Isaiah 46
1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle. The things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
“Pa inge saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon! Meet, mwet uh alu nu ke Bel ac Nebo, A inge touyak ma sruloala ingan nu fin donkey, Na ke toasr ma sruloala uh, donkey uh totola.
2 They stoop, they bow down together. They could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
Ma sruloala inge tia ku in sifacna molelosla. Sruoh elos ac utukla. Saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon pa inge!
3 Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from their birth, who have been carried from the womb.
“Porongeyu, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, Kowos nukewa su lula sin mwet luk. Nga nuna karingin kowos oe ke kowos isusla ah me.
4 And even to old age I am he, and even to hoar hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear, yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
Nga pa God lowos ac nga fah karingin kowos Nwe ke na kowos matuoh ac fiayala. Nga orekowosla ac nga fah karingin kowos. Nga fah kasrekowos ac molikowosla.”
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be alike?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su kowos ac lumweyu nu kac? Ya oasr sie saya oana nga?
6 Such as lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, they hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god. They fall down, yea, they worship.
Mwet uh ikasla pak lalos ac okoala gold uh liki; Elos pauniya silver ke mwe paun. Elos moli nu sin sie mwet orekma ke gold elan orala sie god, Na elos epasr ac alu nu kac.
7 They bear it upon the shoulder. They carry it, and set it in its place, and it stands. From its place it shall not remove. Yea, he may cry to it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Elos srukak nu finpisalos ac us fahsr. Elos ac tulokinya ke sie acn, ac el tu we — Tia ku in mukuila liki acn sac. Kutena mwet fin alu nu kac, ma sruloala sac tia ku in topuk, Ku molella liki ongoiya.
8 Remember this, and show yourselves men. Bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
“Kowos mwet koluk, esam ma se inge; Nunku ke ma nga orala uh.
9 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else. I am God, and there is none like me,
Esam ma sikyak pacl loeloes somla. Kowos in etu lah nga mukena pa God, Ac wangin sie saya oana nga.
10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure,
Nga tuh fahkak na emeet ke ma ac sikyak in pacl tok uh. In pacl loeloes somla nga fahkak mea ac fah tuku. Nga tuh fahk lah pwapa luk ac tia ku in tafongla. Ac nga fah oru ma nukewa fal nu ke ma lungse luk.
11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country. Yea, I have spoken. I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed. I will also do it.
Nga ac pangon sie mwet in tuku kutulap me. El ac pwesrouli oana sie eagle, Ac orala ma ng oakiya in orekla. Nga fahk tari, ac ma nga fahk uh ac fah orekla.
12 Hearken to me, ye stout-hearted, who are far from righteousness:
“Porongeyu, kowos mwet likkeke, Su nunku mu kutangla uh arulana loesla liki kowos.
13 I bring near my righteousness. It shall not be far off. And my salvation shall not tarry, and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Nga ac use len in kutangla in apkuran — Tiana loes liki kowos. Kutangla luk fah tia ikolyuki. Nga fah molela Jerusalem, Ac oru in akfulatyeyuk Israel in acn we.”
