Isaya 63
1 Ma en ngʼa mabiro koa Bozra dala maduongʼ mar Edom korwako lewni makwar mochido? Ma en ngʼa morwakore gi law duongʼ, kowuotho gi sunga nikech teko ma en-go? En an Jehova Nyasaye ema awuoyo gi tim makare makelo warruok.
[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”
2 Angʼo momiyo lepi kwar mana ka lep ngʼama nyono olemb mzabibu kabiyo?
[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”
3 Asenyono olemo mibiyo kenda; kendo ngʼato angʼata moa kuom ogendini mane ni koda. Ne anyonogi piny kakecho kendo ka an-gi mirima mager; mi rembgi okirore e lepa kendo omiyo lepa duto otimo remo.
[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.
4 Nimar odiechieng chulo kuor ne ni e chunya kendo hik warruok osechopo.
I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].
5 Ne angʼiyo koni gi koni to ne ok aneno ngʼama konya, omiyo lweta awuon ema ne ochiwo warruok; kendo mirimba awuon ema ne orita.
I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.
6 Ne anyono ogendini kakecho; mi kuom mirimba ne amiyo gimer, kendo ne aolo rembgi e lowo.
Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”
7 Abiro wuoyo kuom ngʼwono mar Jehova Nyasaye, kuom timbene madongo mowinjore gi pak, kaluwore gi gik moko duto ma Jehova Nyasaye osetimonwa. Ee, gik mangʼeny duto mosetimo ne oganda Israel, kaluwore gi kech mare kod timbene mag ngʼwono duto.
I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.
8 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kuom adiera gin joga, yawuota ma ok nyal wuonda,” omiyo nobedo Jaresgi.
Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.
9 E litgi duto en bende ne en gi lit kendo malaika mane ni e nyime ne oresogi. Kuom herane kod ngʼwonone neresogi; mi otingʼogi malo nyaka aa ndalo machon.
When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].
10 Kata kamano ne gingʼanyo mi gimiyo Roho Maler mare okuyo. Omiyo nolokore obedo jasikgi kendo en owuon ne okedo kodgi.
But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.
11 Bangʼe joge ne oparo ndalo machon, ndalo mag Musa kod ogandane mi gipenjore niya, “Ere Jal mane otelonegi ka jakwadh rombe ka gikalo nam makwar? Ere Jal mane oketo Roho Maler mare kuomgi?
Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?
12 Ere Jal mane ooro bade man-gi teko mondo obedie lwet Musa ma korachwich, mane obaro pi e nyimgi mondo nyinge oyud duongʼ mochwere?
Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?
13 Ere Jal mane otelonegi nyaka kuonde matut?” Mana ka faras mangʼado thim, ne ok gichwanyore;
Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.
14 mana kaka jamni maridore kochomo holo, negiyudo yweyo koa kuom Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye. Ma e kaka nitelo ne jogi kimiyorigo duongʼ.
They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”
15 Rang piny gie polo ka in e komi mar duongʼ, maler kendo man-gi teko? Ere hera matut gi teko misebedogo kodwa cha? Ngʼwono kod hoch mari isetuonowa.
[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.
16 To ngʼe ni inie wuonwa kata obedo ni Ibrahim ok ongʼeyowa kendo Israel ok kwan ni wan joge, in, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, e wuonwa, Jareswa manyaka nene e nyingi.
You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.
17 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, angʼo momiyo wachandore e yoregi kendo chunywa pek ma ok wanyal chiwo luor ne in? Yie iduog irwa nikech wan jotichni, oganda ma gin girkeni mari.
Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.
18 Kuom ndalo matin kende jogi ne orito kar dakni maler, to sani wasikwa osenyono moketho kari maler mar lemo.
We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.
19 Wan magi kochakore chon to ok isebedo ruodhgi, to bende ok oseluong-gi gi nyingi.
Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
