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, do not spare, Like a horn, lift high thy voice, —And declare To my people, their transgression, and To 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, me—day by day, do they seek, And in the knowledge of my ways, they delight, —Like a nation that had done righteousness, And the justice of their God, had not forsaken They ask of me the just regulations, In approaching God, they delight.
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 and thou hast not seen? Humbled our soul, and thou wouldst take no note? Lo! in the day of your fast, ye take pleasure, But all your toilers, ye drive on!
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.
Lo! for strife and contention, ye fast, And to smite with the fist of lawlessness, —Ye shall not fast as to-day, To cause to be heard on high your voice!
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.
Like this, shall the fast be that I choose, A day for the son of earth to humble his soul? Is it to bow down as a rush his head, And sackcloth and ashes, to spread out? Is it, this, thou wilt call a fast, Or a day of acceptance with Yahweh?
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 must ever choose—To unbind the tight cords of lawlessness, To unloose the bands of the yoke, —and To let the crushed go free, and That every yoke, ye tear off?
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 break unto the hungry, thy bread, And the thrust-out oppressed, that thou bring into a home, —When thou seest one naked, that thou cover him, And from thine own flesh, shalt not hide thyself?
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 break forth, as the dawn, thy light, And thy new flesh shall speedily grow, —Then shall go before thee, thy righteousness, the glory of Yahweh shall bring up thy rear:
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 Yahweh, will answer, Cry out, and he will say, Behold me! If thou remove, out of thy midst the yoke, The pointing of the finger, and The speaking of iniquity;
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 shalt let thine own soul go out to the hungry, And the soul of the oppressed, thou shalt satisfy, Then shall break forth in darkness thy light, And thy thick darkness, become as the splendour of noon;
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.
Then will Yahweh guide thee continually, And will satisfy, [even] in scorched regions thine own soul, Yea thy very bones, will he invigorate, —So shall thou become like a garden well—watered, And like a spring of water whose waters do not deceive;
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 who come of thee shall build the wastes of age-past times, And as for the foundations of generation after generation, thou shalt rear them up, —So shalt thou be called—A Repairer of broken walls, A Restorer of paths leading home.
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 back. From the sabbath thy foot, From doing thine own pleasure on my holy day, —And shall call—The sabbath, An exquisite delight, The holy day of Yahweh, A day to be honoured, And so shall honour it rather—Than do thine own ways, Than take thine own pleasure or Than speak thine own word,
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 rest thine own exquisite delight upon Yahweh, …And I will cause thee to ride over the high places of the land, —And will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken.
