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, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go round.
2 To kata kamano abiro monjo Ariel mi enobedi gi ywagruok kod kuyo, kendo enochalna mana ka kendo mar misango.
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel.
3 Abiro lwori koni gi koni, mi anagoni agengʼa kendo namonji gi tekona.
And I encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege against thee — a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks.
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 thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest,
5 To jowasiki mangʼeny nochal gi buru mayom, kendo oganda mager nochal gi mihudhwe ma yamo tero. Apoya nono, ka diemo wangʼ,
And as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been 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.
By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And 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 as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her.
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.
And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring 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.
Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink.
10 Jehova Nyasaye osekelo nindo matut kuomu, oseumo wengeu (un jonabi); kendo oseumo wiyeu (un jokor wach).
For poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep, And He closeth your eyes — the prophets, And your heads — the seers — 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 the whole is to you, As words of the sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I am not able, 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 given to him who hath not known books, Saying, 'Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, 'I have not known books.'
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.
And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is — A precept of men is taught!
14 Kuom mano anachak abwog chuny jogi gi masira bangʼ masira, mi rieko mar jorieko nolal kendo ngʼeyo mar joma ongʼeyo norum.
Therefore, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hideth itself.'
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 [to] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, 'Who is seeing us? And who is knowing 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?”
Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, 'He hath not made me?' And the framed thing said of its framer, 'He did not understand?'
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, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned?
18 E kindeno joma itgi odino nowinj weche manie kitabu, mi joma osebedo kokuyo, kendo manie mudho mandiwa wengegi nonen.
And heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do see.
19 Joma obolore nochak obed gi mor kuom Jehova Nyasaye; kendo joma ochando, bende nobed gi mor kuom Jal Maler mar Israel.
And the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice.
20 Joma timbegi mono nolal nono, jo-jar ji bende nolal nono, kendo jogo duto ma timbegi mono notieki;
For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity,
21 gin jogo machiwo neno mar miriambo mondo omi ngʼato onere ni jaketho, kendo mawuondo jangʼad bura mi omi ngʼat maonge ketho tamie adierane.
Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous.
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 said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: 'Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become 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.
For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful.
24 Joma parogi bayo noyud rieko; kendo joma kwedo wach bende nopuonji.
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!'
