Isaiah 65
1 [This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
“Ne afwenyora ne joma ne ok openja, bende ne oyuda gi joma ne ok omanya. To ne oganda mane ok luong nyinga, ne awachonegi ni, ‘Eri an, eri an.’
2 [It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
Odiechiengʼ duto aserieyo bada ne oganda ma wigi tek, jogo mawuotho e yore ma ok beyo, ka gitimo dwarogi giwegi,
3 They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
ma gin joma osiko mana ka miya mirima e wangʼa awuon, ka gitimo misengini e puothe, kendo giwangʼo ubani e kendo molos gi matafare;
4 They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
gibet e dier liete joma otho otieno duto ka, gipondo kuonde mobuto, gichamo ring anguro, kendo agulnigi otingʼo chiemo moko makwero;
5 [Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
giwacho ni ji mamoko niya, ‘Bed mabor koda; kik isud buta, nimar aler moloyi!’ Joma kamago gin mana iro mawuok e uma kendo ka mach maliel ma ok tho odiechiengʼ duto.
6 I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
“To ne, wachno osiko kondiki e nyima ni: Ok analingʼ to abiro chulo kuor adimba; abiro chulo kuor kuneno,
7 for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
ma en richo magu kaachiel gi richo mag kwereu,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho. Nikech negitimo misengini e gode mine gidwanyo nyinga e gode matindo, omiyo abiro kumogi chuth ka gineno kuom timbegi mosekadho.
8 This is [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Mana kaka olemo maber inyalo yudi e saga marach, ma ji wach ni, ‘Kik wite, nimar pod nitie gima ber kuome, e kaka anatim e lo jotichna kendo ok anatiekgi duto.’
9 I will spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
Abiro kelo nyikwa joka Jakobo kendo joka Juda, jogo manokaw godena; ee joga mogen ma jotichna nokaw pinyno mi gidagie.
10 [Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
Joga mosebedo ka manya nokwa jambgi Sharon kendo Holo mar Akor nobed lek mar dhog-gi.
11 But [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
“To un musejwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye kendo wiu osewil kod goda maler, un mupedho mesa mar misengini, kendo uloso sewni ne nyiseche manono.
12 [It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
Aseketou e dho ligangla, kendo un duto unugo chongu kar nek; nimar ne aluongou, to onge ngʼama ne odwoko, ne awuoyo kodu to onge ngʼama nowinjo. Ne utimo timbe mamono e nyima, kendo uyiero mana gik mamorou.”
13 I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
Kuom mano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto wacho: “Jotichna nochiem, to unudeny; jotichna nomethi, to unuwinj riyo; jotichna nobed gimor, to unune wichkuot.
14 Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
Jotichna nower, kamor opongʼo chunygi, to unuywagi ka lit opongʼo chunyu, kendo unudengi ka chunyu otur.
15 Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
Nyingu nobed gir kwongʼ e dier joga mayiero, nimar Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto notieku chuth, kendo nomi jotichne madiera nying machielo.
16 The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
Ngʼato angʼata mano dwar gweth e piny nyaka luong mana nying Nyasaye madiera; kendo ngʼato angʼata ma nokwongʼre e piny, nokwongʼre mana gi nying Nyasaye madiera. Nimar chandruok machon wich nowilgo, kendo ginilal e wangʼa.”
17 “Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
“Winjuru, abiro chweyo polo manyien kod piny manyien. Gik mosekadho ok nochak opar bende ok ginibi kata e paro.
18 Be glad and always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
To bed mamor kendo gi ilo manyaka chiengʼ, gi gik ma abiro chweyo, nimar abiro chweyo Jerusalem obed dala makelo mor, kendo joma odakie obed gi ilo.
19 I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
Abiro bedo gi mor gi Jerusalem kendo bedo gi ilo nikech joga; ywak kod koko mar nduru ok nochak owinji kuome kendo.
20 No child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
“E polo manyien-no kod piny manyien-no ok nochak oyudie nyathi minywolo bangʼe dak mana kuom ndalo manok; kata ngʼat maduongʼ ma ok nodag matiek hike duto, ngʼat manotho ka hike mia achiel, nokwan mana ni otho ka pod en rawera; kendo ngʼat manotho ka hike pok ochopo higa mia achiel, nokwan mana ka ngʼama okwongʼ.
21 My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
Gibiro gero udi mi gidagie kendo gibiro pidho mzabibu mi gicham olembgi.
22 As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
Ok ginichak giger udi kae to jomoko nono ema dakie, kata pidho cham to jomoko nono ema biro chamo. Mana kaka yath dak amingʼa, e kaka joga nodagi, joga mayiero none mor kuom gik ma lwetgi oseloso.
23 They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
Ok gini chandre kayiem nono, kata nywolo nyithindo mokwongʼ; nimar ginibedi oganda ma Jehova Nyasaye, ogwedho gin kod nyikwagi.
24 Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for them].
Abiro dwokogi kata kapok giluonga, kendo abiro winjogi kata kapok giwuoyo.
25 No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Ondiek kod rombo nokwa kaachiel, sibuor nocham lum mana kaka faras, to lowo ema nobed chiemb thuol. Onge gima ginikethi e godega duto maler,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
