Isaya 14
1 Jehova Nyasaye biro kecho Jakobo mi enochak oyier Israel, kendo enomi gidag e pinygi giwegi. Jopinje mamoko nobi irgi mi riwre gi od Jakobo.
[But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
2 Ogendini nochokgi mi duog-gi e gwengegi giwegi. Kendo od Israel nolok ogendini jotichgi, machwo kod mamon e piny Jehova Nyasaye. Ginilok joma noketogi wasumbini, obed wasumbinigi mi giti joma ne thirogi.
People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
3 E odiechiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiu yweyo kuom chandruok gi masira kod twech malit,
Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
4 unugo agoro ni ruodh Babulon ka uwacho niya: Neyeuru kaka giko mar jatend ji chalo, kendo kaka gerone orumo!
When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
5 Jehova Nyasaye oseturo ludh joma timbegi mono, ludh loch mar jotelo,
You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
6 mane gisandogo ogendini pile gi gero ka gigoyogi maonge yweyo, kendo ka gitiyogi gi gero malich maonge giko.
You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
7 Pinje duto oyudo yweyo kod kwe omiyo ji kok gi mor.
[But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
8 Yiend saipras kod sida mag Lebanon bende mor kodu kawacho ni: “Koro onge ngʼama nochak otongʼwa nikech osetieku.”
[It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
9 Piny joma otho otuk duto ka romoni kidonjo kuno, kendo ochiewo chunje joma ne osetho mondo omosi, ma gin jogo duto mane jotelo e piny; omiyo jogo duto mane ruodhi mag ogendini aa malo e kombegi mag loch. (Sheol h7585)
The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
10 Giniwuo gi dwol achiel kagiwacho niya, “Kara in bende koro isebedo manyap, mana ka wan; isebedo machal kodwa.”
They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
11 Tekoni duto osedok piny nyaka ei liel, kaachiel gi thumbe ma yande iwinjo; kudni e pieni minindoe kendo e ongedi ma iumorigo. (Sheol h7585)
You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
12 Mano kaka isepodho kia e polo, yaye ratego, sulwe mar okinyi! Oseboli e piny in ma yande itieko ogendini.
You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
13 Ne iwacho e chunyi niya, “Abiro idho e polo; abiro guro lochna malo moyombo sulwe mag Nyasaye; kendo anabed e kom duongʼ, ewi got mar chokruok, mantiere malo mogik mar got maler.
You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
14 Anaidh malo moyombo boche polo; kendo anachal gi Nyasaye Man Malo Moloyo.”
I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
[But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ji duto maneni biro ngʼiyi ka giwuoro, kendo penjo ka gihum kuom gima osetimore niya, “Bende ma e ngʼat mane yiengo piny kendo miyo pinjeruodhi tetni,
The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
17 ngʼat mane omiyo piny duto odongʼ gunda, mane otieko miechgi madongo, kendo mane ok nyal gonyo joma osetweyo odog thuchegi?”
Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
18 Ruodhi duto mag ogendini onindo komi luor, ka moro ka moro ni e liende owuon.
All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
19 In to osejwangʼi oko mar buri mana ka bad yath mojwangʼ; kendo ringri oum gi jogo mosenegi gi ligangla, jogo mowiti e bur motimo kite. Mana ka ringre joma otho minyono gi tielo,
but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
20 ringreni ok noiki kaka noik ruodhi mamoko nimar iseketho piny kendo isenego jogi. Nyithi joma timbegi mono ok nochak oluong nyingegi kendo.
Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
21 Yieruru kamoro ma udhi negoe yawuote nikech richo mag kweregi; ok onego giyud thuolo mar bedo gi loch e piny kendo gipongʼe gi miechgi madongo.
[People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
22 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “Abiro kedo kodgi. Anagol nyinge oko gi joge motony gi nyithinde kod nyikwaye kuom jo-Babulon.”
[This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
23 “Abiro loko kar dakne ochal gi kar dak tula, kendo kar siany; mi anayweye oko kendo tieke chuth.”
I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
24 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osingore niya, “Adier, notimre mana kaka asechano kendo nobedi mana kaka aseparo.
The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
25 Abiro tieko jo-Asuria manie pinya, kendo ananyone piny ewi godena. Jok mage nogol kuom joga kendo tingʼne mapek nogol e gok-gi.”
[When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
26 Ma e chenro mabiro timore ne piny ngima; ma e bat moserie kuom ogendini duto.
I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
27 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechano mar timo ma, en ngʼa manyalo gengʼe? Oserieyo bade, to en ngʼa manyalo tame?
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
28 Wachni nofwenyore e higa mane ruoth Ahaz othoe.
I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
29 Kik ubed gi mor un jo-Filistia duto ni luth mane ogougo osetur, nimar koa kuom thuondno nonywol thuond rachier ma kothe nobed gi kwiri marach.
You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
30 Joma odhier moloyo e kind jodhier noyud kuonde kwath kendo joma ochando noywe gi kwe. To kothi natiek gi kech, kendo kejno noneg joma nok modongʼ kuomi.
Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
31 Dengi, yaye in rangach! Go nduru, yaye in dala maduongʼ! Beduru gi bwok maduongʼ, un jo-Filistia. Rumbi mar iro biro kowuok yo nyandwat kendo onge kata ngʼato achiel madigni kuomgi.
[So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
32 Dwoko mane ma onego omi joote mag pinyno? “Jehova Nyasaye oseguro Sayun, kendo kuome ema joge man-gi lit noyudie resruok.”
If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
