< 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 Lord YHWH [is] on Me, Because YHWH anointed Me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent Me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And an opening of bands to [those] bound.
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 proclaim the year of the favor of YHWH, And the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners.
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 appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A covering of praise for a faded spirit, And He is calling to them, Trees of righteousness, The planting of YHWH—to be beautified.”
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 have built the ancient ruins, They raise up the desolations of the ancients, And they have renewed ruined cities, The desolations of generation and generation.
5 Jodak nobed jokwadh jambu, jopinje mamoko nopurnu puotheu mag cham, kod mago mag mzabibu.
And strangers have stood and fed your flock, And the sons of a foreigner [Are] your farmers and your vinedressers.
6 Kendo noluongu ni jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye, kendo noluongu ni jotich Nyasachwa. Unucham mwandu mag pinje kendo unungʼaru gi sunga kuom mwandugigo.
And you are called priests of YHWH, It is said of you [that you are] ministers of our God, You consume the strength of nations, And you boast yourselves in 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.
Instead of your shame—double [honor], And [instead of] confusion, They rejoice in their portion, Therefore they take possession in their land a second time, Continuous joy [is] for them.
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 [am] YHWH, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And I make a perpetual covenant for 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 has been known among the nations, And their offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed YHWH has blessed.”
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 greatly rejoice in YHWH, My soul rejoices in my God, For He clothed me with garments of salvation, [And] covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom prepares ornaments, And as a bride puts on her 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 brings forth her shoots, And as a garden causes its sown things to shoot up, So Lord YHWH causes righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the nations!
