Isaya 32

1 Winjuru, Ruoth nobed gi loch makare kendo jotelo nobed gi telo mar adier.

For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgement.

2 Ngʼato ka ngʼato nobed kar gengʼruok ne kalausi mana ka aore mamol e piny ongoro, kendo mana ka tipo mar Lwanda maduongʼ e piny motwo.

And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.

3 Eka wenge joma neno ok nochak ogengʼ, kendo joma ochiko itgi nowinj wach.

And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.

4 Chuny ngʼat mamuomore nowinj wach gi tiende kendo ngʼat ma radwal nowuo maber kendo maliw.

And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.

5 Ok nochak oluong ngʼat mofuwo ni ngʼat malongʼo, kata ngʼat ma ja-miganga ni ngʼat ma ogen.

And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and your servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.

6 Nimar ngʼat mofuwo wacho weche mofuwo, kendo opongʼ gi richo: Otimo timbe mag richo kendo olando miriambo kuom Jehova Nyasaye; mi omon joma odenyo chamo gik monego gicham kendo joma riyo oloyo otamoe pi.

For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.

7 Ngʼat ma achach yorene richo, osiko ka chunye chano mana timo richo, kotieko jodhier gi miriambo kata obedo ni ywak mar joma ni e chandruok nikare.

For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgement.

8 To ngʼat mogen loso weche mabeyo kendo kuom timbe makare miyo ochungʼ motegno.

But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.

9 Un mon maparo ni odak e ngima maber, auru malo kendo uwinj wachna, un nyiri modak gi kwe, winjuru gima awacho!

Rise up, you rich women, and hear my voice; you confident daughters, listen to my words.

10 Bangʼ higa achiel, un ma uparo nudak mokwe, kibaji nogou; cham ok nochiegi, kendo keyo mar mzabibu ok nobedie.

Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.

11 Beduru moluor un mon maparo nodak e ngima maber; beduru mokuyo, un nyiri maparo nodak gi kwe! Lonyreuru duge kendo utwe piende gugru enungou.

Be amazed, be pained, you confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;

12 Ywaguru ka ugoyo agogu nikech puothe momewo, nikech olembe mag mzabibu,

and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.

13 kendo kuom piny joga, piny mopongʼ gi kuthe kod pedo, ee, ywaguru udi ma yande mor opongʼo kendo kuom dala maduongʼ mar mor gi ilo masani odongʼ nono.

[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.

14 Kama ochiel motegno nojwangʼ, dala maduongʼ nodongʼ gunda; kama ochiel motegno mag siro lweny kod kar ngʼicho nodongʼ kama punda bukore, kod kar kwadh jamni,

[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;

15 nyaka chop Roho ol kuomwa koa malo, kendo piny motwo nolokre kuonde mamiyo, mi kuonde mamiyo nonenre ka bungu.

until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.

16 Adiera nobedie e piny motwo, mi tim makare nodag e puodho mamiyo.

Then judgement shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.

17 Olemb tim makare nobed kwe; to tim makare nokel horuok gi chir nyaka chiengʼ.

And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.

18 Joga nodag kuonde ma kwe nitie, e mier moger motegno, kendo kuonde ma kwe nitie ma koko ongee.

And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.

19 Kata obedo ni pe nolwer bunge kendo dala maduongʼ nopodh chuth,

And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.

20 to mano kaka inibed ngʼama ogwedhi, ka ichwoyo chambi e bath aore duto, kendo ka iweyo jambi kod punde magi wuotho awuotha kaka ohero.

Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
