Isaya 18

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

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, 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.

That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes on the waters, saying, Go, you swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning till now; a nation meted out and trodden down, 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 you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see you, when he lifts up an ensign on the mountains; and when he blows a trumpet, hear you.

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 so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat on herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of 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, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

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.

They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter on 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 shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning till now; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
