< Isaiah 43 >

1 But now thus says the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: "Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
To koro ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Nyasaye mane ochweyi, yaye Jakobo, Nyasaye mane ochweyi, yaye Israel: “Kik ibed maluor, nimar aseresi; kendo aseluongi gi nyingi ni in mara awuon.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and the flame will not scorch you.
Ka ikadho ei pige matut, to anabed kodi; kendo ka ungʼado aore to ok giniteru. Ka uwuotho e mach mager to ok nowangʼu, kata mana mach makakni ok nowangʼu.
3 For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachi, Nyasaye Maler mar Israel, ma Jawarni; achiwo Misri gi Kush kod Seba ka gir chudo mondo oresigo.
4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
Nikech in ngʼat makare kendo mogen e nyima kendo nikech aheri, abiro chiwo ji kar loi mondo aresigo kendo abiro chiwo ji mamoko mondo ochungʼ e loi.
5 Do not be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west.
Kik ibed maluor, nimar an kodi; abiro duogo nyithindi koa yo wuok chiengʼ, kendo abiro choko nyithindi moa yo podho chiengʼ.
6 I will tell the north, 'Give them up.' and tell the south, 'Do not hold them back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the farthest parts of the earth—
Abiro wachone joma odak nyandwat ni, ‘Wegi gidhi!’ Kendo ni joma odak milambo ni, ‘Kik ugengʼ-gi.’ Keluru yawuota moa mabor kaachiel gi nyiga koa e tunge piny,
7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.'"
ngʼato angʼata miluongo gi nyinga, ngʼat mane achweyo mondo omiya duongʼ, ngʼat mane achweyo kendo amiyo ngima.”
8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.
Keluru jogo man-gi wenge to ok nyal neno, to bende gin gi it to ok giwinj wach.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."
Ogendini duto chokore kanyakla kendo ji duto chokore kamoro achiel. En ngʼa kuomgi mane ofwenyo gima kama kapok otimore kendo mane owachonwa gigo mane otimore chon? Wegiuru gikel joneno mag-gi mondo onyiswa ane ni ne gin kare, eka joma owinjo owachi niya, “En adier.”
10 "You are my witnesses," says the LORD, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Un joneno maga ma wuoyo kuoma” kendo jotichna ma aseyiero, mondo mi ungʼe kendo uyie kuoma kendo ubed gingʼeyo ni An e Nyasaye. Onge Nyasaye moro ma nobetie kapok abet bende onge nyasaye moro manobi bangʼe.
11 I, I am the LORD; and besides me there is no savior.
An e Jehova Nyasaye adier, kendo onge jawar moro machielo makmana an.
12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says the LORD, "and I am God.
An awuon ema asenyisou, aseresou kendo asewachonu ni an ema asetimo magi ma ok nyiseche manono ma un-go e dieru. Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Un e joneno maga ni an e Nyasaye.”
13 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?"
Ee An ema asebetie nyaka aa chakruok. Gima amako onge ngʼama nyalo golo e lweta. En ngʼa manyalo ketho gima atimo?
14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler mar Israel ma jaresu wacho: “Nikech un, abiro oro ji Babulon mondo odhi oom jo-Babulon duto e twech, kotingʼ-gi e yiedhi mane gisungorego.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."
An e Jehova Nyasaye, Jal Maler, Jachwech Israel kendo Ruodhu.”
16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Jal manoloso yo e dier nam, kendo manoketo yo e kind pi mogingore,
17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):
bende namiyo geche lweny kod farese odonjo kuno, kaachiel gi jolweny duto maroteke, kendo negirumo kuno ma ok gichako gitingʼo wigi mi githo mana ka taya monegi.
18 "Do not remember the former things, and do not consider the things of old.
Koro awachonu niya, “Goluru chunyu oko e gik machon kendo weuru paro gik mosekadho.
19 Look, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Do you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Neuru, atimo gimoro manyien! Koro osechako timore, bende unene? Aloso yo e piny motimo ongoro kendo aketo aore kuonde mojwangʼ.
20 The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,
Le mag thim ma gin ondiegi kod tula miya duongʼ, nikech asemiyogi pi e piny motimo ongoro kendo aseketo aore kuonde mojwangʼ, mondo joga mayiero oyud pi modho,
21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.
gin ji mane achweyo ne an awuon, mondo omi gipaka.
22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.
“To kata kamano ne ok uluonga mondo akonyu, yaye Jakobo, useol koda, yaye Israel.
23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
Ok usechiwo rombe mondo otimnago misango miwangʼo pep, bende ok usemiya duongʼ gi misengini magu. Ok asemiyou tingʼ mapek mag chiwo mag cham, kata dwaro ni uwangʼna ubani.
24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.
Ne ok ungʼiewona gimoro amora mangʼwe ngʼar, bende ne ok udhila gi boche mag misengini. To richou kende ema ne tura, kendo ne uola mana gi kethou.
25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.
“An kende e jal magolo richou duto kendo ok achak apargi nikech mano e gima ahero timo.
26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.
Parnauru gik mane otimore chon, mondo wapim wechego kanyakla; kendo wachuru ane gik manyiso ni uonge gi ketho.
27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.
Kwaru mokwongo notimo richo; kendo jotendu nongʼanyona.
28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling."
Kuom mano abiro kuodo wi joma tiyo ei hekalu mau, kendo abiro jwangʼo Jakobo mondo otieki, mi Israel yud wichkuot.”
