< Isaya 61 >

1 Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto ni kuoma, nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewira, mondo aland wach maber ne joma odhier. Oseora mondo akwe chuny jok modakie lit, kendo mondo aland ne joma otwe ni gin thuolo, bende mondo ahul ne joma otwe modakie mudho ni koro osegonygi.
The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;
2 Bende oseora mondo aland ni ma e higa mar ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo chiengʼ ma Nyasachwa biro chuloe kuor, kohoyo ji duto manie kuyo,
To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;
3 abiro konyo jogo man-gi lit Sayun, kendo gik mabiro miyogi e magi: ketonegi maua mabeyo kar buru magi bukorego, kendo mor kar lit ma gin-go, kendo chiwo lewni mag pak kar chuny mool. Enoluong-gi ni yiend ober mag tim makare, mopidh gi Jehova Nyasaye, konyiso godo duongʼne.
To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.
4 Ginichak giger kuonde machon mane omukore, ka gidwoko kare kuonde mane okethore, kendo ginichak giger mier madongo mane okethore mosebedo kojwangʼ e tiengʼ ka tiengʼ.
And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.
5 Jodak nobed jokwadh jambu, jopinje mamoko nopurnu puotheu mag cham, kod mago mag mzabibu.
And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.
6 Kendo noluongu ni jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye, kendo noluongu ni jotich Nyasachwa. Unucham mwandu mag pinje kendo unungʼaru gi sunga kuom mwandugigo.
But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.
7 Kar yudo wichkuot to joga noyud pok nyadiriyo, kendo kar yudo achaya to ginibed mamor gi pokgi; kuom mano giniyud pok nyadiriyo e pinygi, kendo mor mochwere nobed margi.
As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.
8 “Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ahero adiera, amon gi mecho kod timbe mamono. Kuom adiera mara abiro miyogi pok kendo anatim kodgi singruok mosiko.
For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.
9 Nyikwagi nongʼere e kind ogendini kendo nyithindgi nomi luor e kind ji. Ji duto monenogi nongʼe ni gin oganda ma Jehova Nyasaye ogwedho.”
And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.
10 An-gi mor maduongʼ e nying Jehova Nyasaye; chunya opongʼ gi ilo kuom Nyasacha. Nimar oserwaka gi lep warruok, kendo oboya gi law mar tim makare, mana kaka wuon kisera boyo wiye ka jadolo, kendo ka miaha morwakore gi thiwni mabeyo.
I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.
11 Mana kaka lowo miyo cham twi, kendo kaka cham mae puodho thiewo, e kaka Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto nomi tim makare kod pak thiew e dier ogendini duto.
For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.
