Isaya 17
1 Ma e wach mane okor kuom Damaski: “Neuru, Damaski ok nochak obed dala maduongʼ, to obiro bedo pidhe mag gik mokethi.
The burden of Damascus. Behold Damascus shall cease to be a city, and shall be as a ruinous heap of stones.
2 Mier madongo mag Aroer nodongʼ gunda nodongʼ kar nindo jamni kendo onge ngʼama nobwog-gi.
The cities of Aroer shall be left for flocks, and they shall rest there, and there shall be none to make them afraid.
3 Dala maduongʼ mochiel nolal nono koa Efraim nyaka kom loch man Damaski; jo-Aram manok modongʼ tekogi norum mana kaka mar jo-Israel norumo,” Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.
And aid shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: and the remnant of Syria shall be as the glory of the children of Israel: saith the Lord of hosts.
4 “E kindeno duongʼ mar Jakobo nolal; kendo nodok manok.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
5 Nochal mana ka jakeyo mabeto cham choko kamoro achiel bangʼe okayogi gi lwete mana kaka jahulo, hulo cham e Holo mar Refaim.
And it shall be as when one gathereth in the harvest that which remaineth, and his arm shall gather the ears of corn: and it shall be as he that seeketh ears in the vale of Raphaim.
6 Kaka cham dongʼ e puodho bangʼ hulo, e kaka olembe mag zeituni nodongʼ e yath kosepon, olembe ariyo kata adek nyalo dongʼ ewi bede yath mamalo kendo olembe angʼwen kata abich nyalo dongʼ e bedene monyaa,” Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel ema owacho.
And the fruit thereof that shall be left upon it, shall be as one cluster of grapes, and as the shaking of the olive tree, two or three berries in the top of a bough, or four or five upon the top of the tree, saith the Lord the God of Israel.
7 E kindeno ji nongʼi Jachwechgi kendo gichom wengegi kuom Jal Maler mar Israel.
In that day man shall bow down himself to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.
8 Ok gini ngʼi kende mag misango, kata kuom tije mag lwetgi, kendo ok ginibed gi luor ne sirni mag Ashera kata ne kende miwangʼoe ubani ma lwetgi oloso.
And he shall not look to the altars which his hands made: and he shall not have respect to the things that his fingers wrought, such as groves and temples.
9 E kindeno miechgi madongo mochiel motegno, mane giweyo nikech jo-Israel, biro chalo gi kuonde mojwangʼ motimo bunge kod buya kendo giduto ginidongʼ gunda.
In that day his strong cities shall be forsaken, as the ploughs, and the corn that were left before the face of the children of Israel, and thou shalt be desolate.
10 Wiyi osewil gi Nyasachi ma jaresni; adier ok iseparo Lwanda ma en ohingani. Kuom mano kata ka ipidho cham mabeyo kendo ipidho mzabibu migolo e pinje ma oko,
Because thou hast forgotten God thy saviour, and hast not remembered thy strong helper: therefore shalt thou plant good plants, and shalt sow strange seed.
11 kata obedo ni chiengʼ mipidhogieno ema gidongoe kendo okinyi ma ipidhogieno ema gichiewoe, onge gima niyudi to makmana chandruok kod rem ma ok rum.
In the day of thy planting shall be the wild grape, and in the morning thy seed shall flourish: the harvest is taken away in the day of inheritance, and shall grieve thee much.
12 Yaye, winjuru mahu mar ogendini mangʼeny, giwuo mana ka apaka mar nam! Yaye, winjuru koko mar ji, ka gimor mana ka apaka mar nam!
Woe to the multitude of many people, like the multitude of the roaring sea: and the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters.
13 Kata obedo ni gimor mana ka pi mogingore, to ka akwerogi to giniring ma gidhi mabor, mana machal gi mihudhwe mipiedho e gode ma yamo tero, kata ka yamo mar kalausi.
Nations shall make a noise like the noise of waters overflowing, but he shall rebuke him, and he shall flee far off: and he shall be carried away as the dust of the mountains before the wind, and as a whirlwind before a tempest.
14 Kochopo odhiambo, kibaji nogogi apoya nono! To kapok piny oru, to ginilal nono! Ma e pok mar joma mayowa, kendo en e pok mar joma yakowa.
In the time of the evening, behold there shall be trouble: the morning shall come, and he shall not be: this is the portion of them that have wasted us, and the lot of them that spoiled us.
