Isaya 66
1 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Polo e koma mar duongʼ, to piny e raten tienda. Koro ere kama dugerna e ot? To kar yweyo mara nobed kanye?
Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What is this house that you would build for me? And what is this place of my rest?
2 Donge lweta ema osechweyo gigi duto momiyo gibedo mangima?” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. “Ma e ngʼat ma ayiego ma en ngʼat ma hore kendo man-gi chuny motur, kendo ngʼama oluoro wachna.
My hand has made all these things, and all these things have been made, says the Lord. But upon whom will I look with favor, except upon a poor little one, who is contrite in spirit, and who trembles at my words?
3 To ngʼato angʼata moyangʼo rwath katimogo misango chal gi ngʼat monego dhano, kendo ngʼato angʼata motimo misango mar rombo, chal gi ngʼama oturo ngʼut guok, kendo ngʼato angʼata mochiwo misango mar cham chal gi ngʼat mochiwo remb anguro, bende ngʼato angʼata mowangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar mar rapar, chal gi ngʼama lamo nyiseche manono. Giseyiero yoregi giwegi kendo chunygi mor gi timbegi mag rondogo;
Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine’s blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.
4 omiyo an bende abiro yieronegi masiche mondo omakgi kendo abiro kelo kuomgi gik ma giluoro. Nimar kane aluongo, to onge ngʼat mane odwoka, kendo kane awuoyo, to onge ngʼat mane owinjo. Negitimo timbe mamono e nyima, kendo ne giyiero mana gik mamorogi.”
Therefore, I also will choose their illusions, and I will lead over them the things that they feared. For I called, and there was no one who would respond. I have spoken, and they have not listened. And they have done evil in my eyes; and what I did not will, they have chosen.
5 Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jogo matetni kuwinjo dwonde: “Oweteni mochai kendo ok kwani ka gimoro nikech ihero nyinga osewacho niya, ‘Mad Jehova Nyasaye mi duongʼ, mondo omi wane morni!’ Kata kamano gin giwegi ema ginine wichkuot.
Listen to the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word. Your brothers, who hate you and who cast you out because of my name, have said: “Let the Lord be glorified, and we will see by your rejoicing.” But they themselves will be confounded.
6 Winjuru kaka nduru wuok e dala maduongʼ, kendo winjuru kaka kokono wuok e hekalu! Ma en dwond Jehova Nyasaye kochulogo kuor ne wasike moromo gi timbegi.
A voice of the people from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of the Lord repaying retribution to his enemies!
7 “Kapok muoch ochako kaye, to osenywolo nyathi; kapok owinjo rem to osenywolo wuowi.
Before she was in labor, she gave birth. Before her time arrived for delivery, she gave birth to a male child.
8 En ngʼa mosewinjo wach machal kamano? En ngʼa moseneno gik machalo kamano? Bende piny dichwe godiechiengʼ achiel koso ogendini dichok dichiel? To mana e seche mane muoch ochako kayo Sayun ema nonywoloe nyithinde.
Who has ever heard of such a thing? And who has seen anything like this? Will the earth give birth in one day? Or will a nation be born all at once? For Zion has been in labor, and she has given birth to her sons.
9 Bende dawe sa ma dhako nywolie chopi mak amiye teko mar nywol?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Bende dadin ich kochopo sa mar chiwo nyathi?” Nyasachi owacho.
Will I, who causes others to give birth, not also give birth myself, says the Lord? Will I, who bestows generation upon others, be barren myself, says the Lord your God?
10 “Moruru gi Jerusalem kendo bed mamor kode, un duto muhere; beduru gi ilo maduongʼ, un duto man-gi kuyo nikech en.
Rejoice with Jerusalem, and exult in her, all you who love her! Rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her!
11 Nimar ibiro piru maber kudhodho thunde; kendo unumethi gi ilo mi ubed gi mor mogundho.”
So may you nurse and be filled, from the breasts of her consolations. So may you receive milk and overflow with delights, from every portion of her glory.
12 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Abiro miyo kwe ma en-go mol ka aora kendo mwandu mag pinje namiye mamol ka oula; unubed mamor ka odhodhou kotingʼou e bade kendo kopirou e chonge.
For thus says the Lord: Behold, I will turn a river of peace toward her, with an inundating torrent: the glory of the Gentiles, from which you will nurse. You will be carried at the breasts, and they will caress you upon the knees.
13 Mana kaka miyo hoyo nyathine, e kaka abiro hoyou; kendo noho chunyu e Jerusalem.”
In the manner of one whom a mother caresses, so will I console you. And you will be consoled in Jerusalem.
14 Ka uneno ma, to chunyu nobed gi mor, kendo dendu nobed maber mana ka lum matwi ndalo chwiri; lwet Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre ne jotichne, to mirimbe to none kuom wasike.
You will see, and your heart will be glad, and your bones will flourish like a plant, and the hand of the Lord will be known to his servants, and he will be angry with his enemies.
15 To nee, Jehova Nyasaye biro gi mach, kendo gechene mag lweny chalo ka kalausi; obiro kelo mirimbe makakni, kendo chwat mare nopilre ka mach.
For behold, the Lord will arrive with fire, and his four-horse chariots will be like a whirlwind: to render his wrath with indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
16 Nimar mach kod ligangla ema Jehova Nyasaye noyalgo ji duto, kendo joma Jehova Nyasaye nonegi nobed mangʼeny.
For the Lord will divide with fire, and with his sword among all flesh, and those slain by the Lord will be many.
17 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Joma pwodhore kendo bedo maler mondo odhiye puothe, kamoro ka moro luwo wadgi kendo chamo ring anguro, oyieyo kod gik moko duto makwero norum duto dichiel.
Those who were sanctified, who thought themselves to be clean in the gardens behind the inner gate, who were eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they will be consumed all at once, says the Lord.
18 “An Jehova Nyasaye angʼeyo timbeni gi paroni achiegni biro mondo achok ogendini duto kod dhoudi mawacho dhok mopogore opogore kendo ginibi mi ginine duongʼ mara maler.
But I know their works and their thoughts. I am arriving, so that I may gather them together with all nations and languages. And they will approach, and they will see my glory.
19 “Anatim ranyisi e kindgi kendo anaor jomoko manok ma notony mane pok owinjo humba kata mane pok oneno duongʼ mara maler ma gin: Tarshish, Libya, Lud (mongʼere gi nying mar jolweny mongʼeyo kedo gi asere), jo-Tubal kod jo-Yunani kaachiel gi joma odak e dho nembe man kuonde maboyo. Gibiro nyiso duongʼna e kind ogendini.
And I will set a sign among them. And I will send some of those who will have been saved to the Gentiles in the sea, to Africa, and to those who draw the bow in Lydia, to Italy and Greece, to islands far away, to those who have not heard of me, and to those who have not seen my glory. And they will announce my glory to the Gentiles.
20 Kendo ginikel oweteni duto koa e ogendini duto, e goda maler ma en Jerusalem kaka gir misango ne Jehova Nyasaye ka moko oidho farese, geche lweny, pundane kod ngamia,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Gibiro kelogi mana kaka jo-Israel kelo misengini e od Jehova Nyasaye, ka gitingʼogi e tewni maler.
And they will lead all of your brothers from all of the Gentiles as a gift to the Lord, on horses, and in four-horse chariots, and on stretchers, and on mules, and in coaches, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, in the same manner that the sons of Israel would carry an offering in a pure vessel into the house of the Lord.
21 Kendo moko kuomgi bende nayier mondo obed jodolo kod jo-Lawi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And I will take from them to be priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka polo manyien machweyo gi piny manyien nosiki e nyima, e kaka nyingi kod nying nyikwayi nosiki.
For in like manner as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will cause to stand before me, says the Lord, so will your offspring and your name stand.
23 Mana kaka dwe por kendo podho kendo machielo por, bende mana kaka chiengʼ Sabato nyaka chiengʼ Sabato machielo e kaka ji duto biro bedo kendo kulore e nyima,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And there will be month after month, and Sabbath after Sabbath. And all flesh will approach, so as to adore before my face, says the Lord.
24 “Giniwuogi mi gine ringre joma otho mosepiem koda, kudni machamogi ok notho kata mach mawangʼogi ok notho kendo ginibed gik ma piny ngima ojokgo.”
And they will go out, and they will view the carcasses of the men who have transgressed against me. Their worm will not die, and their fire will not be extinguished. And they will be a sight to all flesh even unto revulsion.
