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 said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on 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.

When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against 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—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.

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 were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.

5 Kik ibed maluor, nimar an kodi; abiro duogo nyithindi koa yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo abiro choko nyithindi moa yo podho chiengʼ.

Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I 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 am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.

7 ngʼato angʼata miluongo gi nyinga, ngʼat mane achweyo mondo omiya duongʼ, ngʼat mane achweyo kendo amiyo ngima.”

Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.

8 Keluru jogo man-gi wenge to ok nyal neno, to bende gin gi it to ok giwinj wach.

He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who 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.”

All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “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.

You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.

11 An e Jehova Nyasaye adier, kendo onge jawar moro machielo makmana an.

I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.

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 declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And 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?

Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns 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 said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.

15 An e Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler, Jachwech Israel kendo Ruodhu.”

I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, 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 said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong 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.

Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”

18 Koro awachonu niya, “Goluru chunyu oko e gik machon kendo weuru paro gik mosekadho.

Do not remember former things, And do not consider 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 am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.

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 honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.

21 gin ji mane achweyo ne an awuon, mondo omi gipaka.

I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.

22 “To kata kamano ne ok uluonga mondo akonyu, yaye Jakobo, useol koda, yaye Israel.

And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied 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.

You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor 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.

You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.

25 “An kende e jal magolo richou duto kendo ok achak apargi nikech mano e gima ahero timo.

I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.

26 Parnauru gik mane otimore chon, mondo wapim wechego kanyakla; kendo wachuru ane gik manyiso ni uonge gi ketho.

Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.

27 Kwaru mokwongo notimo richo; kendo jotendu nongʼanyona.

Your first father sinned, And your interpreters 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 I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
