Isaya 51

1 Winjauru, un mumanyo tim makare kendo udwaro Jehova Nyasaye: Ngʼi aneuru lwanda mane ogolue, ranganeuru kama ne okuny mogolue;

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look to the rock [whence] ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit [whence] ye are digged.

2 paruru Ibrahim wuonu kod Sara mane onywolou. Ne en mana ngʼat achiel kende kane aluonge kendo nagwedhe mi aloke oganda maduongʼ.

Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah [that] bore you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

3 Jehova Nyasaye biro hoyo chuny Sayun adier; kendo obiro bedo gi kech kuom kuondene mokethore; enolok kuondene motimo ongoro chal ka Eden, kendo kuondene modongʼ gunda chal ka puoth Jehova Nyasaye. Mor gi ilo kaachiel gi erokamano gi wer mamit noyud kuome.

For the LORD will comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

4 Winjauru un joga, chikuru itu un ogandana: Abiro golo chik kendo bucha makare nobed ler ne ogendini.

Hearken to me, my people; and give ear to me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

5 Adiera mara sudo machiegni piyo, warruokna chiegni, kendo abiro ngʼado bura makare ne ogendini. Joma odak e dho nembe biro ngʼiya ka gin gi geno ni abiro resogi gi tekona.

My righteousness [is] near; my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on my arm shall they trust.

6 Tingʼ wangʼi malo ingʼi polo, bende rang piny gie polo, nikech polo nolal nono mana ka iro, to piny bende biro ti mana ka law kendo oganda modak e iye notho mana ka lwangʼni. To resruok makelo nosiki nyaka chiengʼ kendo adiera mara ok norum.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall become old like a garment, and its inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

7 Winjauru un joma ongʼeyo tim makare, un oganda mondiko chikena e chunyu: Kik uluor weche midiro mag dhano kata luoro ayany mag ji.

Hearken to me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart [is] my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

8 Nimar olwenda biro chamogi duto ka law; kendo kudni nochamgi mana ka yie rombe. To adiera mara nosiki manyaka chiengʼ, kendo resruok makelo ok norum e kind tienge gi tienge.

For the moth shall eat them like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.

9 Aa malo, Aa malo! Jiw badi motegno, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; aa malo kendo ijiwri, mana kaka ne ijiwori chon e ndalo mokadho. Donge in ema nitieko ondiek nam miluongo ni Rahab, mingʼado matindo tindo?

Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. [Art] thou not that which hath cut Rahab, [and] wounded the dragon?

10 Donge in ema nomiyo nam oduono, ma gin pige mano chokore kuonde matut, kendo niloso yo e kind nam matut mondo joma ne ireso ongʼadi kadhi loka cha?

[Art] thou not that which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?

11 Joma Jehova Nyasaye osereso nodwogi. Ginidonji e dala Sayun ka giwer; mor mochwere nobed kuomgi. Ginibed gi mor kod ilo, kendo kuyo gi parruok nolal nono kuomgi.

Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

12 “An, kendo en An e Jal mahoyo chunyu. Angʼo momiyo uluoro yawuot dhano adhana matho, kendo maner mana ka lum,

I, [even] I, [am] he that comforteth you: who [art] thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man [that] shall die, and of the son of man [who] shall be made [as] grass;

13 momiyo wiwu owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Jachwechu, Jal mane oyaro polo kendo oketo mise mar piny, momiyo udak gi kihondko pile, nikech kum muyudo kuom ngʼama sandou, kendo oikore mar tiekou. Jal masandouno, ere gima geroneno ditim?

And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where [is] the fury of the oppressor?

14 Joma ni e twech ma luoro omako ibiro gony machiegni; ok ginitho e kuondegi mag twech kendo ok ginichand chiemo.

The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.

15 Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mamiyo Nam gingore mi apaka wuo, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge.

But I [am] the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.

16 Aseketo wechena e dhogi kendo aumi gi tipo mar lweta, an ema ne ayaro polo maketo kare, mi aketo mise mar piny kendo awachone jo-Sayun ni, ‘Un e joga.’”

And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shade of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou [art] my people.

17 Aa malo, Aa malo! Chiew, yaye Jerusalem, in misemetho e kikombe mar mirima mager, moa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye, kendo isemadho kikombe mamero ji milungʼo nyaka duro.

Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drank at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drank the dregs of the cup of trembling, [and] wrung [them] out.

18 Kuom yawuowi duto mane onywolo onge moro amora mane nyalo taye kata mane nyalo telone komako lwete.

[There is] none to guide her among all the sons [whom] she hath brought forth; neither [is there any] that taketh her by the hand of all the sons [that] she hath brought up.

19 Masiche moluwore osemaki ma en kethruok kod tieki; kech kod ligangla, en ngʼa madihoyi kata duogo chunyi.

These two [things] have come to thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?

20 Yawuoti osepodho, giriere piny e yore mana ka mwanda mogengʼne ei obadho. Giyudo kum mager moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo chwat mar Nyasache.

Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

21 Kuom mano winj ma, in miseyudo masira midoko ngʼama omer to ok gi kongʼo.

Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:

22 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma en Nyasachi machwako joge e bura wacho, Ne, asegolo oko e lweti kikombe mane miyo ithembo, bende ok inichak imethi e kikombe mar mirimba kendo.

Thus saith thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God [that] pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of trembling, [even] the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

23 Anaket kikombe e lwet joma sandou mane wacho ni, “Nind piny mondo wawuoth kuomi. Kendo niloko die ngʼeyi ka yo miwuothoe.”

But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; who have said to thy soul, Prostrate thyself, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
