Isaya 26
1 E ndalono wendni nower e piny Juda ni: Wan gi dala maduongʼ man-gi teko; Nyasaye kelo resruok e ohingane gi kuonde molwore.
In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
2 Yaw dhorangeye mondo oganda makare odonji, oganda morito yie.
Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
3 Inirit gi kwe ngʼatno ma parone oriere tir, nikech ogeno kuomi.
supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
4 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Jehova Nyasaye ma Lwanda nyaka chiengʼ.
they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
5 Odwoko piny joma otingʼore malo, odwoko dala maduongʼ mar ngʼayi piny, mi otoye matindo tindo ma olokre buru.
who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
6 Tiende joma ithiro kod mag joma odhier nyone piny.
And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
7 Yor joma kare opie, yaye in Jal makare, iloso yor joma kare bedo maber.
The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
8 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wuotho e yore mag chikeni ema warito, nyingi kod duongʼ mari ema chunywa dwaro.
For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
9 Chunya gombi gotieno kendo chunya dwari gokinyi. Ka buchi makare biro e piny, ogendini mag piny puonjore yo makare.
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
10 Kata obedo ni ngʼwono itimone joricho, to ok gipuonjore tim makare; kata mana e piny joma kare gidhi nyime mana ka gitimo richo, ka ok gichiwo luor ne duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye.
For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
11 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isetingʼo badi malo, to ok gine. We mondo gine geno ma in-go, kuom jogi mi giyud wichkuot, kendo mad mach mokan ne wasiki wangʼ-gi duto.
O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
12 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiyowa kwe; kendo gik moko duto ma wasetimo in ema isetimonwa.
O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
13 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ruodhi mamoko ma ok in osetiyowa, makmana nyingi kende ema wamiyo luor.
O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
14 To koro jogo osetho kendo koro gionge; chunje moseago ok nochier. Ne ikumogi mi itiekogi maonge ngʼama parogi.
But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
15 Isemedo ogandawa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isemedo ogandawa. Iseyudo duongʼ mana ne in iwuon; kendo isemedo tongʼ duto mar pinywa.
bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
16 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, negimanyi e kinde mane ginie chandruok; kendo kane ikumogi ne gionge gi teko mar lemo.
Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
17 Mana kaka dhako man-gi ich machiegni nywol muoch kayo kendo ywak kawinjo rem mano, bende e kaka wanie nyimi yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
18 Wasebedo gi ich, muoch osekayowa malit to ne wanywolo mana yamo. Ok wasekelo warruok e piny, bende pod ok wanywolo ji e piny.
We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
19 To jogi mosenindo kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nobed mangima, kendo ringregi nochier. In misiko e buru, chiew kendo igo koko gi mor. Thoo ma in-go chalo thoo mar okinyi, piny biro golo joma otho oko.
The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
20 Dhiuru, un joga, donjuru e uteu kendo loruru dhoutu, ponduru kuom ndalo matin nyaka ndalo mar mirimbe kal.
Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
21 To ne, Jehova Nyasaye biro kawuok kare mar dak mondo okum joma odak e piny kuom richogi. Piny noket ayanga remo mosechwer kuome, mi ok noum joge mosenegi.
For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
