Isaiah 1
1 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Fweny ma wuoyo ewi Juda kod Jerusalem mane Isaya wuod Amoz oneno e ndalo loch Uzia gi Jotham gi Ahaz kod Hezekia mane gin ruodhi Juda.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.
Winji yaye polo! Chik iti, yaye piny! Nikech Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo: asepidho nyithindo mobedo madongo, to gisepiem koda.
3 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
Rwath ongʼeyo wuon, kendo kanyna ongʼeyo kund wuon, to jo-Israel ok ongʼeya adier; joga awuon onge gi winjo.
4 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
Yaye oganda ma joricho, koth ji mogangore gi timbe mamono, kanyakla mar joma timbegi richo, nyithindo mochiwore ne timbe acheje! Giseweyo Jehova Nyasaye; gisejaro Jal Maler mar Israel giselokone ngʼegi.
5 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostasy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
Angʼo momiyo pod usiko kudwaro kum? Angʼo momiyo usiko kungʼanyo? Wiyeu opongʼ gi adhonde kendo chunyu opongʼ gi lit.
6 From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
Kochakore e tiendu nyaka ewiu onge kama ngima, kendo upongʼ gi adhonde, kuonde moriemo, kod kuonde moridhore mapok oketie yath, mapok otwe kata wiroe yath.
7 Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!
Pinyu odongʼ gunda, miechu madongo osewangʼ gi mach; puotheu jopinje mamoko osemau mana kuneno gi wangʼu, ma gidongʼ gundni mana ka joma wasigu oseriembo.
8 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.
Nyar Sayun odongʼ ka kiru manie e puoth mzabibu, kata ka abila e puoth budho kendo ka dala maduongʼ ma wasigu omonjo.
9 Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
Ka dine Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ok oweyo jomoko kuomwa otony, to dine wachalo gi jo-Sodom, adier dikoro ne wachalo kaka jo-Gomora.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,
Winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un jotelo mag Sodom, chikuru itu ne chike mag Nyasachwa un oganda man Gomora!
11 'Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Misengini mangʼeny mutimogi amon-go.” Aol gi misengini miwangʼo pep mag imbe kaachiel gi boche mag jamni machwe. Ok amor gi remb rwedhi gi mag imbe kod mag nywogi.
12 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?
Ere ngʼama osekwayou gigo ka ubiro e nyima, donge mano en dwanyo hekalu mara maler.
13 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!
Kik ukel misengini maonge tich e nyima! Tik ubanino dungʼna marach, kendo sewni mutimo ka dwe opor, gi mag Sabato kata e chokruoge duto ok amorgo.
14 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
Sewni mutimo ka dwe opor kod sewni moyier chido chunya, giselokore tingʼ mapek matura bende aol gi tingʼogi.
15 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
Ka utingʼo bedeu malo kulemo to anapandnu wangʼa, kendo kata ulem machal nade to ok anadwoku. Lweteu osechwero remo mangʼeny!
16 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
Lwokreuru mondo ubed maler. Goluru timbeu mamono e wangʼa!
17 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
Weuru timbeu maricho; to upuonjru timbe mabeyo! Dwaruru tim makare, kendo jiwuru joma ithiro. Bende nyaka une ni nyithind kiye kod mon ma chwogi otho oyal buchegi e yo makare kare.
18 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!
Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Biuru machiegni mondo wapor wach, kata obedo ni richou kwar manade to ibiro luoki magibed matar ka pe, bende kata bed ni gikwar malich to nobed marachar ka pamba.
19 If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,
Ka uyie kuoma muboloru kendo umako chikena duto, to unucham gik mabeyo mag piny;
20 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
to ka udagi kendo ungʼanyo to ligangla notieku.” Nimar an Jehova Nyasaye ema asewacho.
21 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.
Neye kaka dala maduongʼ ma yande oluoro Nyasaye koro oselokore ochot! Kinde moko ne en kama adiera odakie, tim makare ne yudore, to tinde jonek ema opongʼe.
22 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
Fedha magu oselokore chuoth nyinyo bende divai magu mogen oseruw gi pi.
23 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.
Jotendu ongʼanyo kendo gin e kanyakla mar jokwoge, giduto gihero asoya, kendo gihero gik makonyogi giwegi. Ok giyal buche nyithind kiye kare, bende weche mamon ma chwogi otho okelo e nyimgi ok gidew.
24 Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,
Kuom mano, Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, kendo Jehova Nyasaye mar kanyakla mar Israel wacho kama: “Anayud kwe kuom jok ma jara kendo nachul kuor ne wasika.
25 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,
Anachwadu gi masiche kendo anapwodhu maler, mi agol timbeu mamono duto.
26 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, 'A city of righteousness — a faithful city.'
Bangʼe anaduognu jongʼad bura makare kaka ne timore e ndalo machon, kendo jongʼad rieko mane nitie aa chakruok. Eka noluongu ni Dala Maduongʼ mar Tim Makare, Dala Maduongʼ Madiera Nitie.”
27 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
Sayun nopwodh gi bura makare bende joma oyie modak e iye norit kod adiera.
28 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.
To joma ongʼanyo kod joricho duto gi joma oweyo Jehova Nyasaye notiek chuth.
29 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.
Wiu nokuodi gi tiend yiende mag ober ma umorgo kutimoe misengini, kendo unubed gi kuyo kuom puothe museyiero mondo ulemie.
30 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.
Ubiro chalo kaka yiend ober ma ite ner kendo kaka puodho ma ok yud pi.
31 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
Ngʼat maratego e dieru nodok manyap, kendo tekone nowuog mana ka pilni, kendo gigo duto nowangʼ pep maonge ngʼama nyalo nego majno.
