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 to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek YHWH.
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.
Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against those who help evildoers.
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 spirit. When YHWH stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
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 says YHWH to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so YHWH of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 Mana kaka winy mafuyo malo, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nochiel Jerusalem; nogengʼe kendo norese, noume kendo nokonye.
As birds hovering, so YHWH of hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it."
6 Dwoguru ire, yaye un jo-Israel mosengʼanyo mabor kode.
Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
7 Nimar e odiechiengno ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nowiti nyiseche mag fedha kod dhahabu, ma lwetu motimo richo oseloso.
For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
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.
"The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
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.
His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his officers will be afraid of the banner," says YHWH, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
