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 them that go down to Egypt for help, And put their trust in horses, And confide in chariots, because they are many, And in horsemen, because their number is great, But look not to the Holy One of Israel, And resort not to Jehovah.
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, too, is wise; He will bring evil, and not take back his words; He will arise against the house of the evil-doers, And against the help of them that do iniquity.
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.
The Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, Then shall the helper fall, and the helped be overthrown; And they shall all perish 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 hath Jehovah said to me: As when the lion and the young lion growl over their prey, And a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, By their noise he is not terrified, Nor by their tumult disheartened; So shall Jehovah of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and her hill.
5 Mana kaka winy mafuyo malo, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nochiel Jerusalem; nogengʼe kendo norese, noume kendo nokonye.
As birds hover over their young, So shall Jehovah of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will defend and deliver, spare and save.
6 Dwoguru ire, yaye un jo-Israel mosengʼanyo mabor kode.
Turn, O ye children of Israel, To him from whom ye have so deeply revolted! For in that day shall every one cast away his idols of
7 Nimar e odiechiengno ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nowiti nyiseche mag fedha kod dhahabu, ma lwetu motimo richo oseloso.
silver and his idols of gold, Which your hands have made for sin.
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 shall fall by a sword not of man, Yea, a sword not of mortal shall devour him; He shall flee before the sword, And his young warriors shall be slaves.
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.
Through fear shall he pass beyond his stronghold, And his princes shall be afraid of the standard. Thus saith Jehovah, who hath his fire in Zion, And his furnace in Jerusalem.
