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 ye 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 Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make mention, 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 from the Holy City they have been called, And on the God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name.
3 Ne akoro chon gik makoro osetimoregi, dhoga nohulogi mi namiyo gingʼere; bangʼe ne akelogi piyo magitimore.
The former things from that time I declared, And from my mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I have done, and it cometh.
4 Nimar nangʼeyo wich tekou; ka leche mag ngʼutu ochungʼ, kendo pat wengeu tek ka nyinyo.
From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass,
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 I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, 'Mine idol hath done them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command them.
6 Isewinjo wechegi, rang-gi ane duto. Donge ibiro yie kodgi? “Kochakore sani abiro nyisi gik manyien, gik mopondo mapok ingʼeyo.
Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not.
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, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, 'Lo, 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.
Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea, from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou dealest treacherously, And 'Transgressor from the belly,' One is crying to thee.
9 Agengʼo mirimba nikech nyinga awuon; kendo ahora mondo arit pakna, mondo omi kik atieku.
For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off.
10 Asepwodhou, to ok kaka ipwodho fedha, kendo asetemou gi masira mager ka mach.
Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have chosen thee 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 Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not.
12 “Winjauru, yaye joka Jakobo in Israel ma aseluongo: An e en; an ema okwongo kendo an ema ogik.
Hearken 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 hath founded earth, And My right hand stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto 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 did declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth 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 — I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought him in, And he hath made prosperous his way.
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 ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath 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 Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel, 'I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee to tread in the way thou goest.
18 Ka dine bed ni irito chikena, kwe mari domol mana ka aora, kendo timni makare digingre mana ka apaka mar nam.
O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river is thy peace, And thy 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 as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name 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, With a voice of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah 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 waste places, He hath caused them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters.
22 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Jaricho to onge gi kwe.”
There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked!
