< Isaya 43 >
1 To koro ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Nyasaye mane ochweyi, yaye Jakobo, Nyasaye mane ochweyi, yaye Israel: “Kik ibed maluor, nimar aseresi; kendo aseluongi gi nyingi ni in mara awuon.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.
2 Ka ikadho ei pige matut, to anabed kodi; kendo ka ungʼado aore to ok giniteru. Ka uwuotho e mach mager to ok nowangʼu, kata mana mach makakni ok nowangʼu.
When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi, Nyasaye Maler mar Israel, ma Jawarni; achiwo Misri gi Kush kod Seba ka gir chudo mondo oresigo.
For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
4 Nikech in ngʼat makare kendo mogen e nyima kendo nikech aheri, abiro chiwo ji kar loi mondo aresigo kendo abiro chiwo ji mamoko mondo ochungʼ e loi.
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5 Kik ibed maluor, nimar an kodi; abiro duogo nyithindi koa yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo abiro choko nyithindi moa yo podho chiengʼ.
Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6 Abiro wachone joma odak nyandwat ni, ‘Wegi gidhi!’ Kendo ni joma odak milambo ni, ‘Kik ugengʼ-gi.’ Keluru yawuota moa mabor kaachiel gi nyiga koa e tunge piny,
I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 ngʼato angʼata miluongo gi nyinga, ngʼat mane achweyo mondo omiya duongʼ, ngʼat mane achweyo kendo amiyo ngima.”
[Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
8 Keluru jogo man-gi wenge to ok nyal neno, to bende gin gi it to ok giwinj wach.
Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Ogendini duto chokore kanyakla kendo ji duto chokore kamoro achiel. En ngʼa kuomgi mane ofwenyo gima kama kapok otimore kendo mane owachonwa gigo mane otimore chon? Wegiuru gikel joneno mag-gi mondo onyiswa ane ni ne gin kare, eka joma owinjo owachi niya, “En adier.”
Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Un joneno maga ma wuoyo kuoma” kendo jotichna ma aseyiero, mondo mi ungʼe kendo uyie kuoma kendo ubed gingʼeyo ni An e Nyasaye. Onge Nyasaye moro ma nobetie kapok abet bende onge nyasaye moro manobi bangʼe.
Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 An e Jehova Nyasaye adier, kendo onge jawar moro machielo makmana an.
I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour.
12 An awuon ema asenyisou, aseresou kendo asewachonu ni an ema asetimo magi ma ok nyiseche manono ma un-go e dieru. Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Un e joneno maga ni an e Nyasaye.”
I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
13 Ee An ema asebetie nyaka aa chakruok. Gima amako onge ngʼama nyalo golo e lweta. En ngʼa manyalo ketho gima atimo?
Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
14 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler mar Israel ma jaresu wacho: “Nikech un, abiro oro ji Babulon mondo odhi oom jo-Babulon duto e twech, kotingʼ-gi e yiedhi mane gisungorego.
Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.
15 An e Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler, Jachwech Israel kendo Ruodhu.”
I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.
16 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Jal manoloso yo e dier nam, kendo manoketo yo e kind pi mogingore,
Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
17 bende namiyo geche lweny kod farese odonjo kuno, kaachiel gi jolweny duto maroteke, kendo negirumo kuno ma ok gichako gitingʼo wigi mi githo mana ka taya monegi.
Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
18 Koro awachonu niya, “Goluru chunyu oko e gik machon kendo weuru paro gik mosekadho.
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Neuru, atimo gimoro manyien! Koro osechako timore, bende unene? Aloso yo e piny motimo ongoro kendo aketo aore kuonde mojwangʼ.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert.
20 Le mag thim ma gin ondiegi kod tula miya duongʼ, nikech asemiyogi pi e piny motimo ongoro kendo aseketo aore kuonde mojwangʼ, mondo joga mayiero oyud pi modho,
The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 gin ji mane achweyo ne an awuon, mondo omi gipaka.
This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
22 “To kata kamano ne ok uluonga mondo akonyu, yaye Jakobo, useol koda, yaye Israel.
But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
23 Ok usechiwo rombe mondo otimnago misango miwangʼo pep, bende ok usemiya duongʼ gi misengini magu. Ok asemiyou tingʼ mapek mag chiwo mag cham, kata dwaro ni uwangʼna ubani.
Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
24 Ne ok ungʼiewona gimoro amora mangʼwe ngʼar, bende ne ok udhila gi boche mag misengini. To richou kende ema ne tura, kendo ne uola mana gi kethou.
Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 “An kende e jal magolo richou duto kendo ok achak apargi nikech mano e gima ahero timo.
I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
26 Parnauru gik mane otimore chon, mondo wapim wechego kanyakla; kendo wachuru ane gik manyiso ni uonge gi ketho.
Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
27 Kwaru mokwongo notimo richo; kendo jotendu nongʼanyona.
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
28 Kuom mano abiro kuodo wi joma tiyo ei hekalu mau, kendo abiro jwangʼo Jakobo mondo otieki, mi Israel yud wichkuot.”
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
