Isaya 46
1 Bel kod Nebo ma nyisechegi miywayo gi farese opodho piny. Nyisechegi mosebedo kitingʼo atingʼa osekelo chandruok ma giolo joma otingʼogi.
Bel bows down. Nebo stoops. Their idols are carried by animals, and on the livestock. The things that you carried around are heavy loads, a burden for the weary.
2 Gipodho piny giduto; ma ok ginyal kelo resruok ne joma lamogi, ka gin giwegi otergi e twech.
They stoop and they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but they have 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.
“Sh'ma ·Hear obey· me, house of Jacob [Supplanter], and all the remnant of the house of Israel [God prevails], that have been carried from their birth, that have been carried from the racham ·womb, bowels of compassion·.
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 he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, 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 you liken me, and consider my equal, and compare me, that we may be equal?
6 Jomoko olo dhahabu piny koa ei okepegi kendo pimo fedha e ratil; bangʼe gichulo jatheth, mondo olesnegigo nyasaye, kendo gikulore piny mi gilame.
Some pour out gold from the bag, and weigh silver in the balance. They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a deity. They fall down— yes, they 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.
They bear it on their shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands there. It cannot move from its place. Yes, one may cry to it, yet it cannot answer. It cannot save him out of his trouble.
8 Paruru wachni, keturu e pachu kendo pareuru e chunyu un joma ongʼanyo.
“Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it to mind again, you 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: for I am God, and there is no other. 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.
I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done. I say: My counsel will stand, and I will do all that I please.
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.
I call a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yes, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have planned. I will also do it.
12 Winjauru, un joma chunygi tek kendo mabor gi adiera.
Sh'ma ·Hear obey· me, you stubborn-hearted, who 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 my righteousness near. It is not far off, and my salvation will not wait. I will grant salvation to Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], my glory to Israel [God prevails].
