Isaya 10
1 Yaye, unune malit un joma loso chike ma ok nikare, un joma keto chike maricho mathiro ji,
Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers that write perverseness;
2 utamo joma odhier e adieragi kendo umayo joga ma ochando gik ma onego giyudi, omiyo umayo mon ma chwogi otho kendo uyako gige nyithind kiye.
to turn aside the needy from justice, and to rob the poor of my people of their right, that widows may be their spoil, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!
3 To initim angʼo chiengʼ ngʼado bura, ka masira nowuog kuma bor? To en ngʼa manuring udhi ire mondo okonyu? Mwandu magu to unuwe kanye?
And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?
4 Onge gima nodongʼ makmana kirni e nyim joma otwe kata podho e lwet janek. Kata ka magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe ok norum kuomgi, kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
They shall only bow down under the prisoners, and shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 Mano kaka unune malit un jo-Asuria, luth ma agoyogo ji ka akecho, en e luth ma akumogo ji ka mirima omaka!
Ho Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, the staff in whose hand is mine indignation!
6 En ema aore, mondo odhi oked gi oganda mokia Nyasaye, achike mondo omonj joma miya mirima, mi oketh mwandugi kendo oyakgi, kendo onyon-gi piny mana ka chwodho minyono e wangʼ yore.
I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 To mae ok e gima oparo timo to bende ma ok e gima ni e pache; to dwarone en ketho kendo tieko ogendini mangʼeny.
Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.
8 Openjo niya, Donge jotenda duto gin ruodhi?
For he saith, Are not my princes all of them kings?
9 Donge Kalno osechalo gi Karkemish? Donge Hamath chal mana gi Arpad, kendo Samaria mana ka Damaski?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Mana kaka asemako pinyruodhi mag nyiseche manono, ma gin pinyruoth ma kido ma gin-go ngʼeny moloyo mag Jerusalem gi Samaria.
As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria;
11 Donge onego atimne Jerusalem kod nyisechene manono mana kaka asetimone Samaria kod kido mage manono?
shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
12 Ka Ruoth Nyasaye osetieko tijene duto mag kumo Got Sayun gi jo-Jerusalem, enowach niya, “Abiro kumo ruodh Asuria nikech timbene mohero mag sunga gi ngʼayi.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, that, when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
13 Nikech owacho niya, “‘Kuom teko mar bada kod riekona asetimo ma nikech an-gi winjo matut. Ne aketho tongʼ mag pinje, mi ayako mwandugi mathoth; kendo ka ngʼat maratego ne amako ruodhigo.
For he hath said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I have understanding: and I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures, and like a valiant man I have brought down them that sit [on thrones]:
14 Mana kaka ngʼato kawo tongʼ e od winyo, e kaka lweta oseyudo kuma mwandu mag pinje nitie; mana kaka ji choko tongʼ modongʼ kendgi, e kaka ne achoko pinje duto, maonge mano mane nyalo kwadho bwombe, kata ngʼamo dhoge mondo oywagi.’”
and my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the peoples; and as one gathereth eggs that are forsaken, have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or that opened the mouth, or chirped.
15 To bende le disungre ne ngʼat matongʼo kode, koso musimeno dinyisre ne ngʼat ma ngʼeto kode? Bende arungu digo ngʼato kaonge ngʼama odire, koso okwajo diwuothi kaonge ngʼama osirore kode?
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? shall the saw magnify itself against him that wieldeth it? as if a rod should wield them that lift it up, [or] as if a staff should lift up [him that is] not wood.
16 Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, biro kelo tuo kuom jolwenj Asuria marateke; kendo tuo norew ringregi ka mach.
Therefore will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.
17 Ler mar Israel nolokre mach, Jal Maler margi nolokre mach mangʼangʼni; ei odiechiengʼ achiel kende nowangʼ motiek pep kuthe kod pedo mag ruodh Asuria.
And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame; and it will burn and devour his thorns and his briers in one day.
18 Ber mar bungene kod puothene momewo, nowangʼ chuth, mana ka ngʼat matuo ochamo dende motieko.
And he will consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body: and it shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
19 Kendo yiende mag bungene nodongʼ manok, ma nyathi matin nyalo kwanogi.
And the remnant of the trees of his forest shall be few, so that a child may write them.
20 Chiengʼno jo-Israel manok, ma nyikwa Jakobo mane odongʼ, nowe keto genogi kuom ngʼat mane tiekogi, to gini gen gi chunygi duto mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler mar Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and they that are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean upon him that smote them, but shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Nyikwa Jakobo manok mane odongʼ noduog ir Nyasaye Maratego.
A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
22 Yaye jo-Israel kata obedo ni ungʼeny, ka kwoyo manie dho nam, to ji manok kuomu kende ema nodwogi. Nimar oseketo bura makare mabiro tieko ji duto.
For though thy people, Israel, be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness.
23 Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osechano kelo masira mabiro tieko piny duto.
For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.
24 Kuom mano, ma e gima Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho: “Yaye un joga modak Sayun, kik ubed maluor nikech jo-Asuria, kata obedo ni gichwadou gi ludhegi kendo gigoyou gi rungegi kaka jo-Misri ne timo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian, though he smite thee with the rod, and lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
25 Machiegnini mirimba kodu biro rumo kendo koro abiro chomogi tir mondo atiekgi.”
For yet a very little while, and the indignation [against thee] shall be accomplished, and mine anger [shall be directed] to his destruction.
26 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nochwadgi gi del, mana kaka e kinde mane ogoyo jo-Midian, e lwanda mar Oreb; kendo enorie ludhe ewi pi mana kaka ne otimo Misri.
And Jehovah of hosts will stir up against him a scourge, as in the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be over the sea, and he will lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
27 E kindeno tingʼ mapek mane joga nigo nogol kuomgi, jok mag-gi nogol e ngʼutgi; kendo jok notur nikech gisebedo machwe.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall depart from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed by reason of fatness.
28 Ne aneno ka gidonjo Ayath, mi gikalo dier Migron; kendo negikawo gigegi Mikmash.
He is come to Aiath, he is passed through Migron; at Michmash he layeth up his baggage;
29 Kane giwuotho ka gikalo negiwacho niya, “Otieno ma kawuono wabiro bworo Geba.” Jo-Rama kibaji ogoyo; to Gibea ma jo-dala Saulo joringo dhi.
they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul is fled.
30 Yaye, nyi Galim, gouru nduru! Yaye, Laish chikuru itu! Yaye, Anathoth mar midhiero!
Cry aloud with thy voice, O daughter of Gallim! hearken, O Laishah! O thou poor Anathoth!
31 Jo-Madmena ringo; un jo-Gebim ringuru upondi.
Madmenah is a fugitive; the inhabitants of Gebim flee for safety.
32 Kawuono gibiro bworo kambigi Nob; gibiro kwadho bandera, e got mar nyar Sayun, machiegni gi got matin mar Jerusalem.
This very day shall he halt at Nob: he shaketh his hand at the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 Neuru Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, biro tieko wasike gi teko maduongʼ. Yiende ma yamo yiengo nongʼadi, to yiende maboyo nolwar piny.
Behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will lop the boughs with terror: and the high of stature shall be hewn down, and the lofty shall be brought low.
34 Obiro ngʼado bunge moyugno kod le; bende Lebanon biro podho e nyim, Nyasaye Maratego.
And he will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
