Isaiah 49
1 Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The LORD called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.
Porongeyu, mutunfacl uh, Kowos mwet su muta loessula! Ke nga srakna oan insien nina kiuk, LEUM GOD El pangonyu ke inek, Ac srisrngiyuwi nga in mwet kulansap lal.
2 He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.
El oru kas luk in kosroh oana sie cutlass. El lisringyuyak ke paol sifacna. El oreyu in oana soko sukan pisr na kosroh Ma akola in orekmakinyuk.
3 He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”
El fahk nu sik, “Israel, kom mwet kulansap luk; Ke sripom, mwet uh ac kaksakinyu.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent My strength in futility and vanity; yet My vindication is with the LORD, and My reward is with My God.”
Nga fahk, “Nga orekma, a wangin sripa! Nga sang ku luk nufon, a wanginna ma nga orala.” Nwe ouinge nga ku in lulalfongi LEUM GOD lah El ac loangeyu; El ac fah se ma lacne nu sik ke ma nga oru.
5 And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him— for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—
Meet liki nga isusla, LEUM GOD El srisrngiyuwi; El oru nga in mwet kulansap lal in folokonma mwet lal, In folokonma mwet Israel su fahsrelik fin faclu. LEUM GOD El akfulatyeyu; Ku luk ma sel me.
6 He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet kulansap luk, kom ac tia folokonak Ku lun mwet Israel su painmoulla mukena, A oasr sie kunokon yohk liki su nga akoo nu sum. Nga fah oru tuh kom in sie kalem nu sin mutunfacl puspis, Tuh faclu nufon fah ku in moulla.”
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”
God mutal, su Nien Molela lun Israel, El fahk nu sel su arulana pilesreyuk Ac srungayuk sin mutunfacl puspis, Ac el mwet kulansap lun mwet leum: “Tokosra uh ac fah liye ke kom taltalla, Ac fah tuyak in akkalemye sunak lalos nu sum; Fisrak uh fah oayapa liye, Ac elos fah faksufi in akfulatye kom.” Ma inge ac sikyak mweyen LEUM GOD El sulela mwet kulansap lal; God mutal lun Israel El liyaung wulela lal.
8 This is what the LORD says: “In the time of favor I will answer You, and in the day of salvation I will help You; I will keep You and appoint You to be a covenant for the people, to restore the land, to apportion its desolate inheritances,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Ke pacl se ac tuku tuh nga in molikowosla, Nga fah kasrekowos ac topuk pre lowos, Nga fah karingin kowos ac lisring kowos, Ac nga fah orala sie wuleang nu sin mwet nukewa keiwos. Nga fah lela kowos in sifilpa oakwuki In facl suwos, su oan musalla in pacl inge.
9 to say to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.’ They will feed along the pathways, and find pasture on every barren hill.
Nga fah fahk nu sin mwet kapir, ‘Kowos sukosokla! Som!’ Ac nu selos su muta in lohsr, ‘Ilme nu ke kalem uh!’ Elos ac fah oana sheep su mongo mah fin inging uh.
10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will scorching heat or sun beat down on them. For He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water.
Elos ac fah tiana sifil masrinsral ku malu. Fulen faht yen mwesis uh fah tia akkeokyalos, Tuh elos ac fah kolyuk sin sie su lungse elos. El fah pwanulos nu ke unon in kof.
11 I will turn all My mountains into roads, and My highways will be raised up.
“Nga fah orala soko inkanek lulap fineol uh, Ac akoela soko innek mwet luk in fufahsryesr fac.
12 Behold, they will come from far away, from the north and from the west, and from the land of Aswan.”
Mwet luk fah tuku liki acn loesla, Liki epang ac roto, Ac liki acn Aswan in acn eir.”
13 Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.
On, kusrao! Sasa ke engan, faclu! Lela eol uh in wowoyak ke pusren on! LEUM GOD El fah akwoye mwet lal; El ac fah pakomuta mwet keok lal.
14 But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me; the Lord has forgotten me!”
Tusruktu mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El som liki kut! El mulkinkutla.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, or lack compassion for the son of her womb? Even if she could forget, I will not forget you!
Na LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Ku sie mutan ku in mulkunla tulik natul ma srakna titi, Ku tia lungse tulik se ma el sifacna oswela? Nina se finne ku in mulkunla tulik natul, Nga fah tiana mulkinkowosla.
16 Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me.
Jerusalem, nga tia ku in mulkinkomla! Nga simusla inem loun pouk.
17 Your builders hasten back; your destroyers and wreckers depart from you.
“Elos su ac sifil musaikomyak, elos akuranna tuku, Ac elos su konauskomla ac fah som.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around. They all gather together; they come to you. As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “you will wear them all as jewelry and put them on like a bride.
Ngetla ac liye ma sikyak inge! Mwet lom pa fahsreni ingo — elos foloko nu yen selos! Ke pwayena lah nga pa God moul, Kom ac fah yukin mwet lom Oana sie mutan su ac marut el konkin ke mwe naweyuk lal.
19 For your ruined and desolate places and your ravaged land will now indeed be too small for your people, and those who devoured you will be far away.
“Facl sum tuh arulana musalla ac wanginla ma fac, A inge ac arulana srikla Nu selos su ac tuku in muta we. Elos su oru kom in oan musalla uh Ac fah som loesla liki kom.
20 Yet the children of your bereavement will say in your hearing, ‘This place is too small for us; make room for us to live here.’
Sie len, mwet lom ma isusla in sruoh Fah fahk nu sum, ‘Acn se inge iktokla, Kut enenu acn yohk kut in muta we!’
21 Then you will say in your heart, ‘Who has begotten these for me? I was bereaved and barren; I was exiled and rejected. So who has reared them? Look, I was left all alone, so where did they come from?’”
Na kom ac fahk nu sum sifacna, “Su oswela tulik inge nukewa nu sik uh? Tulik nutik uh wanginla ac nga tia ku in sifilpa isus. Nga tuh lisyukla ac utukla nga mwet sruoh, Na su tufahla tulik inge? Tuh sisila nga ac nga mukefanna muta; Tulik inge tuku oya me?’”
22 This is what the Lord GOD says: “Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and raise My banner to the peoples. They will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk nu sin mwet lal: “Nga ac kolak sie akul nu sin mutanfahl uh, Ac elos ac kafusak tulik fusr nutuwos ac folokunulos nu yen selos.
23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”
Tokosra uh ac fah oana papa to se nu sum; Kasra uh ac fah oana nina to se nu sum. Elos ac faksufi ye motom ac arulana akpusiselyalos nu sum. Elos ac akfalye enenu nukewa lom. Na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD; Wangin sie mwet su tupan kasru luk fah mwekinla.”
24 Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Ya kom ku in eisla ma wap lun sie mwet mweun? Ya kom ku in usla mwet sruoh liki sie tokosra sulallal?
25 Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Pa na ingan ma ac sikyak. Mwet sruoh lun mwet mweun ac fah utukla. Ac ma wap lun tokosra sulallal sac ac fah sruhu. Nga ac anwuk lainulos su anwuk nu sum, Ac nga fah molela tulik nutum.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Nga fah oru mwet akkeokye kom in uniya sie sin sie; Elos ac fah sruhi ke akmas ac kasrkusrak. Na mwet e nukewa fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD, El su molikomla ac aksukosokye kom. Elos fah etu lah nga God Kulana lun Israel.”
