Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen:
Ma e wach mane Nyasaye onyiso Isaya wuod Amoz e fweny kuom Babulon:
2 'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of nobles.
Chunguru bandera ewi got motwo kendo gouru koko, gwelgiuru mondo gidonj e dhorangeye joma ogen.
3 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.'
Asegolo chik ne joga maler; asechiko joga ma jolweny kakecho mondo gitim gima adwaro, jogo mamor kaloyo.
4 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
Winjuru kaka koko wuok e gode; machalo mar oganda mangʼongo, en koko maduongʼ magore e kind pinjeruodhi, machalo mana gi ogendini mangʼeny mochokore kaachiel! Jehova Nyasaye Maratego choko oganda mangʼongo mar lweny.
5 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
Gibiro ka gia e pinje man mabor, manie tungʼ piny mogik, Jehova Nyasaye kod gige mager mag lweny, biro mondo otiekgo pinyno duto.
6 Howl ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.
Denguru nimar odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye chiegni; odiechiengno biro ka gir kethruok maduongʼ mawuok e lwet Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
7 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth melt.
Nikech wachni, lwet ngʼato ka ngʼato ne jony, kendo kihondko nogo chuny ji duto ma aa.
8 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, The appearance of flames — their faces!
Kibaji nogogi malich, rem gi kuyo bende noneg-gi; ginibed gi rem mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nongʼi wadgi malich ka midhiero omako.
9 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth from it.
Neuru, odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye biro, en odiechiengʼ malich man-gi mirima kod kum mager, mabiro weyo piny gunda, kendo joricho manie iye.
10 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come forth.
Sulwe mag polo kod lergi ok nonenre. Wangʼ chiengʼ nolokre mudho, kawuok kendo dwe bende ok norieny.
11 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low.
Abiro kumo piny kuom timbene mamono, joricho kuom richogi. Abiro tieko wich teko ka mar josunga kendo abiro thiro sunga mar joma wangʼ-gi tek.
12 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than pure gold of Ophir.
Abiro miyo ji doko manok moloyo dhahabu mopwodhi, manok mana ka dhahabu ma aa Ofir.
13 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of his anger.
Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nomi polo tetni, kendo piny noyiengni milengʼre; e chiengʼ onogo mar mirimbe mager.
14 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people — they turn, And each unto his land — they flee.
Mana kaka mwanda ma jodwar lawo, kod rombe maonge jakwath, e kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi biro dok ir joodgi owuon kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato nodog e pinygi.
15 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth by sword.
Ngʼato angʼata manomaki nochwo matho, jogo duto momaki noneg gi ligangla.
16 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
Nyithindgi madhoth nochwad piny e wangʼ-gi ka gineno, utegi noyaki, kendo mondegi nomak githuon.
17 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold — they delight not in it.
Neuru, anakel jo-Media, ma ok dew fedha kendo ok gomb dhahabu mondo omonjgi.
18 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
Gibiro chielo yawuowi matindo gi asere; ok giningʼwon-ne nyithindo madhoth, bende ok ginikech nyithindo matindo.
19 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
Babulon ma en piny maber moloyo pinjeruodhi duto, kendo ma jo-Babulon sungerego, Nyasaye nokethi mana kaka noketho Sodom gi Gomora.
20 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.
Onge ngʼat manochak obedi e iye kata dak kuno e tienge duto mabiro; onge ja-Arabu moro manodag kuno; bende onge jakwath mano kwa jambe kanyo.
21 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.
To mana le mag thim ema nodag kanyo, kibwe nopongʼ utegi; tula bende nodag kanyo kendo nywok nolengʼre kanyo.
22 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time, And her days are not drawn out!
Ondiegi noywagre kuondegi mane gigeno, kibwe to noywe e ute mabeyo mag ruoth. Ndalo mag Babulon osekayo machiegni ma ok notony.
