Isaya 19

1 Ma e wach mane okor kuom Misri: To neuru, Jehova Nyasaye biro piyo piyo koa e boche polo kochomo Misri. Nyiseche mopa mag Misri kirni e nyime kendo jo-Misri dhi ka rumo.

The doom of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth upon a swift cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved because of his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in its inward parts.

2 “Abiro thuwo jo-Misri kendgi, ngʼato noked mana gowadgi, joma odak mokiewo noked kendgi, mier madongo noked kendgi, kendo pinjeruodhi bende noked kendgi.

And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his fellow; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

3 Chuny jo-Misri nonyosre kendo anaketh gik moko duto ma gichano timo; ginidwar wach kuom nyiseche mopa kod lang chunje mane osetho, ajuoke kod nyakalondo.

And the spirit of Egypt shall be emptied out in its inward parts, and its counsel will I frustrate; and they will inquire of the idols, and of the charmers, and of those that have familiar spirits, and of the wizards.

4 Abiro chiwo jo-Misri e lwet jatelo mager, kendo ruoth makwiny ema nobed gi loch kuomgi.” Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.

And I will surrender the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a rigorous king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts.

5 Pige mag aora biro dwono, kendo kuonde ma pi luwo biro two ma bar okak.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

6 Kuonde ma pi luwo nodungʼ marach; bede aore mag Misri nodwon mi two. Odundu kod se biro ner,

And the rivers shall become foul; and shallow and dried up shall become the deep streams: reeds and flags shall wither.

7 kaachiel gi gik moti mopidhie cham e bath aora Nael notwo ma bar okak kendo cham bende noner molal nono.

The well-rooted plants by the stream, by the mouth of the stream, and every thing sown by the stream, shall dry up, be scattered [by the wind, ] and be no more.

8 Jolupo nobed gi lit mi ywagi, to jogo duto matego golowu e aora Nael; kod joma chiko gokgi e pi nosienyre.

The fishermen also shall lament, and all they that cast an angle into the stream shall mourn; and they that spread nets upon the face of the waters shall languish.

9 Jogo machweyo lewni mag tworo nobed mool kendo joma chweyo gik mabeyo chunygi nonyosre.

And ashamed shall be they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white cloth.

10 Jogo maloso lewni nobed gi parruok, kendo jogo mayudo misara nobed gi chuny mool.

And its foundations shall be beaten down, all that build sluices shall be grieved in soul.

11 Jotelo mag Zoan gin ji mofuwo, kendo jongʼad rieko mag Farao chiwo paro manono. Ere kaka iwacho ne Farao niya, “An achiel kuom jorieko, ma nopuonjore kuom ruodhi machon?”

Surely fools are the princes of Zo'an! the wise of the counsellors of Pharaoh [impart] silly counsel: how can ye say unto Pharaoh, I am a son of the wise, a son of the ancient kings?

12 Koro ere jogi mariekgo? Koro ginyisiane mondo ingʼe gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego chano timo ne Misri.

Where are they, these, thy wise men? that they may tell thee now, that they know what the Lord of hosts hath resolved on over Egypt.

13 Jotend Zoan osebedo joma ofuwo, jodong Memfis osewuondi; kendo jotelogi osewito jo-Misri.

The princes of Zo'an are become fools, deceived are the princes of Noph; and Egypt is led astray by the chiefs of its tribes.

14 Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼogi ma chunygi ool; gimiyo jo-Misri tangni e gik moko duto ma otimo, machal mana ka jakongʼo madwanyore kama ongʼokie.

The Lord hath poured out in the midst thereof a spirit of perverseness: and they have led Egypt astray in all its work, as a drunkard reeleth astray in his vomit.

15 Onge gimoro amora ma Misri nyalo timo maber, bedni en jatelo kata ngʼama otelne, obed bad othith kata odundu.

And there shall not be for Egypt [successful] work, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.

16 E kindeno jo-Misri nochal mana ka mon. Gibiro kirni ka luoro omakogi ka gineno kum maa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.

On that day shall Egypt be like the women: and it shall tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he waveth over it.

17 Piny Juda nomi luoro maduongʼ omak jo-Misri. Ji duto ma nowinj nying Juda kihondko nogo, nikech gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechano timonegi.

And the land of Judah shall become unto Egypt a terror, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be in dread, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts, which he hath resolved against it.

18 E kindeno mier madongo abich mag Misri nowuo gi dho jo-Kanaan kendo ginikwongʼre ni ginitine Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Achiel kuomgi noluongi ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Kethruok.

On that day shall be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by the Lord of hosts; “The city of destruction” shall one be called.

19 E kindeno kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye nobedi e dier piny Misri kendo kidi mar rapar mar Jehova Nyasaye noket e tongʼne.

On that day shall there be all altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at its border to the Lord.

20 Obiro bedo ranyisi kendo rapar ne Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e piny Misri. Ka giywagore ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech joma sandogi, to obiro oronegi jawar kendo jakony, mi enoresgi.

And it shall be for a sign and for a testimony unto the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the Lord because of the oppressors, and he will send them a helper, and a chief, and he shall deliver them.

21 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye noyangre maler mi jo-Misri ngʼeye, kendo e kindeno giniyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Gibiro lame ka gitimone misengini kod chiwo mag cham; ka gisingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo gichopo singruokno.

And the Lord will be made known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord on that day, and will do service [with] sacrifice and oblation; yea, they will make vows unto the Lord and perform [them].

22 Jehova Nyasaye biro goyo Misri gi masiche, nogogi kendo bangʼe nochang-gi. Giniduogi ir Jehova Nyasaye, mi nowinj kwayogi kendo ochang-gi.

And the Lord will thus strike Egypt, striking and healing it: and they will return unto the Lord, and he will be entreated of them, and heal them.

23 E kindeno yo maduongʼ nobedi koa Misri nyaka Asuria. Jo-Asuria nodhi Misri kendo jo-Misri bende nodhi Asuria. Jo-Misri kod jo-Asuria nolam kaachiel.

On that day there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, and Asshur shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptians into Asshur, and the Egyptians shall serve with Asshur [the Lord].

24 E kindeno Israel nobed piny mar adek ka giriwore gi Misri kod Asuria mondo gibed gweth ne piny.

On that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Asshur, a blessing in the midst of the earth.

25 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego biro gwedhogi kawacho niya, “Agwedho jo-Misri ma gin joga, jo-Asuria ma gin chwechna kod jo-Israel ma gin girkeni mara.”

Whom the Lord of hosts will have blessed, saying, Blessed be my people Egypt, and Asshur the work of my hands, and my heritage Israel.
