Isaiah 42
1 Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one — My soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to nations he bringeth forth.
“Ma e jatichna masemiyo teko, en e ngʼat ma aseyiero, kendo ma chunya morgo, abiro keto Roho mara Maler kendo obiro kelo adiera ne ogendini.
2 He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard, in the street.
Ok obi goyo koko kata nduru, dwonde bende ok nowinji e wangʼ yore.
3 A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment.
Kata obedo ni onenore kaka odundu mayom yom ok notur kendo kata obedo ni oliel ka taya ma mirimiri to ok notho. Enongʼad bura gadiera;
4 He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope.
ok nochwanyre kata chunye bende ok nonyosre, nyaka okel adiera e piny duto. Pinje duto manie chula mag dier nam biro keto genogi kuom chikene.”
5 Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ma Jachwech polo malach, gi piny kod gik moko duto manie iye. En ema ochiwo muya ne dhano kod ngima ne joma wuotho e piny. Owacho kama:
6 I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
“An Jehova Nyasaye, aseluongi mondo anyisi adierana; abiro mako lweti. Abiro riti kendo ibiro keti gir singruok e kinda gi ji kendo abiro keti ler mar ogendini duto,
7 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in darkness.
mondo iyaw wenge muofni, kendo igol joma oketi e od twech, kendo igony joma otwe mobetie mudho.
8 I [am] Jehovah, this [is] My name, And Mine honour to another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images.
“Nyinga ma ongʼeyago en; Jehova Nyasaye! Ok anawe duongʼ mara ne nyasaye moro, bende pak ma ipakago ok nopakgo nyiseche mopa.
9 The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
Koro ne, gik machon osetimore bende anyisou gik manyien mabiro timore, to kapok gitimore to ahulonugi.”
10 Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness, Isles, and their inhabitants.
Werneuru Jehova Nyasaye wer manyien, kupako nyinge e piny duto, un joma kwangʼ e nam kaachiel gi gik manie yie gi pinje mag chula mar nam kod ji duto modak.
11 The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela, From the top of mountains they cry.
Weuru kuonde motimo ongoro gi miechgi mondo ogo koko; kendo weuru joma odak e gwenge mag Kedar obed mamor. Weuru joma odak Sela ower gi mor, ka gikok ewi got malo.
12 They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the isles they declare.
Weuru gimi nying Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ kendo giland pakne e pinje manie chula.
13 Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His enemies He showeth Himself mighty.
Jehova Nyasaye biro wuok oko ka thuon maratego, enobed gi mirima mager mana ka jalweny; kendo enokogi ka ogiyo sigich lweny, mi olo wasike.
14 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow up together.
Nimar kuom kinde mangʼeny aselingʼ, asehora kendo aseterora mos. To koro sani, abiro chalo mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo, maywak ka gamo yweyo matek.
15 I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry up.
Abiro tieko gode madongo gi gode matindo kendo anami gik motwi kuome two; bende anami aore lokre pinje manie chula kendo nami yewni dwon.
16 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.
Anatel ne muofni mondo owuothi e yore mane ok gingʼeyo, kuonde mapok giwuothoe ema anatagie; kendo anami mudho olokrenegi ler, kendo analos kuonde bugni bed mopie. Magi e gik ma abiro timo; kendo ok najwangʼ-gi.
17 Removed backward — utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, 'Ye [are] our gods.'
To jogo ma oketo genogi kuom nyiseche mopa, mawacho ni kido mopa niya, Un e nyisechewa, jogo nokwed magiyud wichkuot.
18 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see.
“Winjuru un joma itgi odino un muofni ngʼiuru mondo une!
19 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the servant of Jehovah?
En ngʼa ma muofu makmana jotichna, kendo ma ite odino ka jaote maoro? Koso en ngʼa ma muofu maloyo ngʼat mochiworena, kata ma muofu maloyo jatich Jehova Nyasaye?
20 Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears, and he heareth not.
Iseneno gik mangʼeny, to ok isedewo; iti to oyawore, to gima iwinjo ema onge.”
21 Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifieth law, and maketh honourable.
Jehova Nyasaye ne mor mondo chikne obed gi teko kod duongʼ, mondo adiera mare olandre.
22 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes — all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, 'Restore.'
To jogi gin joma oyaki kendo omaa, giduto gisenyumore ma gimoko e bugni, kendo opandgi e ute mag twech. Gisebedo gik moyaki maonge ngʼama nyalo resogi; bende gichalo gik moyaki maonge ngʼama nyalo wacho niya, “Dwokgi.”
23 Who among you giveth ear [to] this? Attendeth, and heareth afterwards.
En ngʼa kuomu manyalo winjo wachni kata chiko ite malongʼo e ndalo mabiro?
24 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not Jehovah — He against whom we sinned? Yea, they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they hearkened to His law.
En ngʼa mane ochiwo Jakobo mondo obed gima oyaki, kendo jo-Israel e lwet joyeko? Donge en Jehova Nyasaye ma wasetimo richo e nyime? Nimar ne ok ginyal luwo yorene; bende ne ok girito chikene.
25 And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to heart!
Omiyo noolo mirimbe mager mar lweny kuomgi. Ne olworogi gi mach mawengʼo to ne ok gidewe; bende majno ne owangʼogi to ne ok gidewe.
