< Isaiah 9 >

1 For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.
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 darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon 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, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
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 his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, Thou hast 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 For every boot stamped with fierceness, and every cloak rolled in blood, shall even be for burning, for fuel of fire.
Wuoch duto mag lweny kaachiel gi lewni motimo remo mag jolweny, ibiro ter e mach, ginibedi ramoki mar mach.
6 For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called Pele-joez-el-gibbor-Abi-ad-sar-shalom;
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 That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts doth perform 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 sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye oseoro wach ni okecho gi joka Jakobo, kendo wachno osechopo ne jo-Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:
Ji duto biro winjo wachno jo-Efraim kod joma odak Samaria duto, ma wuoyo gi sunga kod wangʼ teko kawacho niya,
10 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'
“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 Therefore the LORD doth set upon high the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies;
To Jehova Nyasaye biro miyo wasik Rezin teko mondo oked kodgi, adier obiro thuwogi kod wasigu.
12 The Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west; and they devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger 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 Yet the people turneth not unto Him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Kata obedo ni osekumogi kamano to ji pok odwogo ire bende pok gimanyo wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
14 Therefore the LORD doth cut off from Israel head and tail, palm-branch 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 elder and the man of rank, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
jodongo kod joma ogen e wich jo-Israel, to jonabi mapuonjo miriambo e iwe.
16 For they that lead this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Jotend ogandani osemiyo gilal kendo joma otelnegi bende oserwenyo.
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall He have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for every one is ungodly and an evil-doer, and every mouth speaketh wantonness. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
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 wickedness burneth as the fire; it devoureth the briers and thorns; yea, it kindleth in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in thick clouds 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 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land burnt up; the people also are as the fuel of fire; no man spareth 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 one snatcheth on the right hand, and is hungry; and he eateth on the left hand, and is not satisfied; they eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
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 together are against Judah. For all this His anger 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.
