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.
Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
2 Abiro telo e nyimi kendo abiro pieyo gode madongo mogangore; anamuk dhorangeye mag nyinyo kendo anangʼad ndigni mag dhorangeye mag chuma.
This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
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 you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
4 Nikech Jakobo jatichna, kendo nikech Israel mayiero, aseluongi gi nyingi kendo aseketo kuomi nonro mar luor, kata obedo ni ok iseyanga kamano.
I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
5 An e Jehova Nyasaye, kendo moro onge; onge Nyasaye moro makmana an. Anamiyi teko, kata obedo ni pok iyanga kamano,
I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
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.
in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
7 An ema ne achweyo ler kod mudho, akelo gweth kod masira bende; An, Jehova Nyasaye ema timo magi duto.
I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those 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.
[And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
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?
Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
10 Inine malit in ngʼat mawachone wuon-gi ni, ‘Angʼo minywoloni?’ Kata ne min-gi ni, ‘En angʼo maninywoloni?’
And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
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?
Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
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 am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
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.”
And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
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.’”
And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
15 Adiera in Nyasaye modak apanda, yaye Nyasaye kendo Jawar mar Israel.
God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
16 Jogo duto maloso nyiseche manono noyud wichkuot kod achaya; kendo giduto gininwangʼ wichkuot.
All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
17 To Israel Jehova Nyasaye noresi gi warruok manyaka chiengʼ; wiwu ok nokuodi bende ok nochau nyaka chiengʼ.
But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
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.
Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
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.
[What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what 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.
You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
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.
Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
22 “Biuru ira un joma oa e tungʼ piny gi tungʼ piny nimar unuyud resruok; nimar an Nyasaye, kendo onge moro amora.
Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
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 solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
24 Giniwach kuoma ni, ‘Kuom Jehova Nyasaye kende ema iyudoe adieri kod teko.’” Jogo duto manopiem kode nochungʼ e nyime gi wichkuot.
They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
25 To kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nyikwa Israel duto noyudi ka joma nikare kendo man-gi duongʼ.
Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
