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.
Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh—Creating thee, O Jacob, and Fashioning thee O Israel, —Do not fear, For I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name. Mine, thou art!
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, with thee, I am, Or, through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, —When thou walkest through fire, thou shall not be scorched, And, a flame, shall not 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,—Yahweh, am, Thy God, The Holy One of Israel Ready to save thee, —I have given, as thy ransom, Egypt, Ethiopia and Seba, in thy 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.
Because thou art precious in mine eyes, art honoured And, I, love thee, —And will give mankind, in thy stead, Yea, peoples, 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.
Do not fear for, with thee, I am, —From the East, will I bring in thy seed, And, from the West, will I gather thee:
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 Do not withhold! Bring in My sons from far, 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.”
Every one who is called by my Name, Whom for mine own glory, I have created—formed—yea, made!
8 Keluru jogo man-gi wenge to ok nyal neno, to bende gin gi it to ok giwinj wach.
Bring forth A blind people that have, eyes, and A 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.”
All the nations, are gathered together Yea there is an assembling of peoples, Who among them, can tell this, And things in advance, can let us hear? Let them set forth their witnesses that they may get their right, Or let them 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.
Ye, are my witnesses Declareth Yahweh, And my Servant, whom I have chosen, —That ye may take note—and believe me, And perceive that, I, am He, Before me, was not formed a GOD, Nor after me, shall one come into being:
11 An e Jehova Nyasaye adier, kendo onge jawar moro machielo makmana an.
I—I, am Yahweh, —And there is none besides me ready to save:
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 told—and will save, and make known, That there is among you no strange one; And, ye, are my witnesses, Declareth Yahweh 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?
Even from To-day, I, am He, And none, out of my hand, can deliver, —I work and who reverseth?
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 Yahweh, Your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, —For your sakes, have I sent into Babylon, And will bring down as fugitives, all of them, —Even the Chaldeans, in the ships which cause them loud outcry.
15 An e Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler, Jachwech Israel kendo Ruodhu.”
I—Yahweh, am 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 Yahweh, —Who setteth in the sea, a way, —And in the mighty waters, a path;
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 bringeth forth Chariot and horse, Force and strength, Together, shall they lie down They shall not arise, They are extinguished Like a wick, are they quenched!
18 Koro awachonu niya, “Goluru chunyu oko e gik machon kendo weuru paro gik mosekadho.
Do not keep in mind former things, —And things of old, do not consider:
19 Neuru, atimo gimoro manyien! Koro osechako timore, bende unene? Aloso yo e piny motimo ongoro kendo aketo aore kuonde mojwangʼ.
Behold me! doing a new thing, Now, shall it spring forth, Will ye not take note thereof? Surely I will set In the desert, a way, In a desolate land, rivers:
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 wild beast of the field shall honour me, Jackals, and ostriches, Because I have given—In the desert, waters, Rivers in, desolate land, To give drink unto my people, my chosen:
21 gin ji mane achweyo ne an awuon, mondo omi gipaka.
A people which I have fashioned for myself, My praise, shall they record.
22 “To kata kamano ne ok uluonga mondo akonyu, yaye Jakobo, useol koda, yaye Israel.
Yet not upon me, hast thou called, O Jacob, —For thou hast 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.
Thou hast not brought in to me small cattle as thine ascending-offerings, Nor, with thy sacrifices, hast thou honoured me, —I have not oppressed thee with meal-offerings, Nor have I wearied thee 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.
Thou hast not bought for me with silver, fragrant calamus, Nor with the fat of thy sacrifices, hast thou sated me, —Thou hast done nothing but oppress me 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—I, am he that is ready, To wipe out thy transgressions for mine own sake, —And, thy sins, not remember.
26 Parnauru gik mane otimore chon, mondo wapim wechego kanyakla; kendo wachuru ane gik manyiso ni uonge gi ketho.
Put me in mind, Let us enter into judgment at once, —Recount, thou, that thou mayest be justified:
27 Kwaru mokwongo notimo richo; kendo jotendu nongʼanyona.
Thy chief father, hath sinned, And thine interpreters, 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.”
So then I must needs profane the rulers of the holy place, —And deliver Jacob to be devoted to destruction, and Israel, unto reviling!
