Isaya 26
1 E ndalono wendni nower e piny Juda ni: Wan gi dala maduongʼ man-gi teko; Nyasaye kelo resruok e ohingane gi kuonde molwore.
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God has made salvation its walls and ramparts.
2 Yaw dhorangeye mondo oganda makare odonji, oganda morito yie.
Open the gates, that the righteous nation that keeps faith may enter in.
3 Inirit gi kwe ngʼatno ma parone oriere tir, nikech ogeno kuomi.
The mind that is stayed on you, you will keep him in perfect peace, for he trusts in you.
4 Gen kuom Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Jehova Nyasaye ma Lwanda nyaka chiengʼ.
Trust in Yahweh forever; for in Yah, Yahweh, is an everlasting rock.
5 Odwoko piny joma otingʼore malo, odwoko dala maduongʼ mar ngʼayi piny, mi otoye matindo tindo ma olokre buru.
For he will bring down those who live proudly; the fortified city he will lay low, he will lay low to the ground; he will level it to the dust.
6 Tiende joma ithiro kod mag joma odhier nyone piny.
It will be trampled down by the feet of the poor and the treading of the needy.
7 Yor joma kare opie, yaye in Jal makare, iloso yor joma kare bedo maber.
The path of the righteous is level, Righteous One; the path of the righteous you make straight.
8 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, wuotho e yore mag chikeni ema warito, nyingi kod duongʼ mari ema chunywa dwaro.
Yes, in the path of your judgments, Yahweh, we wait for you; your name and your reputation are our desire.
9 Chunya gombi gotieno kendo chunya dwari gokinyi. Ka buchi makare biro e piny, ogendini mag piny puonjore yo makare.
I have longed for you in the night; yes, my spirit within me seeks you earnestly. For when your judgments come on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn about righteousness.
10 Kata obedo ni ngʼwono itimone joricho, to ok gipuonjore tim makare; kata mana e piny joma kare gidhi nyime mana ka gitimo richo, ka ok gichiwo luor ne duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye.
Let favor be shown to the wicked one, but he will not learn righteousness. In the land of uprightness he acts wickedly and does not see the majesty of Yahweh.
11 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isetingʼo badi malo, to ok gine. We mondo gine geno ma in-go, kuom jogi mi giyud wichkuot, kendo mad mach mokan ne wasiki wangʼ-gi duto.
Yahweh, your hand is lifted up, but they do not notice. But they will see your zeal for the people and be put to shame, because fire of your adversaries will devour them.
12 Jehova Nyasaye, isemiyowa kwe; kendo gik moko duto ma wasetimo in ema isetimonwa.
Yahweh, you will bring about peace for us; for indeed, you have also accomplished all our works for us.
13 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, ruodhi mamoko ma ok in osetiyowa, makmana nyingi kende ema wamiyo luor.
Yahweh our God, other masters besides you have ruled over us; but we praise your name alone.
14 To koro jogo osetho kendo koro gionge; chunje moseago ok nochier. Ne ikumogi mi itiekogi maonge ngʼama parogi.
They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not arise. Indeed, you came in judgment and destroyed them, and made every memory of them to perish.
15 Isemedo ogandawa, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, isemedo ogandawa. Iseyudo duongʼ mana ne in iwuon; kendo isemedo tongʼ duto mar pinywa.
You have increased the nation, Yahweh, you have increased the nation; you are honored; you have extended all the borders of the land.
16 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, negimanyi e kinde mane ginie chandruok; kendo kane ikumogi ne gionge gi teko mar lemo.
Yahweh, in trouble have they looked to you; they whispered prayers when your discipline was on them.
17 Mana kaka dhako man-gi ich machiegni nywol muoch kayo kendo ywak kawinjo rem mano, bende e kaka wanie nyimi yaye Jehova Nyasaye.
As a pregnant woman nears the time for her to give birth, when she is in pain and cries out in her labor pains, so we have been before you, Lord.
18 Wasebedo gi ich, muoch osekayowa malit to ne wanywolo mana yamo. Ok wasekelo warruok e piny, bende pod ok wanywolo ji e piny.
We have been pregnant, we have been in labor, but it is as if we have only given birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the inhabitants of the world have not fallen.
19 To jogi mosenindo kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nobed mangima, kendo ringregi nochier. In misiko e buru, chiew kendo igo koko gi mor. Thoo ma in-go chalo thoo mar okinyi, piny biro golo joma otho oko.
Your dead will live; their dead bodies will arise. Awake and sing for joy, you who live in the dust; for your dew is the dew of light, and the earth will bring forth its dead.
20 Dhiuru, un joga, donjuru e uteu kendo loruru dhoutu, ponduru kuom ndalo matin nyaka ndalo mar mirimbe kal.
Go, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide for a little while, until the indignation has passed by.
21 To ne, Jehova Nyasaye biro kawuok kare mar dak mondo okum joma odak e piny kuom richogi. Piny noket ayanga remo mosechwer kuome, mi ok noum joge mosenegi.
For, look, Yahweh is about to come out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will uncover her bloodshed, and will no longer conceal her slain.
