Isaya 29
1 Ariel, Ariel, inine malit, in dala maduongʼ mane Daudi odakie! Meduru dhi nyime ka utimo sewni higa ka higa.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add all of you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 To kata kamano abiro monjo Ariel mi enobedi gi ywagruok kod kuyo, kendo enochalna mana ka kendo mar misango.
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3 Abiro lwori koni gi koni, mi anagoni agengʼa kendo namonji gi tekona.
And I will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 Nadwoki piny miwuo mana koa ei lowo; kendo wecheni nowuog mana koa ei buru. Dwondi nochal mana ka dwond jachien moa ei lowo; kendo koa ei lowo dwondi nowinji.
And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 To jowasiki mangʼeny nochal gi buru mayom, kendo oganda mager nochal gi mihudhwe ma yamo tero. Apoya nono, ka diemo wangʼ,
Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobi gi mor polo gi yiengni mar piny kod koko maduongʼ, gi ahiti kod kalausi kendo gi mach mager.
You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 Eka ogendini mag pinje duto makedo gi Ariel, mamonjo kuondege motegno kendo lwore, biro chalo mana ka lek kata ka fweny mar otieno,
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 mana ka ngʼama kech kayo to leko ni chiemo, to ka ochiewo to oyudo mana ka kech pod kaye, kendo mana kaka ngʼat ma riyo oloyo leko ni modho pi, to ka ochiewo to opodho mana piny ka riyo oloye. E kaka nobedi kuom ogendini mag pinje duto makedo gi Got Sayun.
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 Bed mobuok kendo kiwuoro, dinuru wengeu kendo kik unen, meruru amera to ok gi divai, kendo themburu athemba to ok gi kongʼo.
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry all of you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Jehova Nyasaye osekelo nindo matut kuomu, oseumo wengeu (un jonabi); kendo oseumo wiyeu (un jokor wach).
For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.
11 Un to fwenyruokni duto nochalnu mana ka gima nono, mana ka kitabu modin gi duogo. To ka imiyo ngʼato manyalo somo, miwachone niya, “Yie isom kitabuni,” to obiro dwoko niya, “Ok anyal some nikech odine gi duogo.”
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 Kata ka imiyo ngʼat makia somo miwachone niya, “Yie isomna kitabuni,” to obiro dwoko niya, “Ok angʼeyo somo.”
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Ruoth Nyasaye wacho niya: Jogi sudo ira mana gi weche manie dhogi kendo gipaka mana gi dhogi kende, to chunygi bor koda. Yo ma gilamago gin mana chike mipuonjo gi dhano.
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Kuom mano anachak abwog chuny jogi gi masira bangʼ masira, mi rieko mar jorieko nolal kendo ngʼeyo mar joma ongʼeyo norum.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Ginine malit jogo maparo timo gimoro amora mondo gipandgo timbegi ne Jehova Nyasaye, ma gin joma timo timbegi e mudho ka giparo niya, “Ere ngʼama nenowa? En ngʼa mabiro ngʼeyo?”
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Iloko gik moko ataro, mana ka gima jachwech bende chal gi lowo mochweyo! Bende gima ochwe nyalo wachone jachwechne niya, “Ne ok ichweya?” Koso agulu bende nyalo wachone jachwechne niya, “Onge gima ingʼeyo?”
Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Kuom ndalo matin kende, donge Lebanon nolok mana ka puodho momewo kendo puodho momewo nochal mana gi bungu?
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 E kindeno joma itgi odino nowinj weche manie kitabu, mi joma osebedo kokuyo, kendo manie mudho mandiwa wengegi nonen.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 Joma obolore nochak obed gi mor kuom Jehova Nyasaye; kendo joma ochando, bende nobed gi mor kuom Jal Maler mar Israel.
The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Joma timbegi mono nolal nono, jo-jar ji bende nolal nono, kendo jogo duto ma timbegi mono notieki;
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 gin jogo machiwo neno mar miriambo mondo omi ngʼato onere ni jaketho, kendo mawuondo jangʼad bura mi omi ngʼat maonge ketho tamie adierane.
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nothing.
22 Kuom mano ma e wach ma Jehova Nyasaye, mane oreso Ibrahim wachone od Jakobo ni, Jakobo ok none wichkuot kendo; bende ok ginichak ginenre mokuyo.
Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 Ka gineno nyithindgi ma tich lweta e kindgi, to gibiro rito nyinga obed maler, kendo gibiro yie kuom ler mar Jal Maler mar Jakobo, kendo gichungʼ e nyim Nyasach Israel gi luor maduongʼ.
But when he sees his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 Joma parogi bayo noyud rieko; kendo joma kwedo wach bende nopuonji.
They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
