< Isaya 32 >
1 Winjuru, Ruoth nobed gi loch makare kendo jotelo nobed gi telo mar adier.
Lo! in righteousness, shall reign a king, Yea even princes, with equity, shall bear rule.
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.
So shall each one become As a hiding-place from the wind And a covert from the storm, —As channels of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.
3 Eka wenge joma neno ok nochak ogengʼ, kendo joma ochiko itgi nowinj wach.
And the eyes of them who are ready to see, shall not be closed, —And, the ears of them who are ready to hear, shall hearken;
4 Chuny ngʼat mamuomore nowinj wach gi tiende kendo ngʼat ma radwal nowuo maber kendo maliw.
And the heart of the hurried, shall take note of knowledge, And the tongue of stammerers, shall make haste to speak plainly.
5 Ok nochak oluong ngʼat mofuwo ni ngʼat malongʼo, kata ngʼat ma ja-miganga ni ngʼat ma ogen.
A base man, shall no longer be called, noble, —Nor, a knave, be named, liberal;
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, a base man, with baseness, will speak, And, his heart, will practise iniquity, —Practising profanity, And speaking, against Yahweh that which misleadeth, Emptying the soul of the hungry, And the drink of the thirsty, he causeth to fail;
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.
Yea, a knave, his weapons are wicked, —He, base schemes, hath devised To ruin the oppressed with speeches of falsehood Even when the needy pleadeth, for justice.
8 To ngʼat mogen loso weche mabeyo kendo kuom timbe makare miyo ochungʼ motegno.
But, a noble man, noble things, hath devised, —And, he, upon noble things, will stand,
9 Un mon maparo ni odak e ngima maber, auru malo kendo uwinj wachna, un nyiri modak gi kwe, winjuru gima awacho!
Ye women in comfort! arise hear my voice, Ye daughters so confident give ear to my speech: —
10 Bangʼ higa achiel, un ma uparo nudak mokwe, kibaji nogou; cham ok nochiegi, kendo keyo mar mzabibu ok nobedie.
Some days beyond a year, ye shall be troubled ye confident ones, —For failed hath the vintage, No, gathering, cometh in.
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.
Tremble, ye women in comfort, Be troubled ye daughters so confident, —Strip! and bare yourselves, and gird somewhat on your loins:
12 Ywaguru ka ugoyo agogu nikech puothe momewo, nikech olembe mag mzabibu,
Upon your breasts, continue smiting: For desirable fields, For fruitful 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.
Over the soil of my people, thorns and briars shall grow, —Yea over all houses of joy, thou city exultant!
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,
For the palace, is abandoned, the tumult of the city, hath ceased—Hill and watch-tower, serve as caves, unto times age-abiding, The joy of wild-asses, The pasture of flocks: —
15 nyaka chop Roho ol kuomwa koa malo, kendo piny motwo nolokre kuonde mamiyo, mi kuonde mamiyo nonenre ka bungu.
Until there be poured out upon us the spirit, from on high, —Then shall the wilderness become, garden-land, And the garden-land, for a forest, be reckoned;
16 Adiera nobedie e piny motwo, mi tim makare nodag e puodho mamiyo.
Then shall, justice inhabit, the wilderness, And righteousness, in the garden-land, shall abide;
17 Olemb tim makare nobed kwe; to tim makare nokel horuok gi chir nyaka chiengʼ.
And the yield of righteousness, shall be, peace, —And the tillage of righteousness, quietness, and confidence! to times age-abiding;
18 Joga nodag kuonde ma kwe nitie, e mier moger motegno, kendo kuonde ma kwe nitie ma koko ongee.
And my people shall dwell, In a borne of peace, —and In habitations of security, and In resting-places of comfort.
19 Kata obedo ni pe nolwer bunge kendo dala maduongʼ nopodh chuth,
But it shall hail during the felling of the forest, And in a sunken place, shall, the city, sink.
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.
How happy are ye who sow beside all waters, —Who send forth the foot of the ox and the ass.
