Isaya 54
1 Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Wer, yaye in dhako ma migumba, in ma ok inywol nyithindo; wer matek, ka igoyo koko gi ilo, in mane muoch ok okayi; nimar dhako ma migumba nobed gi nyithindo, mangʼeny moloyo dhako man-gi dichwo.
“Sing, you barren woman, you who have not given birth; break into joyful singing and cry aloud, you who have never been in birth labor. For the children of the desolate one are more than the children of the married woman,” says Yahweh.
2 Ket kar hembi obed maduongʼ, yar ragengʼ mar hembi obed malach, kendo kik idog chien; tud tondene obed maboyo bende igur loyene motegno.
“Make your tent larger and spread your tent curtains farther out, unsparingly; lengthen your ropes and strengthen your stakes.
3 Nimar ibiro medori malach kichomo bat korachwich kendo kidhi bat koracham; ogandani noma ogendini pinjegi mi dagie e mier madongo makoro owe gundini.
For you will spread out to the right hand and to the left, and your descendants will conquer nations and resettle desolate cities.
4 “Kik ibed maluor; nikech ok iniyud wichkuot. Kik ibed gi luoro mar yudo wichkuot; nikech ok nojari. Wiyi nowil gi wichkuot mane iyudo ka in nyako, kendo ok inichak ipar chandruok mane ineno kane ibedo dhako ma chwore otho.
Do not fear for you will not be ashamed, nor be discouraged for you will not be disgraced; you will forget the shame of your youth and the disgrace of your abandonment.
5 Nimar Jachwechni e chwori, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge midendego, Jal Maler mar Israel e Jaresni; iluonge ni Nyasach piny ngima.
For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of the whole earth.
6 Jehova Nyasaye nodwogi ire, mana ka dhako manoyudo osejwangʼ, kendo ma chunye nigi lit ahinya, en dhako mane okend ka nyako ngili kae to bangʼe ojwangʼ,” Nyasachi ema owacho mano.
For Yahweh has called you back as a wife abandoned and grieved in spirit, like a woman married young and rejected,” says your God.
7 “Kuom kinde manok asejwangʼi, to koro abiro duogi ira gi kech mangʼeny.
“For a short time I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will gather you.
8 E kinde mane an gi mirima mangʼeny ne apandoni wangʼa kuom ndalo manok, to koro gi ngʼwono mochwere an-gi kech kuomi,” Jehova Nyasaye ma Jaresni ema owacho.
In a flood of anger I hid my face from you momentarily; but with everlasting covenant faithfulness I will have mercy on you— says Yahweh, the one who rescues you.
9 “Kuoma to ma chalona mana gi ndalo mag Nowa kane akwongʼora ni pi mane oimo piny ok nochak obedie kendo. Omiyo koro asekwongʼora ni mirima ok nochak omaka kodu kendo, bende ok anachak adhawnu.
For this is like the waters of Noah to me: as I swore that the waters of Noah would never again pass over the earth, so have I sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
10 Kata ka gode biro yiengni, kendo gode matindo ibiro muki, to herana kuomu mosiko ok noyiengi, bende singruokna mar kwe ok nogol,” Jehova Nyasaye man-gi kech kuomu owacho.
Though the mountains may fall and the hills be shaken, yet my steadfast love will not turn away from you, nor will my covenant of peace be shaken— says Yahweh, who has mercy on you.
11 “Yaye dala maduongʼ misando, ma ahiti oyiecho maonge ngʼama hoyo, abiro geri gi kite motegno, kendo miseni anager gi gik mabeyo.
Afflicted one, storm-driven and uncomforted one, look, I will set your pavement in turquoise, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 Anager kuondeni mag gige lweny gi rubi, dhorangeyeni to naketie kite ma nengogi tek, kendo ohingani naketie kite mabeyo.
I will make your pinnacles of rubies and your gates of sparkling stones, and your outer wall of beautiful stones.
13 Nyithindi duto nopuonj gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo ginibed gi kwe maduongʼ.
Then all your children will be taught by Yahweh; and the peace of your children will be great.
14 Ibiro geri e tim makare: Ok nichak ine tij achuna; kendo onge gima iniluor. Bwok maduongʼ ibiro ter mabor kode; kendo ok ginisud machiegni kodi.
In righteousness you will be established, and you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near to you.
15 Kapo ni ngʼato omonji, to ok nobed ni an ema aore; to ngʼato angʼata momonji nochiwre e lweti.
Look, if anyone stirs up trouble, it will not be from me; anyone who stirs up trouble with you will fall in defeat.
16 “To ne, an ema ne achweyo jatheth mula, machwako chuma e mach, kendo loso gige lweny makare ne tijno. An ema asechweyo jaketh mabiro kelonegi chandruok;
See, I have created the craftsman, who blows the burning coals and forges weapons as his work, and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
17 onge gige lweny molosi ne in mano hinyi, kendo inilo buche duto modonjnie. Ma e pok ma jotich Jehova Nyasaye yudo, kendo ma bende e gweth ma asemiyou,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; and you will condemn everyone who accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their vindication from me—this is Yahweh's declaration.”
