Isaya 1
1 Fweny ma wuoyo ewi Juda kod Jerusalem mane Isaya wuod Amoz oneno e ndalo loch Uzia gi Jotham gi Ahaz kod Hezekia mane gin ruodhi Juda.
The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Winji yaye polo! Chik iti, yaye piny! Nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo: asepidho nyithindo mobedo madongo, to gisepiem koda.
Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for Jehovah has spoken. I have nourished and brought up sons, and they have rebelled against me.
3 Rwath ongʼeyo wuon, kendo kanyna ongʼeyo kund wuon, to jo-Israel ok ongʼeya adier; joga awuon onge gi winjo.
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib, but Israel does not know; my people does not consider.
4 Yaye oganda ma joricho, koth ji mogangore gi timbe mamono, kanyakla mar joma timbegi richo, nyithindo mochiwore ne timbe acheje! Giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye; gisejaro Jal Maler mar Israel giselokone ngʼegi.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, sons who deal corruptly! They have forsaken Jehovah. They have despised the Holy One of Israel. They have gone away backward.
5 Angʼo momiyo pod usiko kudwaro kum? Angʼo momiyo usiko kungʼanyo? Wiyeu opongʼ gi adhonde kendo chunyu opongʼ gi lit.
Why will ye still be stricken, that ye revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 Kochakore e tiendu nyaka ewiu onge kama ngima, kendo upongʼ gi adhonde, kuonde moriemo, kod kuonde moridhore mapok oketie yath, mapok otwe kata wiroe yath.
From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, but wounds, and bruises, and fresh stripes. They have not been closed nor bound up nor soothed with oil.
7 Pinyu odongʼ gunda, miechu madongo osewangʼ gi mach; puotheu jopinje mamoko osemau mana kuneno gi wangʼu, ma gidongʼ gundni mana ka joma wasigu oseriembo.
Your country is desolate. Your cities are burned with fire. Your land-strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 Nyar Sayun odongʼ ka kiru manie e puoth mzabibu, kata ka abila e puoth budho kendo ka dala maduongʼ ma wasigu omonjo.
And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a shed in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Ka dine Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok oweyo jomoko kuomwa otony, to dine wachalo gi jo-Sodom, adier dikoro ne wachalo kaka jo-Gomora.
Unless Jehovah of hosts had left to us a seed, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.
10 Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un jotelo mag Sodom, chikuru itu ne chike mag Nyasachwa un oganda man Gomora!
Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Misengini mangʼeny mutimogi amon-go.” Aol gi misengini miwangʼo pep mag imbe kaachiel gi boche mag jamni machwe. Ok amor gi remb rwedhi gi mag imbe kod mag nywogi.
What to me is the multitude of your sacrifices? says Jehovah. I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts. And I do not delight in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of he-goats.
12 Ere ngʼama osekwayou gigo ka ubiro e nyima, donge mano en dwanyo hekalu mara maler.
When ye come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand-to trample my courts?
13 Kik ukel misengini maonge tich e nyima! Tik ubanino dungʼna marach, kendo sewni mutimo ka dwe opor, gi mag Sabato kata e chokruoge duto ok amorgo.
Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination to me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-I cannot bear iniquity and the solemn meeting.
14 Sewni mutimo ka dwe opor kod sewni moyier chido chunya, giselokore tingʼ mapek matura bende aol gi tingʼogi.
Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates. They are a trouble to me. I am weary of bearing them.
15 Ka utingʼo bedeu malo kulemo to anapandnu wangʼa, kendo kata ulem machal nade to ok anadwoku. Lweteu osechwero remo mangʼeny!
And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear; your hands are full of blood.
16 Lwokreuru mondo ubed maler. Goluru timbeu mamono e wangʼa!
Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil.
17 Weuru timbeu maricho; to upuonjru timbe mabeyo! Dwaruru tim makare, kendo jiwuru joma ithiro. Bende nyaka une ni nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho oyal buchegi e yo makare kare.
Learn to do good. Seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo wapor wach, kata obedo ni richou kwar manade to ibiro luoki magibed matar ka pe, bende kata bed ni gikwar malich to nobed marachar ka pamba.
Come now, and let us reason together, says Jehovah, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 Ka uyie kuoma muboloru kendo umako chikena duto, to unucham gik mabeyo mag piny;
If ye are willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.
20 to ka udagi kendo ungʼanyo to ligangla notieku.” Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho.
But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword, for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken it.
21 Neye kaka dala maduongʼ ma yande oluoro Nyasaye koro oselokore ochot! Kinde moko ne en kama adiera odakie, tim makare ne yudore, to tinde jonek ema opongʼe.
How the faithful city has become a harlot! She who was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22 Fedha magu oselokore chuoth nyinyo bende divai magu mogen oseruw gi pi.
Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water.
23 Jotendu ongʼanyo kendo gin e kanyakla mar jokwoge, giduto gihero asoya, kendo gihero gik makonyogi giwegi. Ok giyal buche nyithind kiye kare, bende weche mamon ma chwogi otho okelo e nyimgi ok gidew.
Thy rulers are rebellious, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They judge not the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, kendo Jehova Nyasaye mar kanyakla mar Israel wacho kama: “Anayud kwe kuom jok ma jara kendo nachul kuor ne wasika.
Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies.
25 Anachwadu gi masiche kendo anapwodhu maler, mi agol timbeu mamono duto.
And I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin.
26 Bangʼe anaduognu jongʼad bura makare kaka ne timore e ndalo machon, kendo jongʼad rieko mane nitie aa chakruok. Eka noluongu ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Tim Makare, Dala Maduongʼ Madiera Nitie.”
And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counselors as at the beginning. Afterward thou shall be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.
27 Sayun nopwodh gi bura makare bende joma oyie modak e iye norit kod adiera.
Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her converts with righteousness.
28 To joma ongʼanyo kod joricho duto gi joma oweyo Jehova Nyasaye notiek chuth.
But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, and those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
29 Wiu nokuodi gi tiend yiende mag ober ma umorgo kutimoe misengini, kendo unubed gi kuyo kuom puothe museyiero mondo ulemie.
For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 Ubiro chalo kaka yiend ober ma ite ner kendo kaka puodho ma ok yud pi.
For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 Ngʼat maratego e dieru nodok manyap, kendo tekone nowuog mana ka pilni, kendo gigo duto nowangʼ pep maonge ngʼama nyalo nego majno.
And the strong man shall be as flax, and his work as a spark. And they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
