Isaiah 33
1 Tragedy is coming to you, you destroyer who has not experienced destruction yourself, you deceiver who has not experienced deception yourself! When you have finished with your destroying, you will be destroyed yourself. Then you are finished with your deceiving, you will be deceived yourselves.
Unune malit un joma osetieko ji, to pok otieku! Unune malit un joma osendhogo ji, to un pok ondhogu! Ka uweyo tieko ji to notieku; bende ka uweyo ndhogo ji to nondhogu.
2 Lord, please be kind to us; we put our confidence in you. Be the strength we rely on every morning; be our salvation in times of trouble.
Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, yie ikechwa; nimar chunywa dwari. Miwae teko okinyi ka okinyi, kendo bednwa kar resruok, e kinde mag chandruok.
3 When you roar, the peoples run away; when you prepare for action, the nations scatter!
Ka dwondi omor to ji ringo; ka ia malo to ogendini ke.
4 You plunder defeated enemy armies like caterpillars eating up plants; like an attack of swarming locusts.
Yaye un ogendini, mwandu noyaki mana ka kama nyithi bonyo omonjo; kendo ji noyak mwandugi, mana kaka bonyo monjo piny.
5 The Lord is praised for he lives in highest heaven; he has filled Zion with justice and right.
Nying Jehova Nyasaye otingʼ malo, nimar odak e polo; obiro pongʼo Sayun gi tim makare kod adiera.
6 He will be your constant support throughout your lives an abundant source of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. Reverence for the Lord is what makes Zion rich.
Enobed mise mar adier e ndalou, kar mwandu mar resruok gi rieko kod ngʼeyo; luoro Jehova Nyasaye e rayaw mar mwanduni.
7 But look! Even your bravest soldiers are crying loudly in the street; the messengers you sent to ask for peace are weeping bitterly.
To neuru kaka thuondige ywak malit e wangʼ yore; joote ma oseor mondo odwar kwe ywak malit.
8 Your highways are deserted; nobody's traveling on your roads anymore. He breaks the treaty; he despises the witnesses; he doesn't care about anybody.
Yore osedongʼ nono, kendo onge jowuoth e yo. Winjruok osekethi mi joma nobedo joneno ok dew, kendo onge ngʼama omi luor.
9 Israel is in mourning and fades away; Lebanon withers in shame; the fields of Sharon have become a desert; the forests of Bashan and Carmel have shed their leaves.
Piny ywak kendo dok chien, Lebanon ni e wichkuot kendo okethore, Sharon olokore ongoro ka Araba, kendo Bashan gi Karmel oyaki modongʼ nono.
10 “But now I'm going to intervene!” says the Lord. “I'm prepared to act! I will show myself to be above all others!
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Koro abiro aa malo, mondo anyisu duongʼna gi tekona.
11 All you give birth to is only dry grass, all you deliver is just stubble. Your breath is a fire that will burn you up.
Ubiro mako ich to unywolo yamo; muya muyweyo en mach ma tiekou.
12 You people will be burned to ashes like thorns that are cut down and thrown into the fire.
Ogendini nowangʼ, mi lokre pidhe mag buru, kendo mana kaka kudho mobet e bungu enowangʼ gi mach!”
13 Those of you who are far away, recognize what I have accomplished; those of you who are nearby, recognize how powerful I am.”
Un mudak mabor, winjuru gima asetimo, un mudak machiegni ngʼeuru tekona!
14 The sinners who live in Zion tremble with fear; those who are irreligious are overcome with terror. They ask, “Who can live with this fire that consumes everything? Who can live among such everlasting burning?”
Joricho man Sayun, kihondko osemako; kibaji ogoyo joma okia nyasaye, mi gisepenjore kendgi niya, “En ngʼa kuomwa manyalo dak kod mach mawengʼo magerni? Koso en ngʼa kuomwa manyalo dak kod mach maliel maonge gikone?”
15 Those who live right and speak the truth, those who refuse to profit from extortion and refuse to take bribes, who don't listen to plots to kill people, who close their eyes rather than look at evil.
Ngʼatno mawuotho e ratiro kendo wacho gima adiera, ma tamore yudo ohala e yor mecho kendo ok oyie kawo asoya, ngʼatno ma ok chik ite e chenro mar neko, kendo odino wengene e neno timbe mamono,
16 They will live on high; they will be protected by the mountain fortresses; they will always be provided with food and will always have water.
ma e ngʼama nodagi kuonde motingʼore gi malo, ma kare mar pondo nobedi got mochiel gohinga motegno. Chiembe ibiro chiw, kendo pi ok nodwon-ne.
17 You will see the king in his wonderful appearance, and you will view a land that stretches into the distance.
Wengeni biro neno ruoth kober kendo iningʼi piny molandore malach.
18 In your mind you will think about the terrifying things that were expected, and then ask yourself, “Where are the enemy officials—the scribes who were to record events, the treasurers who were to weigh the looted money, the surveyors who were to count and destroy the towers?”
E pachi inipar masiche machon: “Ere jatelo maduongʼ cha? Ere ngʼatno mane okawo osuru? Ere jatelo mochungʼne kuonde ngʼicho man malo?”
19 You won't see these offensive people anymore with their barbaric language that sounds like someone stammering and is impossible to understand.
Ok inichak ine jonjorego kendo, jogo ma wechegi oyombore, kendo mawacho dhok matek winjo.
20 On the contrary, you'll see Zion as a festival city. You will view Jerusalem as a quiet and peaceful place. It will be like a tent that's never taken down, whose tent-pegs are never pulled up, whose guy ropes never snap.
Ka irango Sayun, dala maduongʼ mar sewniwa moyier; ibiro neno Jerusalem kama kwe nitie, hema ma ok bi muki; loje mage ok nopudhi, kata tondene ok nochodi.
21 Right here our majestic Lord will be like a place of broad rivers and waters that no enemy ship with oars can cross—no great ship can pass.
Kanyo Jehova Nyasaye biro bedonwa Jal Maratego. Kanyo nochalnwa ka aore kod mago matindo. Yiedhi man-gi tanga ok nokwangʼ kanyo, meli maduongʼ ok nokwangʼ e aore.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king. He is the one who will save us.
Nimar Jehova Nyasaye e jangʼadnwa bura, Jehova Nyasaye e jaketonwa chik, kendo Jehova Nyasaye e ruodhwa; en ema obiro resowa.
23 The rigging on your ship hangs loose so the mast isn't secure and the sail can't be spread. Then all the looted treasure you're carrying will be divided among the victors—even those who are lame will have their share.
Tondegi mag meli obwodhore: Tanga ok otwe motegno, ok ginyal kwangʼ maber. Eka gik moyaki ibiro pogi kendo kata mana joma rongʼonde noyud pok.
24 Nobody in Israel will say, “I'm sick,” and those who live there will have their guilt removed.
Onge ngʼama odak Sayun manowachi niya, “Atuo,” kendo richo mag joma odak kanyo nowenegi.
