Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
Ma e wach mane Nyasaye onyiso Isaya wuod Amoz e fweny kuom Babulon:
2 “Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
Chunguru bandera ewi got motwo kendo gouru koko, gwelgiuru mondo gidonj e dhorangeye joma ogen.
3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
Asegolo chik ne joga maler; asechiko joga ma jolweny kakecho mondo gitim gima adwaro, jogo mamor kaloyo.
4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
Winjuru kaka koko wuok e gode; machalo mar oganda mangʼongo, en koko maduongʼ magore e kind pinjeruodhi, machalo mana gi ogendini mangʼeny mochokore kaachiel! Jehova Nyasaye Maratego choko oganda mangʼongo mar lweny.
5 They are coming in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
Gibiro ka gia e pinje man mabor, manie tungʼ piny mogik, Jehova Nyasaye kod gige mager mag lweny, biro mondo otiekgo pinyno duto.
6 Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
Denguru nimar odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye chiegni; odiechiengno biro ka gir kethruok maduongʼ mawuok e lwet Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
7 Therefore, all hands fail, And every heart of man melts.
Nikech wachni, lwet ngʼato ka ngʼato ne jony, kendo kihondko nogo chuny ji duto ma aa.
8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
Kibaji nogogi malich, rem gi kuyo bende noneg-gi; ginibed gi rem mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nongʼi wadgi malich ka midhiero omako.
9 Behold, the Day of YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from it.
Neuru, odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye biro, en odiechiengʼ malich man-gi mirima kod kum mager, mabiro weyo piny gunda, kendo joricho manie iye.
10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
Sulwe mag polo kod lergi ok nonenre. Wangʼ chiengʼ nolokre mudho, kawuok kendo dwe bende ok norieny.
11 “And I have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
Abiro kumo piny kuom timbene mamono, joricho kuom richogi. Abiro tieko wich teko ka mar josunga kendo abiro thiro sunga mar joma wangʼ-gi tek.
12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
Abiro miyo ji doko manok moloyo dhahabu mopwodhi, manok mana ka dhahabu ma aa Ofir.
13 Therefore I cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His anger.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nomi polo tetni, kendo piny noyiengni milengʼre; e chiengʼ onogo mar mirimbe mager.
14 And it has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
Mana kaka mwanda ma jodwar lawo, kod rombe maonge jakwath, e kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi biro dok ir joodgi owuon kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodog e pinygi.
15 Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by sword.
Ngʼato angʼata manomaki nochwo matho, jogo duto momaki noneg gi ligangla.
16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
Nyithindgi madhoth nochwad piny e wangʼ-gi ka gineno, utegi noyaki, kendo mondegi nomak githuon.
17 Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
Neuru, anakel jo-Media, ma ok dew fedha kendo ok gomb dhahabu mondo omonjgi.
18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
Gibiro chielo yawuowi matindo gi asere; ok giningʼwon-ne nyithindo madhoth, bende ok ginikech nyithindo matindo.
19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
Babulon ma en piny maber moloyo pinjeruodhi duto, kendo ma jo-Babulon sungerego, Nyasaye nokethi mana kaka noketho Sodom gi Gomora.
20 She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down there.
Onge ngʼat manochak obedi e iye kata dak kuno e tienge duto mabiro; onge ja-Arabu moro manodag kuno; bende onge jakwath mano kwa jambe kanyo.
21 And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip there.
To mana le mag thim ema nodag kanyo, kibwe nopongʼ utegi; tula bende nodag kanyo kendo nywok nolengʼre kanyo.
22 And howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
Ondiegi noywagre kuondegi mane gigeno, kibwe to noywe e ute mabeyo mag ruoth. Ndalo mag Babulon osekayo machiegni ma ok notony.
