< Isaiah 3 >

1 For behold, the Lord GOD of Hosts is about to remove from Jerusalem and Judah both supply and support: the whole supply of food and water,
Neuru koro Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, biro tieko mich kod kony mikelo ne Jerusalem kod Juda. Notiek kit chiemo duto kod pi
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,
thuondi maroteke kod jolweny, gi jongʼad bura gi jonabi gi jokor wach kod jodongo,
3 the commander of fifty and the dignitary, the counselor, the cunning magician, and the clever enchanter.
jatend lweny morito ji piero abich gi joma ogen, jongʼad rieko, jopecho molony kod joma olony e wach.
4 “I will make mere lads their leaders, and children will rule over them.”
Anaket mana yawuowi obed jotendgi, to rawere matindo noritgi.
5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.
Ji nosandre kendgi giwegi, ka ngʼato sando mana wadgi owuon bende jogo modak mokiewo nosandre kendgi giwegi. Jomatindo notug lweny gi jomadongo, kendo ji ajiya nocha joma ogen.
6 A man will seize his brother within his father’s house: “You have a cloak—you be our leader! Take charge of this heap of rubble.”
Ngʼato nochun achiel kuom owetene manie dala wuon-gi kowacho niya, “In ema in-gi lep loch, koro telnwa; kendo ibed gi teko ewi pinywa mokethoreni.”
7 On that day he will cry aloud: “I am not a healer. I have no food or clothing in my house. Do not make me leader of the people!”
To e kindeno ngʼatno nodwoki niya, “Ooyo ok dabed ruodhu, nimar aonge gi chiemo kata lewni e oda madimi uketa abed jatend ogandani.”
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled and Judah has fallen because they spoke and acted against the LORD, defying His glorious presence.
Jerusalem yiengni, bende Juda mukore; wechegi kod timbegi opogore gi dwach Jehova Nyasaye, nimar ok omi duongʼne nenre e diergi.
9 The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Wangʼ-gi nyiso ni gin joricho kendo richogi oyangore e lela mana ka richo mane ni Sodom, bende gionge gi wichkuot. Yaye, mano kaka ginine malit nikech gisekelo masira kuomgi giwegi.
10 Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their labor.
Kone joma kare ni gin johawi, nimar giniyud pok kuom tichgi matek.
11 Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done.
Yaye, mano kaka nobed malit ne joricho nikech masira nobed kuomgi. Enokumgi kuom gik maricho ma lwetgi osetimo.
12 Youths oppress My people, and women rule over them. O My people, your guides mislead you; they turn you from your paths.
Jomatindo ema thiro joga kendo mon ema jotendgi. Yaye joga, jotendu osewuondou, momiyo ubaro uweyo yo.
13 The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.
Jehova Nyasaye osebedo e kom bura mondo ongʼad bura ne oganda.
14 The LORD brings this charge against the elders and leaders of His people: “You have devoured the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Sa ngʼado bura mar Jehova Nyasaye kuom jodongo kod jotend joge osechopo, kowacho niya, “Un ema useketho puotha mar mzabibu kendo gik ma uyako kukawo e ut joma odhier opongʼo uteu.
15 Why do you crush My people and grind the faces of the poor?”
En angʼo momiyo usando kendo uthiro joga modhier?” Ruoth Nyasaye, ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.
16 The LORD also says: “Because the daughters of Zion are haughty— walking with heads held high and wanton eyes, prancing and skipping as they go, jingling the bracelets on their ankles—
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mond Sayun sungore kendo kawore, gingʼayo ngʼutgi malo, kendo giningʼo wengegi. Bende giwuotho ka gingʼadore, ka gara manie tiendgi ywak.
17 the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will make their foreheads bare.”
Kuom mano Ruoth Nyasaye biro kelo adhonde ewi mond Sayun, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomi timbegi mamono nenre ratiro.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away their finery: their anklets and headbands and crescents;
Odiechiengʼno Ruoth Nyasaye biro mayogi gik ma gilichorego kaka: bangli gi kitembini mag wich kod tigo mag ngʼut,
19 their pendants, bracelets, and veils;
gi tigo miliero e it gi bangli mag lwetgi kod kitamba miliero e ngʼut,
20 their headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes; their perfume bottles and charms;
gi kitembini mag wich, gi thiwni mag ofunj tielo, gi misip gi chupni motingʼo gik mangʼwe ngʼar kod ris,
21 their signet rings and nose rings;
gi tere mag lwedo gi mag um,
22 their festive robes, capes, cloaks, and purses;
lewni mayom gi kode gi mifuke mag lwedo,
23 and their mirrors, linen garments, tiaras, and shawls.
kod kio, gi lewni mabeyo gi lewni miliero e ngʼut kod mago miumogo wangʼ.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of styled hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, shame.
Kar winjo tik mangʼwe ngʼar to unuwinj mana tik madungʼ marach; kar bedo gi okanda to tol ema nutwerugo; kar bedo gi yie wich molos maber to bondo ema unudongʼ-go; kar bedo gi lewni mabeyo to unurwak mana pien gugru, kar bedo gi wangʼ man-gi chia to adhonde nopongʼ dendu.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your warriors in battle.
Chwou notiek gi ligangla kendo jolweny magu norum e lweny.
26 And the gates of Zion will lament and mourn; destitute, she will sit on the ground.
Nduru gi ywak mag dengo nopongʼ dhorongeye mag Sayun, kendo dalano nodongʼ nono kokethore.
