Isaya 48
1 “Winjuru ma, yaye un joka Jakobo, miluongo ni jo-Israel kendo ma koth Juda, un ma ukwongʼoru gi nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo un muluongo nying Nyasach Israel, to ok e yo madiera kata makare;
“Hear this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are swearing by the Name of YHWH, And make mention of the God of Israel, Not in truth nor in righteousness.
2 un muluongoru ni weg dala maduongʼ maler kendo moketo genogi kuom Nyasach Israel, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, e nyinge:
For they have been called from the Holy City, And been supported on the God of Israel, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
3 Ne akoro chon gik makoro osetimoregi, dhoga nohulogi mi namiyo gingʼere; bangʼe ne akelogi piyo magitimore.
I declared the former things from that time, And they have gone forth from My mouth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it comes.
4 Nimar nangʼeyo wich tekou; ka leche mag ngʼutu ochungʼ, kendo pat wengeu tek ka nyinyo.
From My knowing that you are obstinate, And your neck—a sinew of iron, And your forehead—bronze,
5 Kuom mano, ne anyisou magi duto chon, kapok negitimore, to ne asewachonugi, mondo omi kik uwach niya, ‘Nyisechena manono ema otimo magi; kido mopa mara kod nyasacha mar mula ema oselerona ma?’
And from that time I declare [it] to you, Before it comes I have caused you to hear, Lest you say, My idol has done them, And my carved image, And my molten image commanded them.
6 Isewinjo wechegi, rang-gi ane duto. Donge ibiro yie kodgi? “Kochakore sani abiro nyisi gik manyien, gik mopondo mapok ingʼeyo.
You have heard, see the whole of it, And you, do you not declare? I have caused you to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that you did not know.
7 Gin gik mochwe sani, kendo mapok obudho; bende gin gik mapok iwinjo nyaka chil kawuono. Omiyo ok inyal wacho ni, ‘Ee, ne angʼeyogi.’
Now they have been produced and not from that time, Indeed, before the day, and you have not heard them, Lest you say, Behold, I have known them.
8 Chutho ok osewinjo kata mana ngʼeyo, nimar nyaka aa chon itu ne pok oyaw. To bende angʼeyo ni un gi mwandu kendo un oganda ma jopiem nyaka aa nywolu.
Indeed, you have not heard, Indeed, you have not known, Indeed, your ear has not opened from that time, For I have known you deal treacherously, And [are] a transgressor from the belly, One is crying to you.
9 Agengʼo mirimba nikech nyinga awuon; kendo ahora mondo arit pakna, mondo omi kik atieku.
I defer My anger for My Name’s sake, And [for] My praise I restrain for you, So as not to cut you off.
10 Asepwodhou, to ok kaka ipwodho fedha, kendo asetemou gi masira mager ka mach.
Behold, I have refined you, and not with silver, I have chosen you in a furnace of affliction.
11 Asetimo kamano kuom rito nyinga, mana kuom rito nyinga awuon, emomiyo asetimo ma. Ere kaka dayie mondo nyinga oyany? Ok ayie mondo duongʼ ma imiya, omi ngʼato machielo.”
For My sake, for My own sake, I do [it], For how is it defiled? And I do not give My glory to another.
12 “Winjauru, yaye joka Jakobo in Israel ma aseluongo: An e en; an ema okwongo kendo an ema ogik.
Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am] He, I [am] first, and I [am] last;
13 Lweta owuon ema ne oketo mise mar piny kendo lweta ma korachwich ema ne oyaro polo, ka aluongogi to giwuok kadiemo wangʼ.
Also, My hand has founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling to them, they stand together.
14 “Chokreuru un duto mondo uwinji: Ere kata achiel kuom nyiseche manono mosehulo gima biro timore? Oganda ma osiep Jehova Nyasaye ema nokel kum mare kuom Babulon; mirimbe nobed kuom jo-Babulon.
Be gathered, all of you, and hear, Who among them declared these things? YHWH has loved him, He does His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans.
15 An, kendo en An adier, ema asewacho kamano; ee, an ema aseluonge. Abiro kele, kendo enobed gi loch kuom gik mochano timo.
I have spoken, indeed, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he has made his way prosperous.
16 “Sud machiegni koda mondo iwinj wachni: “Pok apandonu gimoro nyaka ne achak wuoyo kodu; kendo e kinde mane magi timore, ne antie.” To koro Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto oseora, gi Roho mare.
Come near to Me, hear this, I have not spoken in secret from the beginning, From the time of its being, I [am] there, And now Lord YHWH has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
17 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jaresni, Ngʼat Maler mar Israel wacho: “An e Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi, mapuonji gima owinjore kodi kendo manyisi yo monego iluw.
Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I [am] your God YHWH, teaching you to profit, Causing you to tread in the way you go.
18 Ka dine bed ni irito chikena, kwe mari domol mana ka aora, kendo timni makare digingre mana ka apaka mar nam.
O that you had attended to My commands, Then your peace is as a river, And your righteousness as billows of the sea,
19 Nyikwayi dine obedo mana ka kwoyo, to nyithindi dobedo mangʼeny mokalo akwana; nying-gi ok nongʼad oko kendo ok noruch e wangʼa.”
And your seed is as sand, And the offspring of your bowels as gravel, His name would not be cut off nor destroyed before Me.”
20 Wuoguru Babulon, ringuru ua ir jo-Babulon! Landuru wachni kendo unyis ji duto ka ugoyo koko gimor. Landuru wachni e tungʼ piny niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osereso jotichne ma joka Jakobo.”
Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, Declare with a voice of singing, Cause this to be heard, Bring it forth to the end of the earth, Say, “YHWH has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
21 Kane otelonegi e thim, to riyo ne ok oloyogi; ee, nomiyo pi owuoknegi e lwanda ka bubni kane obaro lwanda.
And they have not thirsted in wastelands, He has caused them to go on, He has caused waters from a rock to flow to them, Indeed, he cleaves a rock, and waters flow.
22 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Jaricho to onge gi kwe.”
“There is no peace,” said YHWH, “for the wicked!”
