Isaya 24
1 Neuru Jehova Nyasaye biro ketho piny, mi odongʼ nono, obiro loko kit piny kendo keyo jogo modakie.
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2 Notime machalre ne jodolo kata ne joma moko, misumba kata ne ruodhe, ne dhako man-gi jatich kata ne nyako matiyone, ne jahono kata ne jangʼiewo, ne ngʼat ma holo ji, kata ne ngʼat ma holo, ne ngʼat man-gi gowi kata ngʼat ma holo ji.
And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 Piny nodongʼ gunda kendo nokethre chuth. Jehova Nyasaye ema osewacho wechegi.
The earth shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 Piny notwo kendo noner, piny nojwangʼ miner, kendo polo gi piny nojwangʼ.
The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
5 Piny osedwany gi jok modakie, giseketho chike, gisetamore rito buchene, kendo giseketho winjruok manyaka nene.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Kuom mano kwongʼ osetieko piny kendo joma odakie nyaka yud kum kuom richogi. Omiyo joma odak e piny osewangʼ mi manok ema odongʼ.
Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
7 Divai mobi manyien notuwo kendo mzabibu biro ner, ji duto mamiyo ji mor nobed gi chuny lit.
The new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
8 Mor mar nyiduonge norum, koko mar joma nigi mor kod ilo nolal, kendo mor mar thum ok nowinji.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Ok ginichak gimadh divai ka giwer, nikech kongʼo osebedo marach ne jomath.
They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
10 Dala maduongʼ okethore modongʼ gunda, kendo dhoudi duto olor.
Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
11 Ji ywagore e wangʼ yore nikech divai onge, mor duto olokore kuyo, piny duto odongʼ gi lit.
There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12 Dala maduongʼ odongʼ ka oruombore piny kendo dhorangeye mage otur matindo tindo.
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
13 Ma notimre e piny ngima e kind ogendini mana kaka ipono olemb zeituni e yath kata mana kaka olemo manok, mag mzabibu dongʼne johulo e yath kosepon.
For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Gitingʼo dwondgi malo, ka gigoyo koko gimor koa yo podho chiengʼ, kendo ka gihulo teko mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
15 Omiyo miuru Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ un joma odak e chula mag nam man yo wuok chiengʼ; tingʼuru nying Jehova Nyasaye malo, ma en Nyasach Israel,
'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea.'
16 koa e tungʼ piny duto wawinjo wer mawer niya: “Duongʼ odongʼ ne Jal Makare.” To an ne awacho niya, “Aserumo chuth, aserumo chuth! Mano kaka aneno malit! Jandhoko ndhogo ji! Kuom timbe mag andhoga osendhogo ji!”
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Masira rita, osekunyna bugo kendo obadho osechikna, yaye un oganda modak e piny.
Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18 Ngʼama notem ringo kowinjo mahu mar masira nolwar e bur, kendo ngʼama notem wuok e burno nolwar e obadho. Dhorangeye mag polo noyawre, kendo mise mag piny noyiengni.
And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
19 Piny osebarore, piny oselal nono, kendo piny yiengni malich.
The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
20 Piny thembo ka jakongʼo, kendo ohukni ka kiru ma yamo yiengo, kethruok kod timbene mamono omiyo opodho ma ok nochak oa malo.
The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye nokum teko duto manie polo malo, kaachiel gi ruodhi duto manie piny.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 Nochokgi kaachiel kendo nolornegi mana kaka jo-jela molornegi e od twech kendo nolornegi e od twech, mi giyud kum kuom kinde mangʼeny.
And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
23 Dwe norieny matip-tip kendo wangʼ chiengʼ noimre nikech Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, nogur lochne kod duongʼne e Got Sayun kod Jerusalem e nyim jodongo.
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
