Isaya 18

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

Woe to the land with spreading wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush,

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 sendeth on the sea ambassadors, and in vessels of bulrushes messengers over the face of the waters. Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation pulled and torn, to a people terrible from their beginning and onward; 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 ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, when the ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the cornet is blown, hear ye.

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 hath said the Lord unto me, I will take my rest, and I will look down on my dwelling-place like a clear heat upon 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 blossom is past, and the flower becometh a ripening grape, will he both cut off the tendrils with pruning-knives, and the sprigs will he remove and cut down.

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 unto the birds of prey of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the birds of prey shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon 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.

At that time shall be brought as a present unto the Lord of hosts a people pulled and torn, and a people terrible from their beginning and onward; 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.
