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 crowne of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim: for his glorious beautie shall be a fading flowre, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fat, and are ouercome 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.
Beholde, the Lord hath a mightie and strong hoste, like a tempest of haile, and a whirlewinde that ouerthroweth, like a tempest of mightie waters that ouerflowe, which throwe to the ground mightily.
3 Osimbo ma jomer man Efraim sungorego ibiro nyono gi tielo.
They shall be troden vnder foote, euen the crowne and the pride of the drunkards of Ephraim.
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.
For his glorious beautie shall be a fading floure, which is vpon the head of the valley of them that be fatte, and as the hastie fruite afore sommer, which when hee that looketh vpon it, seeth it, while it is in his hand, he eateth it.
5 E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobedi kaka osimbo mar duongʼ maber ne joge manok modongʼ.
In that day shall the Lord of hostes be for a crowne of glory, and for a diademe of beautie vnto the residue of his people:
6 Enobed e chuny jangʼad bura mowinjore kendo enojiw jolwenjeu makedo, e dhorangeyeu obed gichir kendo olochi.
And for a spirite of iudgement to him that sitteth in iudgement, and for strength vnto them that turne away the battell 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 they haue erred because of wine, and are out of the way by strong drinke: the priest and the prophet haue erred by strong drinke: they are swallowed vp with wine: they haue gone astraye through strong drinke: they faile in vision: they stumble in iudgement.
8 Mesa duto opongʼ gi ngʼok, onge kamoro amora ma ok dungʼ tik marach.
For all their tables are full of filthy vomiting: no place is cleane.
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?
Whome shall he teache knowledge? and whome shall he make to vnderstand the thinges that hee heareth? them that are weyned from the milke, and drawen from the breastes.
10 Onyisowa weche mak winjre ka mag jomomer ni: Tim ma, tim macha kendo tim ma, tim macha.”
For precept must be vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle, and there a litle.
11 To kata kamano Nyasaye biro wuoyo gi jogi gi dho welo kod dhok mayoreyore.
For with a stammering tongue and with a strange language shall he speake vnto this people.
12 Mowachone niya, “Ma en kar yweyo, joma ool mondo oywe.” Kendo niya, “Ma en kar kwe,” to ne ok ginyal winjo.
Vnto whome hee saide, This is the rest: giue rest to him that is weary: and this is the refreshing, but they would not heare.
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.
Therefore shall the worde of the Lord be vnto them precept vpon precept, precept vpon precept, line vnto line, line vnto line, there a litle and there a litle, that they may goe, and fall backward, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
14 Kuom mano winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un joma jaro ji ma, jotend ogandani modak Jerusalem.
Wherefore, heare the worde of the Lord, ye scornefull men that rule this people, which is at Ierusalem.
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)
Because ye haue said, We haue made a couenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement: though a scourge runne ouer, and passe through, it shall not come at vs: for we haue made falshood our refuge, and vnder vanitie are we hid, (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 laye in Zion a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. Hee that beleeueth, shall not make haste.
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.
Iudgement also will I laye to the rule, and righteousnesse to the balance, and the haile shall sweepe away the vaine confidence, and the waters shall ouerflowe the secret place.
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 your couenant with death shalbe disanulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand: when a scourge shall runne ouer and passe through, then shall ye be trode downe 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.
When it passeth ouer, it shall take you away: for it shall passe through euery morning in the day, and in the night, and there shalbe onely feare to make you to vnderstand the hearing.
20 Kitanda nobed machiek ma ok nyal rieye tielo tir, kendo onget nobed matin ma ok nyal umo ngʼato maber.
For the bed is streight that it can not suffice, and the couering narowe that one can not wrappe himselfe.
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 as in mount Perazim: hee shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his worke, his strage worke, and bring to passe his acte, his strange acte.
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.
Nowe therefore be no mockers, least your bondes increase: for I haue heard of the Lord of hostes a consumption, euen determined vpon the whole earth.
23 Chik iti kendo iwinj dwonda, keturu chunyu mondo uwinj weche mawacho.
Hearken ye, and heare my voyce: hearken ye, and heare my speach.
24 Ka japur puro puodho mondo okom to bende osiko ka opuro apura? Koso bende osiko ka obuso abusa?
Doeth the plowe man plowe all the day, to sowe? doeth he open, and breake the clots of his ground?
25 Kosetieko loso puothe donge ochwoyo kothe mopogore opogore kendo okiro kal? To donge opidho shairi kanyo kod ngano e bath puodho?
When he hath made it plaine, wil he not then sowe the fitches, and sowe cummin, and cast in wheat by measure, and the appointed barly and rye in their place?
26 Nyasache nyise yo monego oluw kendo puonje yo maber.
For his God doeth instruct him to haue discretion, and doeth 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 fitches shall not be threshed with a threshing instrument, neither shall a cart wheele be turned about vpon the cummin: but ye fitches are beaten out with a staffe, and cummin with a rod.
28 Ngano nyaka regi mondo olos makati; omiyo ok dine amingʼa. Kata obedo ni oywayo gache mar dino kuome, to faresene ok rege.
Bread corne when it is threshed, hee doeth not alway thresh it, neither doeth the wheele of his cart still make a noyse, neither will he breake it with the teeth thereof.
29 Magi duto bende oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma jangʼad rieko mowinjore, kendo ma parone ber ahinya.
This also commeth from the Lord of hostes, which is wonderfull in counsell, and excellent in workes.
