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.
And now thus says the Lord God that made you, O Jacob, and formed you, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed you, I have called you [by] your name; you are 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.
And if you pass through water, I am with you; and the rivers shall not overflow you: and if you go through fire, you shall not be burned; the flame shall not burn you.
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 your God, the Holy One of Israel, that saves you: I have made Egypt and Ethiopia your ransom, and [given] Soene for you.
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 you became precious in my sight, you have become glorious, and I have loved you: and I will give men for you, and princes for your 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 you: I will bring your seed from the east, and will gather you 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, Bring; and to the south, Keep not back; bring my sons from the [land] afar off, 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] all who are called by my name: for I have prepared him for my glory, and I have formed him, and have made him:
8 Keluru jogo man-gi wenge to ok nyal neno, to bende gin gi it to ok giwinj wach.
and I have brought forth the blind people; for [their] eyes are alike blind, and they that have ears are deaf.
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.”
All the nations are gathered together, and princes shall be gathered out of them: who will declare these things? or who will declare to you things from the beginning? let them bring forth their witnesses, and be justified; and let them hear, and declare the 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.
Be you my witnesses, and I [too am] a witness, says the Lord God, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know, and believe, and understand that I am [he]: before me there was no other God, and after me there shall be none.
11 An e Jehova Nyasaye adier, kendo onge jawar moro machielo makmana an.
I am God; 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; I have reproached, and there was no strange [god] among you: you are my witnesses, and I am the Lord God,
13 Ee An ema asebetie nyaka aa chakruok. Gima amako onge ngʼama nyalo golo e lweta. En ngʼa manyalo ketho gima atimo?
even from the beginning; and there is none that can deliver out of my hands: I will work, and who shall turn it back?
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 says the Lord God that redeems you, the Holy One of Israel; for your sakes I will send to Babylon, and I will stir up all that flee, and the Chaldeans shall be bound in ships.
15 An e Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler, Jachwech Israel kendo Ruodhu.”
I am the Lord God, your Holy One, who have appointed for Israel your king.
16 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Jal manoloso yo e dier nam, kendo manoketo yo e kind pi mogingore,
Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty water;
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.
who brought forth chariots and horse, and a mighty multitude: but they have lain down, and shall not rise: they are extinct, as quenched flax.
18 Koro awachonu niya, “Goluru chunyu oko e gik machon kendo weuru paro gik mosekadho.
Remember you not the former things, and consider not the ancient things.
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 new things, which shall presently spring forth, and you shall know them: and I will make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land.
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 beasts of the field shall bless me, the owls and young ostriches; for I have given water in the wilderness, and rivers in the dry land, to give drink to my chosen race,
21 gin ji mane achweyo ne an awuon, mondo omi gipaka.
my people whom I have preserved to tell forth my praises.
22 “To kata kamano ne ok uluonga mondo akonyu, yaye Jakobo, useol koda, yaye Israel.
I have not now called you, O Jacob; neither have I made you weary, 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.
You have not brought me the sheep of your whole burnt offering; neither have you glorified me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with sacrifices, neither have I wearied you with frankincense.
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.
Neither have you purchased for me victims for silver, neither have I desired the fat of your sacrifices: but you did stand before me in your sins, and in your 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 blots out your transgressions for mine own sake, and your sins; and I will not remember [them].
26 Parnauru gik mane otimore chon, mondo wapim wechego kanyakla; kendo wachuru ane gik manyiso ni uonge gi ketho.
But do you remember, and let us plead [together]: do you first confess your transgressions, that you may be justified.
27 Kwaru mokwongo notimo richo; kendo jotendu nongʼanyona.
Your fathers first, and your princes 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.”
And the princes have defiled my sanctuaries: so I gave Jacob [to enemies] to destroy, and Israel to reproach.
