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 saith Jehovah to his anointed, To Cyrus, whom I hold by his right hand, To subdue nations before him, And ungird the loins of kings; To open before him the two-leaved gates, And the doors shall not be shut.
2 Abiro telo e nyimi kendo abiro pieyo gode madongo mogangore; anamuk dhorangeye mag nyinyo kendo anangʼad ndigni mag dhorangeye mag chuma.
I will go before thee, And make the high places plain; I will break in pieces the gates of brass, And cut in sunder the bars of iron.
3 Anamiyi mwandu mopandi e mudho, mwandu mokan kuonde mopondo, mondo omi ingʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, maluongi gi nyingi.
I will give thee the treasures of darkness, And hidden riches of secret places, That thou mayst know that I am Jehovah Who calleth thee by name, 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 Jacob, my servant, And Israel, my chosen, I have called thee by thy name; I have spoken to thee as a friend, though thou hast 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 Jehovah, and none else; There is no God besides me; I have girded thee, though thou hast 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.
That men may know from the rising of the sun, And from the West, that there is none besides me; I am Jehovah, and none else.
7 An ema ne achweyo ler kod mudho, akelo gweth kod masira bende; An, Jehova Nyasaye ema timo magi duto.
I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I, Jehovah, do 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.
Pour forth, ye heavens, from above; Ye clouds, shower down prosperity! Let the earth open, and bring forth salvation; Yea, let righteousness spring up together! I, Jehovah, create 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 that contendeth with his Maker! A potsherd of the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? Or thy work say of thee, He hath no hands?
10 Inine malit in ngʼat mawachone wuon-gi ni, ‘Angʼo minywoloni?’ Kata ne min-gi ni, ‘En angʼo maninywoloni?’
Woe to him that saith to his father, Why dost thou beget? Or to his mother, Why dost thou 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 saith Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask of me concerning things to come; My children, the work of my hands, leave them to 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 the earth, And created man upon it; My hands spread out the heavens, And all their host did I arrange.
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 raised him up for salvation, And I will make all his ways plain; He shall build my city, and release my captives, Not for price, and not for ransom, Saith Jehovah 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 saith Jehovah: The wealth of Egypt and the merchandise of the Ethiopians and Sabeans, men of stature, Shall come over to thee, and be thine; They shall follow thee; in chains shall they pass along; They shall fall down to thee, and make supplication to thee: “In thee alone is God, and there is none else; There is no other God.”
15 Adiera in Nyasaye modak apanda, yaye Nyasaye kendo Jawar mar Israel.
Truly thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the saviour!
16 Jogo duto maloso nyiseche manono noyud wichkuot kod achaya; kendo giduto gininwangʼ wichkuot.
They shall all be ashamed and confounded, They shall go to confusion together, That are makers of idols.
17 To Israel Jehova Nyasaye noresi gi warruok manyaka chiengʼ; wiwu ok nokuodi bende ok nochau nyaka chiengʼ.
But Israel shall be saved by Jehovah with an everlasting salvation; Ye shall never be ashamed, nor confounded.
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 saith Jehovah, who created the heavens; The God that formed the earth and made it; he that made it firm; He created it not in vain; he formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and 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 race of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain! I, Jehovah, speak truth; I declare that which is right.
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.
Assemble yourselves and come; Gather yourselves together, ye that are escaped of the nations! They are without understanding, who carry about with them the wood of their graven image, And pray to a god that cannot 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.
Proclaim ye, and bring them near, And let them take counsel together: Who hath made this known from ancient time? Who hath declared it of old? Is it not I, Jehovah, besides whom there is no God? A God that uttereth truth, and giveth salvation; there is none besides me.
22 “Biuru ira un joma oa e tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny nimar unuyud resruok; nimar an Nyasaye, kendo onge moro amora.
Look to me, and be saved, all ye 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.
By myself have I sworn, The truth hath gone from my mouth, The word, that shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, That to me every tongue shall swear.
24 Giniwach kuoma ni, ‘Kuom Jehova Nyasaye kende ema iyudoe adieri kod teko.’” Jogo duto manopiem kode nochungʼ e nyime gi wichkuot.
“Only in Jehovah,” shall men say, “Is salvation and strength; To him shall come and be put to shame, All that are incensed against him.”
25 To kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nyikwa Israel duto noyudi ka joma nikare kendo man-gi duongʼ.
Through Jehovah shall all the race of Israel be delivered, And in him shall they glory.
