Isaiah 40
1 “Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God.
Houru chuny joga, hogiuru, Nyasachu wacho kamano.
2 “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem; and proclaim to her that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received double from Yahweh's hand for all her sins.”
Wuouru gi muolo ne Jerusalem, kendo uwachne, ni ndalone mag chandruok oserumo, bende ni richone osewene, kendo oseyudo kum nyadiriyo koa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye nikech richone duto.
3 A voice cries out, “In the wilderness prepare the way of Yahweh; make straight in the Arabah a highway for our God.”
Ngʼat moro kok niya: “Losuru yo ne Jehova Nyasaye, losneuru Nyasachwa yo moriere tir, e piny motimo ongoro e thim.
4 Every valley will be lifted up, and every mountain and hill will be leveled; and the rugged land will be made level, and the rough places a plain;
Holo ka holo nobugi mapongʼ, gode madongo gi matindo duto nopie; yore motimo gogni nobed maler, kendo kuonde motimo gode nobed pewe.
5 and the glory of Yahweh will be revealed, and all people will see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
Eka duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyre kendo ji duto biro nene. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osewacho kamano.”
6 A voice says, “Cry.” Another answers, “What should I cry?” “All flesh is grass, and all their covenant faithfulness is like the flower of the field.
Dwol moro wacho niya, “Tingʼ dwondi iywagi.” To ne apenjo niya, “Ere gima aywago?” “Dhano duto chalo gi lum, kendo bergi duto chalo mana gi maua manie pap.
7 The grass withers and the flower wilts when the breath of Yahweh blows on it; surely humanity is grass.
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny ka much Jehova Nyasaye okudhogi. Chutho dhano chalo mana gi lum.
8 The grass withers, the flower wilts, but the word of our God will stand forever.”
Lum ner kendo maua tuo mi lwar piny, to wach Nyasachwa osiko manyaka chiengʼ.”
9 Go up on a high mountain, Zion, bearer of good news. Shout out loud, Jerusalem. You who bring good news, raise your voice, do not be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, “Here is your God!”
In mikelo wach maber ne Sayun, dhi ewi got malo. In mikelo wach maber ne Jerusalem, tingʼ dwondi malo ka ikok matek, tingʼ dwondi malo, kik ibed maluor; wach ne mier mag Juda niya, “Eri Nyasachu nika!”
10 Look, the Lord Yahweh comes as a victorious warrior, and his strong arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and those he has rescued go before him.
Neuru, Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto biro gi teko, kendo loch ni e lwete. Neuru, obiro gi pok mare, kendo pokne luwo bangʼe.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather in his arm the lambs, and carry them close to his heart, and will gently lead the ewes nursing their young.
Orito rombene mana kaka jakwath: Ochoko nyirombene e bade, kendo oriwogi e kore kotelo maber ni rombe man-gi nyithindo.
12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, measured the sky with the span of his hand, held the dust of the earth in a basket, weighed the mountains in scales, or the hills in a balance?
En ngʼa mosepimo pi e chuny lwete kata mana pimo lach mar polo gi lwete? En ngʼa ma osechoko buru manie piny e atonga, kata pimo gode madongo gi matindo e rapim?
13 Who has comprehended the mind of Yahweh, or instructed him as his counselor?
En ngʼa mosefwenyo pach Jehova Nyasaye, koso en ngʼa mosebedo kaka jangʼadne rieko?
14 From whom did he ever receive instruction? Who taught him the correct way to do things, and taught him knowledge, or showed to him the way of understanding?
En ngʼa mane Jehova Nyasaye openjo mondo opuonje, koso en ngʼa mane onyise yo makare? En ngʼa ma nopuonje rieko koso en ngʼa mane onyise yor ngʼeyo?
15 Look, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded like the dust on the scales; see, he weighs the isles as a speck.
Adier ogendini chalo mana ka pi matin modongʼ e dapi; ee, gichalo mana ka buru momoko e ratil, opimo chula mag nembe e ratil mana ka buru mayom.
16 Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor its wild animals sufficient for a burnt offering.
Yiende mag Lebanon ok oromo moko mach mar kendo mar misango, kata le man kuno nok ma ok oromo timogo misango miwangʼo pep.
17 All the nations are insufficient before him; they are regarded by him as nothing.
Ogendini duto ok gimoro e nyime, okwanogi ka gik manono, maonge tich.
18 To whom then will you compare God? To what idol will you liken him?
En ngʼa ma dipim gi Nyasaye? Koso en kido mane madiwach ni chal kode?
19 An idol! A craftsman casts it: The goldsmith overlays it with gold and forges silver chains for it.
To nyiseche manono, jatheth nyalo loso kendo jatheth nyalo bawe gi dhahabu, mi olosne thiwni mar fedha.
20 To make an offering one chooses a wood that will not rot; he seeks a skillful artisan to make an idol that will not fall over.
Ngʼat modhier ma ok nyal golo chiwo machalo kama, yiero yien ma ok tow. Omanyo japecho molony mondo olosne kido ma ok nyal podho piny.
21 Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Donge ungʼeyo Koso donge usewinjo? Pok owachnu nyaka aa chakruok? Koso pok wachno odonjonu nyaka ne chwe pinyni.
22 He is the one who sits above the horizon of the earth; and the inhabitants are like grasshoppers before him. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out as a tent to live in.
Nyasaye obet e kom duongʼne kuma bor moyombo piny kendo joma ni e polo ngʼeny machalo kama ongogo ochokoree. Oyaro polo mana ka tipo maduongʼ kendo oyarogi mana ka hema midakie.
23 He reduces rulers to nothing and makes the rulers of the earth insignificant.
Odwoko ruodhi piny kendo omiyo jotelo duto mag pinyni bet kanono.
24 They are barely planted, barely sown, their stem has barely taken root in the earth, when he blows upon them and they wither, and the wind carries them away like straw.
Ka okudhogi gi muche to giner mi kalausi dhi kodgi ka mihudhwe, nikech gichalo gi kodhi mokom machiegni, ma tiendgi pok ochwowo lowo.
25 “To whom then will you compare me, whom do I resemble?” says the Holy One.
Nyasaye Maler penjo niya, “En ngʼa madupima-go? Koso en ngʼa madirom koda?”
26 Look up at the sky! Who has created all these stars? He leads out their formations and calls them all by name. By the greatness of his might and by the strength of his power, not one is missing.
Tingʼuru wengeu malo kendo ungʼi polo: En ngʼa manochweyo gigi duto? Donge en ema nomiyo sulwe manie kor polo obetie kokelogi achiel kachiel, koluongo moro ka moro gi nyinge. Onge moro kuomgi molal nikech tekone duongʼ kod nyalone.
27 Why do you say, Jacob, and declare, Israel, “My way is hidden from Yahweh, and my God is not concerned about my vindication”?
Yaye joka Jakobo angʼo momiyo uwuoyo, angʼo momiyo ungʼur, yaye jo-Israel, kuwacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dew yorena; kendo ni yorena ok okwan ka gimoro gi Nyasacha.”
28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his understanding.
Donge ungʼeyo? Koso pok uwinjo? Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye manyaka chiengʼ kendo Jachwech mar piny duto. Ok nobed mool bende ok nonyosre, kendo pache onge ngʼama nyalo ngʼeyo.
29 He gives strength to the tired; and to the weak he gives renewed energy.
Omiyo joma ool teko kendo omedo joma tekregi orumo bedo motegno.
30 Even young people become tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall:
Jomatindo nyalo bedo mool mi nyosre, kendo yawuowi nyalo chwanyore mi podhi,
31 but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength; they will soar with wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary; they will walk and not faint.
to joma oketo genogi kuom Jehova Nyasaye tekregi nodwogi. Gibiro huyo mana ka ongo mafuyo gi bwombe; gibiro ringo to ok gibi bedo mool, bende gibiro wuotho to tekregi ok norum.
