Isaya 13
1 Ma e wach mane Nyasaye onyiso Isaya wuod Amoz e fweny kuom Babulon:
The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
2 Chunguru bandera ewi got motwo kendo gouru koko, gwelgiuru mondo gidonj e dhorangeye joma ogen.
Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
3 Asegolo chik ne joga maler; asechiko joga ma jolweny kakecho mondo gitim gima adwaro, jogo mamor kaloyo.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
4 Winjuru kaka koko wuok e gode; machalo mar oganda mangʼongo, en koko maduongʼ magore e kind pinjeruodhi, machalo mana gi ogendini mangʼeny mochokore kaachiel! Jehova Nyasaye Maratego choko oganda mangʼongo mar lweny.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5 Gibiro ka gia e pinje man mabor, manie tungʼ piny mogik, Jehova Nyasaye kod gige mager mag lweny, biro mondo otiekgo pinyno duto.
To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6 Denguru nimar odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye chiegni; odiechiengno biro ka gir kethruok maduongʼ mawuok e lwet Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7 Nikech wachni, lwet ngʼato ka ngʼato ne jony, kendo kihondko nogo chuny ji duto ma aa.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
8 Kibaji nogogi malich, rem gi kuyo bende noneg-gi; ginibed gi rem mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nongʼi wadgi malich ka midhiero omako.
And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
9 Neuru, odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye biro, en odiechiengʼ malich man-gi mirima kod kum mager, mabiro weyo piny gunda, kendo joricho manie iye.
Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Sulwe mag polo kod lergi ok nonenre. Wangʼ chiengʼ nolokre mudho, kawuok kendo dwe bende ok norieny.
For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
11 Abiro kumo piny kuom timbene mamono, joricho kuom richogi. Abiro tieko wich teko ka mar josunga kendo abiro thiro sunga mar joma wangʼ-gi tek.
And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12 Abiro miyo ji doko manok moloyo dhahabu mopwodhi, manok mana ka dhahabu ma aa Ofir.
A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
13 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nomi polo tetni, kendo piny noyiengni milengʼre; e chiengʼ onogo mar mirimbe mager.
For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
14 Mana kaka mwanda ma jodwar lawo, kod rombe maonge jakwath, e kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi biro dok ir joodgi owuon kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodog e pinygi.
And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
15 Ngʼato angʼata manomaki nochwo matho, jogo duto momaki noneg gi ligangla.
Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
16 Nyithindgi madhoth nochwad piny e wangʼ-gi ka gineno, utegi noyaki, kendo mondegi nomak githuon.
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
17 Neuru, anakel jo-Media, ma ok dew fedha kendo ok gomb dhahabu mondo omonjgi.
Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
18 Gibiro chielo yawuowi matindo gi asere; ok giningʼwon-ne nyithindo madhoth, bende ok ginikech nyithindo matindo.
But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
19 Babulon ma en piny maber moloyo pinjeruodhi duto, kendo ma jo-Babulon sungerego, Nyasaye nokethi mana kaka noketho Sodom gi Gomora.
And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
20 Onge ngʼat manochak obedi e iye kata dak kuno e tienge duto mabiro; onge ja-Arabu moro manodag kuno; bende onge jakwath mano kwa jambe kanyo.
It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
21 To mana le mag thim ema nodag kanyo, kibwe nopongʼ utegi; tula bende nodag kanyo kendo nywok nolengʼre kanyo.
But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
22 Ondiegi noywagre kuondegi mane gigeno, kibwe to noywe e ute mabeyo mag ruoth. Ndalo mag Babulon osekayo machiegni ma ok notony.
And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
