Isaya 52
1 Aa malo, Aa malo, yaye Sayun, jiw badi motegno! Rwak lepi mabeyo, yaye Jerusalem dala maduongʼ maler. Nimar joma ok oter nyangu kendo mogak, ok nochak odonji e Jerusalem kendo.
Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
2 Tengʼ buru momaki oko; aa malo kendo ibed piny e kom duongʼ, yaye Jerusalem. Gony nyoroche motwe ngʼuti, yaye in Nyar Sayun manie twech.
Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Nongʼiewi maonge chudo moro, omiyo ibiro wari ma ok ochulie pesa.”
This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Mokwongo joga nodhi Misri mondo odagie, bangʼe jo-Asuria nosandogi.
This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
5 “To koro en angʼo manenoni? “Joga okaw nono maonge gima ochul kendo joma tiyogi koro goyonegi siboi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Kendo kinde duto giyanyo nyinga.
What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
6 Kuom mano joga biro ngʼeyo nyinga; kendo odiechiengno giningʼe maber ni an, ema ne asewacho wechegi chon. Adier, en An.”
So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
7 Mano kaka en gima ber neno tiend joote maringo ewi gode kakelo wach maber, mar kwe, mar resruok, kod mar warruok kagiwachone Sayun niya, “Nyasachu olocho!”
What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Winjuru! Jorito mau mondo okog matek; giduto gikok nikech gimor. Ka Jehova Nyasaye noduog Sayun, to ginine lochne ayanga.
The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
9 Weruru matek gimor un duto, un kuonde mokethore mag Jerusalem, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osehoyo chuny joge, osereso Jerusalem.
Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
10 Jehova Nyasaye biro rieyo bade maler ka ogendini duto neno, kendo tungʼ piny ka piny none warruok mar Nyasachwa.
The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
11 Wuoguru, wuoguru, auru kanyo! Kik umul gima ochido! Wuoguru kuome mondo ubed maler, un mutingʼo gik ler mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
12 To ok unuwuogi kurikni kata ka uringo; nimar Jehova Nyasaye notel nyimu, ee Nyasach Israel bende nodongʼnu chien.
But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
13 Ne, jatichna biro tiyo gi rieko; enotingʼe malo moloyo kimiye duongʼ mangʼongo.
Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
14 Mana kaka ji mangʼeny nobwok konene, kite ne olokore makoro ne ok ochal ka dhano, kendo kite nokethore mopogore gi kit dhano,
But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
15 omiyo ogendini mangʼeny nobwogi kendo ruodhi nolingʼ thi nikech en. Nimar gik mane ok owachnegi, gibiro neno, kendo gik mapok giwinjo, nodonjnegi.
He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
