Isaiah 51
1 [Yahweh says], “You people who desire to act righteously/justly, who want to do what I want you to do, listen to me! Think about Abraham! [It is as though] [MET] he was a huge rock cliff; and when you [people of Israel became a nation], [it was as though] [MET] you were cut from that rock [DOU].
Winjauru, un mumanyo tim makare kendo udwaro Jehova Nyasaye: Ngʼi aneuru lwanda mane ogolue, ranganeuru kama ne okuny mogolue;
2 Think about your ancestor Abraham and [his wife] Sarah, of whom [all of] you are descendants. When I first spoke to Abraham, he had no children. But after I blessed him, he had a huge number of descendants.
paruru Ibrahim wuonu kod Sara mane onywolou. Ne en mana ngʼat achiel kende kane aluonge kendo nagwedhe mi aloke oganda maduongʼ.
3 [Some day I], Yahweh, will encourage his descendants [again], and I will comfort all [the people who live in] the ruins [of Jerusalem]. The desert in that area will become like Eden, like the garden that I, Yahweh, [made/planted]. All the people there will be joyful and happy; they will thank me and sing.
Jehova Nyasaye biro hoyo chuny Sayun adier; kendo obiro bedo gi kech kuom kuondene mokethore; enolok kuondene motimo ongoro chal ka Eden, kendo kuondene modongʼ gunda chal ka puoth Jehova Nyasaye. Mor gi ilo kaachiel gi erokamano gi wer mamit noyud kuome.
4 My people of Judah, listen carefully [DOU] to me, because [I want you to] proclaim my laws; the just/right things that I do will be [like] [MET] a light for the people of the nations.
Winjauru un joga, chikuru itu un ogandana: Abiro golo chik kendo bucha makare nobed ler ne ogendini.
5 I will soon/quickly rescue you [DOU]; by my power [MTY] I will bring you back [from being exiled in Babylonia] [DOU]. The people who live on islands in the ocean will wait for me [to help them], confidently expecting for me to use my power [MTY].
Adiera mara sudo machiegni piyo, warruokna chiegni, kendo abiro ngʼado bura makare ne ogendini. Joma odak e dho nembe biro ngʼiya ka gin gi geno ni abiro resogi gi tekona.
6 Look up at the sky, and look at the earth, [and see what they are like now], because [some day] the sky will disappear like [SIM] smoke, and the earth will wear out like [SIM] old clothes wear out, and people on the earth will die like gnats/flies. But I will rescue/save you, and you will remain free forever, and I will rule you righteously/fairly forever.
Tingʼ wangʼi malo ingʼi polo, bende rang piny gie polo, nikech polo nolal nono mana ka iro, to piny bende biro ti mana ka law kendo oganda modak e iye notho mana ka lwangʼni. To resruok makelo nosiki nyaka chiengʼ kendo adiera mara ok norum.
7 You people who know what things are right to do, and who know in your inner beings [what is written in] my laws, listen to me! Do not be afraid of people who taunt/insult you; do not be disturbed/upset when people revile you,
Winjauru un joma ongʼeyo tim makare, un oganda mondiko chikena e chunyu: Kik uluor weche midiro mag dhano kata luoro ayany mag ji.
8 because [some day they will be destroyed] like [MET] clothing that is eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches), like wool garments that have been eaten by worms. I will save you people, and you will be saved forever.”
Nimar olwenda biro chamogi duto ka law; kendo kudni nochamgi mana ka yie rombe. To adiera mara nosiki manyaka chiengʼ, kendo resruok makelo ok norum e kind tienge gi tienge.
9 Yahweh, wake up [and do something for us]! Show your power! Do mighty things like you did long ago, when you stabbed [RHQ] that sea monster/dragon Rahab and cut it into pieces.
Aa malo, Aa malo! Jiw badi motegno, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; aa malo kendo ijiwri, mana kaka ne ijiwori chon e ndalo mokadho. Donge in ema nitieko ondiek nam miluongo ni Rahab, mingʼado matindo tindo?
10 Surely you are [RHQ] the one who caused the [Red] Sea to become dry and made a path through that deep water in order that your people could cross it!
Donge in ema nomiyo nam oduono, ma gin pige mano chokore kuonde matut, kendo niloso yo e kind nam matut mondo joma ne ireso ongʼadi kadhi loka cha?
11 And those whom Yahweh will rescue [from being exiled in Babylonia] will [similarly] return to Jerusalem, singing. Their being joyful forever will be [like] [MET] a crown on their heads. They will not be sad or mourn any more; they will be [completely] joyful and happy.
Joma Jehova Nyasaye osereso nodwogi. Ginidonji e dala Sayun ka giwer; mor mochwere nobed kuomgi. Ginibed gi mor kod ilo, kendo kuyo gi parruok nolal nono kuomgi.
12 [Yahweh says], “I am the one who encourages you. So (why are you/you should not be) [RHQ] afraid of humans who will [wither and disappear like] [MET] grass.
“An, kendo en An e Jal mahoyo chunyu. Angʼo momiyo uluoro yawuot dhano adhana matho, kendo maner mana ka lum,
13 (Why have you/You should not have) [RHQ] forgotten [me], Yahweh, the one who created your nation, the one who stretched out the sky and laid the foundations of the earth. (Why are you/You should not be) [RHQ] continually afraid of those who are angry with you and (oppress you/treat you cruelly) and want to get rid of you. [You should not be afraid of them now], because those angry people have now disappeared!
momiyo wiwu owil gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Jachwechu, Jal mane oyaro polo kendo oketo mise mar piny, momiyo udak gi kihondko pile, nikech kum muyudo kuom ngʼama sandou, kendo oikore mar tiekou. Jal masandouno, ere gima geroneno ditim?
14 Soon you people who have been caused to be slaves [in Babylonia] will be freed! You will not remain in prison, and you will not die of hunger,
Joma ni e twech ma luoro omako ibiro gony machiegni; ok ginitho e kuondegi mag twech kendo ok ginichand chiemo.
15 because I am Yahweh, your God, the one who stirs up the sea and causes the waves to roar; I am the Commander of the armies of angels!
Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi mamiyo Nam gingore mi apaka wuo, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego e nyinge.
16 I have given you my message [MTY] to proclaim, and I have protected you with my hand [MTY]. I stretched out the sky and laid the foundation of the earth. And I am the one who says to you Israeli people, ‘You are my people!’”
Aseketo wechena e dhogi kendo aumi gi tipo mar lweta, an ema ne ayaro polo maketo kare, mi aketo mise mar piny kendo awachone jo-Sayun ni, ‘Un e joga.’”
17 [You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, wake up [DOU]! You have experienced Yahweh severely punishing [MTY] you. Yahweh has caused you to suffer much, all that he wanted you to suffer, like [MET] someone who causes another person to suffer by forcing him to drink every drop of [MTY] a cupful of bitter liquid.
Aa malo, Aa malo! Chiew, yaye Jerusalem, in misemetho e kikombe mar mirima mager, moa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye, kendo isemadho kikombe mamero ji milungʼo nyaka duro.
18 [Now] you do not have any children who are alive [DOU] and able to take your hand and guide you.
Kuom yawuowi duto mane onywolo onge moro amora mane nyalo taye kata mane nyalo telone komako lwete.
19 You have experienced several disasters: Your country has become desolate/deserted; [your cities have been] destroyed; [many people have] died from hunger; [many people have been] killed by your enemies’ swords. Now, there is no one [RHQ] left to console/comfort you and sympathize with you.
Masiche moluwore osemaki ma en kethruok kod tieki; kech kod ligangla, en ngʼa madihoyi kata duogo chunyi.
20 Your children have fainted and lie in the streets; they are [as helpless as] [SIM] an antelope [that has been caught] in a net. What has happened to them is because Yahweh has been very angry with them; he has rebuked them severely.
Yawuoti osepodho, giriere piny e yore mana ka mwanda mogengʼne ei obadho. Giyudo kum mager moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo chwat mar Nyasache.
21 So now, you people who have suffered much, [you act as though] you are drunk, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine.
Kuom mano winj ma, in miseyudo masira midoko ngʼama omer to ok gi kongʼo.
22 Yahweh, your Lord and your God, the one who argues/pleads your case, says this: “Note this: [It is as though] [MET] I have taken that cup of bitter liquid from your hands; I will not be angry with you and cause you to suffer any more.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, ma en Nyasachi machwako joge e bura wacho, Ne, asegolo oko e lweti kikombe mane miyo ithembo, bende ok inichak imethi e kikombe mar mirimba kendo.
23 Instead, I will cause those who have tormented you to suffer; [I will severely punish] those who said to you, ‘Prostrate yourselves in order that we may walk on you; [lie down on your stomachs] in order that your backs will be like [SIM] streets that we can walk on.’”
Anaket kikombe e lwet joma sandou mane wacho ni, “Nind piny mondo wawuoth kuomi. Kendo niloko die ngʼeyi ka yo miwuothoe.”
