< Isaiah 51 >

1 Hearken to me, ye who follow after righteousness, ye who seek Jehovah. Look to the rock from where ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit from where ye were dug.
Winjauru, un mumanyo tim makare kendo udwaro Jehova Nyasaye: Ngʼi aneuru lwanda mane ogolue, ranganeuru kama ne okuny mogolue;
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you. For when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
paruru Ibrahim wuonu kod Sara mane onywolou. Ne en mana ngʼat achiel kende kane aluonge kendo nagwedhe mi aloke oganda maduongʼ.
3 For Jehovah has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Jehova Nyasaye biro hoyo chuny Sayun adier; kendo obiro bedo gi kech kuom kuondene mokethore; enolok kuondene motimo ongoro chal ka Eden, kendo kuondene modongʼ gunda chal ka puoth Jehova Nyasaye. Mor gi ilo kaachiel gi erokamano gi wer mamit noyud kuome.
4 Attend to me, O my people, and give ear to me, O my nation. For a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
Winjauru un joga, chikuru itu un ogandana: Abiro golo chik kendo bucha makare nobed ler ne ogendini.
5 My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples. The isles shall wait for me, and on my arm they shall trust.
Adiera mara sudo machiegni piyo, warruokna chiegni, kendo abiro ngʼado bura makare ne ogendini. Joma odak e dho nembe biro ngʼiya ka gin gi geno ni abiro resogi gi tekona.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Tingʼ wangʼi malo ingʼi polo, bende rang piny gie polo, nikech polo nolal nono mana ka iro, to piny bende biro ti mana ka law kendo oganda modak e iye notho mana ka lwangʼni. To resruok makelo nosiki nyaka chiengʼ kendo adiera mara ok norum.
7 Hearken to me, ye who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Fear ye not the reproach of men, nor be ye dismayed at their revilings.
Winjauru un joma ongʼeyo tim makare, un oganda mondiko chikena e chunyu: Kik uluor weche midiro mag dhano kata luoro ayany mag ji.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.
Nimar olwenda biro chamogi duto ka law; kendo kudni nochamgi mana ka yie rombe. To adiera mara nosiki manyaka chiengʼ, kendo resruok makelo ok norum e kind tienge gi tienge.
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Is it not thou who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
Aa malo, Aa malo! Jiw badi motegno, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; aa malo kendo ijiwri, mana kaka ne ijiwori chon e ndalo mokadho. Donge in ema nitieko ondiek nam miluongo ni Rahab, mingʼado matindo tindo?
10 Is it not thou who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep, who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Donge in ema nomiyo nam oduono, ma gin pige mano chokore kuonde matut, kendo niloso yo e kind nam matut mondo joma ne ireso ongʼadi kadhi loka cha?
11 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Joma Jehova Nyasaye osereso nodwogi. Ginidonji e dala Sayun ka giwer; mor mochwere nobed kuomgi. Ginibed gi mor kod ilo, kendo kuyo gi parruok nolal nono kuomgi.
12 I, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are thou, that thou are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass,
“An, kendo en An e Jal mahoyo chunyu. Angʼo momiyo uluoro yawuot dhano adhana matho, kendo maner mana ka lum,
13 and have forgotten Jehovah thy maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth, and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? And where is the fury of the oppressor?
momiyo wiwu owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Jachwechu, Jal mane oyaro polo kendo oketo mise mar piny, momiyo udak gi kihondko pile, nikech kum muyudo kuom ngʼama sandou, kendo oikore mar tiekou. Jal masandouno, ere gima geroneno ditim?
14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed, and he shall not die in the pit, nor shall his bread fail.
Joma ni e twech ma luoro omako ibiro gony machiegni; ok ginitho e kuondegi mag twech kendo ok ginichand chiemo.
15 For I am Jehovah thy God, who stirs up the sea so that the waves of it roar. Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mamiyo Nam gingore mi apaka wuo, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge.
16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and have covered thee in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, Thou are my people.
Aseketo wechena e dhogi kendo aumi gi tipo mar lweta, an ema ne ayaro polo maketo kare, mi aketo mise mar piny kendo awachone jo-Sayun ni, ‘Un e joga.’”
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Aa malo, Aa malo! Chiew, yaye Jerusalem, in misemetho e kikombe mar mirima mager, moa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye, kendo isemadho kikombe mamero ji milungʼo nyaka duro.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth, nor is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons that she has brought up.
Kuom yawuowi duto mane onywolo onge moro amora mane nyalo taye kata mane nyalo telone komako lwete.
19 These two things have befallen thee (Who shall bemoan thee?): Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. How shall I comfort thee?
Masiche moluwore osemaki ma en kethruok kod tieki; kech kod ligangla, en ngʼa madihoyi kata duogo chunyi.
20 Thy sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net. They are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of thy God.
Yawuoti osepodho, giriere piny e yore mana ka mwanda mogengʼne ei obadho. Giyudo kum mager moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo chwat mar Nyasache.
21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine.
Kuom mano winj ma, in miseyudo masira midoko ngʼama omer to ok gi kongʼo.
22 Thus says thy lord Jehovah, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma en Nyasachi machwako joge e bura wacho, Ne, asegolo oko e lweti kikombe mane miyo ithembo, bende ok inichak imethi e kikombe mar mirimba kendo.
23 And I will put it into the hand of those who afflict thee, who have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over, and thou have laid thy back as the ground, and as the street, to those who go over.
Anaket kikombe e lwet joma sandou mane wacho ni, “Nind piny mondo wawuoth kuomi. Kendo niloko die ngʼeyi ka yo miwuothoe.”
