< Isaya 30 >

1 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Ubiro neno malit, un nyithindo ma wigi tek, un jogo mosieko gi riekni ma ok maga, ka uloso riwruok ka ok owuok e dwond Roho mara, kendo ka ubiwo richo ewi richo;
“Woe to the rebellious children,” this is Yahweh's declaration. “They make plans, but not from me; they make alliances with other nations, but they were not directed by my Spirit, so they add sin to sin.
2 uringo kudhi Misri ka ok upenja, umanyo kony kuom Farao mondo oresu, kendo ugengʼoru e tipo mar Misri kaka karu mar pondo.
They set out to go down into Egypt, but have not asked for my direction. They seek protection from Pharaoh and take refuge in the shadow of Egypt.
3 To gengʼruok mawuok kuom Farao nobednu wichkuot, kendo tipo mar Misri nokelnu masira.
Therefore Pharaoh's protection will be your shame, and the refuge in Egypt's shade, your humiliation,
4 Kata obedo ni gin gi jotelo Zoan kendo jootene osechopo Hanes,
although their princes are at Zoan, and their messengers have come to Hanes.
5 to ji duto noyud wichkuot kuom jogo ma ok nyal konyogi, jogo ma ok nyal konyogi kata kelonegi ber to mana wichkuot kod achaya.”
They will all be ashamed because of a people who cannot help them, who are neither help nor aid, but a shame, and even a disgrace.”
6 Ma e wach mane okor kuom le mag Negev: Kokadho e piny mar chandruok kod masira, motingʼo sibuoche machwo to gi mamon bende kama thuonde mag bungu kod thuonde maringo piyo odakie, jootegi tingʼo mwandugi e ngʼe punde kendo girkeni mag-gi otingʼ e kuom ngamia, kiterone oganda maonge ohala,
A declaration about the beasts of the Negev: Through the land of trouble and danger, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the camels' humps, to a people who cannot help them.
7 ma en Misri, ma kony mare onge tiende. Kuom mano iluonge ni Rahab maonge nyalo.
For Egypt's help is worthless; therefore I have called her Rahab, who sits still.
8 Dhiyo sani kendo indiknegi wach e kidi mopa, Ndike e kitabu, mondo omi obed janeno, manyaka chiengʼ e ndalo mabiro.
Now go, write it in their presence on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be preserved for the time to come as a testimony.
9 Magi gin oganda mongʼanyo nyithindo ma jo-miriambo, ma ok oikore winjo puonj Jehova Nyasaye.
For these are a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the instruction of Yahweh.
10 Giwachone jokor wach ni, “Kik une fweny moro amora kendo!” To ne jonabi, “Kik uchak unyiswa fweny moro amora makare!” Kornwauru mana weche mamorowa mag wuondruok.
They say to the seers, “Do not see;” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy the truth to us; speak flattering words to us, prophesy illusions.
11 Weuru yorni, wuoguru e ndarani kendo we bwogowa gi Jal Maler mar Israel.
Turn aside from the way, stray off the path; cause the Holy One of Israel to cease speaking before our face.”
12 Kuom mano, ma e wach ma Jal Maler mar Israel wacho: “Nikech isedagi winjo oteni, mi iserwako chuny mar sando ji kendo iseyiengori e timbe mag miganga,
Therefore the Holy One of Israel says, “Because you reject this word and trust in oppression and deceit and lean on it,
13 richoni nobini kaka ohinga mabor mobarore, matetni kendo ruombore piny matek dichiel.
so this sin will be to you like a broken part ready to fall, like a bulge in a high wall whose fall will happen suddenly, in an instant.”
14 Obiro ngʼinjore matindo tindo mana ka agulu molwar piny motore, ma ok nyal yud kata dire moro kodongʼ minyalo kwanygo mach e dwol kata pate mitwomogo pi.”
He will break it as a potter's vessel is broken; he will not spare it, so that there will not be found among its pieces a shard with which to scrape fire from the hearth, or to scoop up water out of the cistern.
15 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto, Jal Maler mar Israel wacho: “Warruok gi kwe nowuog kuom hulo richo, tekou nowuog kuom horuok kod genou kuoma, to kata onge gima usetimo kuom gigi duto.
For this is what the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel says, “In returning and resting you will be saved; in quietness and in trust will be your strength. But you were not willing.
16 Kata kamano uwacho ni, ‘Ooyo, wabiro idho farese mondo waringi.’ To mano ber ubiro ringo! Bende nuwacho ni, ‘Wabiro idho faresewa mi waringi.’ Kuom mano joma lawou nobed jongʼwech molony.
You said, 'No, for we will flee on horses,' so you will flee; and, 'We will ride upon swift horses,' so those who pursue you will be swift.
17 Jou alufu achiel noringi ka ngʼato achiel obwogogi; bende jou noring duto ka ji abich obwogogi, mi unudongʼ kar kendu, mana ka yiend bandera mochwo ewi got malo kata ka law bandera mafwadhore ewi got.”
One thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will flee until your remnant will be like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, or like a flag on a hill.”
18 Kata kamano pod odwaro nyiso ngʼwono mare kuome; obiro mondo onyisu kech mare. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma ja-adiera. Jogo duto mogeno kuome ogwedhi.
Yet Yahweh is waiting to be gracious to you, therefore he is ready to show you mercy. For Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
19 Yaye un oganda mag Sayun, modak Jerusalem, ok unuchak uywag kendo. Mano kaka notimnu ngʼwono e kinde ma unuywagne mondo okonyu! E sa moro amora mowinjo ywaku, to nokonyu.
For a people will live in Zion, in Jerusalem, and you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When he hears it, he will answer you.
20 Kata Jehova Nyasaye miyou chiemo mar chandruok kod pi mar masira, to jopuonju ok nochak opondnu kendo, to ununegi gi wengeu uwegi.
Though Yahweh gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, even so, your teacher will not hide himself anymore, but you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
21 Kata ka ubaro korachwich kata koracham, itu to nowinj dwol mawuok ka ngʼeu, kawacho niya, “Ma e yo; luweuru.”
Your ears will hear a word behind you saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.
22 Bangʼe unudwany nyisecheu manono mubawo gi fedha kod dhahabu; kendo unuwitgi ka ukwano gi ka gik ma ok ler, mi uwitgi ka nanga moywego remb nyodo, kuwachonegi niya, “Aiuru ira.”
You will desecrate your carved figures overlaid with silver and your gold cast figures. You will throw them away like a menstrual rag. You will say to them, “Get out of here.”
23 Bende noornu koth kuom kodhi muchwowo e lowo kendo chiemo mawuok e piny nobed mamiyo kendo mangʼeny. E kindeno jambu nokwa e lege madongo.
He will give the rain for your seed when you sow the ground, and bread with abundance from the ground, and the crops will be abundant. In that day your cattle will graze in broad pastures.
24 Rwethu kod pundeu mapuro lowo nocham lumb ogada kod chiembgi moregi, mi keyo gi uma kod opawo.
The oxen and the donkeys, who plow the ground, will eat seasoned feed that has been winnowed with a shovel and a fork.
25 E odiechiengʼ maduongʼ mar yengʼo, ka kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo opodho, oula mag pige nomol ewi gode duto kod pidhe duto motingʼore malo.
On every high mountain and on every high hill, there will be flowing brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter when the towers fall.
26 Dwe norieny ka wangʼ chiengʼ, kendo ler mar chiengʼ nobed maler moloyo kaka orieny pile nyadibiriyo, machal mana gi ler mar chiengʼ mar ndalo abiriyo, e kindeno ma Jehova Nyasaye nowir kuonde duto moriemo mag joge kendo nochang adhondegi.
The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the sunlight of seven days. Yahweh will bind up the breaking of his people and heal the bruises of his wounding them.
27 Ne, Nying Jehova Nyasaye aa kuma bor, ka en-gi mirima mager machalo gi iro mopongʼo bor polo; dhoge opongʼ gi mirima mangʼeny, kendo lewe en mach mawengʼo.
Look, the name of Yahweh comes from a distant place, burning with his anger and in dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 Muche chalo gi oula mopongʼ, mopongʼ nyaka dwonde. Oyiengo ogendini gi rapiedhi mar kethruok; kendo oywayo ji gi chuma mamiyo girwenyo.
His breath is like an overflowing torrent that reaches up to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. His breath is a bridle in the jaws of the peoples to cause them to wander away.
29 Kendo unuwer wende machalo gi wende mag nyasi mag sawo maler miwero gotieno; chunyu nobed gi mor mana ka ji mabedo gi mor ka goyo asili kadhi e got Jehova Nyasaye, ma en Lwanda mar Israel.
You will have a song as in the night when a holy feast is observed, and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Jehova Nyasaye nomi oganda winj dwonde mar duongʼ kendo enomi gine lwete kabiro piny, gi mirima mager kod mach mawengʼo, bende gi rumbi motwere gi polo mariadore kod pe.
Yahweh will make the splendor of his voice heard and show the motion of his arm in storming anger and flames of fire, with windstorm, rainstorm, and hailstones.
31 Dwond Jehova Nyasaye biro mako dho jo-Asuria; to gi odungane obiro negogi.
For at the voice of Yahweh, Assyria will be shattered; he will strike them with a staff.
32 Chwat ka chwat ma Jehova Nyasaye nochwadgigo gi ludhe mar kum kokedo kodgi malit, nomi jo-Nyasaye bed mamor ka gigoyo oyieke kod nyatiti.
Every stroke of the appointed rod that Yahweh will lay on them will be accompanied with the music of tambourines and harps as he battles and fights with them.
33 Tofeth noseiki nyaka aa chon; noseik ne ruoth. Kare mar kendo osekuny matut kendo malach, kodhurie yiende mangʼeny gi mach maduongʼ; kendo much Jehova Nyasaye, machalo mach makakni ema moke.
For a place of burning was prepared long ago. Indeed, it is prepared for the king, and God has made it deep and wide. The pile is ready with a fire and much wood. The breath of Yahweh, like a stream of brimstone, will set it on fire.
