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 upright perish, and no one lays it to heart. Men of cheshed ·loving-kindness· are taken away, and no one considers that the upright is taken away from the evil.
2 Joma timbegi ni kare yudo kwe; kendo giyudo yweyo ka ginindo e liel.
He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 “To un, biuru un yawuot jojuogi, ma koth terruok kod chode!
“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
4 En ngʼa ma ujaro? En ngʼa mutingʼorene malo kendo kumilone leu? Donge un koth jonjore ma jo-miriambo?
Whom do you mock? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Are not you children of disobedience, and offspring 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.
you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill 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 valley is your portion; they, they are your lot. You have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Iseloso kitanda mari kama otingʼore gi malo; kanyo ema isechiwoe misenginigi.
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. You also went up there 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.
You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts; for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me, and have gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them. You 'ahav ·affectionately loved· what you saw on their bed.
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)
You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and degraded yourself even to Sheol ·Place of the dead·. (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.
You were wearied with the length of your ways; yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’ You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you were not faint.
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?
“Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven’t I held my peace for a long time, and you don’t fear me?
12 Abiro nyiso ayanga timbeu makare kod tijeu, kendo ok ginikelnu konyruok.
I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
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 you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you; but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away: but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”
14 Kendo enowach niya: “Buguru yo, bugeuru kendo ulose maber! Goluru gik madichwany joga e yo.”
He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Remove the stumbling-block 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 says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
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 forever, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom 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.
I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness, and struck him; I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding 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: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
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 who is far off and to him who is near,” says Adonai; “and I will heal them.”
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 divorced sea; for it can’t rest, and its waters dirge up mire and mud.
21 Nyasacha wacho niya, “Onge kwe ne joricho.”
“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
