Isaya 30

1 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ubiro neno malit, un nyithindo ma wigi tek, un jogo mosieko gi riekni ma ok maga, ka uloso riwruok ka ok owuok e dwond Roho mara, kendo ka ubiwo richo ewi richo;

WOE to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:

2 uringo kudhi Misri ka ok upenja, umanyo kony kuom Farao mondo oresu, kendo ugengʼoru e tipo mar Misri kaka karu mar pondo.

That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

3 To gengʼruok mawuok kuom Farao nobednu wichkuot, kendo tipo mar Misri nokelnu masira.

Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.

4 Kata obedo ni gin gi jotelo Zoan kendo jootene osechopo Hanes,

For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

5 to ji duto noyud wichkuot kuom jogo ma ok nyal konyogi, jogo ma ok nyal konyogi kata kelonegi ber to mana wichkuot kod achaya.”

They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.

6 Ma e wach mane okor kuom le mag Negev: Kokadho e piny mar chandruok kod masira, motingʼo sibuoche machwo to gi mamon bende kama thuonde mag bungu kod thuonde maringo piyo odakie, jootegi tingʼo mwandugi e ngʼe punde kendo girkeni mag-gi otingʼ e kuom ngamia, kiterone oganda maonge ohala,

The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.

7 ma en Misri, ma kony mare onge tiende. Kuom mano iluonge ni Rahab maonge nyalo.

For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

8 Dhiyo sani kendo indiknegi wach e kidi mopa, Ndike e kitabu, mondo omi obed janeno, manyaka chiengʼ e ndalo mabiro.

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:

9 Magi gin oganda mongʼanyo nyithindo ma jo-miriambo, ma ok oikore winjo puonj Jehova Nyasaye.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:

10 Giwachone jokor wach ni, “Kik une fweny moro amora kendo!” To ne jonabi, “Kik uchak unyiswa fweny moro amora makare!” Kornwauru mana weche mamorowa mag wuondruok.

Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

11 Weuru yorni, wuoguru e ndarani kendo we bwogowa gi Jal Maler mar Israel.

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

12 Kuom mano, ma e wach ma Jal Maler mar Israel wacho: “Nikech isedagi winjo oteni, mi iserwako chuny mar sando ji kendo iseyiengori e timbe mag miganga,

Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:

13 richoni nobini kaka ohinga mabor mobarore, matetni kendo ruombore piny matek dichiel.

Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

14 Obiro ngʼinjore matindo tindo mana ka agulu molwar piny motore, ma ok nyal yud kata dire moro kodongʼ minyalo kwanygo mach e dwol kata pate mitwomogo pi.”

And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.

15 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, Jal Maler mar Israel wacho: “Warruok gi kwe nowuog kuom hulo richo, tekou nowuog kuom horuok kod genou kuoma, to kata onge gima usetimo kuom gigi duto.

For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.

16 Kata kamano uwacho ni, ‘Ooyo, wabiro idho farese mondo waringi.’ To mano ber ubiro ringo! Bende nuwacho ni, ‘Wabiro idho faresewa mi waringi.’ Kuom mano joma lawou nobed jongʼwech molony.

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

17 Jou alufu achiel noringi ka ngʼato achiel obwogogi; bende jou noring duto ka ji abich obwogogi, mi unudongʼ kar kendu, mana ka yiend bandera mochwo ewi got malo kata ka law bandera mafwadhore ewi got.”

One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.

18 Kata kamano pod odwaro nyiso ngʼwono mare kuome; obiro mondo onyisu kech mare. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma ja-adiera. Jogo duto mogeno kuome ogwedhi.

And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.

19 Yaye un oganda mag Sayun, modak Jerusalem, ok unuchak uywag kendo. Mano kaka notimnu ngʼwono e kinde ma unuywagne mondo okonyu! E sa moro amora mowinjo ywaku, to nokonyu.

For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.

20 Kata Jehova Nyasaye miyou chiemo mar chandruok kod pi mar masira, to jopuonju ok nochak opondnu kendo, to ununegi gi wengeu uwegi.

And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

21 Kata ka ubaro korachwich kata koracham, itu to nowinj dwol mawuok ka ngʼeu, kawacho niya, “Ma e yo; luweuru.”

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

22 Bangʼe unudwany nyisecheu manono mubawo gi fedha kod dhahabu; kendo unuwitgi ka ukwano gi ka gik ma ok ler, mi uwitgi ka nanga moywego remb nyodo, kuwachonegi niya, “Aiuru ira.”

Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.

23 Bende noornu koth kuom kodhi muchwowo e lowo kendo chiemo mawuok e piny nobed mamiyo kendo mangʼeny. E kindeno jambu nokwa e lege madongo.

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

24 Rwethu kod pundeu mapuro lowo nocham lumb ogada kod chiembgi moregi, mi keyo gi uma kod opawo.

The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.

25 E odiechiengʼ maduongʼ mar yengʼo, ka kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo opodho, oula mag pige nomol ewi gode duto kod pidhe duto motingʼore malo.

And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

26 Dwe norieny ka wangʼ chiengʼ, kendo ler mar chiengʼ nobed maler moloyo kaka orieny pile nyadibiriyo, machal mana gi ler mar chiengʼ mar ndalo abiriyo, e kindeno ma Jehova Nyasaye nowir kuonde duto moriemo mag joge kendo nochang adhondegi.

Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

27 Ne, Nying Jehova Nyasaye aa kuma bor, ka en-gi mirima mager machalo gi iro mopongʼo bor polo; dhoge opongʼ gi mirima mangʼeny, kendo lewe en mach mawengʼo.

Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

28 Muche chalo gi oula mopongʼ, mopongʼ nyaka dwonde. Oyiengo ogendini gi rapiedhi mar kethruok; kendo oywayo ji gi chuma mamiyo girwenyo.

And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

29 Kendo unuwer wende machalo gi wende mag nyasi mag sawo maler miwero gotieno; chunyu nobed gi mor mana ka ji mabedo gi mor ka goyo asili kadhi e got Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Lwanda mar Israel.

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.

30 Jehova Nyasaye nomi oganda winj dwonde mar duongʼ kendo enomi gine lwete kabiro piny, gi mirima mager kod mach mawengʼo, bende gi rumbi motwere gi polo mariadore kod pe.

And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31 Dwond Jehova Nyasaye biro mako dho jo-Asuria; to gi odungane obiro negogi.

For through the voice of the Lord shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

32 Chwat ka chwat ma Jehova Nyasaye nochwadgigo gi ludhe mar kum kokedo kodgi malit, nomi jo-Nyasaye bed mamor ka gigoyo oyieke kod nyatiti.

And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33 Tofeth noseiki nyaka aa chon; noseik ne ruoth. Kare mar kendo osekuny matut kendo malach, kodhurie yiende mangʼeny gi mach maduongʼ; kendo much Jehova Nyasaye, machalo mach makakni ema moke.

For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
