Isaya 31

1 Mano kaka unune malit, jogo madhi dwaro kony Misri, moketo genogi kuom farese, kendo moketo genogi kuom geche mag lweny mangʼeny magiywayo, kendo kuom teko maduongʼ ma joidh faresegi nigo, to ok uketo genou kuom Jal Maler mar Israel, kata dwaro kony kuom Jehova Nyasaye.

Woe vnto them that goe downe into Egypt for helpe, and stay vpon horses, and trust in charets, because they are many, and in horsemen, because they be very strong: but they looke not vnto the holy one of Israel, nor seeke vnto the Lord.

2 Kata kamano en bende en gi rieko kendo onyalo kelo chandruok; bende ok olok pache e gima osewacho. Obiro kumo joma timbegi mono, kaachiel gi joricho makonyogi.

But he yet is wisest: therefore he wil bring euill, and not turne backe his worde, but he will arise against the house of the wicked, and against the helpe of them that worke vanitie.

3 To jo-Misri gin mana dhano ma ok Nyasaye; bende faresegi gin mana ringʼo ma ok roho. Ka Jehova Nyasaye norie bade mar kum, jogo machiwo kony nochwanyre, kendo jogo mikonyo nopodh piny; giduto ginilal nono.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirite: and when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, the helper shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall, and they shall altogether faile.

4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachona: Mana kaka sibuor ngʼur konyono chiayo mosemako piny, kendo kata obedo ni jokwath duto oyworo ka goyo koko, to ok odew bende ok oluor, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, biro biro mondo oked ewi got Sayun.

For thus hath the Lord spoken vnto me, As the lyon or lyons whelpe roareth vpon his praye, against whom if a multitude of shepheards be called, hee will not be afraide at their voyce, neither will humble him selfe at their noise: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

5 Mana kaka winy mafuyo malo, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nochiel Jerusalem; nogengʼe kendo norese, noume kendo nokonye.

As birds that flie, so shall the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem by defending and deliuering, by passing through and preseruing it.

6 Dwoguru ire, yaye un jo-Israel mosengʼanyo mabor kode.

O ye children of Israel, turne againe, in as much as ye are sunken deepe in rebellion.

7 Nimar e odiechiengno ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nowiti nyiseche mag fedha kod dhahabu, ma lwetu motimo richo oseloso.

For in that day euery man shall cast out his idoles of siluer, and his idoles of golde, which your handes haue made you, euen a sinne.

8 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jo-Asuria ibiro tieki gi ligangla ma ok oa e lwet dhano; nimar ligangla ma ok oa e lwedo biro tiekogi. Giniring lweny nikech ligangla, mi yawuotgi ma jolweny nolokgi wasumbini maketgi e tij achuna.

Then shall Asshur fall by the sworde, not of man, neither shall the sworde of man deuoure him, and hee shall flee from the sworde, and his yong men shall faint.

9 Kuondegi mochiel motegno nopodhi mi gidhier nono, kendo jotendgi mag lweny, kibaji nogo ma ok ginyal ringo,” Jehova Nyasaye wacho, en ma maye liel koa Sayun, kendo maye mangʼangʼni ni Jerusalem.

And he shall go for feare to his towre, and his princes shall be afraide of the standart, sayeth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
