Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O isles, unto me, and hearken, ye peoples, from far: the LORD hath called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother hath He made mention of my name;
Winjauru un joma odak e dho nembe, winjuru un pinje man mabor: Kane pok onywola Jehova Nyasaye ne oluonga koa e nywolna ne oluongo nyinga.
2 And He hath made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of His hand hath He hid me; and He hath made me a polished shaft, in His quiver hath He concealed me;
Ne omiyo lewa obedo ka ligangla mabith, e bwo tipo mar lwete ne opanda; ne omiyo abedo ka asere moywe maler kendo ne opanda e olalone.
3 And He said unto me: 'Thou art My servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.'
Ne owachona niya, “In e jatichna, Israel, kuomi ema abiro nyisoe duongʼ mara.”
4 But I said: 'I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God.'
To ne awacho ni, “Asetiyo matek kayiem nono; aseketho tekra kayiem nono. Kata kamano pokna ni e lwet Jehova Nyasaye kendo michna Nyasacha ema nigo.”
5 And now saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, and that Israel be gathered unto Him — for I am honourable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God is become my strength —
To koro Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama; jal mane ochweya e ich mondo abed jatichne, mondo adwok joka Jakobo kuome kendo achok jo-Israel ire, nimar aseyudo duongʼ e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Nyasacha ema osebedo tekrena.
6 Yea, He saith: 'It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the offspring of Israel; I will also give thee for a light of the nations, that My salvation may be unto the end of the earth.'
Owacho ni: “En gima tin ahinya mondo ibed jatichna kata mondo iduog dhood joka Jakobo, kendo mondo iduog jo-Israel manok mane odongʼ. Abiro miyo ibed ler mar ogendini, mondo iter wach warruokna e tunge piny duto.”
7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to him who is despised of men, to him who is abhorred of nations, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jares ji kendo Ngʼat Maler mar Israel wacho, ne ngʼat mane ogendini ochayo kendo ma en misumba jotend piny: “Ruodhi nochungʼni malo koneni, kendo jotelo koneno ma to nopodhni auma, nikech Jehova Nyasaye, jal ma ja-adiera ma en Ngʼat Maler mar Israel ema oseyieri.”
8 Thus saith the LORD: In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, “E ndalona mag kech abiro dwoko kwayoni, chutho ne akonyi e odiechiengʼ mar warruok; abiro riti mi ami ibed ngʼama kelo winjruok e kinda gi ji mondo ires piny, mi ipog ji kuonde ma yande odongʼ gunda,
9 Saying to the prisoners: 'Go forth'; to them that are in darkness: 'Show yourselves'; they shall feed in the ways, and in all high hills shall be their pasture;
kendo iwachne joma ni e twech ni, ‘Wuoguru oko,’ to joma ni e mudho ni, ‘Beduru thuolo!’ “Gibiro chiemo e bath yo kendo giniyud kuonde kwath e gode matindo.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst, neither shall the heat nor sun smite them; for He that hath compassion on them will lead them, even by the springs of water will He guide them.
Kech ok nokagi kata riyo ok nologi, bende liet mar kama otimo ongoro, kata chiengʼ marieny makech ok nomigi olo. Jal ma chunye opongʼ gi kech, ema notelnigi mi tergi kuonde sokni mag pi.
11 And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be raised on high.
Abiro loko godena duto yore kendo anabug yorena madongo duto maber.
12 Behold, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim.
To ne, ginibi ka gia mabor; moko kawuok yo nyandwat, moko kawuok yo yimbo, moko to nowuogi e gwenge mag Aswan.”
13 Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing, O mountains; for the LORD hath comforted His people, and hath compassion upon His afflicted.
Go koko nikech mor, yaye polo, bed gi ilo, yaye piny, weruru matek, un gode! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye kweyo chuny joge kendo obiro bedo gi kech ne joge machandore.
14 But Zion said: 'The LORD hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me.'
To Sayun nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼa; kendo Ruoth Nyasaye wiye osewil koda.”
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
“To bende dhako wiye diwil gi nyathi modhodho mi ok obedo gi kech e kothe mane onywolo. Kata ka dipo ni wiye nyalo wil, An to wiya ok nowil kodi.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before Me.
Ne, asendiko nyingi ei lweta kendo isiko ka ineno anena e wangʼa.
17 Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee.
Yawuoti noreti kaduogo iri kendo jogo manoyako gigi noringi kaduogo iri.
18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride.
Tingʼ wangʼi malo kendo ingʼi koni gi koni: mondo ine kaka yawuoti chokore kaduogo iri.” Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni nyithindi nochal gi thiwni madhako rwako kata ka law maber ma miaha rwako.
19 For thy waste and thy desolate places and thy land that hath been destroyed — surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
“Kata obedo ni osetieki midongʼ gunda kendo pinyi odongʼ nono, to koro ibiro yudo ni pinyi odoko matin ma ok oromo jogi dakie, kendo jogo mane otieki biro bedo kodi mabor.
20 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell.'
Nyithindo mane inywolo ka in e chandruok nowachni kiwinjo ni, Kaeni tin-nwa; dwarnwa kama lach mondo wadagie.
21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? And who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they?'
Eka inipenjri e chunyi ni, ‘En ngʼa mane onywolona jogi? Ne an gi kuyo kendo ne an migumba, ne otera e twech kendo ojwangʼa. En ngʼa manopidhogi? Ne adongʼ kenda, to jogi to oa kure?’”
22 Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up Mine ensign to the peoples, and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Winji, abiro luongo Ogendini, abiro chungo bandecha ne oganda kaka ranyisi, gibiro kelo yawuoti ka gitingʼogi e badgi kendo ginikel nyigi ka gitingʼogi e gokgi.
23 And kings shall be thy foster-fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers; they shall bow down to thee with their face to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD, for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me.
Ruodhi ema nobed kaka wuoneu kendo mond ruodhi ema nobed kaka mineu ma ritou. Ginikulre auma e nyimu ka wengegi ngʼiyo piny; kendo gininangʼ buru manie tiendu. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo joma oketo genogi kuoma ok noyud wichkuot.”
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of the victorious be delivered?
Bende dima jolweny maroteke gik ma giseyako, koso dires joma otwe e lwet ngʼama kwiny?
25 But thus saith the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; and I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachoni: “Ee, joma otwe inyalo gol e lwet jolweny maroteke, kendo ngʼama omaki inyalo gamo e lwet joma kwiny; anaked gi jogo makedo kodu, kendo anares nyithindu.
26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Abiro miyo joma sandou nocham ringregi giwegi mi anami gimer gi rembgi ka joma omadho kongʼo. Eka koth dhano duto manie piny nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye e Jawarni, Jaresni kendo Nyasaye Maratego mar Jakobo.”
