Isaya 42
1 “Ma e jatichna masemiyo teko, en e ngʼat ma aseyiero, kendo ma chunya morgo, abiro keto Roho mara Maler kendo obiro kelo adiera ne ogendini.
Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one, in him I take delight. I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring justice to the nations.
2 Ok obi goyo koko kata nduru, dwonde bende ok nowinji e wangʼ yore.
He will not cry out nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the streets.
3 Kata obedo ni onenore kaka odundu mayom yom ok notur kendo kata obedo ni oliel ka taya ma mirimiri to ok notho. Enongʼad bura gadiera;
A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench: he will faithfully execute justice.
4 ok nochwanyre kata chunye bende ok nonyosre, nyaka okel adiera e piny duto. Pinje duto manie chula mag dier nam biro keto genogi kuom chikene.”
He will not grow faint nor be discouraged until he has established justice on the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
5 Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ma Jachwech polo malach, gi piny kod gik moko duto manie iye. En ema ochiwo muya ne dhano kod ngima ne joma wuotho e piny. Owacho kama:
This is what God Yahweh says— the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, the one who made the earth and all that it produces, the one who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who live on it:
6 “An Jehova Nyasaye, aseluongi mondo anyisi adierana; abiro mako lweti. Abiro riti kendo ibiro keti gir singruok e kinda gi ji kendo abiro keti ler mar ogendini duto,
“I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand. I will keep you and set you as a covenant for the people, as a light for the Gentiles,
7 mondo iyaw wenge muofni, kendo igol joma oketi e od twech, kendo igony joma otwe mobetie mudho.
to open the eyes of the blind, to release the prisoners from the dungeon, and from the house of confinement those who sit in darkness.
8 “Nyinga ma ongʼeyago en; Jehova Nyasaye! Ok anawe duongʼ mara ne nyasaye moro, bende pak ma ipakago ok nopakgo nyiseche mopa.
I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory I will not share with another nor my praise with carved idols.
9 Koro ne, gik machon osetimore bende anyisou gik manyien mabiro timore, to kapok gitimore to ahulonugi.”
See, the previous things came to pass, now I am about to declare new events. Before they begin to occur I will tell you about them.”
10 Werneuru Jehova Nyasaye wer manyien, kupako nyinge e piny duto, un joma kwangʼ e nam kaachiel gi gik manie yie gi pinje mag chula mar nam kod ji duto modak.
Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the coastlands, and those who live there.
11 Weuru kuonde motimo ongoro gi miechgi mondo ogo koko; kendo weuru joma odak e gwenge mag Kedar obed mamor. Weuru joma odak Sela ower gi mor, ka gikok ewi got malo.
Let the desert and the cities cry out, the villages where Kedar lives, shout for joy! Let the inhabitants of Sela sing; let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 Weuru gimi nying Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ kendo giland pakne e pinje manie chula.
Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands.
13 Jehova Nyasaye biro wuok oko ka thuon maratego, enobed gi mirima mager mana ka jalweny; kendo enokogi ka ogiyo sigich lweny, mi olo wasike.
Yahweh will go out as a warrior; as a man of war he will stir up his zeal. He will shout, yes, he will roar his battle cries; he will show his enemies his power.
14 Nimar kuom kinde mangʼeny aselingʼ, asehora kendo aseterora mos. To koro sani, abiro chalo mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo, maywak ka gamo yweyo matek.
I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.
15 Abiro tieko gode madongo gi gode matindo kendo anami gik motwi kuome two; bende anami aore lokre pinje manie chula kendo nami yewni dwon.
I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; and I will turn the rivers into islands and will dry up the marshes.
16 Anatel ne muofni mondo owuothi e yore mane ok gingʼeyo, kuonde mapok giwuothoe ema anatagie; kendo anami mudho olokrenegi ler, kendo analos kuonde bugni bed mopie. Magi e gik ma abiro timo; kendo ok najwangʼ-gi.
I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know; in paths that they do not know I will lead them. I will turn the darkness into light before them, and make the crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not abandon them.
17 To jogo ma oketo genogi kuom nyiseche mopa, mawacho ni kido mopa niya, Un e nyisechewa, jogo nokwed magiyud wichkuot.
They will be turned back, they will be completely put to shame, those who trust in carved figures, who say to cast metal figures, “You are our gods.”
18 “Winjuru un joma itgi odino un muofni ngʼiuru mondo une!
Listen, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 En ngʼa ma muofu makmana jotichna, kendo ma ite odino ka jaote maoro? Koso en ngʼa ma muofu maloyo ngʼat mochiworena, kata ma muofu maloyo jatich Jehova Nyasaye?
Who is blind but my servant? Or deaf like my messenger I send? Who is as blind as my covenant partner, or blind as Yahweh's servant?
20 Iseneno gik mangʼeny, to ok isedewo; iti to oyawore, to gima iwinjo ema onge.”
You see many things, but do not comprehend; ears are open, but no one hears.
21 Jehova Nyasaye ne mor mondo chikne obed gi teko kod duongʼ, mondo adiera mare olandre.
It pleased Yahweh to praise his justice and to make his law glorious.
22 To jogi gin joma oyaki kendo omaa, giduto gisenyumore ma gimoko e bugni, kendo opandgi e ute mag twech. Gisebedo gik moyaki maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi; bende gichalo gik moyaki maonge ngʼama nyalo wacho niya, “Dwokgi.”
But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all trapped in pits, held captive in prisons; they have become a plunder with no one to rescue them, and no one says, “Bring them back!”
23 En ngʼa kuomu manyalo winjo wachni kata chiko ite malongʼo e ndalo mabiro?
Who among you will listen to this? Who will listen and hear in the future?
24 En ngʼa mane ochiwo Jakobo mondo obed gima oyaki, kendo jo-Israel e lwet joyeko? Donge en Jehova Nyasaye ma wasetimo richo e nyime? Nimar ne ok ginyal luwo yorene; bende ne ok girito chikene.
Who gave Jacob over to the robber, and Israel to the looters? Was it not Yahweh, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they refused to walk, and whose law they refused to obey?
25 Omiyo noolo mirimbe mager mar lweny kuomgi. Ne olworogi gi mach mawengʼo to ne ok gidewe; bende majno ne owangʼogi to ne ok gidewe.
Therefore he poured out on them his fierce anger and the violence of war, Its flames encircled them, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.
