< Isaiah 18 >
1 Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
Inine malit in piny man-gi bede mag aore mamor mag Kush,
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
ma oro jootene ka ngʼado nam gi yiedhi mohondhi gi oundho. Dhiuru, un joote ma tiendgi yot ir oganda ma roboche kendo ma dendgi poth, moluor kuonde duto, oganda ma tokgi tek mawacho dhok mopogore, kendo ma pinygi aore opogo migawo.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
Un ji duto manie piny, un mudak e piny, ka bandech lweny otingʼ malo ewi gode, to ununene kendo ka turumbete noywagi to unuwinje.
4 For thus hath the LORD said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachona: Abiro lingʼ thi kendo nangʼichi gie kar dakna mana, kaka piny kwe mos ka chiengʼ liet kendo kaka rumbi mar tho moko ndalo keyo.
5 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop off.
E kinde ma keyo podi ma mzabibu osemoyo kendo ma olembgi osechiek, enongʼadgi oko kod ratongʼ kendo enongʼad bedene molawore.
6 They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Giduto nowegi ne achudhe mae gode kendo ne le mag bungu, winy nochamgi e ndalo mag oro duto, ka le mag bungu to chamogi e ndalo chwiri duto.
7 In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
E kindeno chiwo noter e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Maratego koa kuom oganda ma roboche, kendo ma dendgi poth, moluor kuonde duto, oganda ma tokgi tek mawacho dhok mopogore kendo ma pinygi aore opogo. Chiwogi nokel ewi Got Sayun kama Nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nitie.
