Isaiah 65
1 I let myself be consulted by people who weren't even asking me questions; I let myself be found by people who weren't even looking for me. To a nation that wasn't even calling for me, I said, “I'm here, I'm here!”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga tuh akola in topuk pre lun mwet luk, a elos tiana pre. Nga tuh akola elos in koneyuyak, a elos tiana srike in sukyu. Mutanfahl se inge tiana pre nu sik, nga finne akola pacl nukewa in topkolos, ‘Nga pa inge; nga fah kasrekowos.’
2 I spread out my hands all day long, pleading with a stubborn people who follow bad ways, doing whatever they choose.
Nga akola pacl nukewa in paing mwet luk, su likkekelana in oru ma sutuu ac fahsr ke inkanek lalos sifacna.
3 These people are always making me angry, because they present sacrifices to idols in their sacred gardens, and offer incense on pagan altars made of brick.
Elos tiana mwekin in akkasrkusrakyeyu pacl nukewa. Elos oru mwe kisa nu ke ma sruloala in ima oal lalos, ac furreak mwe keng fin loang lun mwet pegan.
4 They spend the night among the graves and in caves, eating pork and cooking other unclean meats.
Ke fong uh elos som nu in luf ac nu ke kulyuk, in lolngok yurin ngunin mwet misa. Elos kang ikwen pig ac nim sronin ikwa ma kisakinyuk ke ouiya lun mwet pegan.
5 They tell others, “Keep your distance! Don't come close to me as I'm too holy to be touched by you!” These people are like smoke in my nostrils, a stink burning all day long!
Na elos fahk nu sin mwet ngia, ‘Nimet kaluku nu yorosr. Kut mutallana, ac sufal kowos in pusral kut.’ Nga koflana muteng kain mwet ouingan — kasrkusrak luk kaclos oana sie e na ngeng ma tia ku in kunla.
6 Look—it's all written down right in front of me! I'm not going to keep quiet. I'm going to pay them back by throwing their punishment into their laps.
“Nga nunkala tari kalya ma fal nu selos, ac simla pac tari ma ac orek nu selos. Nga fah tia likinsai ma elos orala tari, a nga ac fah folokin nu selos
7 I'm going to pay you back for both your own sins and the sins of your forefathers, says the Lord, because they burned incense on the mountains and ridiculed me on the hills. I'm going to measure into their laps full payment for what they've done.
fal nu ke ma koluk lalos ac oayapa ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos. Elos esukak mwe keng fin inging uh ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac fahk kas koluk keik. Ouinge nga fah kaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk lalos.”
8 This is what the Lord says: It's like when there's a bit of juice left in a bunch of grapes and people say, “Don't get rid of it all; there's still some good in it,” I'll do the same for my servants—I won't destroy them all.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin mwet sisla ung in grape fon se, a elos ac srela ma wo kac in orekmakin nu ke wain. Ouinge nga fah tia pac kunausla mwet luk nukewa — nga ac molela mwet su kulansupweyu.
9 I will make sure Jacob has descendants, and people from Judah who can take ownership of my mountain. My chosen ones, my servants, will own the land and live there.
Nga ac fah akinsewowoye mwet Israel su ma in sruf lun Judah, ac fwilin tulik natulos fah usrui acn sik in eol uh. Mwet solla luk su kulansupweyu fah muta we.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to rest, for my people who follow me.
Elos fah alu nu sik, ac fah pwen sheep ac cow natulos nu insroan mah in acn Tupasrpasr lun Sharon layen nu roto, ac nu Infahlfal in Ongoiya layen nu kutulap.
11 But those of you who desert the Lord and forget about my holy mountain, who prepare feasts for the god of good luck, who fill jugs of mixed wine for the god of destiny,
“Tusruktu ac fah tia ouinge nu suwos su ngetla likiyu ac mulkunla Zion, eol mutal sik, ac alu nu sel Gad — god lun wo ouiya, ac nu sel Meni — god lun ongoiya.
12 I will make sure your destiny is to be killed by the sword. All of you will bow down to be slaughtered, because I called out to you but you didn't answer; I spoke to you, but you didn't listen. Instead you did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
Ac fah koluk ouiya nu suwos ac kowos ac anwuki ke cutlass, mweyen kowos tia topuk ke pacl nga pangon kowos, ku porongo ke pacl nga kaskas. Kowos sulela in seakosyu ac oru ma koluk.
13 So this is what the Lord says, My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will celebrate, but you will feel ashamed.
Ouinge nga fahk nu suwos lah elos su alu nu sik ac akosyu fah pukanten mwe mongo nalos ac mwe nim nimalos, a kowos fah masrinsral ac malu. Elos ac fah engan, a kowos ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
14 Listen! My servants will shout because they're so happy inside, but you will cry out in deepest pain, howling because your spirit is broken.
Elos ac fah on ke engan, a kowos ac tung ke asor ac toasr.
15 Your name will only be used as a curse by my chosen ones, for the Lord God will kill you and give his servants another name.
Inewos fah sie kas in selnga lun mwet solla luk. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fah lela in anwuki kowos. Tusruktu nga fah sang sie ine sasu nu selos su akosyu.
16 Whoever asks a blessing or takes an oath in the land will do so by the one true God, for I have forgotten the troubles of the past—I don't look on them anymore.
Kutena mwet in facl se inge su siyuk in akinsewowoyeyuk el, fah siyuk mwe insewowo sin God lun ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su orala kas in fulahk ku lal, fah oru ke Inen God lun ma pwaye. Ma koluk nukewa ke pacl somla ac fah wanginla ac mulkinyukla.”
17 Look! I'm going to create new heavens and a new earth. The former things won't be remembered—they won't cross anyone's mind!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga orala kusrao sasu ac sie fahlu sasu. Ma meet ah ac fah mulkinyukla.
18 Be glad, and be happy forever and ever in what I'm going to create, for I will make Jerusalem a delightful place, and its people a real joy.
Kowos in engan ac insewowo nwe tok ke ma nga oru inge. Jerusalem sasu ma nga ac oru ac fah sessesla ke engan, ac mwet we ac fah insewowo.
19 I will be so happy over Jerusalem; I will celebrate among my people. The sound of weeping and cries for help won't ever be heard there again.
Nga sifacna fah arulana enganak ke Jerusalem ac mwet we. Ac fah wangin pusren tung ac asor we.
20 No babies will die after just a few days, and no adults will die without having lived a long life. Those who reach a hundred will be thought of as just a child, and anyone who doesn't reach a hundred will be seen as being under a curse.
Tulik srisrik ac fah tia sifilpa misa ke srakna fusr, ac mwet nukewa ac fah loes moul lalos. Elos su moul nwe sun yac siofok ac fah liyeyuk mu elos srakna fusr. Mwet se fin misa meet liki pacl sacn, ac fah sie akul lah nga kalyaelos.
21 They will build houses and live in them; they will eat the fruit of the vineyards they themselves planted.
Elos fah musai lohm ac muta loac; elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac kang fahko kac.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to live in; no longer will they plant for others to eat. For my people will live as long as trees do; my chosen ones will live long enough to enjoy all they've worked for.
Elos ac tia musai na kutepacna mwet muta loac. Elos ac tia yukwi ima in grape na kutepacna mwet nim wain kac. Tuh mwet luk fah moul paht, oana lusen moul lun sak uh. Elos ac arulana engankin fokin orekma lalos.
23 They won't work for nothing, and they won't have children destined for disaster. For they are people living under the blessing of the Lord, and their children will be too.
Orekma elos oru ac fah wo ouiya, ac tulik natulos fah tia sun ongoiya. Nga fah akinsewowoyalos ac fwilin tulik natulos nwe tok.
24 I will reply even before they ask me. While they are still speaking, I will answer them!
Meet liki safla pre lalos nu sik, nga ac topuk mwe siyuk lalos.
25 The wolf and the lamb will eat together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The snakes will eat dust. Nothing will cause any harm or damage anywhere on my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord in the same way that water fills the sea.
Kosro wolf ac sheep fusr ac fah tukeni mongo. Lion uh ac fah mongo mah oana cow uh, ac wet pwasin ac fah tia sifil sensenkinyuk. Fineol Zion, eol mutal sik, ac fah wangin kutena mwe ngal ku ma koluk we.”
