Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of Jehovah, and make mention of the God of Israel, not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Porongo ma se inge, kowos mwet Israel Su ma in fwilin tulik natul Judah: Kowos fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD Ac fahk mu kowos alu nu sin God lun Israel, Tusruktu wanginna kalmen ma kowos fahk uh.
2 For they are named after the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Kowos filangkin in fahk mu Kowos mwet in siti mutal sac, Ac lah kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in God lun Israel, Su Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
3 I have declared the former things long ago; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to be heard: I wrought suddenly, and they came to pass.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Israel, “Oemeet nga tuh fahkak ma ac sikyak; Na in kitin pacl ah na, nga orala sikyak.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass,
Nga nuna etu lah pwaye kowos ac mau likkeke, Upa oana osra, ac keke oana bronze.
5 so I have long ago declared [them] to thee; before they came to pass I caused thee to hear [them]; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, or my molten image hath commanded them.
Ouinge nga palyeak ma ac sikyak nu suwos ke pacl loeloes somla — Nga fahkak ke ma ac orek meet liki na pacl sikyak uh, In oru kowos in tia fahk mu Ma sruloala ac mwe lemlem lowos pa oru in sikyak.
6 Thou heardest, see all this; — and ye, will not ye declare [it]? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, and things hidden, and that thou knewest not:
“Ma nukewa nga tuh fahkak meet, liye pa sikyak tari inge. Kowos enenu in akilen lah ma nga tuh fahk ah pwayena. Inge nga ac fahk nu suwos ke ma sasu su ac fah tuku, Ke kutu ma lukma ma nga tiana fahkak meet.
7 they are created now, and not long ago; and before this day thou hast not heard them, lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Nga tufacna oru ma inge in sikyak; Wangin ma ouinge orek in pacl somla. Funu oasr, kowos lukun fahk mu kowos etu tari kac.
8 Yea, thou heardest not, yea, thou knewest not, yea, from of old thine ear was not opened; for I knew that thou wouldest ever deal treacherously, and thou wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Nga nuna etu lah tia ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos, Mweyen eteyuk lah kowos mwet utuk nunak. Pa sis kowos tiana wi lohng ke ma inge, Ac wanginna kas kac sun insrewos.
9 For my name's sake I will defer mine anger, and [for] my praise will I refrain as to thee, that I cut thee not off.
“In oru tuh mwet uh in kaksakin Inek, Nga kutongya kasrkusrak luk. Nga sruokyana tuh nga in tia kunauskowosla.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not as silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Nga srike kowos ke e lun keok, Oana ke silver uh liklikiyukla in sie funyu, Ac nga konauk lah wangin ma wo keiwos.
11 For mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do [it]; for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Ma nga oru uh nga oru ke sripuk — Nga fah tia lela Inek in pilesreyuk Ku lela kutena mwet saya in ipeis ke wolana Su fal in ma na luk, ac ma luk mukena.”
12 Hearken unto me, Jacob, and [thou] Israel, my called. I [am] HE; I, the first, and I, the last.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, mwet su nga pangonak, porongeyu! Nga mukefanna pa God! Nga pa emeet ac nga pa etok!
13 Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread abroad the heavens: I call unto them, they stand up together.
Pouk pa orala pwelung lun faclu Ac laknelik inkusrao. Ke nga pang nu ke faclu ac kusrao Elos sulaklak na tuku ac tu ye mutuk.
14 All ye, gather yourselves together, and hear: which among them hath declared these things? He whom Jehovah hath loved shall execute his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
“Kowos nukewa toeni nu sie ac lipsre! Wangin sie inmasrlon god uh ku in palye Lah mwet se nga sulela uh ac fah sroang mweuni Babylon. El ac fah oru ma nga lungse elan oru.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him, and his way shall be prosperous.
Nga pa tuh kaskas ac pangnol ah; Nga kololma ac nga fah oru tuh in wo ouiyal.
16 Come near unto me, hear ye this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
“Inge kaluku nu yuruk ac lohng ma nga fahk uh. Ke mutawauk ah me, nga kaskas kalem na, Ac oru tuh kas luk in akpwayeiyuk pacl nukewa.” (Inge LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ase ku lal nu sik ac supweyu.)
17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee for [thy] profit, who leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest go.
God mutal lun Israel, LEUM GOD su molikowosla, El fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos, Su lungse luti kowos ke ma ac wo nu suwos sifacna, Ac in kol kowos nu ke inkanek ma fal kowos in fahsr kac.
18 Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! Then would thy peace have been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
“Kowos funu lohang nu ke ma sap luk, Mwe insewowo lukun kahkma Oana soko infacl ma tia wi mihnla. Kutangla lukun tuku nu suwos Oana noa ma tok weacn uh.
19 and thy seed would have been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: their name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Fwilin tulik nutuwos lukun arulana pusla oana puk uh, Ac nga lukun oru elos in tiana wi kunausyukla.”
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing; declare, cause this to be heard, utter it to the end of the earth; say ye, Jehovah hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Tufokla liki acn Babylon, som ac sukosok! Kowos in engan ac sulkakin pweng wo se inge akyokye; oru in eteyuk yen nukewa: “LEUM GOD El molela Israel, mwet kulansap lal!”
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; yea, he clave the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Ke LEUM GOD El pwen mwet lal sasla sie acn fol ac pao yen mwesis, Elos tiana keok ke malu. El orala kof in tuku liki sie eot nu selos; El falngelik eot sac, ac kof uh asrma.
22 There is no peace, saith Jehovah, unto the wicked.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
