Isaiah 40
1 “Be consoled, be consoled, O my people!” says your God.
Houru chuny joga, hogiuru, Nyasachu wacho kamano.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call out to her! For her malice has reached its end. Her iniquity has been forgiven. She has received double for all her sins from the hand of the Lord.
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 The voice of one crying out in the desert: “Prepare the way of the Lord! Make straight the paths of our God, in a solitary place.
Ngʼat moro kok niya: “Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru Nyasachwa yo moriere tir, e piny motimo ongoro e thim.
4 Every valley will be exalted, and every mountain and hill will be brought low. And the crooked will be straightened, and the uneven will become level ways.
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 flesh together will see that the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Eka duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre kendo ji duto biro nene. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osewacho kamano.”
6 The voice of one saying, “Cry out!” And I said, “What should I cry out?” “All flesh is grass, and all its glory is like the flower 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 has dried up, and the flower has fallen. For the Spirit of the Lord has blown over it. Truly, the people are like grass.
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny ka much Jehova Nyasaye okudhogi. Chutho dhano chalo mana gi lum.
8 The grass has dried up, and the flower has fallen. But the Word of our Lord remains for eternity.”
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny, to wach Nyasachwa osiko manyaka chiengʼ.”
9 You who evangelize Zion, climb a high mountain! You who evangelize Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength! Lift it up! Do not be afraid! Say to the cities of Judah: “Behold, 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 will arrive in strength, and his arm will rule. Behold, his reward is with him, and his work is before 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 will pasture his flock like a shepherd. He will gather together the lambs with his arm, and he will lift them up to his bosom, and he himself will carry the very young.
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, and who has weighed the heavens with his palm? Who has suspended the mass of the earth with three fingers, and who has weighed the mountains on a balance and the hills on a scale?
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 assisted the Spirit of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor and has revealed things to him?
En ngʼa mosefwenyo pach Jehova Nyasaye, koso en ngʼa mosebedo kaka jangʼadne rieko?
14 With whom has he consulted? And who has instructed him, and taught him the path of justice, and guided him to knowledge, and revealed the way of understanding to him?
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 Behold, the nations are like a drop of water in a bucket, and they are considered as the smallest grain on a balance. Behold, the islands are like a little 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 And Lebanon will not be sufficient to start a fire, and its animals will not be sufficient 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 in his sight are as if they did not exist, and they are considered by him as if they were nothingness and emptiness.
Ogendini duto ok gimoro e nyime, okwanogi ka gik manono, maonge tich.
18 Therefore, to whom would you liken God? Or with what image would you replace him?
En ngʼa ma dipim gi Nyasaye? Koso en kido mane madiwach ni chal kode?
19 Should the workman cast a statue? Or has the goldsmith formed it with gold, or the silversmith with plates of silver?
To nyiseche manono, jatheth nyalo loso kendo jatheth nyalo bawe gi dhahabu, mi olosne thiwni mar fedha.
20 He has chosen strong wood that will not decay. The skillful artisan seeks a way to set up an idol that cannot be moved.
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 announced to you from the beginning? Have you not understood the foundations of the earth?
Donge ungʼeyo Koso donge usewinjo? Pok owachnu nyaka aa chakruok? Koso pok wachno odonjonu nyaka ne chwe pinyni.
22 He is the One who sits upon the globe of the earth, and its inhabitants are like locusts. He extends the heavens as if they were nothing, and he spreads them out like a tent, in which to dwell.
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 has brought those who examine what is secret to nothingness. He has brought the judges of the earth to emptiness.
Odwoko ruodhi piny kendo omiyo jotelo duto mag pinyni bet kanono.
24 And certainly, their stalk was neither planted, nor sown, nor rooted in the ground. He has suddenly blown across them, and they have withered, and a whirlwind will carry them away like chaff.
Ka okudhogi gi muche to giner mi kalausi dhi kodgi ka mihudhwe, nikech gichalo gi kodhi mokom machiegni, ma tiendgi pok ochwowo lowo.
25 “And to whom would you compare me or equate me?” says the Holy One.
Nyasaye Maler penjo niya, “En ngʼa madupima-go? Koso en ngʼa madirom koda?”
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things. He leads forth their army by number, and he calls them all by name. Because of the fullness of his strength and robustness and virtue, not one of them was left behind.
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 this, O Jacob, and why do you speak this way, O Israel? “My way has been hidden from the Lord, and my judgment escaped notice 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, or have you not heard? The Lord is the eternal God, who has created the limits of the earth. He does not diminish, and he does not struggle. Neither is his wisdom searchable.
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 It is he who gives strength to the weary, and it is he who increases fortitude and strength in those who are failing.
Omiyo joma ool teko kendo omedo joma tekregi orumo bedo motegno.
30 Servants will struggle and fail, and young men will fall into infirmity.
Jomatindo nyalo bedo mool mi nyosre, kendo yawuowi nyalo chwanyore mi podhi,
31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.
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.
