< Isaya 3 >

1 Neuru koro Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, biro tieko mich kod kony mikelo ne Jerusalem kod Juda. Notiek kit chiemo duto kod pi
For look, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
2 thuondi maroteke kod jolweny, gi jongʼad bura gi jonabi gi jokor wach kod jodongo,
the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
3 jatend lweny morito ji piero abich gi joma ogen, jongʼad rieko, jopecho molony kod joma olony e wach.
the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
4 Anaket mana yawuowi obed jotendgi, to rawere matindo noritgi.
And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
5 Ji nosandre kendgi giwegi, ka ngʼato sando mana wadgi owuon bende jogo modak mokiewo nosandre kendgi giwegi. Jomatindo notug lweny gi jomadongo, kendo ji ajiya nocha joma ogen.
The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
6 Ngʼato nochun achiel kuom owetene manie dala wuon-gi kowacho niya, “In ema in-gi lep loch, koro telnwa; kendo ibed gi teko ewi pinywa mokethoreni.”
Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
7 To e kindeno ngʼatno nodwoki niya, “Ooyo ok dabed ruodhu, nimar aonge gi chiemo kata lewni e oda madimi uketa abed jatend ogandani.”
In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
8 Jerusalem yiengni, bende Juda mukore; wechegi kod timbegi opogore gi dwach Jehova Nyasaye, nimar ok omi duongʼne nenre e diergi.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
9 Wangʼ-gi nyiso ni gin joricho kendo richogi oyangore e lela mana ka richo mane ni Sodom, bende gionge gi wichkuot. Yaye, mano kaka ginine malit nikech gisekelo masira kuomgi giwegi.
The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
10 Kone joma kare ni gin johawi, nimar giniyud pok kuom tichgi matek.
Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
11 Yaye, mano kaka nobed malit ne joricho nikech masira nobed kuomgi. Enokumgi kuom gik maricho ma lwetgi osetimo.
Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
12 Jomatindo ema thiro joga kendo mon ema jotendgi. Yaye joga, jotendu osewuondou, momiyo ubaro uweyo yo.
As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
13 Jehova Nyasaye osebedo e kom bura mondo ongʼad bura ne oganda.
The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
14 Sa ngʼado bura mar Jehova Nyasaye kuom jodongo kod jotend joge osechopo, kowacho niya, “Un ema useketho puotha mar mzabibu kendo gik ma uyako kukawo e ut joma odhier opongʼo uteu.
The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
15 En angʼo momiyo usando kendo uthiro joga modhier?” Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.
What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the LORD of hosts.
16 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mond Sayun sungore kendo kawore, gingʼayo ngʼutgi malo, kendo giningʼo wengegi. Bende giwuotho ka gingʼadore, ka gara manie tiendgi ywak.
Moreover the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
17 Kuom mano Ruoth Nyasaye biro kelo adhonde ewi mond Sayun, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomi timbegi mamono nenre ratiro.”
therefore the LORD brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald."
18 Odiechiengʼno Ruoth Nyasaye biro mayogi gik ma gilichorego kaka: bangli gi kitembini mag wich kod tigo mag ngʼut,
In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
19 gi tigo miliero e it gi bangli mag lwetgi kod kitamba miliero e ngʼut,
the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
20 gi kitembini mag wich, gi thiwni mag ofunj tielo, gi misip gi chupni motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar kod ris,
the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
21 gi tere mag lwedo gi mag um,
the signet rings, the nose rings,
22 lewni mayom gi kode gi mifuke mag lwedo,
the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
23 kod kio, gi lewni mabeyo gi lewni miliero e ngʼut kod mago miumogo wangʼ.
the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
24 Kar winjo tik mangʼwe ngʼar to unuwinj mana tik madungʼ marach; kar bedo gi okanda to tol ema nutwerugo; kar bedo gi yie wich molos maber to bondo ema unudongʼ-go; kar bedo gi lewni mabeyo to unurwak mana pien gugru, kar bedo gi wangʼ man-gi chia to adhonde nopongʼ dendu.
It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Chwou notiek gi ligangla kendo jolweny magu norum e lweny.
Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
26 Nduru gi ywak mag dengo nopongʼ dhorongeye mag Sayun, kendo dalano nodongʼ nono kokethore.
Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
