Isaya 59
1 Adiera bad Jehova Nyasaye ok chiek ma ok dores joge, bende ite ok odino ma ok dowinj wach.
Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, —Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.
2 To richou ema osepogou gi Nyasachu; richou ema omiyo osepandonu wangʼe mondo kik owinju.
But, your iniquities, have become separators betwixt you and your God, And your sins, have caused a hiding of face from you that he should-not hear.
3 Nimar lwetu otimo remo, kendo usemulo richo. Dhou osewacho miriambo kendo leu osehulo gik mamono.
For, your hands, are defiled with blood, And, your fingers, with iniquity, —Your lips, have spoken falsehood, and Your tongue, muttereth, perversity.
4 Onge ngʼama dwaro tim makare; kata manyo bura miyalo gadiera. Gigeno mana kuom weche manono kendo giwacho miriambo, gimako ich mar chandruok kendo ginywolo mana richo.
None, sueth in righteousness, and None, pleadeth in faithfulness, —Men are trusting in confusion, And speaking vanity, Conceiving wickedness And bringing forth iniquity:
5 Gibutno e tong thuonde, kendo gichweyo mbuyi mar otiengʼ-otiengʼ. Ngʼato angʼata mochamo tongʼ-gi biro tho kendo kamoro oto to nyathi fu ema wuokie.
Viper’s eggs, do they hatch, Spider’s threads, do they weave, —He that eateth of their eggs, dieth, And, that which is crushed, bringeth forth an adder;
6 Mbui margi ok nyal twangʼ-go nanga, bende ok ginyal umore giwegi gi gik ma giloso. Timbegi gin timbe richo; kendo timbe mag mahundu ni e lwetgi.
Their threads, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics, —Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea the product of violence is in their hands;
7 Tiendegi reto kadhi timo richo; giyot ahinya mondo gichwer remo maonge ketho. Paro manie chunygi gin paro maricho kendo kamoro amora ma gidhiyoe; masira gi chandruok ema dongʼie.
Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood, —Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads;
8 Ok gingʼeyo yo makelo kwe, onge tim makare e yoregi. Giseloko yorego obedo yore mogondore ogondore, kendo ngʼato angʼata mawuotho e yorego ok noyud kwe.
the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks, —Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth well—being.
9 Omiyo ngʼado bura makare koro bor kodwa, kendo tim makare ok chop irwa. Wagombo ler, to mudho ema waneno; kendo wadwaro mondo piny oru, to mudho mandiwa ema wawuothoe.
For this cause, hath justice removed far from us, And righteousness overtaketh us not, —We wait for light, But lo! darkness, For brightness, In thick darkness, we walk:
10 Wamulo kor udi mana ka muofni, kendo wamulo kuonde ma wawuothe, mana ka joma onge wengegi. Wachwanyore godiechiengʼ, mana ka gima en otieno kendo wachalo joma otho e kind joma rateke.
We grope, as blind men for a wall, Yea, as men without eyes, do we grope, —We have stumbled at broad noon as though it were twilight, In desolate places like the dead!
11 Walak mana ka ondiegi kendo wadengo malit mana ka akuru. Wadwaro ngʼado bura makare to ok wayud kata achiel, kendo wamanyo ngʼama reswa to obor kodwa.
We growl like bears all of us, And, like doves, do we, mournfully coo, —We wait For justice, and there is none, For salvation it is far from us!
12 Nimar timbewa mamono opongʼo wangʼi kendo richowa elore e lela. Timbewa marichogo osiko kodwa kendo wayie timbewa mamonogo, ma gin:
For our transgressions have multiplied before thee, And, our sins, have witnessed against us, —For, our transgressions, are with us, And as for our iniquities, we acknowledge them:
13 ngʼanyo kendo ketho e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, loko ngʼewa ne Nyasachwa, chano timo tulo kendo paro weche mag miriambo ka chunywa opongʼ kod wuond.
Transgressing, and denying Yahweh, And turning away from following our God, —Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving, and muttering from the heart, words of falsehood.
14 Omiyo ngʼado bura makare ogol oko kendo tim makare ni mabor kodwa, adiera onge e yore matindo kendo tim makare ni kuma bor.
So then there hath been a driving back of justice, And righteousness, afar off, standeth, —For truth, hath stumbled in the broad-way, And, right, cannot enter;
15 Adiera ok nyal yudi, kendo ngʼat motangʼ ne richo chuny ji ojokgo. Jehova Nyasaye norangogi kendo nokecho nikech ngʼado bura makare onge kuomgi.
And the truth hath been found missing, And he that hath turned away from wrong is liable to be despoiled, And when, Yahweh, looked, Then was it grievous in his eyes that there was no justice:
16 Ne oneno kaonge ngʼato kata achiel, kendo nobwok ni onge kata ngʼato madikony; omiyo bade owuon nokelone en owuon warruok kendo timne makare ema norite.
When he saw that there was no mighty man, Then was he astonished that there was none to interpose, —So his own arm brought him salvation, And his own righteousness, the same, upheld him;
17 Norwakore tim makare ka law akor mar nyinyo, kendo ne orwako warruok ka ogut lweny; bende ne orwako chulo kuor ka ngʼama rwako law, kendo nobolo mirima mager kuome ka law abola.
And he put on Righteousness as a coat of mail, And a helmet of victory upon his head, —And he put on the garments of avenging, for clothing, And wrapped about him as a cloak—jealousy,
18 Obiro chulo ngʼato ka ngʼato mana moromore gi timbene, obiro kumo wasike duto gi mirima mager kendo obiro kumo joma odakie dho nembe.
According to their deeds, accordingly, will he repay, Indignation to his adversaries, Recompense to his enemies, —To the Coastlands—recompense, will he repay:
19 Koa yo podho chiengʼ, ji noluor nying Jehova Nyasaye, kendo koa yo wuok chiengʼ, oganda nomiye duongʼ. Nimar nobi ka pi mongingore ma much Jehova Nyasaye osekudho.
That they may revere—From the West the name of Yahweh, And from the Rising of the Sun his glory, For he will come in like a rushing stream, the breath of Yahweh, driving it on;
20 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Jalno makelo Resruok nobi Sayun, mondo ores nyikwa Jakobo moseweyo richogi.”
So shall come in for Zion, a Redeemer, Even for such as are turning from transgression in Jacob, —Declareth Yahweh.
21 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Akwongʼora ni ma e singruokna kodgi. Roho mara man kuomu kod wechena ma aseketo e dhou nosik kodu chakre kawuono nyaka tiengʼ mabiro bangʼu koa kuom nyikwau kadhi nyaka kuom nyithindgi, wach ok nowuogi e dhog-gi ndalo duto nyaka chiengʼ,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
And as for me, this, shall be my covenant with them, Saith Yahweh: My spirit that is upon thee, And my words which I have put in thy mouth, —Shall not be taken out of thy mouth—Nor out of the mouth of thy seed. Nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, Saith Yahweh, From henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
