Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.
Arahũka, arahũka, wee Zayuni, wĩĩkĩre hinya. Ĩkĩra nguo ciaku iria irĩ riiri, o wee Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa inene na rĩamũre. Nĩgũkorwo kuuma rĩu thĩinĩ waku gũtigacooka gũtoonya mũndũ ũtarĩ mũruu kana mũndũ ũrĩ na thaahu.
2 Shake yourself from the dust! Arise, sit up, Jerusalem! Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion!
Wĩribaribe rũkũngũ; ũkĩra, ũikarĩre gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene, wee Jerusalemu. Wĩohore mĩnyororo ĩyo ĩrĩ ngingo yaku, wee mwarĩ wa Zayuni, o wee ũtũire ũrĩ muohe.
3 For Yahweh says, “You were sold for nothing; and you will be redeemed without money.”
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wee wendirio ũtarutĩirwo kĩndũ, na ũgaakũũrwo ũtarutĩirwo mbeeca.”
4 For the Lord Yahweh says: “My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there; and the Assyrian has oppressed them without cause.
Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tene andũ akwa maikũrũkire bũrũri wa Misiri magĩthiĩ gũtũũra marĩ ageni kuo; thuutha ũyũ andũ a Ashuri nĩmamahinyĩrĩirie.”
5 “Now therefore, what do I do here,” says Yahweh, “seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock,” says Yahweh, “and my name is blasphemed continually all day long.
Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ ndĩ nakĩo? “Nĩgũkorwo andũ akwa maatahirwo o ũguo tũhũ, nao andũ arĩa mamaathaga no kũmanyũrũria. Narĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa rĩcambagio hĩndĩ ciothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in that day that I am he who speaks. Behold, it is I.”
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ akwa nĩmakamenya rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; mũthenya ũcio nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ ndaaririe ũhoro ũcio o tene. Ĩĩ nĩguo, nĩ niĩ ndawaririe.”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Kaĩ magũrũ ma mũndũ ũrĩa ũrarehe ũhoro mwega, nĩmagĩrĩire kũu irĩma-inĩ igũrũ-ĩ, o ũcio ũrahunjanĩria ũhoro wa thayũ, na akarehe ũhoro mwega wa maũndũ magĩrĩru, o na akahunjanĩria ũhoro wa kũhonokania, o we ũrĩa ũreera Zayuni atĩrĩ, “Ngai waku nĩwe ũrathamaka!”
8 Your watchmen lift up their voice. Together they sing; for they shall see eye to eye when Yahweh returns to Zion.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria! Arangĩri aku nĩmaranĩrĩra; maranĩrĩra nĩ gũkena marĩ hamwe. Rĩrĩa Jehova agaacooka Zayuni, nĩmakeyonera na maitho mao.
9 Break out into joy! Sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.
Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo kwa Jerusalemu, ambĩrĩriai kũina nyĩmbo cia gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩahooreretie andũ ake, na agakũũra Jerusalemu.
10 Yahweh has made his holy arm bare in the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Jehova nĩakaguũria guoko gwake gũtheru harĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, ikuone na maitho mao, nacio ituri ciothe cia thĩ nĩcikoona ũhonokanio wa Ngai witũ.
11 Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Go out from among her! Cleanse yourselves, you who carry Yahweh’s vessels.
Eherai, eherai, umai kũu! Mũtikahutie kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu! Umai kũu na mwĩtherie, inyuĩ mũkuuaga indo cia Jehova.
12 For you shall not go out in haste, neither shall you go by flight; for Yahweh will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
No rĩrĩ, mũtikoima na ihenya, kana mũthiĩ mũhanyũkĩte; nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũkaamũtongoria, Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩwe ũkaamuuma thuutha, amũgitĩre.
13 Behold, my servant will deal wisely. He will be exalted and lifted up, and will be very high.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ndungata yakwa ĩgeekaga maũndũ na ũũgĩ; nĩĩkambarario na yambatĩrio, o na ĩtũũgĩrio mũno.
14 Just as many were astonished at you— his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men—
O ta ũrĩa andũ aingĩ maagegirio mũno nĩ ũndũ wake, tondũ gĩthiithi gĩake nĩgĩathũkĩtio mũno, gĩgakĩra kĩa mũndũ o wothe, na mũhianĩre wake ũgathũkio gũkĩra mũhianĩre wa andũ,
15 so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.
ũguo noguo akaamakia ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, nao athamaki nĩmagatumia tũnua twao nĩ ũndũ wake. Nĩgũkorwo maũndũ marĩa materĩtwo, nĩmakamoona, na maũndũ marĩa mataiguĩte, nĩmakamenya ũhoro wamo.
