Isaiah 32
1 Lo! in righteousness, shall reign a king, Yea even princes, with equity, shall bear rule.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩgũkagĩa mũthamaki wa gũthamaka na ũthingu, na kũgĩe na anene a gwathana na kĩhooto.
2 So shall each one become As a hiding-place from the wind And a covert from the storm, —As channels of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.
O mũndũ agaatuĩka ta handũ ha kwĩgitia rũhuho, na ha kwĩyũa mbura ya kĩhuhũkanio, o na atuĩke ta tũrũũĩ twa maaĩ tũgũtherera werũ-inĩ, o na ta kĩĩruru kĩa rwaro rũnene rwa ihiga bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩ na nyoota.
3 And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed, —And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;
Namo maitho ma andũ arĩa moonaga matikaahingwo mage kuona, namo matũ ma arĩa maiguaga nĩmagathikĩrĩria.
4 And the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.
Mũndũ ũrĩa ũhĩkaga gwĩka maũndũ ateciirĩtie wega, nĩakamenya maũndũ na ataũkĩrwo nĩmo, naruo rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũtondoiraga nĩrũkaaria o wega.
5 A base man, shall no longer be called, noble, —Nor, a knave, be named, liberal;
Gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ mũndũ mũkĩĩgu agaacooka kũgĩa igweta, kana kĩmaramari gĩcooke gũtĩĩo mũno.
6 For, a base man, with baseness, will speak, And, his heart, will practise iniquity, —Practising profanity, And speaking, against Yahweh that which misleadeth, Emptying the soul of the hungry, And the drink of the thirsty, he causeth to fail;
Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ mũkĩĩgu aragia ũrimũ, na meciiria make mathugundaga maũndũ mooru: Mũndũ ũcio ekaga maũndũ matarĩ ma ũ-ngai, na akamemerekia maũndũ ma gũcambia Jehova; arĩa ahũtu amatigaga matarĩ na gĩa kũrĩa, na arĩa anyootu akamaima maaĩ ma kũnyua.
7 Yea, a knave, his weapons are wicked, —He, base schemes, hath devised To ruin the oppressed with speeches of falsehood Even when the needy pleadeth, for justice.
Mĩthiĩre ya mũndũ kĩmaramari no ya waganu, athugundaga o maũndũ mooru ma kũniinithia andũ arĩa athĩĩni na ũhoro wa maheeni, o na rĩrĩa mathaithana ma mũbatari marĩ ma kĩhooto.
8 But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised, —And, he, upon noble things, will stand,
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa mũtaana eciiragia o maũndũ ma ũtugi, na maũndũ macio ma ũtugi nĩmo egũtũũra ekaga.
9 Ye women in comfort! arise hear my voice, Ye daughters so confident give ear to my speech: —
Atĩrĩrĩ inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, arahũkai mũthikĩrĩrie mũgambo wakwa; o na inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, ta iguai ũrĩa nguuga!
10 Some days beyond a year, ye shall be troubled ye confident ones, —For failed hath the vintage, No, gathering, cometh in.
Mwaka na matukũ matarĩ maingĩ maathira-rĩ, inyuĩ mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra, nĩmũkainaina; nĩgũkorwo gũtigakorwo na magetha ma thabibũ, o na kana gũkorwo na magetha mangĩ.
11 Tremble, ye women in comfort, Be troubled ye daughters so confident, —Strip! and bare yourselves, and gird somewhat on your loins:
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ andũ-a-nja aya mũtarĩ ũndũ ũmũthĩĩnagia, inainai nĩ kũmaka; inainai inyuĩ airĩtu aya mũtarĩ ũndũ mwĩtigagĩra! Rutai nguo cianyu mũtigwo njaga, mũcooke mwĩohe makũnia njohero.
12 Upon your breasts, continue smiting: For desirable fields, For fruitful vine.
Mwĩhũũrei ithũri, mũrĩrĩre mĩgũnda yanyu ĩrĩa mĩega, o na mĩthabibũ ĩrĩa ĩciaraga mũno,
13 Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars shall grow, —Yea over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!
na mũrĩrĩre bũrũri wa andũ akwa, ũcio ũmerete mĩigua na congʼe: ĩĩ ti-itherũ, cakaĩrai nyũmba ciothe cia ikeno, na itũũra rĩrĩa inene rĩrĩ na ndũhiũ cia arĩĩu.
14 For the palace, is abandoned, the tumult of the city, hath ceased—Hill and watch-tower, serve as caves, unto times age-abiding, The joy of wild-asses, The pasture of flocks: —
Nĩgũkorwo ciĩgitĩro iria nũmu nĩigatiganĩrio, narĩo itũũra rĩu inene rĩiyũrĩte andũ rĩtigwo ũtheri; o na nyũmba ya mũthamaki na mũthiringo mũraihu igaatuĩka bũrũri ũteanĩirio nginya tene, gũtuĩke bũrũri wa gũtũũhagwo nĩ ndigiri, na ũrĩithio wa ndũũru cia mbũri,
15 Until there be poured out upon us the spirit, from on high, —Then shall the wilderness become, garden-land, And the garden-land, for a forest, be reckoned;
nginya rĩrĩa tũgaitĩrĩrio Roho kuuma igũrũ, naguo werũ ũgarũrwo ũtuĩke mũgũnda mũnoru, na mũgũnda ũcio mũnoru ũhaane ta mũtitũ.
16 Then shall, justice inhabit, the wilderness, And righteousness, in the garden-land, shall abide;
Ciira ũgaatũũra ũtuagwo na kĩhooto kũu werũ-inĩ, naguo ũthingu ũtũũre kũu mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio mũnoru.
17 And the yield of righteousness, shall be, peace, —And the tillage of righteousness, quietness, and confidence! to times age-abiding;
Maciaro ma ũthingu ũcio nĩ thayũ; naguo uumithio wa ũthingu ũgaakorwo ũrĩ ũhooreri na kwĩhoka Ngai nginya tene.
18 And my people shall dwell, In a borne of peace, —and In habitations of security, and In resting-places of comfort.
Andũ akwa magaatũũraga ciikaro cia thayũ, matũũre kũndũ gũtarĩ ũgwati, na mahurũkage kũndũ gũtarĩ na thĩĩna.
19 But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.
O na mbura ya mbembe ĩngĩgũithia mĩtĩ ya mũtitũ thĩ, narĩo itũũra inene rĩaraganio biũ-rĩ,
20 How happy are ye who sow beside all waters, —Who send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.
kaĩ inyuĩ nĩmũkarathimwo-ĩ, mũhaandage mbegũ cianyu gũkuhĩ na tũrũũĩ, nacio ngʼombe na ndigiri cianyu irĩithagio kũndũ guothe.
