Isaya 57
1 Joma kare tho, to onge ngʼama wachno chando e chunye, joma ogeno kuom Nyasaye bende tho, to onge ngʼama dewo kendo joma kare igolo mondo kik richo yudgi.
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from before the evil.
2 Joma timbegi ni kare yudo kwe; kendo giyudo yweyo ka ginindo e liel.
He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, [each one] that hath walked in his uprightness.
3 “To un, biuru un yawuot jojuogi, ma koth terruok kod chode!
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
4 En ngʼa ma ujaro? En ngʼa mutingʼorene malo kendo kumilone leu? Donge un koth jonjore ma jo-miriambo?
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom do ye make a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 Uoworu gi gombo manono ka un e tiend yiend ober kod yiende mamoko motimo otiep; kendo kanyo ema uwangʼoe nyithindu ka misengini e holni kendo e kuonde rogo.
inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Kar dak mar nyisecheni ni e kind hoho motimo lwendni mapoth, kuno ema ogandau nitie. Ee, kuondego ema usechiwoe misengini miolo piny, kod misengini mag cham. Kaluwore gi gigi duto, bende anyalo weyonu?
Among the smooth [stones] of the torrent is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be comforted myself as to these things?
7 Iseloso kitanda mari kama otingʼore gi malo; kanyo ema isechiwoe misenginigi.
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither didst thou go up to offer sacrifice.
8 E tok dhoutu kod ewi sirni mag dhoutu useketoe kido mar nyisecheu manono. Adier useweya mabor muchalo nyiri molonyore duk kendo unindo e kitanda malach ma useloso; usetimo winjruok gi joma uhero kitendinigi kendo ne uneno dugegi.
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for apart from me, thou hast uncovered thyself, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and hast made agreement with them; thou lovedst their bed, thou sawest their nakedness.
9 Ne uterone ruoth Molek mo zeituni kod modhi moko mangʼwe ngʼar. Ne uoro jombetre mau e piny mabor; to gikone ne utundo mana e tho owuon! (Sheol h7585)
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst multiply thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers afar off, and didst debase thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Kata nobedo ni timbegi mamono duto nooli kamano; to ne ok inyal wacho ni, ‘Gionge tich.’ Nibedo gi teko kendo omiyo chunyi ne ok onyosore.
Thou wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It is of no avail. Thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not sick [of it].
11 “En ngʼatno ma chunyu ogeno ahinya kendo uluoro, momiyo usebedona jo-miriambo, kendo ok usepara kata mana paro wechena e chunyu? Koso en nikech uneno ni aselingʼ ahinya, momiyo ok useluora?
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my peace, and thou fearest me not?
12 Abiro nyiso ayanga timbeu makare kod tijeu, kendo ok ginikelnu konyruok.
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; and they shall not profit thee.
13 We ane nyisecheni manonogo okonyi sa ma inie chandruok! Yamo mafuto biro yweyogi oko duto, kata mana muya matin nono nokudhgi matergi mabor. To ngʼama oloka kar pondone nokaw piny, mi goda maler nobed mwandune.”
When thou criest, let them that are gathered by thee deliver thee! But a wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall take them; but he that putteth his trust in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain.
14 Kendo enowach niya: “Buguru yo, bugeuru kendo ulose maber! Goluru gik madichwany joga e yo.”
And it shall be said, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.
15 Nimar ma e gima Jal Man Malo Moloyo ma en Jal modak nyaka chiengʼ, ma nyinge ler wacho, “Adak kama ler man malo, kaachiel gi ngʼat mofwenyo richone kendo man-gi chuny mobolore, mondo aduog chuny ngʼat moboloreno kendo ajiw chuny ngʼat mofwenyo richone.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, and whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy [place], and with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 Ok anabed ka adhawo ndalo duto, kata bedo gi ich wangʼ kinde duto, nimar katimo kamano, to chuny dhano biro nyosore e nyima, ma en muya mane aketo kuom dhano.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
17 Ne akecho gi timbene mamono ma ok rum, ne amiye kum, kendo apandone wangʼa ka an-gi mirima, to kata kamano nomedo mana dhiyo nyime gi timbene mamonogo.
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart.
18 Aseneno yorene to kata kamano abiro change; abiro nyise yo kendo aho chunye;
I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.
19 ka achiwo wende pak e dho jo-Israel man-gi kuyo. Kwe, kwe, ne jogo man machiegni kod man maboyo. Kendo abiro changogi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him [that is] afar off, and to him [that is] nigh, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.
20 To joricho chalo gi nam moduwore, ma ok nyal bedo gi kwe, ma apaka mage gingore kendo kelo chwodho.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Nyasacha wacho niya, “Onge kwe ne joricho.”
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
