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.”
The LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
2 Kendo abiro luongo Uria jadolo kod Zekaria wuod Jeberekia mondo gibedna joneno mar adier.
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: 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.
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
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 child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
5 Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo koda kendo kawacho niya,
The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 “Nikech jogi osedagi, pi mamol mamuol kawuok Shilo, kendo gi mor mana gi Rezin kod wuod Remalia,
"Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
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,
now therefore, look, the LORD brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its 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!”
It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, 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!
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
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.
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: 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 spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk 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.
"Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
13 Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema onego ikwan ka ngʼat maler, en ema onego umiye luor, kendo en ema onego kibaji mare goyi,
The LORD of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
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 he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Ji mangʼeny kuomgi nochwanyre mi gore piny kendo tur, nochiknegi obadho ma makgi.”
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
16 Koro twe kalatas mondikie wechego motegno kendo chan chikego e nyim jopuonjrena.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
17 Abiro dwaro Jehova Nyasaye ma opando wangʼe ne od Jakobo. Abiro keto genona kuome.
I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in 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.
Look, here I am, and the children God has given me as signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells 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?
When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
20 To kar timo kamano to nonuru chike Nyasaye kod wechene! Ka ok ginyal wuoyo kaluwore gi wachni to ok ginyal konyo ngʼato.
Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 Ginitangni e piny ka githagore kendo ka gidenyo, kendo e kindeno ma kech onurogi, igi nowangʼ matek mi gikwongʼ ruodhgi kod Nyasachgi.
They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 Eka ginikulre ka gingʼiyo piny, to chandruok gi mudho kod chuny malit ema ginine kendo noriembgi mawitgi e mudho mandiwa.
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
