< Isaya 46 >

1 Bel kod Nebo ma nyisechegi miywayo gi farese opodho piny. Nyisechegi mosebedo kitingʼo atingʼa osekelo chandruok ma giolo joma otingʼogi.
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
2 Gipodho piny giduto; ma ok ginyal kelo resruok ne joma lamogi, ka gin giwegi otergi e twech.
They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone into captivity.
3 Winjuru wachna, yaye od Jakobo, un jo-Israel duto modongʼ, un duto ma aseyiero nyaka aa chakruok kendo ma aserito nyaka aa e nywolu.
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the womb:
4 Kata ka udoko moti ma wiu otimo lwar, to pod An mana en, An ema abiro tingʼou mi aresu.
Even to old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 To en ngʼa ma unyalo pimago kata ma unyalo kwano ni rom koda? Koso ere ngʼama dichal koda ma dwapimrego?
To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like?
6 Jomoko olo dhahabu piny koa ei okepegi kendo pimo fedha e ratil; bangʼe gichulo jatheth, mondo olesnegigo nyasaye, kendo gikulore piny mi gilame.
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to worship.
7 Gitingʼe malo ma gikete e gokgi; eka gikete e kare monego obedie kendo kanyo ema osikoe. Kama oketeno ok onyal chorore. Kata bed ni ngʼato nyalo ywagorene to ok onyal dwoko; bende ok onyal rese e chandruokne.
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Paruru wachni, keturu e pachu kendo pareuru e chunyu un joma ongʼanyo.
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
9 Paruru gik mosekadho, gigo mane otimore chon, An e Nyasaye kendo onge moro machielo, bende An e Nyasaye kendo onge moro machalo koda.
Remember the former things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me;
10 Anyiso giko mar gimoro mana e kinde mochakore, bende asebedo kahulo gik mapok otimore. Awacho ni: Gima awacho nyaka timre kendo abiro timo gimoro amora mahero.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
11 Koa yo wuok chiengʼ nakel winyo mager, koa e piny mabor anakel ngʼato machopo dwarona. Gima asewacho nyaka chop kare, gima asechano ema abiro timo.
Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
12 Winjauru, un joma chunygi tek kendo mabor gi adiera.
Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Akelo adiera mara machiegni, ok en mabor; kendo warruokna ok nodeki. Abiro kelo resruok ni Sayun, kendo duongʼna nobed Israel.
I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
