Esias 44
1 But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
“Koro winja, yaye Jakobo jatichna, in Israel maseyiero.
2 Thus says the Lord God that made you, and he that formed you from the womb; You shall yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, jal mane ochweyi, ei minu, kendo mabiro konyi wacho: Kik ibed maluor, yaye Jakobo jatichna, in Jeshurun maseyiero.
3 For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon your seed, and my blessings upon your children:
Nimar abiro kelo koth ne piny mobaro okak kendo loso aore e piny motwo; bende anaol Roho mara ne nyikwayi kendo anagwedh kothi.
4 and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on [the banks of] running water.
Ginidongi mana ka lum man kama ngʼich kata ka omburi manie bath aore.
5 One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.
Moro kuomgi nowacho ni, ‘An ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye.’ To machielo to noluongre gi nying Jakobo. Moro machielo nondik e lwete ni, ‘Mar Jehova Nyasaye,’ kendo giduto giniluongre gi nying Israel.
6 Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma Ruodh Israel kendo Jawarne wacho: Anie mokwongo kendo e mogik; onge Nyasaye moro kendo mopogore koda.
7 Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.
Ere kare ngʼama chal koda? Ochungane owachi. Ohulane kendo olerane e nyima gik mosetimore, nyaka ne ayier joga aa chon, kendo mabiro timore; adier we onyiswa gigo mabiro timore.
8 Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have you not heard from the beginning, and [have not] I told you? you are witnesses if there is a God beside me.
Kik chunyi nyosre bende kik ibed maluor. Donge ne asewacho mae kendo ne afwenye chon? Un joneno maga. Bende nitiere Nyasaye moro ma ok An? Ooyo, onge Lwanda moro amora mangʼeyo.”
9 But they that framed [false gods] did not then listen; and they that graved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed
Jogo duto maloso nyiseche manono gin joma nono, kendo gik ma gihero ok kony gimoro. Joma wuoyo e logi gin muofni momemore kendo mano kelonegi mana wichkuot.
10 that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:
En ngʼa manyalo loso nyasaye mar bao kod mar chuma ma ok nyal miye ohala?
11 and all by whom they were made are withered: yes, let all the deaf be gathered from [amongst] men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:
En kaachiel gi joma chalo kode noyud wichkuot; kendo jopechogo gin mana dhano adhana. Wegiuru gichokre giduto mondo gichoma tir ane; ka ok giniyud wichkuot maduongʼ.
12 For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions [the idol] with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.
Jatheth ema keto chuma e mach mi chwakre bangʼe ogoye gi nyundo, kolosogo nyasaye manono, kendo oloso gi tekone duto. Bangʼ mano obedo modenyo kendo mool; bende obedo monyosore kendo riyo loye.
13 The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.
Japecho pimo bao gi tol kendo oketo kido kuome; opaye gi koyo; kendo ogoro kuonde modwaro loso. Olose e kido machalo gi dhano, e kido mar dhano gi duongʼne duto, mondo omi ochunge e od lemo.
14 He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, [even] a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,
Ne onyalo ngʼado yiend sida kata yiend ober. Oweye mondo odongi e kind yiende mamoko e bungu, kata ne onyalo pidho yiende mamoko mi koth mi yiendego odongi.
15 that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and [of] the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.
Dir yadhno ochwakogo chiemo, bathe mamoko omokogo mach mondo oo, eka dir yadhno konchiel otedogo makati. To bende bath yien achielno opayogo nyasaye molamo, kokulorene piny.
16 Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.
Dir yadhno ochwako e kendo mi olosgo chiemo, kendo obule ringʼo moyiengʼ. Bende ooyo majno kowacho ni, “Adier, awinjo maber kendo denda yudo liet.”
17 And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for you are my God.
Bath yien modongʼ opayo mi olosgo nyasaye, mokulorene kendo olamo. Olame kowacho niya, “Resa in e nyasacha.”
18 They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.
Onge gima gingʼeyo, onge gima giwinjo; wengegi omuon ti ma ok ginyal neno, kendo pachgi odinore ma ok ginyal winjo.
19 And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.
Onge ngʼama hore mapar, onge ngʼama nigi ngʼeyo kata winjo makare manyalo wacho niya, “Nus mare ne atiyogo kaka gir chweko; to bende ne atedo makati katiyo gi mirnigo, kendo ne abulo ringʼo mi achamo. Bende anyalo loso gima ok oher kuom gima odongʼ? Bende anyalo kulora piny ne osiki?”
20 Know you that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, you will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.
Ochamo buru, chunye mobam wuonde; ok onyal resore kende, kata wacho ni, “Donge gima ni e lweta korachwich ni miriambo?”
21 Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant; I have formed you [to be] my servant: and do you, Israel, not forget me.
“Par gigi, yaye Jakobo, nimar in jatichna, yaye Israel. Asechweyi, in jatichna; yaye Israel, wiya ok nowil kodi.
22 For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud your transgressions, and your sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem you.
Asekeyo timbeni manono mana ka boche polo, kendo aserucho richogi modwono mana kongʼwengʼo. Duog ira, nimar aseresi.”
23 Rejoice, you heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, you foundations of the earth: you mountains, shout [with] joy, you hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
Weruru gi mor, yaye polo, nimar Jehova Nyasaye ema osetimo ma; koguru matek, yaye piny mamwalo. Weruru matek un gode, bunge kod yiende duto, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osereso Jakobo, kendo osenyiso ayanga duongʼ mare e Israel.
24 Thus says the Lord that redeems you, and who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.
“Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Jaresni, Jal mane ochweyoi e ich wacho: “An e Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jachwech gik moko duto, mane ochweyo polo malach, ma bende en owuon ema nochweyo piny,
25 Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of [man]? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;
oketho ranyisi mag jonabi mariambo kendo miyo joma neno gik moko nenore mofuwo, bende odwoko weche jomariek chien mi ginere gik maonge tich,
26 and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, You shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.
kendo okawo weche jotichne mi omi weche jootene, “ma giwacho kuom Jerusalem chop kare kama: ‘Ibiro dak e iyi,’ kendo ne miech Juda ni, ‘Ibiro gergi kendo,’ to bende ne kuonde momukore ni, ‘Abiro loso kuonde mane omukore obed maber kendo,’
27 Who says to the deep, You shall be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.
bende mawachone nembe ni, ‘Dwon, kendo abiro miyo aocheni dwon,’
28 Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.
kendo owuoyo kuom Sairas ni, ‘En jakwadha kendo enochop kare gigo duto madwaro; enowachne Jerusalem niya, “Mad gere kendo,” to ne hekalu ni, “Mad mise mare keti.”’”
