Isaiah 55
1 Ho, everyone who thirsts, come ye to the waters. And he who has no money, come ye, buy, and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
“Biuru un duto ma riyo oloyo, biuru mondo umodh pi, adier biuru un ma uonge pesa, mondo ungʼiew kendo uchiem! Biuru ungʼiew divai gi chak nono maonge chudo.
2 Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Angʼo momiyo utiyo gi pesa kungʼiewo gik ma ok chiemo kendo utiyo matek gi luchi ne gima ok yiengʼu. Winjuru, ee winjauru kendo ucham gima ber, mi unubed gi mwandu mar chuny.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul shall live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the faithful holy things of David.
Chik iti kendo ibi ira, winj gima awacho mondo chunyi obed gi kwe. Abiro loso singruok mosiko kod herana mar adier mane asingone Daudi.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
To ne, asemiyo obedo janeno e kind ogendini, kendo asekete obedo jatelo mar ogendini.
5 Behold, thou shall call a nation that thou do not know. And a nation that does not know thee shall run to thee because of Jehovah thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified thee.
Chutho iniluong pinjeruodhi mane ok ingʼeyo mabi iri, kendo pinjeruodhi mane ok ongʼeyi malongʼo nobi iri, nikech Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi, Jal Maler mar Israel osewiri kod duongʼne.”
6 Seek ye Jehovah while he may be found. Call ye upon him while he is near.
Dwar Jehova Nyasaye ka pod thuolo nitie minyalo yudego; chutho luonge kapod en machiegni.
7 Let the wicked man forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. And let him return to Jehovah, and he will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Ngʼama timbene achach mondo owe yorene, kendo ngʼama parone opongʼ gi timbe richo mondo owe. Onego oduog ir Jehova Nyasaye, kendo enobed gi ngʼwono kuome mi enowene richone.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says Jehovah.
“Nimar parona ok e paroni bende yorena ok e yoreni,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
“Mana kaka polo bor gi piny e kaka bende yorena boyo maloyo mau, kendo e kaka parona ohewo parou.
10 For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and returns not there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
Mana kaka koth gi pe lwar koa e polo, kendo ok dog nono ka ok omiyo piny ngʼich, ma cham twi kendo nyag kothe ne jachwoyo, kendo cham ne jachiemo,
11 so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth. It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please. And it shall prosper in the thing to which I sent it.
e kaka wachna mawuok e dhoga, ok noduogna nono ka ok otiyo tije, to nyaka ochop dwarona, kendo otiek tijno mane omiyo aore.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
Unuwuog kuno gi mor kendo notelnu gi kwe, gode madongo gi matindo nower matek e nyime kendo yiende duto manie bungu nopam gi ilo.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree. And it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Kuonde ma yande pedo ema nitie, nonyag olemo mabeyo mag yiend obudo, kendo kar kudho ema ochwoga mamit nodongie. Mano nomi Jehova Nyasaye huma maduongʼ, to gi ranyisi manyaka chiengʼ ma ok nomuki.”
