Isaya 10
1 Yaye, unune malit un joma loso chike ma ok nikare, un joma keto chike maricho mathiro ji,
Cursed are those who make evil decisions, and the writers who make the records of their cruel acts:
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.
Who do wrong to the poor in their cause, and take away the right of the crushed among my people, so that they may have the property of widows, and get under their power those who have no father.
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 you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of 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.
... For all this his wrath 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 my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!
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 nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in 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.
But this is not what is in his mind, and this is not his design; but his purpose is destruction, and the cutting off of more and more nations.
8 Openjo niya, Donge jotenda duto gin ruodhi?
For he says, Are not all my captains kings?
9 Donge Kalno osechalo gi Karkemish? Donge Hamath chal mana gi Arpad, kendo Samaria mana ka Damaski?
Will not the fate of Calno be like that of 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 has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;
11 Donge onego atimne Jerusalem kod nyisechene manono mana kaka asetimone Samaria kod kido mage manono?
So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.
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.
For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.
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 has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;
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 I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.
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?
Will the axe say high-sounding words against him who is using it, or the blade be full of pride against him who is cutting with it? As if a rod had the power of shaking him who is using it, or as if a stick might take up him who 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.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.
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: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.
18 Ber mar bungene kod puothene momewo, nowangʼ chuth, mana ka ngʼat matuo ochamo dende motieko.
And he will put an end to the glory of his woods and of his planted fields, soul and body together; and it will be as when a man is wasted by disease.
19 Kendo yiende mag bungene nodongʼ manok, ma nyathi matin nyalo kwanogi.
And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.
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 will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Nyikwa Jakobo manok mane odongʼ noduog ir Nyasaye Maratego.
The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong 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 your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.
23 Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osechano kelo masira mabiro tieko piny duto.
For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.
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.
For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.
25 Machiegnini mirimba kodu biro rumo kendo koro abiro chomogi tir mondo atiekgi.”
For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their 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 the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.
27 E kindeno tingʼ mapek mane joga nigo nogol kuomgi, jok mag-gi nogol e ngʼutgi; kendo jok notur nikech gisebedo machwe.
And in that day the weight which he put on your back will be taken away, and his yoke broken from off your neck.
28 Ne aneno ka gidonjo Ayath, mi gikalo dier Migron; kendo negikawo gigegi Mikmash.
He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.
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 have gone across the mountain; Geba will be our resting-place tonight, they say: Ramah is shaking with fear; Gibeah of Saul has gone in flight.
30 Yaye, nyi Galim, gouru nduru! Yaye, Laish chikuru itu! Yaye, Anathoth mar midhiero!
Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.
31 Jo-Madmena ringo; un jo-Gebim ringuru upondi.
Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.
32 Kawuono gibiro bworo kambigi Nob; gibiro kwadho bandera, e got mar nyar Sayun, machiegni gi got matin mar Jerusalem.
This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain 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.
See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.
34 Obiro ngʼado bunge moyugno kod le; bende Lebanon biro podho e nyim, Nyasaye Maratego.
And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.
