Isaya 10
1 Yaye, unune malit un joma loso chike ma ok nikare, un joma keto chike maricho mathiro ji,
Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed 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 from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.
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 do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? — from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?
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.
Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
5 Mano kaka unune malit un jo-Asuria, luth ma agoyogo ji ka akecho, en e luth ma akumogo ji ka mirima omaka!
Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their 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.
Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
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.
And he — he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For — to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.
8 Openjo niya, Donge jotenda duto gin ruodhi?
For he saith, 'Are not my princes altogether 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 got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
11 Donge onego atimne Jerusalem kod nyisechene manono mana kaka asetimone Samaria kod kido mage manono?
Do I not — as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?
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.
And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his 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 hath said, 'By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,
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 as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I — I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.'
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?
— Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which 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 doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a 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 hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.
18 Ber mar bungene kod puothene momewo, nowangʼ chuth, mana ka ngʼat matuo ochamo dende motieko.
And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
19 Kendo yiende mag bungene nodongʼ manok, ma nyathi matin nyalo kwanogi.
And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth doth 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 hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Nyikwa Jakobo manok mane odongʼ noduog ir Nyasaye Maratego.
A remnant returneth — a 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, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
23 Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osechano kelo masira mabiro tieko piny duto.
For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is making in the midst of 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.
Therefore, thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, 'Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, in the way of Egypt.
25 Machiegnini mirimba kodu biro rumo kendo koro abiro chomogi tir mondo atiekgi.”
For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.
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 awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way 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 hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.
28 Ne aneno ka gidonjo Ayath, mi gikalo dier Migron; kendo negikawo gigegi Mikmash.
He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.
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 over the passage, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Yaye, nyi Galim, gouru nduru! Yaye, Laish chikuru itu! Yaye, Anathoth mar midhiero!
Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.
31 Jo-Madmena ringo; un jo-Gebim ringuru upondi.
Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
32 Kawuono gibiro bworo kambigi Nob; gibiro kwadho bandera, e got mar nyar Sayun, machiegni gi got matin mar Jerusalem.
Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth 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.
Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,
34 Obiro ngʼado bunge moyugno kod le; bende Lebanon biro podho e nyim, Nyasaye Maratego.
And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!
