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.
Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem — the Holy City; For enter no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean.
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 thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion.
3 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Nongʼiewi maonge chudo moro, omiyo ibiro wari ma ok ochulie pesa.”
For thus said Jehovah: 'For nought ye have been sold, And not by money are ye redeemed.'
4 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Mokwongo joga nodhi Misri mondo odagie, bangʼe jo-Asuria nosandogi.
For thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'To Egypt My people went down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur — for nought he hath oppressed it.
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.
And now, what — to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah, That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling, — an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My name is despised.
6 Kuom mano joga biro ngʼeyo nyinga; kendo odiechiengno giningʼe maber ni an, ema ne asewacho wechegi chon. Adier, en An.”
Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold 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!”
How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings, Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, 'Reigned hath thy God.'
8 Winjuru! Jorito mau mondo okog matek; giduto gikok nikech gimor. Ka Jehova Nyasaye noduog Sayun, to ginine lochne ayanga.
The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice, together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in Jehovah's turning back [to] Zion.
9 Weruru matek gimor un duto, un kuonde mokethore mag Jerusalem, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osehoyo chuny joge, osereso Jerusalem.
Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem.
10 Jehova Nyasaye biro rieyo bade maler ka ogendini duto neno, kendo tungʼ piny ka piny none warruok mar Nyasachwa.
Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The salvation of our God.
11 Wuoguru, wuoguru, auru kanyo! Kik umul gima ochido! Wuoguru kuome mondo ubed maler, un mutingʼo gik ler mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the weapons of Jehovah.
12 To ok unuwuogi kurikni kata ka uringo; nimar Jehova Nyasaye notel nyimu, ee Nyasach Israel bende nodongʼnu chien.
For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not on, For going before you [is] Jehovah, And gathering you [is] the God of Israel!
13 Ne, jatichna biro tiyo gi rieko; enotingʼe malo moloyo kimiye duongʼ mangʼongo.
Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been lifted up, And hath been very high.
14 Mana kaka ji mangʼeny nobwok konene, kite ne olokore makoro ne ok ochal ka dhano, kendo kite nokethore mopogore gi kit dhano,
As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man his appearance, And his form by sons of men.)
15 omiyo ogendini mangʼeny nobwogi kendo ruodhi nolingʼ thi nikech en. Nimar gik mane ok owachnegi, gibiro neno, kendo gik mapok giwinjo, nodonjnegi.
So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they have seen, And that which they had not heard they have understood!
