Isaiah 66
1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Polo e koma mar duongʼ, to piny e raten tienda. Koro ere kama dugerna e ot? To kar yweyo mara nobed kanye?
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
Donge lweta ema osechweyo gigi duto momiyo gibedo mangima?” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho. “Ma e ngʼat ma ayiego ma en ngʼat ma hore kendo man-gi chuny motur, kendo ngʼama oluoro wachna.
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
To ngʼato angʼata moyangʼo rwath katimogo misango chal gi ngʼat monego dhano, kendo ngʼato angʼata motimo misango mar rombo, chal gi ngʼama oturo ngʼut guok, kendo ngʼato angʼata mochiwo misango mar cham chal gi ngʼat mochiwo remb anguro, bende ngʼato angʼata mowangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar mar rapar, chal gi ngʼama lamo nyiseche manono. Giseyiero yoregi giwegi kendo chunygi mor gi timbegi mag rondogo;
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
omiyo an bende abiro yieronegi masiche mondo omakgi kendo abiro kelo kuomgi gik ma giluoro. Nimar kane aluongo, to onge ngʼat mane odwoka, kendo kane awuoyo, to onge ngʼat mane owinjo. Negitimo timbe mamono e nyima, kendo ne giyiero mana gik mamorogi.”
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye, un jogo matetni kuwinjo dwonde: “Oweteni mochai kendo ok kwani ka gimoro nikech ihero nyinga osewacho niya, ‘Mad Jehova Nyasaye mi duongʼ, mondo omi wane morni!’ Kata kamano gin giwegi ema ginine wichkuot.
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
Winjuru kaka nduru wuok e dala maduongʼ, kendo winjuru kaka kokono wuok e hekalu! Ma en dwond Jehova Nyasaye kochulogo kuor ne wasike moromo gi timbegi.
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
“Kapok muoch ochako kaye, to osenywolo nyathi; kapok owinjo rem to osenywolo wuowi.
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
En ngʼa mosewinjo wach machal kamano? En ngʼa moseneno gik machalo kamano? Bende piny dichwe godiechiengʼ achiel koso ogendini dichok dichiel? To mana e seche mane muoch ochako kayo Sayun ema nonywoloe nyithinde.
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
Bende dawe sa ma dhako nywolie chopi mak amiye teko mar nywol?” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Bende dadin ich kochopo sa mar chiwo nyathi?” Nyasachi owacho.
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
“Moruru gi Jerusalem kendo bed mamor kode, un duto muhere; beduru gi ilo maduongʼ, un duto man-gi kuyo nikech en.
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
Nimar ibiro piru maber kudhodho thunde; kendo unumethi gi ilo mi ubed gi mor mogundho.”
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Abiro miyo kwe ma en-go mol ka aora kendo mwandu mag pinje namiye mamol ka oula; unubed mamor ka odhodhou kotingʼou e bade kendo kopirou e chonge.
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
Mana kaka miyo hoyo nyathine, e kaka abiro hoyou; kendo noho chunyu e Jerusalem.”
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
Ka uneno ma, to chunyu nobed gi mor, kendo dendu nobed maber mana ka lum matwi ndalo chwiri; lwet Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre ne jotichne, to mirimbe to none kuom wasike.
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
To nee, Jehova Nyasaye biro gi mach, kendo gechene mag lweny chalo ka kalausi; obiro kelo mirimbe makakni, kendo chwat mare nopilre ka mach.
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
Nimar mach kod ligangla ema Jehova Nyasaye noyalgo ji duto, kendo joma Jehova Nyasaye nonegi nobed mangʼeny.
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Joma pwodhore kendo bedo maler mondo odhiye puothe, kamoro ka moro luwo wadgi kendo chamo ring anguro, oyieyo kod gik moko duto makwero norum duto dichiel.
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
“An Jehova Nyasaye angʼeyo timbeni gi paroni achiegni biro mondo achok ogendini duto kod dhoudi mawacho dhok mopogore opogore kendo ginibi mi ginine duongʼ mara maler.
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
“Anatim ranyisi e kindgi kendo anaor jomoko manok ma notony mane pok owinjo humba kata mane pok oneno duongʼ mara maler ma gin: Tarshish, Libya, Lud (mongʼere gi nying mar jolweny mongʼeyo kedo gi asere), jo-Tubal kod jo-Yunani kaachiel gi joma odak e dho nembe man kuonde maboyo. Gibiro nyiso duongʼna e kind ogendini.
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
Kendo ginikel oweteni duto koa e ogendini duto, e goda maler ma en Jerusalem kaka gir misango ne Jehova Nyasaye ka moko oidho farese, geche lweny, pundane kod ngamia,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. “Gibiro kelogi mana kaka jo-Israel kelo misengini e od Jehova Nyasaye, ka gitingʼogi e tewni maler.
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Kendo moko kuomgi bende nayier mondo obed jodolo kod jo-Lawi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Mana kaka polo manyien machweyo gi piny manyien nosiki e nyima, e kaka nyingi kod nying nyikwayi nosiki.
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Mana kaka dwe por kendo podho kendo machielo por, bende mana kaka chiengʼ Sabato nyaka chiengʼ Sabato machielo e kaka ji duto biro bedo kendo kulore e nyima,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
“Giniwuogi mi gine ringre joma otho mosepiem koda, kudni machamogi ok notho kata mach mawangʼogi ok notho kendo ginibed gik ma piny ngima ojokgo.”
