Isaya 22

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

The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

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.

Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead 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 thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, [which] have fled from far.

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

Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling 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 [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of 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.

And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

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

And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

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

And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of 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.

Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

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

And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify 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.

Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned 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.

And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with 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!”

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

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

And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

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

Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, [even] unto Shebna, which [is] over the house, [and say],

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 hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?

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

Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

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.

He will surely violently turn and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’s house.

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

And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.

20 E kindeno analuong jatichna Eliakim ma wuod Hilkia.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the 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.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants 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.

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

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

And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

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

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.

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, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
