Isaya 8
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kaw kalatas maduongʼ kendo indik wachni gi kalam mongʼongʼore ni Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, tiende ni yeko biro chako timore machiegni.”
And the Lord said to me: “Take up for yourself a large book, and with a man’s pen write in it: ‘Take away the spoils quickly; plunder swiftly.’”
2 Kendo abiro luongo Uria jadolo kod Zekaria wuod Jeberekia mondo gibedna joneno mar adier.
And I summoned to myself faithful witnesses: Uriah, the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Berechiah.
3 Bangʼe ne ariwora gi chiega ma janabi madhako kendo ne omako ich mi onywolo wuowi kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowachona niya, “Chake wuowino ni Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
And I joined with the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. And the Lord said to me: “Call his name: ‘Rush to take away the spoils; Hurry to be plundered.’
4 Kapok nyathino odongo mongʼeyo luongo ‘wuonwa’ kata ‘minwa,’ to mwandu duto mag Damaski kaachiel gi gik moyaki mag Samaria notingʼ gi ruodh Asuria.”
For before the boy knows how to call to his father and his mother, the strength of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria will be taken away, in the sight of the king of the Assyrians.”
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo koda kendo kawacho niya,
And the Lord spoke to me further, saying:
6 “Nikech jogi osedagi, pi mamol mamuol kawuok Shilo, kendo gi mor mana gi Rezin kod wuod Remalia,
“Because this people has cast aside the waters of Shiloah, which go forth silently, and has instead chosen Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
7 Omiyo Ruoth Nyasaye biro kelo kuomgi oula mopongʼ mag Aora, ma en ruodh Asuria gi joge mag lweny. Pi Aora nopongʼ wengene ma nomuom gengene,
for this reason, behold, the Lord will lead over them the waters of a river, strong and plentiful: the king of the Assyrians with all his glory. And he will rise up throughout all his streams, and he will overflow all his banks.
8 kendo obiro muomo piny Juda mi ochop koni gi koni kokadho e diere, kendo kopongʼ thich nyaka oulano nokwak pinyu duto, yaye Imanuel!”
And he will pass through Judah, inundating it, and he will cross over and arrive, even at its neck. And he will extend his wings, filling the breadth of your land, O Immanuel.”
9 Chokreuru ne lweny, un ogendini, ka luoro omakou! Chikuru itu un ji duto manie pinje maboyo! Bende ikreuru ne lweny ka luoro omakou! Bende ikreuru ne lweny ka luoro omakou!
O people, gather together, and be conquered! All distant lands, listen! Be strengthened, and be conquered! Gird yourselves, and be conquered!
10 Kata dabed ni ungʼado rieko kuom gik mudwaro timo to ibiro thirgi; bende kata dabed ni uchano gima udwaro timo to ok notimre, nikech Nyasaye nikodwa.
Undertake a plan, and it will be dissipated! Speak a word, and it will not be done! For God is with us.
11 Jehova Nyasaye ne owuoyo koda ka bade maratego ni kuoma, kosiema ni mondo kik awuothi e yore mag ogandani. Nowacho niya,
For the Lord said this to me, and he has instructed this to me with a strong hand, lest I go forth in the way of this people, saying:
12 “Gima jogi luongo ni andhoga Kik uluong ni andhoga; bende kik iluor gik ma giluoro kendo kik gibwogi.
“You should not say ‘It is conspiracy!’ For all that this people speaks is a conspiracy. And you should not be frightened or alarmed with their fear.
13 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema onego ikwan ka ngʼat maler, en ema onego umiye luor, kendo en ema onego kibaji mare goyi,
Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself. Let him be your dread, and let him be your fear.
14 kendo en ema nobed kare maler; to ne jo-Israel kod jo-Juda, enobed kidi machwanyo ji kendo lwanda mamiyo gipodho. Chutho enobed obadho ma jo-Jerusalem nomokie.
And so shall he be a sanctification to you. But he will be a stone of offense and a rock of scandal to the two houses of Israel, and a snare and a ruin to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Ji mangʼeny kuomgi nochwanyre mi gore piny kendo tur, nochiknegi obadho ma makgi.”
And very many of them will stumble and fall, and they will be broken and entangled and seized.
16 Koro twe kalatas mondikie wechego motegno kendo chan chikego e nyim jopuonjrena.
Bind the testimony, seal the law, among my disciples.”
17 Abiro dwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma opando wangʼe ne od Jakobo. Abiro keto genona kuome.
And I will wait for the Lord, who has concealed his face from the house of Jacob, and I will stand before him.
18 Eri an kaachiel gi nyithindo ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiya. Wan e ranyisi kod honni e piny Israel koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego modak e got mar Sayun.
Behold: I and my children, whom the Lord has given to me as a sign and a portent, in Israel, from the Lord of hosts, who lives on Mount Zion.
19 Ka ji wachonu ni manyuru rieko kuom ajuoke gi jo-nyakalondo madhum kendo jajni, to donge dhano onego penj wach kuom Nyasaye? Angʼo momiyo upenjo joma otho wach mar joma ngima?
And though they say to you, “Seek from seers and diviners,” they who hiss in their incantations, should not the people seek from their God, for the sake of the living, and not from the dead?
20 To kar timo kamano to nonuru chike Nyasaye kod wechene! Ka ok ginyal wuoyo kaluwore gi wachni to ok ginyal konyo ngʼato.
And this is, moreover, for the sake of the law and the testimony. But if they do not speak according to this Word, then he will not have the morning light.
21 Ginitangni e piny ka githagore kendo ka gidenyo, kendo e kindeno ma kech onurogi, igi nowangʼ matek mi gikwongʼ ruodhgi kod Nyasachgi.
And he will pass by it; he will fall and become hungry. And when he is hungry, he will become angry, and he will speak evil against his king and his God, and he will lift himself upward.
22 Eka ginikulre ka gingʼiyo piny, to chandruok gi mudho kod chuny malit ema ginine kendo noriembgi mawitgi e mudho mandiwa.
And he will gaze downward to the earth, and behold: tribulation and darkness, dissolution and distress, and a pursuing gloom. For he will not be able to fly away from its distress.
