Isaiah 49
1 Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of my mother He hath made mention of my name.
Winjauru un joma odak e dho nembe, winjuru un pinje man mabor: Kane pok onywola Jehova Nyasaye ne oluonga koa e nywolna ne oluongo nyinga.
2 And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In His quiver He hath hid me.
Ne omiyo lewa obedo ka ligangla mabith, e bwo tipo mar lwete ne opanda; ne omiyo abedo ka asere moywe maler kendo ne opanda e olalone.
3 And He saith to me, 'My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.'
Ne owachona niya, “In e jatichna, Israel, kuomi ema abiro nyisoe duongʼ mara.”
4 And I said, 'For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.
To ne awacho ni, “Asetiyo matek kayiem nono; aseketho tekra kayiem nono. Kata kamano pokna ni e lwet Jehova Nyasaye kendo michna Nyasacha ema nigo.”
5 And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God hath been my strength.)
To koro Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama; jal mane ochweya e ich mondo abed jatichne, mondo adwok joka Jakobo kuome kendo achok jo-Israel ire, nimar aseyudo duongʼ e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Nyasacha ema osebedo tekrena.
6 And He saith, 'It hath been a light thing That thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the earth.'
Owacho ni: “En gima tin ahinya mondo ibed jatichna kata mondo iduog dhood joka Jakobo, kendo mondo iduog jo-Israel manok mane odongʼ. Abiro miyo ibed ler mar ogendini, mondo iter wach warruokna e tunge piny duto.”
7 Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant of rulers: 'Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooseth thee.'
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Jares ji kendo Ngʼat Maler mar Israel wacho, ne ngʼat mane ogendini ochayo kendo ma en misumba jotend piny: “Ruodhi nochungʼni malo koneni, kendo jotelo koneno ma to nopodhni auma, nikech Jehova Nyasaye, jal ma ja-adiera ma en Ngʼat Maler mar Israel ema oseyieri.”
8 Thus said Jehovah: 'In a time of good pleasure I answered thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee, and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, “E ndalona mag kech abiro dwoko kwayoni, chutho ne akonyi e odiechiengʼ mar warruok; abiro riti mi ami ibed ngʼama kelo winjruok e kinda gi ji mondo ires piny, mi ipog ji kuonde ma yande odongʼ gunda,
9 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. On the ways they feed, And in all high places is their pasture.
kendo iwachne joma ni e twech ni, ‘Wuoguru oko,’ to joma ni e mudho ni, ‘Beduru thuolo!’ “Gibiro chiemo e bath yo kendo giniyud kuonde kwath e gode matindo.
10 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by fountains of waters doth tend them.
Kech ok nokagi kata riyo ok nologi, bende liet mar kama otimo ongoro, kata chiengʼ marieny makech ok nomigi olo. Jal ma chunye opongʼ gi kech, ema notelnigi mi tergi kuonde sokni mag pi.
11 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
Abiro loko godena duto yore kendo anabug yorena madongo duto maber.
12 Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.
To ne, ginibi ka gia mabor; moko kawuok yo nyandwat, moko kawuok yo yimbo, moko to nowuogi e gwenge mag Aswan.”
13 Sing, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people, And His afflicted ones He doth pity.
Go koko nikech mor, yaye polo, bed gi ilo, yaye piny, weruru matek, un gode! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye kweyo chuny joge kendo obiro bedo gi kech ne joge machandore.
14 And Zion saith, 'Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord hath forgotten me.'
To Sayun nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osejwangʼa; kendo Ruoth Nyasaye wiye osewil koda.”
15 Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one — the son of her womb? Yea, these forget — but I — I forget not thee.
“To bende dhako wiye diwil gi nyathi modhodho mi ok obedo gi kech e kothe mane onywolo. Kata ka dipo ni wiye nyalo wil, An to wiya ok nowil kodi.
16 Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls [are] before Me continually.
Ne, asendiko nyingi ei lweta kendo isiko ka ineno anena e wangʼa.
17 Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee, and laying thee waste, go out from thee.
Yawuoti noreti kaduogo iri kendo jogo manoyako gigi noringi kaduogo iri.
18 Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on, And thou bindest them on like a bride.
Tingʼ wangʼi malo kendo ingʼi koni gi koni: mondo ine kaka yawuoti chokore kaduogo iri.” Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nyinga awuon ni nyithindi nochal gi thiwni madhako rwako kata ka law maber ma miaha rwako.
19 Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants, And far off have been those consuming thee.
“Kata obedo ni osetieki midongʼ gunda kendo pinyi odongʼ nono, to koro ibiro yudo ni pinyi odoko matin ma ok oromo jogi dakie, kendo jogo mane otieki biro bedo kodi mabor.
20 Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears: 'The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me — and I dwell.'
Nyithindo mane inywolo ka in e chandruok nowachni kiwinjo ni, Kaeni tin-nwa; dwarnwa kama lach mondo wadagie.
21 And thou hast said in thy heart: 'Who hath begotten for me — these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned aside, And these — who hath nourished? Lo, I — I was left by myself, these — whence [are] they?
Eka inipenjri e chunyi ni, ‘En ngʼa mane onywolona jogi? Ne an gi kuyo kendo ne an migumba, ne otera e twech kendo ojwangʼa. En ngʼa manopidhogi? Ne adongʼ kenda, to jogi to oa kure?’”
22 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I lift up unto nations My hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder are carried.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Winji, abiro luongo Ogendini, abiro chungo bandecha ne oganda kaka ranyisi, gibiro kelo yawuoti ka gitingʼogi e badgi kendo ginikel nyigi ka gitingʼogi e gokgi.
23 And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth — they bow down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.
Ruodhi ema nobed kaka wuoneu kendo mond ruodhi ema nobed kaka mineu ma ritou. Ginikulre auma e nyimu ka wengegi ngʼiyo piny; kendo gininangʼ buru manie tiendu. Eka unungʼe ni An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo joma oketo genogi kuoma ok noyud wichkuot.”
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?
Bende dima jolweny maroteke gik ma giseyako, koso dires joma otwe e lwet ngʼama kwiny?
25 For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy striver I strive, and thy sons I save.
To ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wachoni: “Ee, joma otwe inyalo gol e lwet jolweny maroteke, kendo ngʼama omaki inyalo gamo e lwet joma kwiny; anaked gi jogo makedo kodu, kendo anares nyithindu.
26 And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh, And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!'
Abiro miyo joma sandou nocham ringregi giwegi mi anami gimer gi rembgi ka joma omadho kongʼo. Eka koth dhano duto manie piny nongʼe ni an Jehova Nyasaye e Jawarni, Jaresni kendo Nyasaye Maratego mar Jakobo.”
