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, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
2 thuondi maroteke kod jolweny, gi jongʼad bura gi jonabi gi jokor wach kod jodongo,
Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and elder,
3 jatend lweny morito ji piero abich gi joma ogen, jongʼad rieko, jopecho molony kod joma olony e wach.
Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers.
4 Anaket mana yawuowi obed jotendgi, to rawere matindo noritgi.
And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings 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.
And the people hath exacted — man upon man, Even a man on his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured.
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.”
When one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his father, [by] the garment, 'Come, a ruler thou art to us, And this ruin [is] under thy hand.'
7 To e kindeno ngʼatno nodwoki niya, “Ooyo ok dabed ruodhu, nimar aonge gi chiemo kata lewni e oda madimi uketa abed jatend ogandani.”
He lifteth up, in that day, saying: 'I am not a binder up, And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me a 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 stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings [are] against Jehovah, 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 appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Woe to their soul, For they have done to themselves evil.
10 Kone joma kare ni gin johawi, nimar giniyud pok kuom tichgi matek.
Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the fruit of their doings they eat.
11 Yaye, mano kaka nobed malit ne joricho nikech masira nobed kuomgi. Enokumgi kuom gik maricho ma lwetgi osetimo.
Woe to the wicked — evil, Because the deed of his hand is done to him.
12 Jomatindo ema thiro joga kendo mon ema jotendgi. Yaye joga, jotendu osewuondou, momiyo ubaro uweyo yo.
My people — its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have ruled over it. My people — thy eulogists are causing to err, And the way of thy paths swallowed up.
13 Jehova Nyasaye osebedo e kom bura mondo ongʼad bura ne oganda.
Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge the peoples.
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.
Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people, and its heads: 'And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder 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 — to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, And Jehovah saith:
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.
'Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes, Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a tinkling,
17 Kuom mano Ruoth Nyasaye biro kelo adhonde ewi mond Sayun, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomi timbegi mamono nenre ratiro.”
The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth.
18 Odiechiengʼno Ruoth Nyasaye biro mayogi gik ma gilichorego kaka: bangli gi kitembini mag wich kod tigo mag ngʼut,
In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the round tires like moons,
19 gi tigo miliero e it gi bangli mag lwetgi kod kitamba miliero e ngʼut,
Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20 gi kitembini mag wich, gi thiwni mag ofunj tielo, gi misip gi chupni motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar kod ris,
Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets,
21 gi tere mag lwedo gi mag um,
Of the seals, and of the nose-rings,
22 lewni mayom gi kode gi mifuke mag lwedo,
Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the coverings, and of the purses,
23 kod kio, gi lewni mabeyo gi lewni miliero e ngʼut kod mago miumogo wangʼ.
Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the hoods, and of the vails,
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.
And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth.
25 Chwou notiek gi ligangla kendo jolweny magu norum e lweny.
For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy might in battle.
26 Nduru gi ywak mag dengo nopongʼ dhorongeye mag Sayun, kendo dalano nodongʼ nono kokethore.
And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath been emptied, on the earth she sitteth!
