< Isaiah 19 >

1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.
Ma e wach mane okor kuom Misri: To neuru, Jehova Nyasaye biro piyo piyo koa e boche polo kochomo Misri. Nyiseche mopa mag Misri kirni e nyime kendo jo-Misri dhi ka rumo.
2 And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
“Abiro thuwo jo-Misri kendgi, ngʼato noked mana gowadgi, joma odak mokiewo noked kendgi, mier madongo noked kendgi, kendo pinjeruodhi bende noked kendgi.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.
Chuny jo-Misri nonyosre kendo anaketh gik moko duto ma gichano timo; ginidwar wach kuom nyiseche mopa kod lang chunje mane osetho, ajuoke kod nyakalondo.
4 And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Abiro chiwo jo-Misri e lwet jatelo mager, kendo ruoth makwiny ema nobed gi loch kuomgi.” Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ema owacho.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;
Pige mag aora biro dwono, kendo kuonde ma pi luwo biro two ma bar okak.
6 and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.
Kuonde ma pi luwo nodungʼ marach; bede aore mag Misri nodwon mi two. Odundu kod se biro ner,
7 The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].
kaachiel gi gik moti mopidhie cham e bath aora Nael notwo ma bar okak kendo cham bende noner molal nono.
8 And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.
Jolupo nobed gi lit mi ywagi, to jogo duto matego golowu e aora Nael; kod joma chiko gokgi e pi nosienyre.
9 And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.
Jogo machweyo lewni mag tworo nobed mool kendo joma chweyo gik mabeyo chunygi nonyosre.
10 And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.
Jogo maloso lewni nobed gi parruok, kendo jogo mayudo misara nobed gi chuny mool.
11 They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
Jotelo mag Zoan gin ji mofuwo, kendo jongʼad rieko mag Farao chiwo paro manono. Ere kaka iwacho ne Farao niya, “An achiel kuom jorieko, ma nopuonjore kuom ruodhi machon?”
12 Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
Koro ere jogi mariekgo? Koro ginyisiane mondo ingʼe gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego chano timo ne Misri.
13 The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.
Jotend Zoan osebedo joma ofuwo, jodong Memfis osewuondi; kendo jotelogi osewito jo-Misri.
14 Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼogi ma chunygi ool; gimiyo jo-Misri tangni e gik moko duto ma otimo, machal mana ka jakongʼo madwanyore kama ongʼokie.
15 Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
Onge gimoro amora ma Misri nyalo timo maber, bedni en jatelo kata ngʼama otelne, obed bad othith kata odundu.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
E kindeno jo-Misri nochal mana ka mon. Gibiro kirni ka luoro omakogi ka gineno kum maa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
17 And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.
Piny Juda nomi luoro maduongʼ omak jo-Misri. Ji duto ma nowinj nying Juda kihondko nogo, nikech gima Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechano timonegi.
18 In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.
E kindeno mier madongo abich mag Misri nowuo gi dho jo-Kanaan kendo ginikwongʼre ni ginitine Jehova Nyasaye Maratego. Achiel kuomgi noluongi ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Kethruok.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:
E kindeno kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye nobedi e dier piny Misri kendo kidi mar rapar mar Jehova Nyasaye noket e tongʼne.
20 and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.
Obiro bedo ranyisi kendo rapar ne Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e piny Misri. Ka giywagore ne Jehova Nyasaye nikech joma sandogi, to obiro oronegi jawar kendo jakony, mi enoresgi.
21 And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye noyangre maler mi jo-Misri ngʼeye, kendo e kindeno giniyie kuom Jehova Nyasaye. Gibiro lame ka gitimone misengini kod chiwo mag cham; ka gisingore ne Jehova Nyasaye kendo gichopo singruokno.
22 And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
Jehova Nyasaye biro goyo Misri gi masiche, nogogi kendo bangʼe nochang-gi. Giniduogi ir Jehova Nyasaye, mi nowinj kwayogi kendo ochang-gi.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.
E kindeno yo maduongʼ nobedi koa Misri nyaka Asuria. Jo-Asuria nodhi Misri kendo jo-Misri bende nodhi Asuria. Jo-Misri kod jo-Asuria nolam kaachiel.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
E kindeno Israel nobed piny mar adek ka giriwore gi Misri kod Asuria mondo gibed gweth ne piny.
25 whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!
Jehova Nyasaye Maratego biro gwedhogi kawacho niya, “Agwedho jo-Misri ma gin joga, jo-Asuria ma gin chwechna kod jo-Israel ma gin girkeni mara.”
