Isaya 25

1 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, in Nyasacha; abiro miyi duongʼ kendo anapak nyingi, nimar kuom adiera mowinjore isetimo gik makare, mago mane osechan chon.

Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.

2 Isemiyo dala maduongʼ omukore, modhurore pidhe pidhe, dalano mochiel motegno okethore, dala maduongʼ ma jopinje mamoko noketoe genogi oserumo; bende ok nochak ogere kendo.

[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.

3 Kuom mano joma roteke nomiyi duongʼ; mier madongo mag ogendini ma jonjore biro miyi luor.

Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.

4 Isebedo kar pondo ne jochan, kar gengʼruok ne jodhier manie lit, kar bwok ka ahiti kudho, kendo kar tipo ka chiengʼ kech. Nimar muya mar janjore chalo mana ka ahiti makudho kochomo ohinga,

Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,

5 kendo mana ka liet manie piny motimo ongoro. Isetieko koko mar jopinje mamoko mana kaka tipo mar bor polo gengʼo liet, e kaka wend jonjore osechung.

and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.

6 Ewi godni Jehova Nyasaye Maratego biro loso nyasi mar chiemo mamiyo ne oganda duto, sawo mar divai mosekan, kod chiemo mabeyo gi divai molos maber.

Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.

7 Ewi godni obiro walo law moumo wangʼ ji duto, law mogengʼo ogendini duto;

[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.

8 kendo enotiek tho chuth. Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro yweyo pi wangʼ ji duto; mi nogol ajara kuom joge e piny duto. Jehova Nyasaye ema osewacho.

He will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it!

9 E kindeno giniwach ni, “Adier ma en Nyasachwa; ne wageno kuome, kendo ne oresowa. Ma en Jehova Nyasaye, ne wageno kuome; wabeduru gi mor kendo gi ilo kuom warruokne.”

At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”

10 Lwet Jehova Nyasaye biro yweyo ewi godni, to Moab nonyon piny gi tiende, mana kaka inyono lum e dipo.

Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].

11 Giniyar badgi kuome, mana kaka ngʼama goyo abal yaro bedene ka kwangʼ. Nyasaye biro tieko sungagi kata obedo ni lwetgi riek e yor goyo abal.

Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.

12 Obiro muko piny kuondeu mochiel motegno motingʼore gi malo mi oketgi piny, enotergi e lowo ma gilokre buru.

The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
