Isaya 45
1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachone Sairas, ngʼate moseyiero niya, “Asemako lweti ma korachwich, mondo ilo ogendini manie nyimi, kendo iketh teko mag ruodhi gigegi mag lweny, mondo iyaw dhoudi e nyime maonge dhorangeye mibiro lor.
Thus said YHWH, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Indeed, I loose loins of kings, To open double doors before him, Indeed, gates are not shut:
2 Abiro telo e nyimi kendo abiro pieyo gode madongo mogangore; anamuk dhorangeye mag nyinyo kendo anangʼad ndigni mag dhorangeye mag chuma.
“I go before you, and make crooked places straight, I shatter doors of bronze, And I cut bars of iron apart,
3 Anamiyi mwandu mopandi e mudho, mwandu mokan kuonde mopondo, mondo omi ingʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, maluongi gi nyingi.
And have given to you treasures of darkness, Even treasures of secret places, So that you know that I, YHWH, Who am calling on your name—[am] the God of Israel.
4 Nikech Jakobo jatichna, kendo nikech Israel mayiero, aseluongi gi nyingi kendo aseketo kuomi nonro mar luor, kata obedo ni ok iseyanga kamano.
For the sake of My servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I also call you by your name, I surname you, And you have not known Me.
5 An e Jehova Nyasaye, kendo moro onge; onge Nyasaye moro makmana an. Anamiyi teko, kata obedo ni pok iyanga kamano,
I [am] YHWH, and there is none else, There is no God except Me, I gird you, and you have not known Me.
6 mondo omi ji ongʼe ni koa wuok chiengʼ nyaka podho chiengʼ, onge ngʼat moro amora makmana an. An e Jehova Nyasaye, kendo moro onge.
So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] YHWH, and there is none else,
7 An ema ne achweyo ler kod mudho, akelo gweth kod masira bende; An, Jehova Nyasaye ema timo magi duto.
Forming light, and creating darkness, Making peace, and creating calamity, I [am] YHWH, doing all these things.
8 “Un polo lwaruru tim makare mondo ochwer kaka koth e piny. Un piny yawreuru malach mondo warruok obi, mondo tim makare odongi e piny, an Jehova Nyasaye achweyo magi duto.
Drop, you heavens, from above, And clouds cause righteousness to flow, Earth opens, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, YHWH, have created it.
9 “Mano kaka ngʼama piem gi Jachwechne none malit, ngʼat ma en mana lowo mochwe, mantiere e kind lope mamoko. Bende lowo nyalo wachone jachwechne ni, ‘En angʼo ma iloso?’ Bende tich lweti nyalo wachoni ni, Onge gima iloso?
Woe [to] him who is striving with his Former (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Does clay say to its Framer, What [are] you doing? And your work, He has no hands?
10 Inine malit in ngʼat mawachone wuon-gi ni, ‘Angʼo minywoloni?’ Kata ne min-gi ni, ‘En angʼo maninywoloni?’
Woe [to] him who is saying to a father, What do you beget? Or to a wife, What do you bring forth?”
11 “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Jal Maler mar Israel, kendo Jachwechne wacho: Kuom gigo mabiro timore, bende inyalo penja kuom nyithinda, kata miya chik kuom tich lweta?
Thus said YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former: “Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Indeed, concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
12 An ema ne achweyo piny kendo ne achweyo dhano e iye. Ne achweyo polo malach gi lweta awuon, kendo an ema ne aketo gik moko duto manie kor polo.
I made earth, and created man on it, My hands stretched out the heavens, And I have commanded all their host.
13 Kuom ratiro mara abiro tingʼo Sairas malo kama: Anami yorene duto oriere tir. Enochak oger dala maduongʼ kendo omi joga manoter e twech obed thuolo, to ok en yor chudo kata yudo mich moro amora, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego owacho.”
I have stirred him up in righteousness, And I make all his ways straight, He builds My city, and sends out My captivity, Not for price, nor for bribe,” said YHWH of Hosts.
14 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Gik moa Misri gi gige ohala mag Kush, to gi jo-Sabea ma roboche nobi iri, kendo ginibed magi; ginilu bangʼi ka gibiro, ka moro ka moro otwe gi nyororo. Ginikulre e nyimi kendo ka gisayi, kagiwacho ni, ‘Adiera Nyasaye ni kodi, kendo onge moro amora; onge Nyasaye moro amora.’”
Thus said YHWH: “The labor of Egypt, And the merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim—men of measure, Pass over to you, and they are yours, They go after you, they pass over in chains, And they bow themselves to you, They pray to you: Surely God [is] in you, And there is none else, no [other] God.”
15 Adiera in Nyasaye modak apanda, yaye Nyasaye kendo Jawar mar Israel.
Surely You [are] a God hiding Yourself, God of Israel—Savior!
16 Jogo duto maloso nyiseche manono noyud wichkuot kod achaya; kendo giduto gininwangʼ wichkuot.
They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed—all of them, Those carving images have gone together in confusion.
17 To Israel Jehova Nyasaye noresi gi warruok manyaka chiengʼ; wiwu ok nokuodi bende ok nochau nyaka chiengʼ.
Israel has been saved in YHWH, A perpetual salvation! You are not ashamed nor confounded For all ages of eternity!
18 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasaye mane ochweyo polo, kendo mane ochweyo piny mondo ji odagie to ok ni mondo piny obed maonge ji, owacho niya: “An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo onge moro machielo.
For thus said YHWH, Creator of the heavens, He is God, Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it—He did not create it empty, For He formed it to be inhabited: “I [am] YHWH, and there is none else.
19 Ok asewuoyo kama opondo, kata kama otimo mudho; ok asewachone nyikwa Jakobo ni, ‘Manyauru kayiem nono.’ An, Jehova Nyasaye, awacho adiera; awacho gima kare.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth, I have not said to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me in vain, I [am] YHWH, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness.
20 “Chokreuru kanyakla kendo ubi; chokreuru, un joma otony moa e pinje. Joma ofuwo gin jogo mawuotho kotingʼo nyiseche mopa mag yien, malamo nyiseche ma ok nyal resogi.
Be gathered, and come in, Come near together, you escaped of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the wood of their carved image, And praying to a god [that] does not save.
21 Wach gima biro timore kendo yange e lela mondo mi gilalre kanyakla. En ngʼa mane ofwenyo wachni chon kendo mane owacho chon ni obiro timore? Donge ne en an, Jehova Nyasaye? Kendo onge Nyasaye moro makmana an, Nyasaye makare kendo ma Jawar; onge moro amora makmana an.
Declare, and bring near, Indeed, they take counsel together, Who has proclaimed this from of old? [Who] has declared it from that time? Is it not I—YHWH? And there is no other god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none except Me.
22 “Biuru ira un joma oa e tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny nimar unuyud resruok; nimar an Nyasaye, kendo onge moro amora.
Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth, For I [am] God, and there is none else.
23 Asesingora an awuon, kendo dhoga osewacho gi ratiro duto wach ma ok bi kethi ni: Ji duto nogo chong-gi piny e nyima; kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nosingre gi nyinga.
I have sworn by Myself, A word has gone out from My mouth in righteousness, And it does not return, That to Me, every knee bows, every tongue swears.
24 Giniwach kuoma ni, ‘Kuom Jehova Nyasaye kende ema iyudoe adieri kod teko.’” Jogo duto manopiem kode nochungʼ e nyime gi wichkuot.
Only in YHWH, one has said, Do I have righteousness and strength, He comes to Him, And all those displeased with Him are ashamed.
25 To kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nyikwa Israel duto noyudi ka joma nikare kendo man-gi duongʼ.
In YHWH are all the seed of Israel justified, And they boast themselves.”
