Isaya 55
1 “Biuru un duto ma riyo oloyo, biuru mondo umodh pi, adier biuru un ma uonge pesa, mondo ungʼiew kendo uchiem! Biuru ungʼiew divai gi chak nono maonge chudo.
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Angʼo momiyo utiyo gi pesa kungʼiewo gik ma ok chiemo kendo utiyo matek gi luchi ne gima ok yiengʼu. Winjuru, ee winjauru kendo ucham gima ber, mi unubed gi mwandu mar chuny.
Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for [that which] satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Chik iti kendo ibi ira, winj gima awacho mondo chunyi obed gi kwe. Abiro loso singruok mosiko kod herana mar adier mane asingone Daudi.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David.
4 To ne, asemiyo obedo janeno e kind ogendini, kendo asekete obedo jatelo mar ogendini.
Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
5 Chutho iniluong pinjeruodhi mane ok ingʼeyo mabi iri, kendo pinjeruodhi mane ok ongʼeyi malongʼo nobi iri, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi, Jal Maler mar Israel osewiri kod duongʼne.”
Behold, thou shalt call a nation [that] thou knowest not, and nations [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
6 Dwar Jehova Nyasaye ka pod thuolo nitie minyalo yudego; chutho luonge kapod en machiegni.
Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Ngʼama timbene achach mondo owe yorene, kendo ngʼama parone opongʼ gi timbe richo mondo owe. Onego oduog ir Jehova Nyasaye, kendo enobed gi ngʼwono kuome mi enowene richone.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 “Nimar parona ok e paroni bende yorena ok e yoreni,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 “Mana kaka polo bor gi piny e kaka bende yorena boyo maloyo mau, kendo e kaka parona ohewo parou.
For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Mana kaka koth gi pe lwar koa e polo, kendo ok dog nono ka ok omiyo piny ngʼich, ma cham twi kendo nyag kothe ne jachwoyo, kendo cham ne jachiemo,
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 e kaka wachna mawuok e dhoga, ok noduogna nono ka ok otiyo tije, to nyaka ochop dwarona, kendo otiek tijno mane omiyo aore.
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
12 Unuwuog kuno gi mor kendo notelnu gi kwe, gode madongo gi matindo nower matek e nyime kendo yiende duto manie bungu nopam gi ilo.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap [their] hands.
13 Kuonde ma yande pedo ema nitie, nonyag olemo mabeyo mag yiend obudo, kendo kar kudho ema ochwoga mamit nodongie. Mano nomi Jehova Nyasaye huma maduongʼ, to gi ranyisi manyaka chiengʼ ma ok nomuki.”
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign [that] shall not be cut off.
