Isaya 22

1 Ma e wach mokor kuom Holo mar Fweny: Koro angʼo mathagou momiyo un duto uidho ewi udi,

This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

2 Yaye in dala ma mahu opongʼo, yaye dala maduongʼ ma koko gi mor kod ilo opongʼo? Jogi mane otho ok noneg gi ligangla to bende ne ok githo e lweny.

O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.

3 Jotendu duto oseringo kaachiel, osemakgi ma ok oti gi gige lweny moro amora. Un duto mane uringo ka wasigu ne pod ni mabor, osemaku kanyakla moteru e twech.

All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

4 Kuom mano ne awacho niya, “Weyauru aweya mondo aywag malit. Weuru hoya nikech jowa osetieki.”

Therefore I said, “Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly! Do not try to console me over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

5 Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego oseketo odiechieng mahu gi koko kod masira e Holo mar Fweny, en odiechiengʼ mar muko ohinga kendo nduru nowuog malit kochomo ewi gode.

For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision— of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

6 Jo-Elam kawo aserni mag-gi, kaachiel gi joriemb geche mag lweny gi farese; to jo-Kir to nokawo kuodigi.

Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

7 Holniu mabeyo opongʼ gi geche mag lweny, kendo joidh farese osechielo rangeye mag dala maduongʼ.

Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

8 Ruoth Nyasaye oselonyo mabor tekre Juda, kendo e kindeno ne umanyo, gige lweny manie Od Ruoth manie Bungu.

He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

9 Ne uneno ka kuonde mangʼeny mar ohinga mar Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi omukore, omiyo ne uchiko pi odhi e soko mamwalo.

You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.

10 Ne gikwano ute mag Jerusalem kendo ne gimukogi mondo olosgo ohinga motegno.

You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.

11 Ne gikunyo yawo e kind ohinga ariyogo ne pi mawuok e soko machon, to ne ok upenjo Jal mane olose, kata miyo Jalno mane ochane luor.

You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.

12 To Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ne oluongou odiechiengno mondo uywagi kendo udengi, ka upudho yie wiu kendo urwako pien gugru.

On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts called for weeping and wailing, for shaven heads and the wearing of sackcloth.

13 To kata kamano nitie mor kod ilo, kaachiel gi yangʼo dhok kod rombe, chamo ringʼo kod madho divai! Giwacho niya, “We wachiem kendo wamethi nikech kiny wanatho!”

But look, there is joy and gladness, butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine: “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

14 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osefwenyona ma kawinjo: “Richoni ok nopwodhi nyaka chop thou,” Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.

The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”

15 Ma e gima Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho, Dhi ir jakeno mar od ruoth miluongo ni Shebna mondo iwachne niya,

This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace:

16 En angʼo ma itimo ka, kendo en ngʼa manomiyi thuolo mar kunyo buri ka, momiyo iloso bur kama otingʼore, kendo iloso kari maber mar yweyo e kind lwanda?

What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?

17 Bed motangʼ, Jehova Nyasaye chiegni ngʼwasi mi owiti oko, yaye in ngʼat maratego.

Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,

18 Obiro ngʼwasi motweyi matek kendo owiti e piny malach mana ka mipira mowiti. Kuno ema nithoe, kendo kuno ema gecheni mag lweny mabeyo nosikie in mikelo wichkuot ne od ruodhi.

roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master.

19 Abiro goli e kari mar tich kendo goli e loch mari.

I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position.

20 E kindeno analuong jatichna Eliakim ma wuod Hilkia.

On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21 Anarwake gi law mar duongʼ kendo anatwe okanda e nungone mi anamiye loch mari. Enobed wuon joma odak Jerusalem kod Juda.

I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22 Anamiye rayaw mar od Daudi, ma gima oyawo ngʼato ok lor, to bende gima oloro onge ngʼama yawo.

I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

23 Abiro gure motegno kendo mongirore ka sigingi kendo enobed e kom duongʼ ne od wuon mare.

I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father.

24 Duongʼ duto ma joodgi noyudi ma gin, nyithinde gi nyikwaye, gige duto ma ok ogen, machalo kaka bakunde nyaka agulni duto nowuog kuome.

So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.

25 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego wacho niya, “E kindeno sigingi mane ogur motegno kendo mongirore biro pudhore, nongʼade mi olwar kendo gik moko duto mongʼaw kuome bende nolwar.” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.

In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
