Isaiah 46
1 Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.
“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 The gods cower; they crouch together, unable to relieve the burden; but they themselves go into captivity.
Ma sruloala inge tia ku in sifacna molelosla. Sruoh elos ac utukla. Saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon pa inge!
3 “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.
“Porongeyu, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, Kowos nukewa su lula sin mwet luk. Nga nuna karingin kowos oe ke kowos isusla ah me.
4 Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.
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 you liken Me or count Me equal? To whom will you compare Me, that we should be alike?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su kowos ac lumweyu nu kac? Ya oasr sie saya oana nga?
6 They pour out their bags of gold and weigh out silver on scales; they hire a goldsmith to fashion it into a god, so they can bow down and 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 lift it to their shoulder and carry it along; they set it in its place, and there it stands, not budging from that spot. They cry out to it, but it does not answer; it saves no one from his troubles.
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 be brave; take it to heart, you transgressors!
“Kowos mwet koluk, esam ma se inge; Nunku ke ma nga orala uh.
9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; 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 I declare the end from the beginning, and ancient times from what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and all My good pleasure I will accomplish.’
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 I summon a bird of prey from the east, a man for My purpose from a far-off land. Truly I have spoken, and truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely 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 Listen to Me, you stubborn people, far removed from righteousness:
“Porongeyu, kowos mwet likkeke, Su nunku mu kutangla uh arulana loesla liki kowos.
13 I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.
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.”
