Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert Sea. As the whirlewindes in the South vse to passe from the wildernesse, so shall it come from the horrible land.
Wach mokor kuom piny Ongoro manie dho Nam: Mana kaka kalausi mager kudho koluwo piny man yo milambo, e kaka joma monjou biro wuok e piny motwo, piny masira.
2 A grieuous vision was shewed vnto me, The transgressour against a transgressour, and the destroyer against a destroyer. Goe vp Elam, besiege Media: I haue caused all the mourning thereof to cease.
Fweny malich osenyisa ni: Jandhoko biro ndhoko, to jayeko biro yeko. Elam mondo omonje! Media mondo olwore koni gi koni! Abiro tieko lit duto mane okelo.
3 Therefore are my loynes filled with sorow: sorowes haue taken me as the sorowes of a woman that trauayleth: I was bowed downe when I heard it, and I was amased when I sawe it.
Kaneno magi to apuodora ka rem rama e ringra, rem rama mana ka dhako mamuoch kayo; kibaji goya kuom gik mawinjo kendo midhiero omaka kuom gik ma aneno.
4 Mine heart failed: fearefulnesse troubled me: the night of my pleasures hath he turned into feare vnto me.
Chunya bwok, denda tetni nikech luoro; gombo ma an-go mondo piny imre oselokorena masira.
5 Prepare thou the table: watch in the watch towre: eate, drinke: arise, ye princes, anoynt the shielde.
Negiiko mesa mondo gimethi kendo gichiem, to apoya nono negipo kinyisogi, ni mondo giik gigegi mag lweny.
6 For thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Go, set a watchman, to tell what he seeth.
Ruoth Nyasaye wachona niya, “Dhiyo mondo iket jangʼicho mondo odwok wach kuom gik moneno.
7 And he sawe a charet with two horsemen: a charet of an asse, and a charet of a camel: and he hearkened and tooke diligent heede.
Ka oneno geche lweny miywayo gi farese, gi joma oidho punde kata ngamia, to oikre kendo obed motangʼ.”
8 And he cryed, A lyon: my lorde, I stand continually vpon ye watche towre in the day time, and I am set in my watche euery night:
Kendo jangʼicho nokok niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasacha pile ka pile asebedo kar ngʼicho, kendo otieno asiko e kara mar tich.
9 And beholde, this mans charet commeth with two horsemen. And he answered and said, Babel is fallen: it is fallen, and all the images of her gods hath he broken vnto the ground.
Ero ngʼato biro koidho gach lweny miywayo gi farese. To ngʼatno nowacho niya, ‘Babulon osepodho, adier osepodho, adier osepodho, kendo nyisechene manono osetur matindo tindo!’”
10 O my threshing, and the corne of my floore. That which I haue heard of the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, haue I shewed vnto you.
Yaye ogandana mosenyon piny ka cham midino anyisou gima asewinjo koa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth vnto me out of Seir, Watchman, what was in ye night? Watchman, what was in the night?
Wach mokor kuom Duma: Ngʼato obiro ira koa Seir, kendo openja monwore niya, “Jarito odongʼ seche adi mondo piny oru? Jarito odongʼ seche adi mondo piny oru?”
12 The watchman saide, The morning commeth, and also the night. If yee will aske, enquire: returne and come.
Eka jarito nodwoko niya, “Piny chiegni ru, to otieno bende biro chopo. Kidwaro penjo, to penji kendo imed penjo.”
13 The burden against Arabia. In the forest of Arabia shall yee tarie all night, euen in the waies of Dedanim.
Wach mokor kuom jo-Arabu: Un jo-Dedan ma jo-ohala mawuotho ka gi kacha ka bworo e thim jo-Arabu,
14 O inhabitants of the lande of Tema, bring foorth water to meete the thirstie, and preuent him that fleeth with his bread.
keluru pi ne joma riyo oloyo, to un mudak Tema, keluru chiemo ne joma oseringo ka pondone lweny.
15 For they flee from the drawen swords, euen from the drawen sword, and from the bent bowe, and from the grieuousnesse of warre.
Giseringone ligangla, ne ligangla mowuodhi, ne atungʼ moywa kendo ne lweny mager.
16 For thus hath the Lord sayd vnto me, Yet a yeere according to the yeeres of an hireling, and all the glorie of Kedar shall faile.
Ruoth Nyasaye wachona niya, “Mana kaka ja-otongʼo kwano hike achiel ma tije rumogo e kaka duongʼ mar Kedar norum.
17 And the residue of the nomber of ye strong archers of the sonnes of Kedar shall be fewe: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
Joma nok ma gin jolweny mag asere ma gin thuondi man Kedar ema notony. Jehova Nyasaye ma en Nyasach Israel osewacho.”
