< Isaya 65 >
1 “Ne afwenyora ne joma ne ok openja, bende ne oyuda gi joma ne ok omanya. To ne oganda mane ok luong nyinga, ne awachonegi ni, ‘Eri an, eri an.’
I have let myself be consulted by them who had not asked, I have suffered myself to be found by them who had not sought me, —I have said, Here I am! Here I am! Unto a nation that had not been called by my name,
2 Odiechiengʼ duto aserieyo bada ne oganda ma wigi tek, jogo mawuotho e yore ma ok beyo, ka gitimo dwarogi giwegi,
I have spread out my hands all the day, Unto a rebellious people, —Who walk In the way that is not good, After their own devices.
3 ma gin joma osiko mana ka miya mirima e wangʼa awuon, ka gitimo misengini e puothe, kendo giwangʼo ubani e kendo molos gi matafare;
The people who are provoking me to anger to my face continually, —Sacrificing in gardens, and Burning incense upon bricks;
4 gibet e dier liete joma otho otieno duto ka, gipondo kuonde mobuto, gichamo ring anguro, kendo agulnigi otingʼo chiemo moko makwero;
Who tarry among graves, And in the secret places, do lodge, Who eat the flesh of swine, And the broth of refuse things is in their vessels, —
5 giwacho ni ji mamoko niya, ‘Bed mabor koda; kik isud buta, nimar aler moloyi!’ Joma kamago gin mana iro mawuok e uma kendo ka mach maliel ma ok tho odiechiengʼ duto.
Who say—Draw near by thyself, Do not approach with me, For I am holier than thou! These, are A smoke in my nostrils, A fire, burning all the day.
6 “To ne, wachno osiko kondiki e nyima ni: Ok analingʼ to abiro chulo kuor adimba; abiro chulo kuor kuneno,
Lo! it is written before me, —I will not keep silence, But I have recompensed, and will recompense into their bosom:
7 ma en richo magu kaachiel gi richo mag kwereu,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Nikech negitimo misengini e gode mine gidwanyo nyinga e gode matindo, omiyo abiro kumogi chuth ka gineno kuom timbegi mosekadho.
Your own iniquities, And the, iniquities of your fathers together, Saith Yahweh, Who have burned incense upon the mountains, And upon the hills, have reproached me, —Therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Mana kaka olemo maber inyalo yudi e saga marach, ma ji wach ni, ‘Kik wite, nimar pod nitie gima ber kuome, e kaka anatim e lo jotichna kendo ok anatiekgi duto.’
Thus, saith Yahweh—As, new wine, is found, in the cluster, And one saith, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it, So, will I do for the sake of my servants, That I may not destroy the whole [nation];
9 Abiro kelo nyikwa joka Jakobo kendo joka Juda, jogo manokaw godena; ee joga mogen ma jotichna nokaw pinyno mi gidagie.
Therefore will I bring forth Out of Jacob, a seed, and Out of Judah, an inheritor of my mountains, That my chosen ones may inherit it, And, my servants, dwell there;
10 Joga mosebedo ka manya nokwa jambgi Sharon kendo Holo mar Akor nobed lek mar dhog-gi.
Then shall, Sharon, become, a fold for flocks, And the vale of Achor for the lying down of herds, —For my people who have sought me.
11 “To un musejwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye kendo wiu osewil kod goda maler, un mupedho mesa mar misengini, kendo uloso sewni ne nyiseche manono.
But, ye are they—Who forsake Yahweh Who forget my holy mountain—Who prepare, for Fortune, a table and Who fill for Destiny, mixed wine;
12 Aseketou e dho ligangla, kendo un duto unugo chongu kar nek; nimar ne aluongou, to onge ngʼama ne odwoko, ne awuoyo kodu to onge ngʼama nowinjo. Ne utimo timbe mamono e nyima, kendo uyiero mana gik mamorou.”
Therefore will I destine you to the sword, And, ye all, to the slaughter, shall bow down. Because I called and ye answered not, I spake, and ye hearkened not, —But did that which was wicked in mine eyes, And of that wherein I delighted not, ye made choice,
13 Kuom mano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Jotichna nochiem, to unudeny; jotichna nomethi, to unuwinj riyo; jotichna nobed gimor, to unune wichkuot.
Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, —Lo! my servants, shall eat but, ye, shall be famished, Lo! my servants, shall drink but, ye shall be thirsty, —Lo! my servants, shall rejoice but ye, shall turn pale;
14 Jotichna nower, kamor opongʼo chunygi, to unuywagi ka lit opongʼo chunyu, kendo unudengi ka chunyu otur.
Lo! my servants, shall shout in triumph for mirth of heart But, ye, shall make outcry, for pain of heart, And for a breaking of spirit, shall ye howl.
15 Nyingu nobed gir kwongʼ e dier joga mayiero, nimar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto notieku chuth, kendo nomi jotichne madiera nying machielo.
So shall ye leave your name for an oath, to my chosen ones, —So then My Lord Yahweh, will slay thee, —And his servants, will he, call by another name:
16 Ngʼato angʼata mano dwar gweth e piny nyaka luong mana nying Nyasaye madiera; kendo ngʼato angʼata ma nokwongʼre e piny, nokwongʼre mana gi nying Nyasaye madiera. Nimar chandruok machon wich nowilgo, kendo ginilal e wangʼa.”
So that he who blesseth himself in the earth, Will bless himself in the God of faithfulness, And he who sweareth in the earth Will swear by the God of faithfulness—Because the former troubles have been forgotten, and Because they are hid from mine eyes.
17 “Winjuru, abiro chweyo polo manyien kod piny manyien. Gik mosekadho ok nochak opar bende ok ginibi kata e paro.
For, behold me! Creating new heavens, and a new earth, —And the former shall not be mentioned, neither shall they come up on the heart,
18 To bed mamor kendo gi ilo manyaka chiengʼ, gi gik ma abiro chweyo, nimar abiro chweyo Jerusalem obed dala makelo mor, kendo joma odakie obed gi ilo.
But joy ye and exult, perpetually, in what I am about to create, —For, behold me! Creating Jerusalem an exultation and Her People a joy;
19 Abiro bedo gi mor gi Jerusalem kendo bedo gi ilo nikech joga; ywak kod koko mar nduru ok nochak owinji kuome kendo.
Therefore will I Exult in Jerusalem, and Joy in my People, —And there shall be heard in her, no more The sound of weeping, or the sound of a cry:
20 “E polo manyien-no kod piny manyien-no ok nochak oyudie nyathi minywolo bangʼe dak mana kuom ndalo manok; kata ngʼat maduongʼ ma ok nodag matiek hike duto, ngʼat manotho ka hike mia achiel, nokwan mana ni otho ka pod en rawera; kendo ngʼat manotho ka hike pok ochopo higa mia achiel, nokwan mana ka ngʼama okwongʼ.
There shall be thenceforward, no more, A suckling of a few days, or an elder Who filleth not up his days, —But, a youth a hundred years old, may die, Yea a sinner a hundred years old, shall be accursed,
21 Gibiro gero udi mi gidagie kendo gibiro pidho mzabibu mi gicham olembgi.
Then shall they build houses and dwell in them, —And plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them;
22 Ok ginichak giger udi kae to jomoko nono ema dakie, kata pidho cham to jomoko nono ema biro chamo. Mana kaka yath dak amingʼa, e kaka joga nodagi, joga mayiero none mor kuom gik ma lwetgi oseloso.
They shall not build, and another, dwell, They shall not plant, and, another, eat, —For as the days of a tree, shall be the days of my people, And, the work of their own hands, shall my chosen ones, use to the full:
23 Ok gini chandre kayiem nono, kata nywolo nyithindo mokwongʼ; nimar ginibedi oganda ma Jehova Nyasaye, ogwedho gin kod nyikwagi.
They shall not labour in vain, Nor have children for terror, —For the seed of the blessed ones of Yahweh, shall they be, And their offspring, with them.
24 Abiro dwokogi kata kapok giluonga, kendo abiro winjogi kata kapok giwuoyo.
And it shall come to pass—That before they call, I, will answer, And while yet they are speaking, I, will hear.
25 Ondiek kod rombo nokwa kaachiel, sibuor nocham lum mana kaka faras, to lowo ema nobed chiemb thuol. Onge gima ginikethi e godega duto maler,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
The wolf and the lamb, shall feed, in unity, And, the lion, as an ox, shall eat straw; But as for the serpent, dust, shall be his food: They shall not harm—Nor shall they destroy, In all my holy mountain, saith Yahweh.
