< Isaiah 9 >

1 Yet the darkenesse shall not be according to the affliction that it had when at the first hee touched lightly the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, nor afteward when he was more grieuous by the way of the sea beyond Iorden in Galile of the Gentiles.
Kata kamano, joma ne nigi chandruok ok nochak obed gikuyo kendo. E ndalo mosekadho Nyasaye nomiyo piny Zebulun gi piny Naftali odoko pinje michayo, to e ndalo mabiro Jehova Nyasaye notingʼ malo Galili mar ogendini man yo nam modak e tiend aora Jordan:
2 The people that walked in darkenes haue seene a great light: they that dwelled in the land of the shadowe of death, vpon them hath the light shined.
Joma wuotho e mudho oseneno ler maduongʼ; jogo modak e piny man-gi mudho mandiwa, ler oserienynegi.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased their ioye: they haue reioyced before thee according to the ioye in haruest, and as men reioyce when they deuide a spoyle.
Isemiyo piny oyarore kendo isemedo morgi, mi gibedo gi ilo e nyimi mana kaka oganda bedo gi mor e ndalo keyo, kendo mana kaka ji bedo gi mor ka gipogo gik ma oyaki.
4 For the yoke of their burthen, and the staffe of their shoulder and the rod of their oppressour hast thou broken as in the day of Midian.
Mana kaka e kinde mane olo jo-Midian e lweny, iseturo jok mane turogi, kaachiel gi lodi mane gitingʼo e gokni, ma gin ludh ngʼama sandogi.
5 Surely euery battell of the warriour is with noyse, and with tumbling of garments in blood: but this shall be with burning and deuouring of fire.
Wuoch duto mag lweny kaachiel gi lewni motimo remo mag jolweny, ibiro ter e mach, ginibedi ramoki mar mach.
6 For vnto vs a childe is borne, and vnto vs a Sonne is giuen: and the gouernement is vpon his shoulder, and he shall call his name Wonderfull, Counseller, The mightie God, The euerlasting Father, The prince of peace,
Nimar osenywolnwa nyathi, adier osemiwa wuowi, kendo loch nobedi e lwete. Noluong nyinge ni Jabura Mahono, Nyasaye Maratego, Wuoro Manyaka Chiengʼ kendo Ruodh Kwe.
7 The increase of his gouernement and peace shall haue none end: he shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and vpon his kingdome, to order it, and to stablish it with iudgement and with iustice, from hencefoorth, euen for euer: the zeale of the Lord of hostes will performe this.
Lochne gi kwe mare nobed maonge giko. Enobed e kom loch mar Daudi kendo e pinyruodhe, bende enogure motegno ka orite gi adiera kod tim makare, chakre kawuono nyaka chiengʼ. Jehova Nyasaye Maratego notim ma kuom tekone owuon.
8 The Lord hath sent a worde into Iaakob, and it hath lighted vpon Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye oseoro wach ni okecho gi joka Jakobo, kendo wachno osechopo ne jo-Israel.
9 And all the people shall knowe, euen Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and presumption of the heart,
Ji duto biro winjo wachno jo-Efraim kod joma odak Samaria duto, ma wuoyo gi sunga kod wangʼ teko kawacho niya,
10 The brickes are fallen, but we will build it with hewen stones: the wilde figge trees are cut downe, but we will change them into ceders.
“Ute mag matafare osepodho, to wabiro gedo kendo kod kite mopa, bende kata obedo ni yiend ngʼowu osetongʼ to wabiro pidho yiend sida kargi.”
11 Neuerthelesse the Lord will raise vp the aduersaries of Rezin against him, and ioyne his enemies together.
To Jehova Nyasaye biro miyo wasik Rezin teko mondo oked kodgi, adier obiro thuwogi kod wasigu.
12 Aram before and the Philistims behinde, and they shall deuoure Israel with open mouth: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Jo-Aram mane oa yo wuok chiengʼ kod jo-Filistia mane oa yo podho chiengʼ; osetieko jo-Israel pep. Kata ka magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
13 For the people turneth not vnto him that smiteth them, neither doe they seeke the Lord of hostes.
Kata obedo ni osekumogi kamano to ji pok odwogo ire bende pok gimanyo wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
14 Therefore will the Lord cut off from Israel head and taile, branche and rush in one day.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye biro ngʼado joma ogen kod ji ajia mag Israel, othith kod odundu e odiechiengʼ achiel;
15 The ancient and the honorable man, he is the head: and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the taile.
jodongo kod joma ogen e wich jo-Israel, to jonabi mapuonjo miriambo e iwe.
16 For the leaders of the people cause them to erre: and they that are led by them are deuoured.
Jotend ogandani osemiyo gilal kendo joma otelnegi bende oserwenyo.
17 Therefore shall the Lord haue no pleasure in their yong men, neither will he haue compassion of their fatherlesse and of their widowes: for euery one is an hypocrite and wicked, and euery mouth speaketh follie: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out stil.
Kuom mano Ruoth Nyasaye ok nobed mamor gi jomatindo bende ok nokech nyithi kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho, nikech ji duto opongʼ gi richo kendo timo timbe mamono bende dhogi opongʼ gi weche mochido. To Kata ka magi duto osetimore to mirimbe ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
18 For wickednesse burneth as a fire: it deuoureth the briers and the thornes and will kindle in the thicke places of the forest: and they shall mount vp like the lifting vp of smoke.
Adier timbe mamono chalo gi mach maliel; ma wangʼo pedo kod kuthe, kendo omiyo bungu modinore wangʼ mi dhuol iro maduongʼ mochomo malo.
19 By the wrath of the Lord of hostes shall the land be darkened, and the people shall be as the meate of ye fire: no man shall spare his brother.
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye Maratego biro wangʼo piny, kendo ji ema nobed ramoki mar mach, kendo onge ngʼat mano ngʼwon-ne nyawadgi.
20 And he shall snatch at the right hand, and be hungrie: and he shall eate on the left hand, and shall not be satisfied: euery one shall eate ye flesh of his owne arme.
E bathe korachwich gibiro mecho to pod gidenyo adenya; to e bathe koracham gibiro chiemo to ok giniyiengʼ. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nocham mana ringre nyathine owuon.
21 Manasseh, Ephraim: and Ephraim Manasseh, and they both shall be against Iudah yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Manase biro chamo Efraim kendo Efraim nocham Manase; giduto ginibed wasik Juda. Kata ka magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
