Isaya 13
1 Ma e wach mane Nyasaye onyiso Isaya wuod Amoz e fweny kuom Babulon:
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Chunguru bandera ewi got motwo kendo gouru koko, gwelgiuru mondo gidonj e dhorangeye joma ogen.
Set ye up an ensign upon the bare mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Asegolo chik ne joga maler; asechiko joga ma jolweny kakecho mondo gitim gima adwaro, jogo mamor kaloyo.
I have commanded my consecrated ones, yea, I have called my mighty men for mine anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
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, like as of a great people! the noise of a tumult of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! the LORD of hosts mustereth the host for the battle.
5 Gibiro ka gia e pinje man mabor, manie tungʼ piny mogik, Jehova Nyasaye kod gige mager mag lweny, biro mondo otiekgo pinyno duto.
They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, 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 at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
7 Nikech wachni, lwet ngʼato ka ngʼato ne jony, kendo kihondko nogo chuny ji duto ma aa.
Therefore shall all hands be feeble, 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 they shall be dismayed; pangs and sorrows shall take hold [of them]; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be] faces of flame.
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 cometh, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, 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 the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
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 punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Abiro miyo ji doko manok moloyo dhahabu mopwodhi, manok mana ka dhahabu ma aa Ofir.
I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir.
13 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nomi polo tetni, kendo piny noyiengni milengʼre; e chiengʼ onogo mar mirimbe mager.
Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
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 it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
15 Ngʼato angʼata manomaki nochwo matho, jogo duto momaki noneg gi ligangla.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.
16 Nyithindgi madhoth nochwad piny e wangʼ-gi ka gineno, utegi noyaki, kendo mondegi nomak githuon.
Their infants also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives 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, which shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Gibiro chielo yawuowi matindo gi asere; ok giningʼwon-ne nyithindo madhoth, bende ok ginikech nyithindo matindo.
And [their] bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Babulon ma en piny maber moloyo pinjeruodhi duto, kendo ma jo-Babulon sungerego, Nyasaye nokethi mana kaka noketho Sodom gi Gomora.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.
21 To mana le mag thim ema nodag kanyo, kibwe nopongʼ utegi; tula bende nodag kanyo kendo nywok nolengʼre kanyo.
But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs 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 wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
