Isaya 28
1 Mano kaka unune malit un osimbo mar jomer man Efraim, maber mare malich biro rumo ka maua maner, mopidhi ei holo momiyo mana kaka josunga malwokore gi kongʼo!
Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower the glory of his joy, who were on the head of the fat valley, staggering with wine.
2 Ne, Ruoth Nyasaye nigi ngʼato man kod loch gi teko. Mana kaka pe kod yamo maketho piny, e kaka obiro kelo koth machwe mabubni giteko matiek gik moko duto manie lowo.
Behold the Lord is mighty and strong, as a storm of hail: a destroying whirlwind, as the violence of many waters overflowing, and sent forth upon a spacious land.
3 Osimbo ma jomer man Efraim sungorego ibiro nyono gi tielo.
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under feet.
4 Berne malich norum mana ka maua maner, mopidhi ei holo momiyo, mi nochal ka olemb ngʼowu mokwongo chiek, ngʼato angʼata monene pone, kendo chame ka rikni morum chuth.
And the fading flower the glory of his joy, who is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as a hasty fruit before the ripeness of autumn: which when he that seeth it shall behold, as soon as he taketh it in his hand, he will eat it up.
5 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobedi kaka osimbo mar duongʼ maber ne joge manok modongʼ.
In that day the Lord of hosts shall be a crown of glory, and a garland of joy to the residue of his people:
6 Enobed e chuny jangʼad bura mowinjore kendo enojiw jolwenjeu makedo, e dhorangeyeu obed gichir kendo olochi.
And a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that return out of the battle to the gate.
7 To jogi bende kwangʼ nikech divai kendo gibayo nikech kongʼo: Jodolo kod jonabi mer makwangʼ nikech kongʼo kendo gitagore nikech divai, githembo ka gineno fweny, gichwanyore ka gingʼado bura.
But these also have been ignorant through wine, and through drunkenness have erred: the priest and the prophet have been ignorant through drunkenness, they are swallowed up with wine, they have gone astray in drunkenness, they have not known him that seeth, they have been ignorant of judgment.
8 Mesa duto opongʼ gi ngʼok, onge kamoro amora ma ok dungʼ tik marach.
For all tables were full of vomit and filth, so that there was no more place.
9 “En ngʼa motemo puonjo? To koso en ngʼa ma otemo yarone tiend wachne? Ne nyithindo mogolie chak, koso ne joma koro eka ogolie thuno?
Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand the hearing? them that are weaned from the milk, that are drawn away from the breasts.
10 Onyisowa weche mak winjre ka mag jomomer ni: Tim ma, tim macha kendo tim ma, tim macha.”
For command, command again; command, command again; expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there.
11 To kata kamano Nyasaye biro wuoyo gi jogi gi dho welo kod dhok mayoreyore.
For with the speech of lips, and with another tongue he will speak to this people.
12 Mowachone niya, “Ma en kar yweyo, joma ool mondo oywe.” Kendo niya, “Ma en kar kwe,” to ne ok ginyal winjo.
To whom he said: This is my rest, refresh the weary, and this is my refreshing: and they would not hear.
13 Kuom mano, wach Jehova Nyasaye biro chalonegi mana ka wach awacha mar joma omer niya: Tim ma, tim macha, kendo tim ma, tim macha, matin ka, matin kacha, mamiyo gikwangʼ koni gi koni mi gipodhi kendo gihinyre ma makgi e obadho.
And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Kuom mano winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un joma jaro ji ma, jotend ogandani modak Jerusalem.
Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.
15 Usungoru niya, “Wasetimo singruok gi tho wasedonjo e winjruok gi liete omiyo, ka masira miwachono nolandre e piny to ok nomulwa, nimar waseketo miriambo ragengʼ-wa, kendo wuondruok ka kar pondo.” (Sheol h7585)
For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho, “Ne, aketo kidi e Sayun, ma en kidi moyier, en kidi motegno, ma nengone tek, moriwo kor ot kendo man-gi mise mongirore; ma ngʼat moyie kuome ok nobam.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will lay a stone in the foundations of Sion, a tried stone, a corner stone, a precious stone, founded in the foundation. He that believeth, let him not hasten.
17 Abiro miyo adiera bedo tol mipimogo kendo tim makare kaka rapim mirieyogo ot; to kodh pe biro yweyo karu mar pondo, un jo-miriambo kendo pi biro pongʼo kuondeu mag tony.
And I will set judgment in weight, and justice in measure: and hail shall overturn the hope of falsehood: and waters shall overflow its protection.
18 Singruok maru gi tho nobed maonge; kendo winjruok mane utimo gi liete ok nobedi. Ka masira nomwomre, to mano ema nochwadu piny. (Sheol h7585)
And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 E kinde duto ma masira nobi enotieku; noyweu okinyi ka okinyi kendo odiechiengʼ gotieno.” Ka wachni nodonjne ji, to ginibed gi bwok maduongʼ.
Whensoever it shall pass through, it shall take you away: because in the morning early it shall pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone shall make you understand what you hear.
20 Kitanda nobed machiek ma ok nyal rieye tielo tir, kendo onget nobed matin ma ok nyal umo ngʼato maber.
For the bed is straitened, so that one must fall out, and a short covering cannot cover both.
21 To Jehova Nyasaye biro aa malo mana kaka notimo e Got Perazim, mirimbe nowuogi kaka ne otimore e Holo mar Gibeon, mondo oti tichne, tichne mayoreyore ma ji kia kendo timne mar wich teko.
For the Lord shall stand up as in the mountain of divisions: he shall be angry as in the valley which is in Gabaon: that he may do his work, his strange work: that he may perform his work, his work is strange to him.
22 Koro weuru ajara mondo kik tol motweugo ridre, nimar Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osenyisa wach mar kethruok mabiro kwako piny duto.
And now do not mock, lest your bonds be tied strait. For I have heard of the Lord the God of hosts a consumption and a cutting short upon all the earth.
23 Chik iti kendo iwinj dwonda, keturu chunyu mondo uwinj weche mawacho.
Give ear, and hear my voice, hearken, and hear my speech.
24 Ka japur puro puodho mondo okom to bende osiko ka opuro apura? Koso bende osiko ka obuso abusa?
Shall the ploughman plough all the day to sow, shall he open and harrow his ground?
25 Kosetieko loso puothe donge ochwoyo kothe mopogore opogore kendo okiro kal? To donge opidho shairi kanyo kod ngano e bath puodho?
Will he not, when he hath made plain the surface thereof, sow gith, and scatter cummin, and put wheat in order, and barley, and millet, and vetches in their bounds?
26 Nyasache nyise yo monego oluw kendo puonje yo maber.
For he will instruct him in judgment: his God will teach him.
27 Cham moko ok din gi twor to bende kal ok wuothie wiye gi gari; moko to idino gi luth kendo kal itengʼo gi kede.
For gith shall not be thrashed with saws, neither shall the cart wheel turn about upon cummin: but gith shall be beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a staff.
28 Ngano nyaka regi mondo olos makati; omiyo ok dine amingʼa. Kata obedo ni oywayo gache mar dino kuome, to faresene ok rege.
But bread corn shall be broken small: but the thrasher shall not thrash it for ever, neither shall the cart wheel hurt it, nor break it with its teeth.
29 Magi duto bende oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma jangʼad rieko mowinjore, kendo ma parone ber ahinya.
This also is come forth from the Lord God of hosts, to make his counsel wonderful, and magnify justice.
