Isaiah 58
1 Cry, cease not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their wicked doings, and the house of Jacob their sins.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wowoyak ke kuiyom nufon! Fahk nu sin mwet luk mwet Israel ke ma koluk lalos!
2 For they seek me from day to day, sad desire to know my ways, as a nation that hath done justice, and hath not forsaken the judgment of their God: they ask of me the judgments of justice: they are willing to approach to God.
Elos alu nu sik len nukewa, ac fahk mu elos kena etu mwe luti luk ac in akos ma sap luk. Elos fahk mu elos lungse nga in sang nu selos ma sap suwohs, ac elos insewowo na in alu nu sik.”
3 Why have we fasted, and thou hast not regarded: have we humbled our souls, and thou hast not taken notice? Behold in the day of your fast your own will is found, and you exact of all your debtors.
Mwet uh siyuk, “Efu ku kut in lalo LEUM GOD El fin tiana liye? Mwe mea kut in tia mongo El fin tia lohma nu sesr?” LEUM GOD El fahk nu selos, “Mweyen ke pacl kowos lalo uh, kowos oru na lungse lowos sifacna, ac kowos akkohsye mwet orekma lowos.
4 Behold you fast for debates and strife. and strike with the fist wickedly. Do not fast as you have done until this day, to make your cry to be heard on high.
Lalo lowos uh oru kowos in mongsa, na kowos akukuin ac anwuk. Ya kowos nunku mu nga ac lohng pre lowos ke lalo ouinge?
5 Is this such a fast as I have chosen: for a man to afflict his soul for a day? is this it, to wind his head about like a circle, and to spread sackcloth and ashes? wilt thou call this a fast, and a day acceptable to the Lord?
Pacl kowos lalo, kowos sifacna oru kowos in keok. Kowos suwoli nwe ten oana soko loa kuruweni, ac kowos laknelik nuknuk yohk eoa ac sang apat nu fac kowos in ona fac. Ya kowos pangon mu pa ingan lalo uh? Ya kowos nunku mu nga engankin?
6 Is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? loose the bands of wickedness, undo the bundles that oppress, let them that are broken go free, and break asunder every burden.
“Kain lalo se ma nga lungse uh pa inge: tulalosla su kapir ke nununku sesuwos, ac aksukosokye mwet su kowos akkeokye.
7 Deal thy bread to the hungry, and bring the needy and the harbourless into thy house: when thou shalt see one naked, cover him, and despise not thy own flesh.
Sang mongo nun mwet masrinsral, ac usak mwet sukasrup ma wangin lohm se nu in lohm suwos. Sang nuknuk nu sin mwet su enenu nuknuk, ac tia srangesr in kasru mwet in sou lowos sifacna.
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thy health shall speedily arise, and thy justice shall go before thy face, and the glory of the Lord shall gather thee up.
“Na kulang luk fah tolkowosyak oana kalmen faht in lotutang, ac kinet keiwos ac fah sa in mahla. Nga fah wi kowos pacl nukewa in moli kowos. Ac nga fah loangekowos yen nukewa.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall hear: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou wilt take away the chain out of the midst of thee, and cease to stretch out the finger, and to speak that which profiteth not.
Pacl kowos pre, nga fah topuk kowos. Pacl kowos pang nu sik, nga fah lohng kowos. “Kowos fin tulokinya ma upa kowos sang akkeokye mwet, ac tia sifil aklusrongtenye mwet, ku fahk kas in pirakak lain mwet,
10 When thou shalt pour out thy soul to the hungry, and shalt satisfy the afflicted soul then shall thy light rise up in darkness, and thy darkness shall be as the noonday.
ac kowos fin kite mwet masrinsral, ac kasrelos su muta in enenu, na lohsr su apinkowosla fah ekla oana kalmen faht ke infulwen len.
11 And the Lord will give thee rest continually, and will fill thy soul with brightness, and deliver thy bones, and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a fountain of water whose waters shall not fail.
Na nga fah kol kowos pacl nukewa, ac akfalye mwe enenu lowos ke kowos fahsr yen mwesis. Nga fah akkeye kowos ac oru kowos in ku na. Kowos ac fah oana sie ima yohk kof we, oana sie unon in kof ma tiana mihnla.
12 And the places that have been desolate for ages shall be built in thee: thou shalt raise up the foundations of generation and generation: and thou shalt be called the repairer of the fences, turning the paths into rest.
Mwet lowos fah sifil musaela lohm ma musalla pacl na loeloes. Musa sacn ac orek fin pwelung meet ah. Ac fah eteyuk mu kowos mwet su sifilpa musaeak pot lun siti uh, ac sifil tulokunak lohm ma tuh musalla ah.”
13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy own will in my holy day, and call the sabbath delightful, and the holy of the Lord glorious, and glorify him, while thou dost not thy own ways, and thy own will is not found: to speak a word:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fin oru len Sabbath in sie len mutal, ac tia ukwe lungse lowos sifacna ke len sac; kowos fin saokkin len mutal luk, ac akfulatye ke kowos tia fufahsryesr loes, ku orekma, ac tia fahk kas lusrongten ke len sac,
14 Then shalt thou be delighted in the Lord, and I will lift thee up above the high places of the earth, and will feed thee with the inheritance of Jacob thy father. For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
na kowos ac fah pulakin insewowo ke sripen kowos kulansupweyu. Nga ac fah oru mwet in mutunfacl nukewa in akfulatye kowos, ac kowos ac fah usrui facl se su nga tuh sang nu sel Jacob, papa matu tomowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
