< Isaya 56 >

1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Ngʼaduru bura makare kendo utim gima kare, nikech warruokna osekayo machiegni kendo timna makare chiegni fwenyore.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Observe ye justice, And execute righteousness, —For near, is My salvation, to come in, and My righteousness to be revealed.
2 Ogwedh ngʼat matimo ma, mangʼado bura makare kendo ngʼatno marito chiengʼ Sabato ka ok odwanye, kendo ok oyie lwete mulo gik mogak.”
How happy the frail man, who doeth this! Yea the son of the earth-born who firmly graspeth it! Keeping the sabbath lest he profane it, and Keeping his own hand from doing any wrong.
3 Kik ngʼat ma japiny moro moseyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye wachi ni, “Jehova Nyasaye biro kweda e kind ogandane adier.” Kendo ngʼato angʼata mabwoch kik wachi ni, “An mana ka yien motwo.”
And let not the son of the foreigner, who hath joined himself unto Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh, will separate, me from his people, Neither let the eunuch, say, Lo! I, am a tree dried up!
4 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Joma bwoch, morito Sabato mara, mayiero timo gima miya mor, kendo morito singruokna,
For thus, saith Yahweh—Of the eunuchs, Who shall keep my sabbaths, And choose what I delight in, —And lay firm hold on my covenant,
5 ei hekalu mara, anami nying-gi bedo rapar moloyo bedo gi yawuowi kod nyiri; bende anamigi nying ma ok norum nyaka chiengʼ.
That I will give unto them—In my house, And within my walls, A sign and a name, better than sons and daughters, —A name age-abiding, will I give him, which shall not be cut off.
6 Kendo jopinje mamoko mane oseyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye katiyone kohero nyinge, kendo kalame, jogo duto marito chiengʼ Sabato ma ok odwanye kendo morito singruokna,
And, as for the sons of the foreigner—Who have joined themselves unto Yahweh To wait upon him, and To love the name of Yahweh, To become his for servants, —Every one who keepeth the sabbath, lest he profane it. And who, layeth firm hold on my covenant,
7 gin duto anakelgi e goda maler mi anamigi mor e oda mar lamo. Chiwo mag-gi mag misengini miwangʼo pep kod misengini mamoko nayiego e kendona mar misango; kendo oda noluongi ni od lamo mar ogendini duto.”
Surely I will bring them into my holy mountain And make them joyful in my house of prayer, Their ascending-offerings and their sacrifices, being accepted upon mine altar, —For, my house, a house of prayer, shall be called, for all the peoples!
8 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ma en Jal ma choko jo-Israel duto, mane oter e twech wacho niya, “Pod abiro choko jomoko makel irgi, kaweyo mago mosechoki.”
Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, Who is gathering the outcasts of Israel: —Yet others, will I gather unto him Besides his own gathered ones.
9 Biuru un le manie thim, biuru mondo utiek gik moko un le mag bungu duto!
All ye beasts of the field! come ye to devour, All ye beasts in the forest.
10 Jorito mag Israel muofni, giduto gionge rieko; gichalo mana gi guogi mamuol, ma ok nyal giyo; kendo riere piny mi lek, nikech gihero nindo.
His watchmen, are blind None of them, know, All of them, are dumb dogs, they cannot bark, —Dreaming, sleeping, loving to slumber.
11 Gin guogi ma dhogi mit kendo ok giyiengʼ. Gin jokwath maonge winjo; giduto gibaro ka giluwo yoregi giwegi, kendo moro ka moro dwaro gima kelone ohala ne en owuon.
And, the dogs, are greedy they know not to be satisfied. Yea, they, are shepherds who know not to discern, —All of them unto their own way, have turned, Every man to his unjust gain, on every hand:
12 Giwacho e kindgi giwegi ni, “Biuru mondo wakaw divai! Wamadhuru kongʼo mi wamer! Kendo kiny nochal mana gi kawuono, to bende onyalo bedo maber moloyo.”
Come ye! I will fetch wine Let us fill ourselves with strong drink, —And like this day, shall, to-morrow be—Great beyond measure!
