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 ails you now, that you have all 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.

You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they 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 your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.

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

Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Do not labor to comfort me for 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 it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the LORD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a 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 carried his 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.

It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen 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.

He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor 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 the breaches of the City of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

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

You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses 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.

You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed 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.

In that day the LORD of hosts called for weeping and for mourning, for shaved heads, and for 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, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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 revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the LORD 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 says the LORD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of 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 are you doing here, and whom have you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock."

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

Look, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.

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 wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.

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

I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.

20 E kindeno analuong jatichna Eliakim ma wuod Hilkia.

It will happen 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 your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will 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.

I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.

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

I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory 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.

They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.

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," says the LORD of hosts, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it."
