Isaya 18

1 Inine malit in piny man-gi bede mag aore mamor mag Kush,

Woe to the land, that winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,

2 ma oro jootene ka ngʼado nam gi yiedhi mohondhi gi oundho. Dhiuru, un joote ma tiendgi yot ir oganda ma roboche kendo ma dendgi poth, moluor kuonde duto, oganda ma tokgi tek mawacho dhok mopogore, kendo ma pinygi aore opogo migawo.

which sends ambassadors by sea and in vessels of papyrus above the waters. Go forth, O swift Angels, to a nation which has been convulsed and torn apart, to a terrible people, after whom there is no other, to a nation apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have spoiled.

3 Un ji duto manie piny, un mudak e piny, ka bandech lweny otingʼ malo ewi gode, to ununene kendo ka turumbete noywagi to unuwinje.

All inhabitants of the world, you who dwell upon the earth: when the sign will have been elevated on the mountains, you will see, and you will hear the blast of the trumpet.

4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachona: Abiro lingʼ thi kendo nangʼichi gie kar dakna mana, kaka piny kwe mos ka chiengʼ liet kendo kaka rumbi mar tho moko ndalo keyo.

For the Lord says this to me: I will be quiet, and I will consider in my place, as the light at midday is clear, and as a cloud of dew in the day of the harvest.

5 E kinde ma keyo podi ma mzabibu osemoyo kendo ma olembgi osechiek, enongʼadgi oko kod ratongʼ kendo enongʼad bedene molawore.

For before the harvest, all was flourishing. And it will spring forth with an untimely completion, and its little branches will be pruned with a curved blade. And what is left over will be cut away and shaken off.

6 Giduto nowegi ne achudhe mae gode kendo ne le mag bungu, winy nochamgi e ndalo mag oro duto, ka le mag bungu to chamogi e ndalo chwiri duto.

And together they will be abandoned to the birds of the mountains and to the wild beasts of the earth. And the birds will be continuously on them in the summer, and all the wild beasts of the earth will winter over them.

7 E kindeno chiwo noter e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Maratego koa kuom oganda ma roboche, kendo ma dendgi poth, moluor kuonde duto, oganda ma tokgi tek mawacho dhok mopogore kendo ma pinygi aore opogo. Chiwogi nokel ewi Got Sayun kama Nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nitie.

In that time, a gift will be carried to the Lord of hosts, from a people divided and torn apart, from a terrible people, after whom there has been no other, from an apprehensive nation, apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have ruined, and it will be carried to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, to mount Zion.
