Isaya 33

1 Unune malit un joma osetieko ji, to pok otieku! Unune malit un joma osendhogo ji, to un pok ondhogu! Ka uweyo tieko ji to notieku; bende ka uweyo ndhogo ji to nondhogu.

WOE to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

2 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa; nimar chunywa dwari. Miwae teko okinyi ka okinyi, kendo bednwa kar resruok, e kinde mag chandruok.

O Lord, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

3 Ka dwondi omor to ji ringo; ka ia malo to ogendini ke.

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

4 Yaye un ogendini, mwandu noyaki mana ka kama nyithi bonyo omonjo; kendo ji noyak mwandugi, mana kaka bonyo monjo piny.

And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

5 Nying Jehova Nyasaye otingʼ malo, nimar odak e polo; obiro pongʼo Sayun gi tim makare kod adiera.

The Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

6 Enobed mise mar adier e ndalou, kar mwandu mar resruok gi rieko kod ngʼeyo; luoro Jehova Nyasaye e rayaw mar mwanduni.

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

7 To neuru kaka thuondige ywak malit e wangʼ yore; joote ma oseor mondo odwar kwe ywak malit.

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

8 Yore osedongʼ nono, kendo onge jowuoth e yo. Winjruok osekethi mi joma nobedo joneno ok dew, kendo onge ngʼama omi luor.

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

9 Piny ywak kendo dok chien, Lebanon ni e wichkuot kendo okethore, Sharon olokore ongoro ka Araba, kendo Bashan gi Karmel oyaki modongʼ nono.

The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Koro abiro aa malo, mondo anyisu duongʼna gi tekona.

Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

11 Ubiro mako ich to unywolo yamo; muya muyweyo en mach ma tiekou.

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

12 Ogendini nowangʼ, mi lokre pidhe mag buru, kendo mana kaka kudho mobet e bungu enowangʼ gi mach!”

And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

13 Un mudak mabor, winjuru gima asetimo, un mudak machiegni ngʼeuru tekona!

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

14 Joricho man Sayun, kihondko osemako; kibaji ogoyo joma okia nyasaye, mi gisepenjore kendgi niya, “En ngʼa kuomwa manyalo dak kod mach mawengʼo magerni? Koso en ngʼa kuomwa manyalo dak kod mach maliel maonge gikone?”

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

15 Ngʼatno mawuotho e ratiro kendo wacho gima adiera, ma tamore yudo ohala e yor mecho kendo ok oyie kawo asoya, ngʼatno ma ok chik ite e chenro mar neko, kendo odino wengene e neno timbe mamono,

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

16 ma e ngʼama nodagi kuonde motingʼore gi malo, ma kare mar pondo nobedi got mochiel gohinga motegno. Chiembe ibiro chiw, kendo pi ok nodwon-ne.

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

17 Wengeni biro neno ruoth kober kendo iningʼi piny molandore malach.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

18 E pachi inipar masiche machon: “Ere jatelo maduongʼ cha? Ere ngʼatno mane okawo osuru? Ere jatelo mochungʼne kuonde ngʼicho man malo?”

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

19 Ok inichak ine jonjorego kendo, jogo ma wechegi oyombore, kendo mawacho dhok matek winjo.

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

20 Ka irango Sayun, dala maduongʼ mar sewniwa moyier; ibiro neno Jerusalem kama kwe nitie, hema ma ok bi muki; loje mage ok nopudhi, kata tondene ok nochodi.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

21 Kanyo Jehova Nyasaye biro bedonwa Jal Maratego. Kanyo nochalnwa ka aore kod mago matindo. Yiedhi man-gi tanga ok nokwangʼ kanyo, meli maduongʼ ok nokwangʼ e aore.

But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

22 Nimar Jehova Nyasaye e jangʼadnwa bura, Jehova Nyasaye e jaketonwa chik, kendo Jehova Nyasaye e ruodhwa; en ema obiro resowa.

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.

23 Tondegi mag meli obwodhore: Tanga ok otwe motegno, ok ginyal kwangʼ maber. Eka gik moyaki ibiro pogi kendo kata mana joma rongʼonde noyud pok.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

24 Onge ngʼama odak Sayun manowachi niya, “Atuo,” kendo richo mag joma odak kanyo nowenegi.

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
