Isaiah 28
1 Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with wine.
Mano kaka unune malit un osimbo mar jomer man Efraim, maber mare malich biro rumo ka maua maner, mopidhi ei holo momiyo mana kaka josunga malwokore gi kongʼo!
2 Look, the LORD has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.
Ne, Ruoth Nyasaye nigi ngʼato man kod loch gi teko. Mana kaka pe kod yamo maketho piny, e kaka obiro kelo koth machwe mabubni giteko matiek gik moko duto manie lowo.
3 The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trodden under foot.
Osimbo ma jomer man Efraim sungorego ibiro nyono gi tielo.
4 The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees it.
Berne malich norum mana ka maua maner, mopidhi ei holo momiyo, mi nochal ka olemb ngʼowu mokwongo chiek, ngʼato angʼata monene pone, kendo chame ka rikni morum chuth.
5 In that day, the LORD of hosts will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;
E kindeno Jehova Nyasaye Maratego nobedi kaka osimbo mar duongʼ maber ne joge manok modongʼ.
6 and a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
Enobed e chuny jangʼad bura mowinjore kendo enojiw jolwenjeu makedo, e dhorangeyeu obed gichir kendo olochi.
7 They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.
To jogi bende kwangʼ nikech divai kendo gibayo nikech kongʼo: Jodolo kod jonabi mer makwangʼ nikech kongʼo kendo gitagore nikech divai, githembo ka gineno fweny, gichwanyore ka gingʼado bura.
8 For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.
Mesa duto opongʼ gi ngʼok, onge kamoro amora ma ok dungʼ tik marach.
9 Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?
“En ngʼa motemo puonjo? To koso en ngʼa ma otemo yarone tiend wachne? Ne nyithindo mogolie chak, koso ne joma koro eka ogolie thuno?
10 For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.
Onyisowa weche mak winjre ka mag jomomer ni: Tim ma, tim macha kendo tim ma, tim macha.”
11 But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and a strange language;
To kata kamano Nyasaye biro wuoyo gi jogi gi dho welo kod dhok mayoreyore.
12 to whom he said, "This is the resting place. Give rest to weary;" and "This is the refreshing;" but they would not listen.
Mowachone niya, “Ma en kar yweyo, joma ool mondo oywe.” Kendo niya, “Ma en kar kwe,” to ne ok ginyal winjo.
13 Therefore the word of the LORD will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.
Kuom mano, wach Jehova Nyasaye biro chalonegi mana ka wach awacha mar joma omer niya: Tim ma, tim macha, kendo tim ma, tim macha, matin ka, matin kacha, mamiyo gikwangʼ koni gi koni mi gipodhi kendo gihinyre ma makgi e obadho.
14 Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:
Kuom mano winjuru wach Jehova Nyasaye un joma jaro ji ma, jotend ogandani modak Jerusalem.
15 "Because you have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won't come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.'" (Sheol h7585)
Usungoru niya, “Wasetimo singruok gi tho wasedonjo e winjruok gi liete omiyo, ka masira miwachono nolandre e piny to ok nomulwa, nimar waseketo miriambo ragengʼ-wa, kendo wuondruok ka kar pondo.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore thus says the LORD, "Look, I am laying in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation, and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho, “Ne, aketo kidi e Sayun, ma en kidi moyier, en kidi motegno, ma nengone tek, moriwo kor ot kendo man-gi mise mongirore; ma ngʼat moyie kuome ok nobam.
17 I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
Abiro miyo adiera bedo tol mipimogo kendo tim makare kaka rapim mirieyogo ot; to kodh pe biro yweyo karu mar pondo, un jo-miriambo kendo pi biro pongʼo kuondeu mag tony.
18 Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it. (Sheol h7585)
Singruok maru gi tho nobed maonge; kendo winjruok mane utimo gi liete ok nobedi. Ka masira nomwomre, to mano ema nochwadu piny. (Sheol h7585)
19 As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message."
E kinde duto ma masira nobi enotieku; noyweu okinyi ka okinyi kendo odiechiengʼ gotieno.” Ka wachni nodonjne ji, to ginibed gi bwok maduongʼ.
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
Kitanda nobed machiek ma ok nyal rieye tielo tir, kendo onget nobed matin ma ok nyal umo ngʼato maber.
21 For the LORD will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.
To Jehova Nyasaye biro aa malo mana kaka notimo e Got Perazim, mirimbe nowuogi kaka ne otimore e Holo mar Gibeon, mondo oti tichne, tichne mayoreyore ma ji kia kendo timne mar wich teko.
22 And as for you, do not be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard a decree of destruction from the LORD of hosts, on the whole earth.
Koro weuru ajara mondo kik tol motweugo ridre, nimar Ruoth Nyasaye ma en Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, osenyisa wach mar kethruok mabiro kwako piny duto.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice. Listen, and hear my speech.
Chik iti kendo iwinj dwonda, keturu chunyu mondo uwinj weche mawacho.
24 Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?
Ka japur puro puodho mondo okom to bende osiko ka opuro apura? Koso bende osiko ka obuso abusa?
25 When he has leveled its surface, doesn't he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and emmer as its borders?
Kosetieko loso puothe donge ochwoyo kothe mopogore opogore kendo okiro kal? To donge opidho shairi kanyo kod ngano e bath puodho?
26 For his God instructs him in right judgment, and teaches him.
Nyasache nyise yo monego oluw kendo puonje yo maber.
27 For the dill are not threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.
Cham moko ok din gi twor to bende kal ok wuothie wiye gi gari; moko to idino gi luth kendo kal itengʼo gi kede.
28 Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses do not grind it.
Ngano nyaka regi mondo olos makati; omiyo ok dine amingʼa. Kata obedo ni oywayo gache mar dino kuome, to faresene ok rege.
29 This also comes forth from the LORD of hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
Magi duto bende oa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma jangʼad rieko mowinjore, kendo ma parone ber ahinya.
