Isaiah 9
1 As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Kata kamano, joma ne nigi chandruok ok nochak obed gikuyo kendo. E ndalo mosekadho Nyasaye nomiyo piny Zebulun gi piny Naftali odoko pinje michayo, to e ndalo mabiro Jehova Nyasaye notingʼ malo Galili mar ogendini man yo nam modak e tiend aora Jordan:
2 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.
Joma wuotho e mudho oseneno ler maduongʼ; jogo modak e piny man-gi mudho mandiwa, ler oserienynegi.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.
Isemiyo piny oyarore kendo isemedo morgi, mi gibedo gi ilo e nyimi mana kaka oganda bedo gi mor e ndalo keyo, kendo mana kaka ji bedo gi mor ka gipogo gik ma oyaki.
4 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.
Mana kaka e kinde mane olo jo-Midian e lweny, iseturo jok mane turogi, kaachiel gi lodi mane gitingʼo e gokni, ma gin ludh ngʼama sandogi.
5 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning — fuel of fire.
Wuoch duto mag lweny kaachiel gi lewni motimo remo mag jolweny, ibiro ter e mach, ginibedi ramoki mar mach.
6 For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.
Nimar osenywolnwa nyathi, adier osemiwa wuowi, kendo loch nobedi e lwete. Noluong nyinge ni Jabura Mahono, Nyasaye Maratego, Wuoro Manyaka Chiengʼ kendo Ruodh Kwe.
7 To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
Lochne gi kwe mare nobed maonge giko. Enobed e kom loch mar Daudi kendo e pinyruodhe, bende enogure motegno ka orite gi adiera kod tim makare, chakre kawuono nyaka chiengʼ. Jehova Nyasaye Maratego notim ma kuom tekone owuon.
8 A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye oseoro wach ni okecho gi joka Jakobo, kendo wachno osechopo ne jo-Israel.
9 And the people have known — all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,
Ji duto biro winjo wachno jo-Efraim kod joma odak Samaria duto, ma wuoyo gi sunga kod wangʼ teko kawacho niya,
10 'Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.'
“Ute mag matafare osepodho, to wabiro gedo kendo kod kite mopa, bende kata obedo ni yiend ngʼowu osetongʼ to wabiro pidho yiend sida kargi.”
11 And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,
To Jehova Nyasaye biro miyo wasik Rezin teko mondo oked kodgi, adier obiro thuwogi kod wasigu.
12 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
Jo-Aram mane oa yo wuok chiengʼ kod jo-Filistia mane oa yo podho chiengʼ; osetieko jo-Israel pep. Kata ka magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
13 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.
Kata obedo ni osekumogi kamano to ji pok odwogo ire bende pok gimanyo wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
14 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed — the same day,
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye biro ngʼado joma ogen kod ji ajia mag Israel, othith kod odundu e odiechiengʼ achiel;
15 Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.
jodongo kod joma ogen e wich jo-Israel, to jonabi mapuonjo miriambo e iwe.
16 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.
Jotend ogandani osemiyo gilal kendo joma otelnegi bende oserwenyo.
17 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.
Kuom mano Ruoth Nyasaye ok nobed mamor gi jomatindo bende ok nokech nyithi kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho, nikech ji duto opongʼ gi richo kendo timo timbe mamono bende dhogi opongʼ gi weche mochido. To Kata ka magi duto osetimore to mirimbe ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
18 For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!
Adier timbe mamono chalo gi mach maliel; ma wangʼo pedo kod kuthe, kendo omiyo bungu modinore wangʼ mi dhuol iro maduongʼ mochomo malo.
19 In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,
Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye Maratego biro wangʼo piny, kendo ji ema nobed ramoki mar mach, kendo onge ngʼat mano ngʼwon-ne nyawadgi.
20 And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.
E bathe korachwich gibiro mecho to pod gidenyo adenya; to e bathe koracham gibiro chiemo to ok giniyiengʼ. Ngʼato ka ngʼato nocham mana ringre nyathine owuon.
21 Manasseh — Ephraim, and Ephraim — Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!
Manase biro chamo Efraim kendo Efraim nocham Manase; giduto ginibed wasik Juda. Kata ka magi duto osetimore, to mirimbe pod ok orumo kuomgi kendo pod odhi nyime mana gikumogi.
