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] apostate sons, A declaration of YHWH! To do counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not of My Spirit, So as to 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.

Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And have not asked My mouth, To be strong 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.

And the strength of Pharaoh Has been to you for shame, And the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion,

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

For his princes were in Zoan, And his messengers reach 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.”

He made all ashamed of a people that do not profit, Not for help, and not for profit, But for shame, and also for 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 a land of adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, From where [are] viper and flying, burning serpent, They carry their wealth on the shoulder of donkeys, And their treasures on the hump of camels, To a people not profitable.

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

Indeed, Egyptians [are] vanity, and help in vain, Therefore I have 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.

No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And inscribe it on a scroll, And it is for a latter day, for a witness for all time,

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

That this [is] a people of rebellion, sons—liars, Sons not willing to hear the Law of YHWH.

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.

Who have said to seers, “Do not see,” And to prophets, “Do not prophesy to us straightforward things, Speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits,

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

Turn aside from the way, Decline from 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,

Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel: “Because of your kicking against this word, And you trust in oppression, And perverseness, and rely on it,

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

Therefore this iniquity is to you as a breach falling, Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction comes suddenly, in 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 has broken it As the breaking of the potters’ bottle, Beaten down—He does not spare, Nor is there found, in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning, And to draw out waters from a ditch.”

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 said Lord YHWH, The Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you are saved, In keeping quiet and in confidence is your might,” And you have not been willing.

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.

And you say, “No, for we flee on a horse,” Therefore you flee, And, “We ride on the swift!” Therefore your pursuers are 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 [flee] because of the rebuke of one, Because of the rebuke of five you flee, Until you have surely been left as a pole On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height.

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 YHWH waits to favor you, And therefore He is exalted to pity you, For YHWH [is] a God of judgment, O the blessedness of all waiting 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 in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Do not weep—weeping, Pitying, He pities you at the voice of your cry, When He hears He answers you.

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

And the Lord has given to you bread of adversity, And water of oppression. And your teachers remove no longer, And your eyes have seen your teachers,

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

And your ear hears a word behind you, saying, “This [is] the way, go in it,” When you turn to the right, And when you 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.”

And you have defiled the covering of Your carved images of silver, And the ephod of your molten image of gold, You scatter them as a sickening thing, “Go out,” you say to it.

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.

And He has given rain [for] your seed, With which you sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And it has been fat and plentiful, Your livestock enjoy an enlarged pasture in that day.

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

And the oxen and the young donkeys serving the ground, Eat fermented provender, That one is winnowing with shovel and 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 has been on every high mountain, And on every exalted hill, Streams—conduits of waters, In a day of much slaughter, in the falling of towers.

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.

And the light of the moon has been as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of seven days, In the day of YHWH’s binding up the breach of His people, When He heals the stroke of its 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 YHWH is coming from far, His anger is burning, and the flame [is] great, His lips have been full of indignation, And His tongue [is] 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 [is] as an overflowing stream, It divides to the neck, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples.

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.

Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival, And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go to the mountain of YHWH, To the rock 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 YHWH has caused The splendor of His voice to be heard, And the coming down of His arm He shows with the raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering, and inundation, and hailstone.

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

For from the voice of YHWH Asshur [is] broken down, He strikes 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 every passage of the settled staff, That YHWH causes to rest on him, Has been with tambourines and with harps, And in battles of shaking He has fought 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 arranged from former time, Even it is prepared for the king, He has made deep, He has made large, Its pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of YHWH, As a stream of brimstone, is burning in it!
