< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaias the son of Amos I which he saw concerning Juda and Jerusalem in the days of Ozias, Joathan, Achaz, and Ezechias, kings of Juda.
Fweny ma wuoyo ewi Juda kod Jerusalem mane Isaya wuod Amoz oneno e ndalo loch Uzia gi Jotham gi Ahaz kod Hezekia mane gin ruodhi Juda.
2 Hear, O ye heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken. I have brought up children, and exalted them: but they have despised me.
Winji yaye polo! Chik iti, yaye piny! Nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo: asepidho nyithindo mobedo madongo, to gisepiem koda.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.
Rwath ongʼeyo wuon, kendo kanyna ongʼeyo kund wuon, to jo-Israel ok ongʼeya adier; joga awuon onge gi winjo.
4 Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children: they have forsaken the Lord, they have blasphemed the Holy One of Israel, they are gone away backwards.
Yaye oganda ma joricho, koth ji mogangore gi timbe mamono, kanyakla mar joma timbegi richo, nyithindo mochiwore ne timbe acheje! Giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye; gisejaro Jal Maler mar Israel giselokone ngʼegi.
5 For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? the whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad.
Angʼo momiyo pod usiko kudwaro kum? Angʼo momiyo usiko kungʼanyo? Wiyeu opongʼ gi adhonde kendo chunyu opongʼ gi lit.
6 From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein: wounds and bruises and swelling sores: they are not bound up, nor dressed, nor fomented with oil.
Kochakore e tiendu nyaka ewiu onge kama ngima, kendo upongʼ gi adhonde, kuonde moriemo, kod kuonde moridhore mapok oketie yath, mapok otwe kata wiroe yath.
7 Your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire: your country strangers devour before your face, and it shall be desolate as when wasted by enemies.
Pinyu odongʼ gunda, miechu madongo osewangʼ gi mach; puotheu jopinje mamoko osemau mana kuneno gi wangʼu, ma gidongʼ gundni mana ka joma wasigu oseriembo.
8 And the daughter of Sion shall be left as a covert in a vineyard, and as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, and as a city that is laid waste.
Nyar Sayun odongʼ ka kiru manie e puoth mzabibu, kata ka abila e puoth budho kendo ka dala maduongʼ ma wasigu omonjo.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha.
Ka dine Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok oweyo jomoko kuomwa otony, to dine wachalo gi jo-Sodom, adier dikoro ne wachalo kaka jo-Gomora.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha.
Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un jotelo mag Sodom, chikuru itu ne chike mag Nyasachwa un oganda man Gomora!
11 To what purpose do you offer me the multitude of your victims, saith the Lord? I am full, I desire not holocausts of rams, and fat of fatlings, and blood of calves, and lambs, and buck goats.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Misengini mangʼeny mutimogi amon-go.” Aol gi misengini miwangʼo pep mag imbe kaachiel gi boche mag jamni machwe. Ok amor gi remb rwedhi gi mag imbe kod mag nywogi.
12 When you came to appear before me, who required these things at your hands, that you should walk in my courts?
Ere ngʼama osekwayou gigo ka ubiro e nyima, donge mano en dwanyo hekalu mara maler.
13 Offer sacrifice no more in vain: incense is an abomination to me. The new moons, and the sabbaths, and other festivals I will not abide, your assemblies are wicked.
Kik ukel misengini maonge tich e nyima! Tik ubanino dungʼna marach, kendo sewni mutimo ka dwe opor, gi mag Sabato kata e chokruoge duto ok amorgo.
14 My soul hateth your new moons, and your solemnities: they are become troublesome to me, I am weary of bearing them.
Sewni mutimo ka dwe opor kod sewni moyier chido chunya, giselokore tingʼ mapek matura bende aol gi tingʼogi.
15 And when you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away my eyes from you: and when you multiply prayer, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood.
Ka utingʼo bedeu malo kulemo to anapandnu wangʼa, kendo kata ulem machal nade to ok anadwoku. Lweteu osechwero remo mangʼeny!
16 Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,
Lwokreuru mondo ubed maler. Goluru timbeu mamono e wangʼa!
17 Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.
Weuru timbeu maricho; to upuonjru timbe mabeyo! Dwaruru tim makare, kendo jiwuru joma ithiro. Bende nyaka une ni nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho oyal buchegi e yo makare kare.
18 And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo wapor wach, kata obedo ni richou kwar manade to ibiro luoki magibed matar ka pe, bende kata bed ni gikwar malich to nobed marachar ka pamba.
19 If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
Ka uyie kuoma muboloru kendo umako chikena duto, to unucham gik mabeyo mag piny;
20 But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
to ka udagi kendo ungʼanyo to ligangla notieku.” Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho.
21 How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
Neye kaka dala maduongʼ ma yande oluoro Nyasaye koro oselokore ochot! Kinde moko ne en kama adiera odakie, tim makare ne yudore, to tinde jonek ema opongʼe.
22 Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
Fedha magu oselokore chuoth nyinyo bende divai magu mogen oseruw gi pi.
23 Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow’s cometh not in to them.
Jotendu ongʼanyo kendo gin e kanyakla mar jokwoge, giduto gihero asoya, kendo gihero gik makonyogi giwegi. Ok giyal buche nyithind kiye kare, bende weche mamon ma chwogi otho okelo e nyimgi ok gidew.
24 Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, kendo Jehova Nyasaye mar kanyakla mar Israel wacho kama: “Anayud kwe kuom jok ma jara kendo nachul kuor ne wasika.
25 And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dress, and I will take away all thy tin.
Anachwadu gi masiche kendo anapwodhu maler, mi agol timbeu mamono duto.
26 And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.
Bangʼe anaduognu jongʼad bura makare kaka ne timore e ndalo machon, kendo jongʼad rieko mane nitie aa chakruok. Eka noluongu ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Tim Makare, Dala Maduongʼ Madiera Nitie.”
27 Sion shall be redeemed in judgment, and they shall bring her back in justice.
Sayun nopwodh gi bura makare bende joma oyie modak e iye norit kod adiera.
28 And he shall destroy the wicked, and the sinners together: and they that have forsaken the Lord, shall be consumed.
To joma ongʼanyo kod joricho duto gi joma oweyo Jehova Nyasaye notiek chuth.
29 For they shall be confounded for the idols, to which they have sacrificed: and you shall be ashamed of the gardens which you have chosen.
Wiu nokuodi gi tiend yiende mag ober ma umorgo kutimoe misengini, kendo unubed gi kuyo kuom puothe museyiero mondo ulemie.
30 When you shall be as an oak with the leaves falling off, and as a garden without water.
Ubiro chalo kaka yiend ober ma ite ner kendo kaka puodho ma ok yud pi.
31 And your strength shall be as the ashes of tow, and your work as a spark: and both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench it.
Ngʼat maratego e dieru nodok manyap, kendo tekone nowuog mana ka pilni, kendo gigo duto nowangʼ pep maonge ngʼama nyalo nego majno.
