Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the spring of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, —not in truth, nor in righteousness.
“Winjuru ma, yaye un joka Jakobo, miluongo ni jo-Israel kendo ma koth Juda, un ma ukwongʼoru gi nying Jehova Nyasaye kendo un muluongo nying Nyasach Israel, to ok e yo madiera kata makare;
2 For of the holy city they call themselves, and upon the God of Israel they stay themselves, —The Lord of hosts is his name.
un muluongoru ni weg dala maduongʼ maler kendo moketo genogi kuom Nyasach Israel, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, e nyinge:
3 The former things have I declared from the beginning; and out of my mouth went they forth, and I announced them: suddenly did I accomplish them, and they came to pass;
Ne akoro chon gik makoro osetimoregi, dhoga nohulogi mi namiyo gingʼere; bangʼe ne akelogi piyo magitimore.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, that like an iron sinew is thy neck, and thy brow of copper;
Nimar nangʼeyo wich tekou; ka leche mag ngʼutu ochungʼ, kendo pat wengeu tek ka nyinyo.
5 And I declared it to thee from the beginning; before yet it came to pass did I let thee hear it: lest thou should say, My idol hath done these things, and my graven image, and my molten image, have ordained them.
Kuom mano, ne anyisou magi duto chon, kapok negitimore, to ne asewachonugi, mondo omi kik uwach niya, ‘Nyisechena manono ema otimo magi; kido mopa mara kod nyasacha mar mula ema oselerona ma?’
6 Thou hast heard it; see it all now; and you—will you not declare it? I caused thee to hear new things, from this time, even hidden things which thou hadst not known.
Isewinjo wechegi, rang-gi ane duto. Donge ibiro yie kodgi? “Kochakore sani abiro nyisi gik manyien, gik mopondo mapok ingʼeyo.
7 Now are they created, and not from the beginning; and before the day [that I announced them] thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Gin gik mochwe sani, kendo mapok obudho; bende gin gik mapok iwinjo nyaka chil kawuono. Omiyo ok inyal wacho ni, ‘Ee, ne angʼeyogi.’
8 But neither hadst thou heard it; nor didst thou know; nor had in ancient times thy ear been opened; for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and a transgressor wast thou called from thy birth.
Chutho ok osewinjo kata mana ngʼeyo, nimar nyaka aa chon itu ne pok oyaw. To bende angʼeyo ni un gi mwandu kendo un oganda ma jopiem nyaka aa nywolu.
9 For the sake of my name will I defer my anger, and because of my praise will I restrain it toward thee, so that I may not cut thee off.
Agengʼo mirimba nikech nyinga awuon; kendo ahora mondo arit pakna, mondo omi kik atieku.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, though not into silver: I have approved thee in the crucible of affliction.
Asepwodhou, to ok kaka ipwodho fedha, kendo asetemou gi masira mager ka mach.
11 For my own sake will I do it: for how would [my name] be dishonored? and my glory will I not give unto another.
Asetimo kamano kuom rito nyinga, mana kuom rito nyinga awuon, emomiyo asetimo ma. Ere kaka dayie mondo nyinga oyany? Ok ayie mondo duongʼ ma imiya, omi ngʼato machielo.”
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel, my called one; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
“Winjauru, yaye joka Jakobo in Israel ma aseluongo: An e en; an ema okwongo kendo an ema ogik.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned out the heavens: I call unto them, they stand forward together.
Lweta owuon ema ne oketo mise mar piny kendo lweta ma korachwich ema ne oyaro polo, ka aluongogi to giwuok kadiemo wangʼ.
14 Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear: Who among them hath told these things? He whom the Lord loveth, will do his pleasure on Babylon, and [display] his arm [on] the Chaldeans.
“Chokreuru un duto mondo uwinji: Ere kata achiel kuom nyiseche manono mosehulo gima biro timore? Oganda ma osiep Jehova Nyasaye ema nokel kum mare kuom Babulon; mirimbe nobed kuom jo-Babulon.
15 I, even I, have spoken it, I have also called him: I have brought him, and he shall be prosperous on his way.
An, kendo en An adier, ema asewacho kamano; ee, an ema aseluonge. Abiro kele, kendo enobed gi loch kuom gik mochano timo.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; never from the beginning have I spoken in secret; from the time that it occurred, was I there. And now the Lord Eternal hath sent me, and his Spirit.
“Sud machiegni koda mondo iwinj wachni: “Pok apandonu gimoro nyaka ne achak wuoyo kodu; kendo e kinde mane magi timore, ne antie.” To koro Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto oseora, gi Roho mare.
17 Thus hath said the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am the Lord thy God who teach thee for thy profit, who lead thee by the way thou shouldst go.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jaresni, Ngʼat Maler mar Israel wacho: “An e Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi, mapuonji gima owinjore kodi kendo manyisi yo monego iluw.
18 Oh that thou hadst but listened to my commandments! then would have been as a river thy peace, and thy prosperity as the waves of the sea:
Ka dine bed ni irito chikena, kwe mari domol mana ka aora, kendo timni makare digingre mana ka apaka mar nam.
19 And then would have been as the sand thy seed, and the offspring of thy body like the pebbles of the sea-shore; yet shall his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Nyikwayi dine obedo mana ka kwoyo, to nyithindi dobedo mangʼeny mokalo akwana; nying-gi ok nongʼad oko kendo ok noruch e wangʼa.”
20 Go forth out of Babylon, flee away from the Chaldeans, with the voice of singing declare, announce this, carry it forth as far as the end of the earth; say, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Wuoguru Babulon, ringuru ua ir jo-Babulon! Landuru wachni kendo unyis ji duto ka ugoyo koko gimor. Landuru wachni e tungʼ piny niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osereso jotichne ma joka Jakobo.”
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; waters out of the rock he let drop down for them: and he cleaved the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Kane otelonegi e thim, to riyo ne ok oloyogi; ee, nomiyo pi owuoknegi e lwanda ka bubni kane obaro lwanda.
22 There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Jehova Nyasaye owacho niya, “Jaricho to onge gi kwe.”
