Isaiah 40
1 “Comfort, comfort My people,” says your God.
Houru chuny joga, hogiuru, Nyasachu wacho kamano.
2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”
Wuouru gi muolo ne Jerusalem, kendo uwachne, ni ndalone mag chandruok oserumo, bende ni richone osewene, kendo oseyudo kum nyadiriyo koa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye nikech richone duto.
3 A voice of one calling: “Prepare the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make a straight highway for our God in the desert.
Ngʼat moro kok niya: “Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru Nyasachwa yo moriere tir, e piny motimo ongoro e thim.
4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground will become smooth, and the rugged land a plain.
Holo ka holo nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie; yore motimo gogni nobed maler, kendo kuonde motimo gode nobed pewe.
5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all humanity together will see it.
Eka duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre kendo ji duto biro nene. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osewacho kamano.”
6 A voice says, “Cry out!” And I asked, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field.
Dwol moro wacho niya, “Tingʼ dwondi iywagi.” To ne apenjo niya, “Ere gima aywago?” “Dhano duto chalo gi lum, kendo bergi duto chalo mana gi maua manie pap.
7 The grass withers and the flowers fall when the breath of the LORD blows on them; indeed, the people are grass.
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny ka much Jehova Nyasaye okudhogi. Chutho dhano chalo mana gi lum.
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny, to wach Nyasachwa osiko manyaka chiengʼ.”
9 Go up on a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Raise your voice loudly, O Jerusalem, herald of good news. Lift it up, do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
In mikelo wach maber ne Sayun, dhi ewi got malo. In mikelo wach maber ne Jerusalem, tingʼ dwondi malo ka ikok matek, tingʼ dwondi malo, kik ibed maluor; wach ne mier mag Juda niya, “Eri Nyasachu nika!”
10 Behold, the Lord GOD comes with might, and His arm establishes His rule. His reward is with Him, and His recompense accompanies Him.
Neuru, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro gi teko, kendo loch ni e lwete. Neuru, obiro gi pok mare, kendo pokne luwo bangʼe.
11 He tends His flock like a shepherd; He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart. He gently leads the nursing ewes.
Orito rombene mana kaka jakwath: Ochoko nyirombene e bade, kendo oriwogi e kore kotelo maber ni rombe man-gi nyithindo.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or marked off the heavens with the span of his hand? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on a scale and the hills with a balance?
En ngʼa mosepimo pi e chuny lwete kata mana pimo lach mar polo gi lwete? En ngʼa ma osechoko buru manie piny e atonga, kata pimo gode madongo gi matindo e rapim?
13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or informed Him as His counselor?
En ngʼa mosefwenyo pach Jehova Nyasaye, koso en ngʼa mosebedo kaka jangʼadne rieko?
14 Whom did He consult to enlighten Him, and who taught Him the paths of justice? Who imparted knowledge to Him and showed Him the way of understanding?
En ngʼa mane Jehova Nyasaye openjo mondo opuonje, koso en ngʼa mane onyise yo makare? En ngʼa ma nopuonje rieko koso en ngʼa mane onyise yor ngʼeyo?
15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine dust.
Adier ogendini chalo mana ka pi matin modongʼ e dapi; ee, gichalo mana ka buru momoko e ratil, opimo chula mag nembe e ratil mana ka buru mayom.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient for fuel, nor its animals enough for a burnt offering.
Yiende mag Lebanon ok oromo moko mach mar kendo mar misango, kata le man kuno nok ma ok oromo timogo misango miwangʼo pep.
17 All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness.
Ogendini duto ok gimoro e nyime, okwanogi ka gik manono, maonge tich.
18 To whom will you liken God? To what image will you compare Him?
En ngʼa ma dipim gi Nyasaye? Koso en kido mane madiwach ni chal kode?
19 To an idol that a craftsman casts and a metalworker overlays with gold and fits with silver chains?
To nyiseche manono, jatheth nyalo loso kendo jatheth nyalo bawe gi dhahabu, mi olosne thiwni mar fedha.
20 To one bereft of an offering who chooses wood that will not rot, who seeks a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple?
Ngʼat modhier ma ok nyal golo chiwo machalo kama, yiero yien ma ok tow. Omanyo japecho molony mondo olosne kido ma ok nyal podho piny.
21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the foundation of the earth?
Donge ungʼeyo Koso donge usewinjo? Pok owachnu nyaka aa chakruok? Koso pok wachno odonjonu nyaka ne chwe pinyni.
22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth; its dwellers are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
Nyasaye obet e kom duongʼne kuma bor moyombo piny kendo joma ni e polo ngʼeny machalo kama ongogo ochokoree. Oyaro polo mana ka tipo maduongʼ kendo oyarogi mana ka hema midakie.
23 He brings the princes to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth meaningless.
Odwoko ruodhi piny kendo omiyo jotelo duto mag pinyni bet kanono.
24 No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner have their stems taken root in the ground, than He blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like stubble.
Ka okudhogi gi muche to giner mi kalausi dhi kodgi ka mihudhwe, nikech gichalo gi kodhi mokom machiegni, ma tiendgi pok ochwowo lowo.
25 “To whom will you liken Me, or who is My equal?” asks the Holy One.
Nyasaye Maler penjo niya, “En ngʼa madupima-go? Koso en ngʼa madirom koda?”
26 Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
Tingʼuru wengeu malo kendo ungʼi polo: En ngʼa manochweyo gigi duto? Donge en ema nomiyo sulwe manie kor polo obetie kokelogi achiel kachiel, koluongo moro ka moro gi nyinge. Onge moro kuomgi molal nikech tekone duongʼ kod nyalone.
27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and why do you assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my claim is ignored by my God”?
Yaye joka Jakobo angʼo momiyo uwuoyo, angʼo momiyo ungʼur, yaye jo-Israel, kuwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dew yorena; kendo ni yorena ok okwan ka gimoro gi Nyasacha.”
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary; His understanding is beyond searching out.
Donge ungʼeyo? Koso pok uwinjo? Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ kendo Jachwech mar piny duto. Ok nobed mool bende ok nonyosre, kendo pache onge ngʼama nyalo ngʼeyo.
29 He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak.
Omiyo joma ool teko kendo omedo joma tekregi orumo bedo motegno.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall.
Jomatindo nyalo bedo mool mi nyosre, kendo yawuowi nyalo chwanyore mi podhi,
31 But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.
to joma oketo genogi kuom Jehova Nyasaye tekregi nodwogi. Gibiro huyo mana ka ongo mafuyo gi bwombe; gibiro ringo to ok gibi bedo mool, bende gibiro wuotho to tekregi ok norum.
