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, O barren, she hath not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She hath not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one, said Jehovah.
2 Ket kar hembi obed maduongʼ, yar ragengʼ mar hembi obed malach, kendo kik idog chien; tud tondene obed maboyo bende igur loyene motegno.
Enlarge the place of thy tent, And the curtains of thy tabernacles they stretch out, Restrain not — lengthen thy cords, And thy pins make strong.
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 right and left thou breakest forth, And thy seed doth nations possess,
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.
And desolate cities they cause to be inhabited. Fear not, for thou art not ashamed, Nor blush, for thou art not confounded, For the shame of thy youth thou forgettest, And the reproach of thy widowhood Thou dost not remember any more.
5 Nimar Jachwechni e chwori, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge midendego, Jal Maler mar Israel e Jaresni; iluonge ni Nyasach piny ngima.
For thy Maker [is] thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, And thy Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, 'God of all the earth,' He is called.
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, as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Called thee hath Jehovah, Even a youthful wife when she is refused, said thy God.
7 “Kuom kinde manok asejwangʼi, to koro abiro duogi ira gi kech mangʼeny.
In a small moment I have forsaken thee, And in great mercies I do gather thee,
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 overflowing wrath I hid my face [for] a moment from thee, And in kindness age-during I have loved thee, Said thy Redeemer — Jehovah!
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, the waters of Noah [is] this to Me, In that I have sworn — the waters of Noah Do not pass again over the earth — So I have sworn, Wrath is not upon thee, Nor rebuke against thee.
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.
For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace removeth not, Said hath thy loving one — Jehovah.
11 “Yaye dala maduongʼ misando, ma ahiti oyiecho maonge ngʼama hoyo, abiro geri gi kite motegno, kendo miseni anager gi gik mabeyo.
O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Lo, I am laying with cement thy stones, And have founded thee with sapphires,
12 Anager kuondeni mag gige lweny gi rubi, dhorangeyeni to naketie kite ma nengogi tek, kendo ohingani naketie kite mabeyo.
And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight,
13 Nyithindi duto nopuonj gi Jehova Nyasaye kendo ginibed gi kwe maduongʼ.
And all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant [is] the peace of thy sons.
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 thou establishest thyself, Be far from oppression, for thou fearest not, And from ruin, for it cometh not near unto thee.
15 Kapo ni ngʼato omonji, to ok nobed ni an ema aore; to ngʼato angʼata momonji nochiwre e lweti.
Lo, he doth diligently assemble without My desire, Who hath assembled near thee? By thee he falleth!
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;
Lo, I — I have prepared an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have prepared a 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 formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness from me, an affirmation of Jehovah!
