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 shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation doth he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Yaw dhorangeye mondo oganda makare odonji, oganda morito yie.
Open ye the gates, and the righteous nation which keepeth faithfulness shall enter in.
3 Inirit gi kwe ngʼatno ma parone oriere tir, nikech ogeno kuomi.
Thou wilt keep in perfect peace the mind stayed [on thee], for he confideth in thee.
4 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Jehova Nyasaye ma Lwanda nyaka chiengʼ.
Confide ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jah, Jehovah, is the rock of ages.
5 Odwoko piny joma otingʼore malo, odwoko dala maduongʼ mar ngʼayi piny, mi otoye matindo tindo ma olokre buru.
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low, he layeth it low to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 Tiende joma ithiro kod mag joma odhier nyone piny.
The foot shall tread it down, — the feet of the afflicted, the steps of the poor.
7 Yor joma kare opie, yaye in Jal makare, iloso yor joma kare bedo maber.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, the Upright, dost make the path of the just even.
8 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wuotho e yore mag chikeni ema warito, nyingi kod duongʼ mari ema chunywa dwaro.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul is to thy name, and to thy memorial.
9 Chunya gombi gotieno kendo chunya dwari gokinyi. Ka buchi makare biro e piny, ogendini mag piny puonjore yo makare.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
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.
If favour be shewn to the wicked, he doth not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he dealeth unjustly, and beholdeth not the majesty of Jehovah.
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.
Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, but they do not see: [yet] they shall see [thy] jealousy [for] the people, and be ashamed; yea, the fire which is for thine adversaries shall devour them.
12 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiyowa kwe; kendo gik moko duto ma wasetimo in ema isetimonwa.
Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou also hast wrought all our works for us.
13 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ruodhi mamoko ma ok in osetiyowa, makmana nyingi kende ema wamiyo luor.
Jehovah our God, other lords than thee have had dominion over us; by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 To koro jogo osetho kendo koro gionge; chunje moseago ok nochier. Ne ikumogi mi itiekogi maonge ngʼama parogi.
[They are] dead, they shall not live; deceased, they shall not rise: for thou hast visited and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.
15 Isemedo ogandawa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isemedo ogandawa. Iseyudo duongʼ mana ne in iwuon; kendo isemedo tongʼ duto mar pinywa.
Thou hast increased the nation, Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified. Thou hadst removed [it] far [unto] all the ends of the earth.
16 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, negimanyi e kinde mane ginie chandruok; kendo kane ikumogi ne gionge gi teko mar lemo.
Jehovah, in trouble they sought thee; they poured out [their] whispered prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Mana kaka dhako man-gi ich machiegni nywol muoch kayo kendo ywak kawinjo rem mano, bende e kaka wanie nyimi yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
As a woman with child, that draweth near her delivery, is in travail, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, Jehovah.
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 been with child, we have been in travail, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought the deliverance of the land, neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
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.
Thy dead shall live, my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing in triumph, ye that dwell in dust; for thy dew is the dew of the morning, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 Dhiuru, un joga, donjuru e uteu kendo loruru dhoutu, ponduru kuom ndalo matin nyaka ndalo mar mirimbe kal.
Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself just for a little moment, until the indignation be past.
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, Jehovah cometh out of his place to visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth upon them; and the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
