Isaiah 40
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God.
Houru chuny joga, hogiuru, Nyasachu wacho kamano.
2 Bid Jerusalem take heart, and proclaim unto her, that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off; that she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
Wuouru gi muolo ne Jerusalem, kendo uwachne, ni ndalone mag chandruok oserumo, bende ni richone osewene, kendo oseyudo kum nyadiriyo koa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye nikech richone duto.
3 Hark! one calleth: 'Clear ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make plain in the desert a highway for our God.
Ngʼat moro kok niya: “Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru Nyasachwa yo moriere tir, e piny motimo ongoro e thim.
4 Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;
Holo ka holo nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie; yore motimo gogni nobed maler, kendo kuonde motimo gode nobed pewe.
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'
Eka duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre kendo ji duto biro nene. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osewacho kamano.”
6 Hark! one saith: 'Proclaim!' And he saith: 'What shall I proclaim?' 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field;
Dwol moro wacho niya, “Tingʼ dwondi iywagi.” To ne apenjo niya, “Ere gima aywago?” “Dhano duto chalo gi lum, kendo bergi duto chalo mana gi maua manie pap.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the LORD bloweth upon it — surely the people is grass.
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny ka much Jehova Nyasaye okudhogi. Chutho dhano chalo mana gi lum.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever.'
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny, to wach Nyasachwa osiko manyaka chiengʼ.”
9 O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'
In mikelo wach maber ne Sayun, dhi ewi got malo. In mikelo wach maber ne Jerusalem, tingʼ dwondi malo ka ikok matek, tingʼ dwondi malo, kik ibed maluor; wach ne mier mag Juda niya, “Eri Nyasachu nika!”
10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.
Neuru, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro gi teko, kendo loch ni e lwete. Neuru, obiro gi pok mare, kendo pokne luwo bangʼe.
11 Even as a shepherd that feedeth his flock, that gathereth the lambs in his arm, and carrieth them in his bosom, and gently leadeth those that give suck.
Orito rombene mana kaka jakwath: Ochoko nyirombene e bade, kendo oriwogi e kore kotelo maber ni rombe man-gi nyithindo.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
En ngʼa mosepimo pi e chuny lwete kata mana pimo lach mar polo gi lwete? En ngʼa ma osechoko buru manie piny e atonga, kata pimo gode madongo gi matindo e rapim?
13 Who hath meted out the spirit of the LORD? Or who was His counsellor that he might instruct Him?
En ngʼa mosefwenyo pach Jehova Nyasaye, koso en ngʼa mosebedo kaka jangʼadne rieko?
14 With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?
En ngʼa mane Jehova Nyasaye openjo mondo opuonje, koso en ngʼa mane onyise yo makare? En ngʼa ma nopuonje rieko koso en ngʼa mane onyise yor ngʼeyo?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance; behold the isles are as a mote in weight.
Adier ogendini chalo mana ka pi matin modongʼ e dapi; ee, gichalo mana ka buru momoko e ratil, opimo chula mag nembe e ratil mana ka buru mayom.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for burnt-offerings.
Yiende mag Lebanon ok oromo moko mach mar kendo mar misango, kata le man kuno nok ma ok oromo timogo misango miwangʼo pep.
17 All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by Him as things of nought, and vanity.
Ogendini duto ok gimoro e nyime, okwanogi ka gik manono, maonge tich.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto Him?
En ngʼa ma dipim gi Nyasaye? Koso en kido mane madiwach ni chal kode?
19 The image perchance, which the craftsman hath melted, and the goldsmith spread over with gold, the silversmith casting silver chains?
To nyiseche manono, jatheth nyalo loso kendo jatheth nyalo bawe gi dhahabu, mi olosne thiwni mar fedha.
20 A holm-oak is set apart, he chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning craftsman to set up an image, that shall not be moved.
Ngʼat modhier ma ok nyal golo chiwo machalo kama, yiero yien ma ok tow. Omanyo japecho molony mondo olosne kido ma ok nyal podho piny.
21 Know ye not? hear ye not? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundations of the earth?
Donge ungʼeyo Koso donge usewinjo? Pok owachnu nyaka aa chakruok? Koso pok wachno odonjonu nyaka ne chwe pinyni.
22 It is He that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
Nyasaye obet e kom duongʼne kuma bor moyombo piny kendo joma ni e polo ngʼeny machalo kama ongogo ochokoree. Oyaro polo mana ka tipo maduongʼ kendo oyarogi mana ka hema midakie.
23 That bringeth princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as a thing of nought.
Odwoko ruodhi piny kendo omiyo jotelo duto mag pinyni bet kanono.
24 Scarce are they planted, scarce are they sown, scarce hath their stock taken root in the earth; when He bloweth upon them, they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
Ka okudhogi gi muche to giner mi kalausi dhi kodgi ka mihudhwe, nikech gichalo gi kodhi mokom machiegni, ma tiendgi pok ochwowo lowo.
25 To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith the Holy One.
Nyasaye Maler penjo niya, “En ngʼa madupima-go? Koso en ngʼa madirom koda?”
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth.
Tingʼuru wengeu malo kendo ungʼi polo: En ngʼa manochweyo gigi duto? Donge en ema nomiyo sulwe manie kor polo obetie kokelogi achiel kachiel, koluongo moro ka moro gi nyinge. Onge moro kuomgi molal nikech tekone duongʼ kod nyalone.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'?
Yaye joka Jakobo angʼo momiyo uwuoyo, angʼo momiyo ungʼur, yaye jo-Israel, kuwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dew yorena; kendo ni yorena ok okwan ka gimoro gi Nyasacha.”
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
Donge ungʼeyo? Koso pok uwinjo? Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ kendo Jachwech mar piny duto. Ok nobed mool bende ok nonyosre, kendo pache onge ngʼama nyalo ngʼeyo.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.
Omiyo joma ool teko kendo omedo joma tekregi orumo bedo motegno.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
Jomatindo nyalo bedo mool mi nyosre, kendo yawuowi nyalo chwanyore mi podhi,
31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
to joma oketo genogi kuom Jehova Nyasaye tekregi nodwogi. Gibiro huyo mana ka ongo mafuyo gi bwombe; gibiro ringo to ok gibi bedo mool, bende gibiro wuotho to tekregi ok norum.
