Isaya 57
1 Joma kare tho, to onge ngʼama wachno chando e chunye, joma ogeno kuom Nyasaye bende tho, to onge ngʼama dewo kendo joma kare igolo mondo kik richo yudgi.
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth [it] to heart: and merciful men [are] taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil [to come].
2 Joma timbegi ni kare yudo kwe; kendo giyudo yweyo ka ginindo e liel.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, [each one] walking [in] his uprightness.
3 “To un, biuru un yawuot jojuogi, ma koth terruok kod chode!
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the lewd.
4 En ngʼa ma ujaro? En ngʼa mutingʼorene malo kendo kumilone leu? Donge un koth jonjore ma jo-miriambo?
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, [and] thrust out the tongue? [are] ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 Uoworu gi gombo manono ka un e tiend yiend ober kod yiende mamoko motimo otiep; kendo kanyo ema uwangʼoe nyithindu ka misengini e holni kendo e kuonde rogo.
Inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks?
6 Kar dak mar nyisecheni ni e kind hoho motimo lwendni mapoth, kuno ema ogandau nitie. Ee, kuondego ema usechiwoe misengini miolo piny, kod misengini mag cham. Kaluwore gi gigi duto, bende anyalo weyonu?
Among the smooth [stones] of the stream [is] thy portion; they, they [are] thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink-offering, thou hast offered a meat-offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Iseloso kitanda mari kama otingʼore gi malo; kanyo ema isechiwoe misenginigi.
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither thou wentest up to offer sacrifice.
8 E tok dhoutu kod ewi sirni mag dhoutu useketoe kido mar nyisecheu manono. Adier useweya mabor muchalo nyiri molonyore duk kendo unindo e kitanda malach ma useloso; usetimo winjruok gi joma uhero kitendinigi kendo ne uneno dugegi.
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast uncovered [thyself to another] than me, and hast gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].
9 Ne uterone ruoth Molek mo zeituni kod modhi moko mangʼwe ngʼar. Ne uoro jombetre mau e piny mabor; to gikone ne utundo mana e tho owuon! (Sheol h7585)
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase [thyself even] to hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Kata nobedo ni timbegi mamono duto nooli kamano; to ne ok inyal wacho ni, ‘Gionge tich.’ Nibedo gi teko kendo omiyo chunyi ne ok onyosore.
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; [yet] saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thy hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11 “En ngʼatno ma chunyu ogeno ahinya kendo uluoro, momiyo usebedona jo-miriambo, kendo ok usepara kata mana paro wechena e chunyu? Koso en nikech uneno ni aselingʼ ahinya, momiyo ok useluora?
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12 Abiro nyiso ayanga timbeu makare kod tijeu, kendo ok ginikelnu konyruok.
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13 We ane nyisecheni manonogo okonyi sa ma inie chandruok! Yamo mafuto biro yweyogi oko duto, kata mana muya matin nono nokudhgi matergi mabor. To ngʼama oloka kar pondone nokaw piny, mi goda maler nobed mwandune.”
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 Kendo enowach niya: “Buguru yo, bugeuru kendo ulose maber! Goluru gik madichwany joga e yo.”
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 Nimar ma e gima Jal Man Malo Moloyo ma en Jal modak nyaka chiengʼ, ma nyinge ler wacho, “Adak kama ler man malo, kaachiel gi ngʼat mofwenyo richone kendo man-gi chuny mobolore, mondo aduog chuny ngʼat moboloreno kendo ajiw chuny ngʼat mofwenyo richone.
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 Ok anabed ka adhawo ndalo duto, kata bedo gi ich wangʼ kinde duto, nimar katimo kamano, to chuny dhano biro nyosore e nyima, ma en muya mane aketo kuom dhano.
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
17 Ne akecho gi timbene mamono ma ok rum, ne amiye kum, kendo apandone wangʼa ka an-gi mirima, to kata kamano nomedo mana dhiyo nyime gi timbene mamonogo.
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
18 Aseneno yorene to kata kamano abiro change; abiro nyise yo kendo aho chunye;
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 ka achiwo wende pak e dho jo-Israel man-gi kuyo. Kwe, kwe, ne jogo man machiegni kod man maboyo. Kendo abiro changogi,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
20 To joricho chalo gi nam moduwore, ma ok nyal bedo gi kwe, ma apaka mage gingore kendo kelo chwodho.
But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Nyasacha wacho niya, “Onge kwe ne joricho.”
[There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
