Isaya 24
1 Neuru Jehova Nyasaye biro ketho piny, mi odongʼ nono, obiro loko kit piny kendo keyo jogo modakie.
Behold, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth its inhabitants.
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.
As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
3 Piny nodongʼ gunda kendo nokethre chuth. Jehova Nyasaye ema osewacho wechegi.
The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Piny notwo kendo noner, piny nojwangʼ miner, kendo polo gi piny nojwangʼ.
The land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
5 Piny osedwany gi jok modakie, giseketho chike, gisetamore rito buchene, kendo giseketho winjruok manyaka nene.
The land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke 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 a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
7 Divai mobi manyien notuwo kendo mzabibu biro ner, ji duto mamiyo ji mor nobed gi chuny lit.
The new wine mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart 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 is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Ok ginichak gimadh divai ka giwer, nikech kongʼo osebedo marach ne jomath.
No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
10 Dala maduongʼ okethore modongʼ gunda, kendo dhoudi duto olor.
The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
11 Ji ywagore e wangʼ yore nikech divai onge, mor duto olokore kuyo, piny duto odongʼ gi lit.
There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
12 Dala maduongʼ odongʼ ka oruombore piny kendo dhorangeye mage otur matindo tindo.
Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
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.
Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive-tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is ended.
14 Gitingʼo dwondgi malo, ka gigoyo koko gimor koa yo podho chiengʼ, kendo ka gihulo teko mar Jehova Nyasaye.
These shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall 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,
Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, 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 end of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
17 Masira rita, osekunyna bugo kendo obadho osechikna, yaye un oganda modak e piny.
The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
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.
Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Piny osebarore, piny oselal nono, kendo piny yiengni malich.
The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
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 like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
21 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye nokum teko duto manie polo malo, kaachiel gi ruodhi duto manie piny.
In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are 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.
They shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they be visited.
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.
The moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
