< Isaya 58 >

1 “Gouru koko matek, kendo kik udog chien. Tingʼuru dwondi malo mana ka turumbete. Nyisuru joga malongʼo ngʼanyo margi kendo richo mar od joka Jakobo nyisgiuru.
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Nimar pile ka pile gidwara, ginenore joma nigi chuny mar ngʼeyo yorena, mana ka gima gin oganda matimo gima kare, kendo mapok oweyo chike Nyasachgi. Gikwaya ngʼado bura makare, kendo ginenore joma dwaro ni Nyasaye osud machiegni kodgi.
Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
3 Giwacho niya, ‘Angʼo momiyo wasebedo ka waweyo chiemo to ok ine? Bende angʼo momiyo wasebedo ka wahore malich to ok ikwan ma ka gimoro?’ “To kata kamano e kindeu mar tweyo chiemo, utimo mana kaka udwaro, kendo ukonyoru gi jotichu e yo marach.
Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not? [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
4 Tweyo chiemo maru rumo mana gi dhawo kod chuny malit, bende miyo ugoru e kindu uwegi. Ok unyal tweyo chiemo kaka utimo e ndalogi kuparo ni lemou nowinj e polo malo.
Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Bende ma e kit tweyo chiemo ma aseyiero, ma ngʼato hore mana odiechiengʼ achiel kende? Koso en mana ka ngʼama okuyo kokulo wiye ka odundu mayamo yuko kata ngʼama onindo e pien gugru kotimo buru? Bende mano e gima uluongo ni tweyo chiemo ma en odiechiengʼ mowal ne Jehova Nyasaye.
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
6 “Donge ma e kit tweyo chiemo ma aseyiero: ni ugony tonde mag timbe maricho gi mag jok, mondo uwe joma otwe obed thuolo kendo utur jok duto?
[Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Donge en ni mondo upog chiembu ne joma kech kayo kendo urwak joma odhier maonge kuonde dak, bende ni mondo umi joma wuotho duk lewni, kendo kik upand wangʼu ne wedeu?
[Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Kutimo mago eka ler ma un-go nonen ka ler mar okinyi kendo chang maru nobi mapiyo; bende timu makare notel nyimu kendo teko gi duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nodongʼnu chien.
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
9 Omiyo iniluong Jehova Nyasaye kendo nodwoki; iniywagne mondo okonyi kendo nokoni ni: Eri antie. “Ka uweyo sando ji kendo uweyo achaya kod weche mag oyiem,
Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 kendo ka utuonoru mondo ukony joma kech kayo mi uchopo dwaro mar joma isando. Eka ler maru norieny e mudho kendo otieno maru nochal mana ka dier odiechiengʼ tir.
And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness [be] as the noonday:
11 Jehova Nyasaye notelnu ndalo duto, obiro chopo dwarou e piny motwo, kendo motimo ongoro mi enomi dendu bed mojingʼ. Unuchal mana ka puodho mayudo pi maber, kendo ka soko ma pige ok rum.
And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 Jou ema nochak oger kuondeu mane omukore, kendo gini gedi ewi mise machon mane oketi, mi noluongi ni Jager Ohinga mane Omukore kendo ni Jalos Yore Matindo mane ji odakie.
And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
13 “Ka ok uketho odiechiengʼ mar Sabato, kendo utimo dwarou e odiechienga maler, ka uwacho ni Sabato en chiengʼ mor, kendo mowal ni Jehova Nyasaye kumiye luor, ma ok utimo gik ma un ema udwaro, kendo ka uweyo wecheu manono,
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:
14 eka unubed moil kuom Jehova Nyasaye, mi oteru ewi piny kama otingʼore, bende nomiu chiemo kar mwandu mane osingore ne Jakobo kwaru.” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
