Isaiah 32
1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
Winjuru, Ruoth nobed gi loch makare kendo jotelo nobed gi telo mar adier.
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
Ngʼato ka ngʼato nobed kar gengʼruok ne kalausi mana ka aore mamol e piny ongoro, kendo mana ka tipo mar Lwanda maduongʼ e piny motwo.
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
Eka wenge joma neno ok nochak ogengʼ, kendo joma ochiko itgi nowinj wach.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Chuny ngʼat mamuomore nowinj wach gi tiende kendo ngʼat ma radwal nowuo maber kendo maliw.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
Ok nochak oluong ngʼat mofuwo ni ngʼat malongʼo, kata ngʼat ma ja-miganga ni ngʼat ma ogen.
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
Nimar ngʼat mofuwo wacho weche mofuwo, kendo opongʼ gi richo: Otimo timbe mag richo kendo olando miriambo kuom Jehova Nyasaye; mi omon joma odenyo chamo gik monego gicham kendo joma riyo oloyo otamoe pi.
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
Ngʼat ma achach yorene richo, osiko ka chunye chano mana timo richo, kotieko jodhier gi miriambo kata obedo ni ywak mar joma ni e chandruok nikare.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
To ngʼat mogen loso weche mabeyo kendo kuom timbe makare miyo ochungʼ motegno.
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
Un mon maparo ni odak e ngima maber, auru malo kendo uwinj wachna, un nyiri modak gi kwe, winjuru gima awacho!
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
Bangʼ higa achiel, un ma uparo nudak mokwe, kibaji nogou; cham ok nochiegi, kendo keyo mar mzabibu ok nobedie.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Beduru moluor un mon maparo nodak e ngima maber; beduru mokuyo, un nyiri maparo nodak gi kwe! Lonyreuru duge kendo utwe piende gugru enungou.
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
Ywaguru ka ugoyo agogu nikech puothe momewo, nikech olembe mag mzabibu,
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
kendo kuom piny joga, piny mopongʼ gi kuthe kod pedo, ee, ywaguru udi ma yande mor opongʼo kendo kuom dala maduongʼ mar mor gi ilo masani odongʼ nono.
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
Kama ochiel motegno nojwangʼ, dala maduongʼ nodongʼ gunda; kama ochiel motegno mag siro lweny kod kar ngʼicho nodongʼ kama punda bukore, kod kar kwadh jamni,
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
nyaka chop Roho ol kuomwa koa malo, kendo piny motwo nolokre kuonde mamiyo, mi kuonde mamiyo nonenre ka bungu.
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
Adiera nobedie e piny motwo, mi tim makare nodag e puodho mamiyo.
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
Olemb tim makare nobed kwe; to tim makare nokel horuok gi chir nyaka chiengʼ.
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
Joga nodag kuonde ma kwe nitie, e mier moger motegno, kendo kuonde ma kwe nitie ma koko ongee.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Kata obedo ni pe nolwer bunge kendo dala maduongʼ nopodh chuth,
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
to mano kaka inibed ngʼama ogwedhi, ka ichwoyo chambi e bath aore duto, kendo ka iweyo jambi kod punde magi wuotho awuotha kaka ohero.
