Isaiah 45
1 This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
LEUM GOD El sulella Cyrus elan tokosra. El srisrngilya in kutangla mutunfacl pus; El supwalla in eisla wal in tokosra lukelos. LEUM GOD El ac ikasla mutunpot lun siti uh nu sel. Ac El fahk nu sel Cyrus,
2 I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
“Nga sifacna fah akoela inkanek lom, Ac akfwelyela eol uh ac inging uh. Nga fah fukulya mutunpot bronze Ac koteya osra ma sang laki.
3 I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Nga fah sot nu sum wek saok ma oan in acn lohsr ac lukma; Na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Ac lah God lun Israel El pangon kom ke inem.
4 I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
Nga srisrngikomi in kasrel Israel, mwet kulansap luk, Mutanfahl se su nga sulela. Nga ac fah sot nu sum sunak lulap Kom finne tia eteyu.
5 I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
“Nga LEUM GOD; wangin sie pac god sayuk. Nga fah sot nu sum ku ma kom enenu an Kom finne tia eteyu.
6 so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
Nga oru ma inge tuh mwet nukewa faclu — Kutulap lac nwe roto — Fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD, Ac lah wangin pac sie god saya.
7 I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
Nga oralana kewa kalem ac lohsr; Ac nga use na kewa mwe insewowo ac mwe ongoiya. Nga, LEUM GOD, oru ma inge nukewa.
8 Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
Nga fah oru tuh suwoswos in putati inkusrao me oana af; Faclu ac fah ikakla in eis, Na ac fah farengla ke sukosok ac nununku suwohs. Nga, LEUM GOD, fah oru ma inge in sikyak.”
9 What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
Ya sie tup kle ku in akukuin nu sin mwet se ma oralla uh — Tup se ma oana tup nukewa saya uh? Ya kle uh ku in siyuk sin mwet orek tup se lah mea el oru uh? Ya tup sac ku in torkaskas mu mwet se oralla uh wangin etu lal?
10 How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
Ya oasr mwet ku in fahk nu sin papa tumal ac nina kial, “Efu ku komtal oreyula ange?”
11 This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
LEUM GOD, God mutal lun Israel, El su lumahla pacl fahsru, El fahk: “Wangin suwohs lom in kusen siyuk sik ke tulik nutik, Ku in fahk nu sik ma nga in oru!
12 I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
Nga pa orala faclu Ac orala mwet uh in muta fac. Ke ku luk, nga asroelik kusrao; Nga pa nununku faht, malem, ac itu uh.
13 Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
Nga sifacna pa purakulak Cyrus elan mukuila In akfahsrye pwapa luk, ac in aksuwosyela ma tafongla. Nga fah aksuwosyela inkanek nukewa el fahsr we. El ac sifilpa musai Jerusalem, siti luk, Ac aksukosokyela mwet luk su muta in sruoh. Wangin mwet molel ku sang molin eyeinse elan oru ma inge.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa fahk ma inge.
14 This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Israel, “Mwe kasrup lun Egypt ac Ethiopia ac fah ma lom, Ac mwet loeska in Seba ac fah mwet kohs lom. Elos ac fah kapir ke sein ac fahsr tukum. Elos ac fah pasrla nu sum ac sifacna fahk, ‘God El oasr yurum — El mukena God.
15 Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
God lun Israel, su molela mwet lal, El sie God su sifacna okanulla.
16 Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
Elos nukewa su orala ma sruloala fah mwekin; Elos nukewa ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
Tusruktu Israel el moliyukla sin LEUM GOD, Ac kutangla lal oan ma pahtpat; Mwet lal ac fah tiana akmwekinyeyuk.’”
18 For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
LEUM GOD El orala kusrao — El na pa God! El lumahla ac orala faclu — El orala in okak ac kawil. El tia orala tuh in sie acn mwesis, A sie acn mwet uh ku in muta we. El pa fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD Ac wangin pac sie god sayuk.
19 I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
Nga tia kaskas in lukma, Ku okanla sripa luk. Nga tia sapkin mwet Israel In sukyu in sie acn mwesis. Nga pa LEUM GOD, ac nga fahk ma pwaye. Nga oru in kalem ma su suwohs.”
20 Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahsreni nu sie, kowos nukewa su Kaingla liki kais sie mutunfacl suwos. Fahsru utyak nu ke pacl in nununku! Mwet su fahsr inkanek uh ac kolak ma sruloala kihl lalos, Ac pre nu sin god ma tia ku in molelosla — Mwet ingan wangin na pwaye etu lalos!
21 Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
Fahsru ac akkalemye sripa lowos ye mutun mwet nununku. Lela mwet su suk kasru in alolngoki sie sin sie. Su tuh palyeak in pacl somla ma ac sikyak uh? Ya tia nga, LEUM GOD, su molela mwet lal? Wangin god saya.
22 Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
“Mwet faclu nufon, Forma nu sik, tuh kowos in moliyukla. Nga mukena pa God — wangin pac sie saya.
23 I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
Wulela luk uh pwaye — Ac fah tiana ekla. Nga fulahk nu suwos ke Inek sifacna: Mwet nukewa fah tuku ac sikukmutunte ye mutuk, Ac wulela ku tuh elos ac pwayena nu sik.
24 They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
“Elos ac fah fahk lah suwoswos ac ku Koneyukyak yuruk mukena; A elos nukewa su srungayu fah arulana mwekin.
25 But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
Nga, LEUM GOD, fah molela fwilin tulik natul Jacob nukewa, Ac elos fah kaksakinyu.
