Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
Wach mokor kuom piny Ongoro manie dho Nam: Mana kaka kalausi mager kudho koluwo piny man yo milambo, e kaka joma monjou biro wuok e piny motwo, piny masira.
2 A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
Fweny malich osenyisa ni: Jandhoko biro ndhoko, to jayeko biro yeko. Elam mondo omonje! Media mondo olwore koni gi koni! Abiro tieko lit duto mane okelo.
3 Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
Kaneno magi to apuodora ka rem rama e ringra, rem rama mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo; kibaji goya kuom gik mawinjo kendo midhiero omaka kuom gik ma aneno.
4 My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
Chunya bwok, denda tetni nikech luoro; gombo ma an-go mondo piny imre oselokorena masira.
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
Negiiko mesa mondo gimethi kendo gichiem, to apoya nono negipo kinyisogi, ni mondo giik gigegi mag lweny.
6 For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
Ruoth Nyasaye wachona niya, “Dhiyo mondo iket jangʼicho mondo odwok wach kuom gik moneno.
7 And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
Ka oneno geche lweny miywayo gi farese, gi joma oidho punde kata ngamia, to oikre kendo obed motangʼ.”
8 And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
Kendo jangʼicho nokok niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasacha pile ka pile asebedo kar ngʼicho, kendo otieno asiko e kara mar tich.
9 And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
Ero ngʼato biro koidho gach lweny miywayo gi farese. To ngʼatno nowacho niya, ‘Babulon osepodho, adier osepodho, adier osepodho, kendo nyisechene manono osetur matindo tindo!’”
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
Yaye ogandana mosenyon piny ka cham midino anyisou gima asewinjo koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel.
11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
Wach mokor kuom Duma: Ngʼato obiro ira koa Seir, kendo openja monwore niya, “Jarito odongʼ seche adi mondo piny oru? Jarito odongʼ seche adi mondo piny oru?”
12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
Eka jarito nodwoko niya, “Piny chiegni ru, to otieno bende biro chopo. Kidwaro penjo, to penji kendo imed penjo.”
13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
Wach mokor kuom jo-Arabu: Un jo-Dedan ma jo-ohala mawuotho ka gi kacha ka bworo e thim jo-Arabu,
14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
keluru pi ne joma riyo oloyo, to un mudak Tema, keluru chiemo ne joma oseringo ka pondone lweny.
15 For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
Giseringone ligangla, ne ligangla mowuodhi, ne atungʼ moywa kendo ne lweny mager.
16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
Ruoth Nyasaye wachona niya, “Mana kaka ja-otongʼo kwano hike achiel ma tije rumogo e kaka duongʼ mar Kedar norum.
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
Joma nok ma gin jolweny mag asere ma gin thuondi man Kedar ema notony. Jehova Nyasaye ma en Nyasach Israel osewacho.”
