Isaya 47
1 In Nyar Babulon Mangili bed piny e buru; bed piny e lowo kionge loch in nyar jo-Babulon. Ok nochak oluongi ni nyako ma dende yom kendo ma jaber.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For thou shall no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Kawuru nyiponge mondo ureg-go mogo; goluru leso ma uumogo wengeu. Ngʼwanuru lepu mondo ungʼadgo aore.
Take the millstones, and grind meal. Remove thy veil, strip off the train, uncover the leg, pass through the rivers.
3 Dugu biro neno kendo wichkuot maru nonenre e lela. Abiro chulo kuor; kendo onge ngʼama notony.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.
4 Jareswa, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge, en e Jal Maler mar Israel.
Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
5 Bed mokuyo kendo ilingʼ thi, in nyar Babulon; nimar ok nochak oluong ni ruoth madhako mar pinje.
Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou shall no more be called The mistress of kingdoms.
6 Kane iya owangʼ gi joga to ne ajwangʼogi mi aweyogi ka gima ok gin ogandana awuon; ne achiwogi e lweti, kendo ne ok ikechogi. To bende ne iketo tingʼ mapek nyaka ne joma oti.
I was angry with my people. I profaned my inheritance, and gave them into thy hand. Thou showed them no mercy. Upon the aged thou have laid thy yoke very heavily.
7 Ne iwacho niya, Abiro dhi nyime kaka ruoth madhako nyaka chiengʼ! To ne ok iparo gigi maber bende ne ok igo machiemo kuom gik manyalo timore.
And thou said, I shall be mistress forever, so that thou did not lay these things to thy heart, nor remembered the latter end of it.
8 “Koro lingʼ thi, in ngʼat moowre marach makawore ni nigi ngima mamalo, kendo iwacho e chunyi iwuon ni, ‘An ema antie kendo onge moro ma dirom koda, ok nachal gi dhako ma chwore otho kata nyithinda ok notho.’
Now therefore hear this, thou who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of sons.
9 Gik moko ariyogi nochopni, e sa machwok kende e odiechiengʼ achiel: nyithindi notho kendo inibed dhako ma chwore otho. Masichegi duto nochopni, kendo timbe ajuoke gi ris miritorigo ok nokonyi.
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day: the loss of sons, and widowhood. In their full measure they shall come upon thee, in the multitude of thy sorceries, and the great abundance of thine enchantments.
10 Isegeno kuom timbeni mamono kendo isewacho e chunyi ni, ‘Onge ngʼama nena.’ Ngʼeyoni gi riekoni osewuondi kiwacho e chunyi ni, ‘An kenda ema antie, onge machielo.’
For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.
11 Masira biro maki, mi ok ningʼe kaka digole kuomi. Adier kwongʼ nogore kuomi ma ok initieki gi misango, ee chandruok maduongʼ ma ok inyal neno sani biro choponi.
Therefore evil shall come upon thee. Thou shall not know the dawning of it. And mischief shall fall upon thee. Thou shall not be able to put it away. And desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou know not.
12 “Med dhiyo nyime gi timbegi mag jwok kod timbegi mangʼeny mag ajuoke, misebedo kitimo nyaka ia e nyathi; mondo waneane ka digikonyi kata dibwog ji.
Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou have labored from thy youth, if so be thou shall be able to profit, if so be thou may prevail.
13 Rieko duto mosengʼadni osemana tieki! Koro we jokorgigo obi, jogo makoro wach dwe ka dwe karango sulwe, weyane giresi e gik mabiro timoreni.
Thou are wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from the things that shall come upon thee.
14 Adiera gichalo mana tiangʼ, mach biro wangʼogi duto. Ok ginyal resore kata gin giwegi e teko mar mach. Kaonge makaa kata mach minyalo hoyo.
Behold, they shall be as stubble. The fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It shall not be a coal to warm at, nor a fire to sit before.
15 Mago duto e gik magi nyalo timoni kuom gik ma isechandorine ka itiyo matek nyaka aa tin-ni. Moro ka moro nokwangʼ, kochiko yore owuon kendo onge ngʼama noresi.”
Thus shall be the things to thee, in which thou have labored. Those who have trafficked with thee from thy youth shall wander each one to his quarter. There shall be none to save thee.
