Isaiah 44
1 Yet nowe heare, O Iaakob my seruant, and Israel, whom I haue chosen.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongo inge, Israel, mwet kulansap luk — Mwet solla luk, fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
2 Thus sayeth the Lord, that made thee, and formed thee from the wombe: he wil helpe thee. Feare not, O Iaakob, my seruaunt, and thou righteous, whome I haue chosen.
Nga LEUM GOD su orekomla; Nga nuna kasrekom oe ke kom isusla ah me. Nik kom sangeng; kom mwet kulansap luk, Mwet sulela luk su nga lungse.
3 For I will powre water vpon the thirstie, and floods vpon the drie grounde: I will powre my Spirit vpon thy seede, and my blessing vpon thy buddes.
“Nga fah sang kof nu sin acn malu Ac oru tuh infacl in soror ke acn pao. Nga fah okoaot ngunik ac mwe insewowo luk Nu fin fwilin tulik nutum.
4 And they shall grow as among the grasse, and as the willowes by the riuers of waters.
Elos ac sa in kap oana mah ma aksroksrokyeyuk wo, Oana sak willow ma kap sisken infacl ma yohk kof soror we.
5 One shall say, I am the Lordes: another shalbe called by the name of Iaakob: and another shall subscribe with his hand vnto the Lord, and name himselfe by the name of Israel.
“Mwet uh fah kais sie fahk, ‘Nga ma lun LEUM GOD.’ Elos fah tuku in weang mwet Israel. Kais sie fah simusla Inen LEUM GOD fin paol, Ac sifacna fahk mu el sie sin mwet lun God.”
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel and his redeemer, the Lord of hostes, I am the first, and I am the last, and without me is there no God.
LEUM GOD, su leumi ac karingin Israel, LEUM GOD Kulana, El fahk ouinge: “Nga pa oemeet, ac oayapa safla, ac nga God sefanna; Wangin sie pac god sayuk.
7 And who is like me, that shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order before me, since I appointed the ancient people? and what is at hand, and what things are to come? let them shewe vnto them.
Ya oasr sie sayuk su ku in oru ma nga orala tari? Su ku in palyeak ma nukewa ma sikyak Oe ke mutawauk ah me na nwe ke safla lun faclu?
8 Feare ye not, neither be afraide: haue not I tolde thee of olde, and haue declared it? you are euen my witnesses, whether there be a God beside me, and that there is no God that I knowe not.
Mwet luk, nimet sangeng! Kowos etu lah oemeet me nu inge Nga fahkak tari ma nukewa ma ac sikyak, Ac kowos mwet loh luk. Mea, oasr pac god saya? Wangin! Wangin siefanna eot ku ma nga etu kac!”
9 All they that make an image, are vanitie, and their delectable things shall nothing profite: and they are their owne witnesses, that they see not nor know: therefore they shalbe confounded.
Mwet nukewa su taflela ma sruloala uh elos mwet lusrongten, ac god ma elos akfulatye yohk uh wangin sripa. Elos su alu nu ke god inge elos mwet kun ac lalfon — ac elos ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
10 Who hath made a god, or molten an image, that is profitable for nothing?
Wanginna ma ac wo ke sie mwet el orala sie lumah ke osra, ac alu nu kac oana sie god!
11 Beholde, all that are of the fellowship thereof, shall be confounded: for the workemen themselues are men: let them all be gathered together, and stand vp, yet they shall feare, and be confounded together.
Mwet nukewa su alu nu kac ac fah akpusiselyeyuk. Mwet na pa orala ma sruloala uh. Lela elos in tuku ac tu ye nununku — elos ac fah tuninfongla, na ac fah yokna mwekinla lalos.
12 The smith taketh an instrument, and worketh in the coles, and facioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his armes: yea, he is an hungred, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Mwet orekma ke osra uh ac eis sie ipin osra ac esukla ke e. Ke po ku lal el sang sie hammer tuktukya osra uh nwe ke sikyak lumah se el nunku an. Ke el orekma, el ac masrinsralla, malula, ac totola.
13 The carpenter stretcheth out a line: he facioneth it with a red thread, he planeth it, and he purtreyeth it with the compasse, and maketh it after the figure of a man, and according to the beautie of a man that it may remaine in an house.
Mwet sroasr se ac srikeya sie sak. El makiya lumah se ma el ke orala uh ke mwe sim, supukla ke kufwen sroasr natul, ac taflela nu ke luman sie mwet na kato, ac filiya in lohm sel.
14 He will hewe him downe cedars, and take the pine tree and the oke, and taketh courage among the trees of the forest: he planteth a firre tree, and the raine doeth nourish it.
El ku in pakiya sak cedar elan orekmakin, ku sulela sak oak ku sak cypress insak uh me. Ku el ku pac in yukwiya soko sak cedar ac soano af uh in akkapyauk.
15 And man burneth thereof: for he will take thereof and warme himselfe: he also kindleth it and baketh bread, yet he maketh a god, and worshippeth it: he maketh it an idole and boweth vnto it.
Sie mwet ac orekmakin sie ip ke sak soko ah nu ke etong, ac orek ma sruloala ke sie ip uh. Sie ip uh el ac sang tanak sie e in akfusrfusryal sifacna ac um bread; ac ip se ngia el orala nu ke sie god ac alu nu kac.
16 He burneth the halfe thereof euen in the fire, and vpon the halfe thereof he eateth flesh: he rosteth the roste and is satisfied: also he warmeth himselfe and sayth, Aha, I am warme, I haue bene at the fire.
El ku in sang kutu ipinsak uh, tanak sie e; manman ikwa, ac kang nwe ke el kihpi. El akfusrfusryal sifacna ac fahk, “We, fusrfusr! Ngeng in e oh!”
17 And the residue thereof he maketh a god, euen his idole: he boweth vnto it, and worshippeth and prayeth vnto it, and sayeth, Deliuer me: for thou art my god.
Ma lula ke sak soko ah el orala nu ke sie ma sruloala, na el pasrla nwe ten ac alu nu kac. El pre nu kac ac fahk, “Kom god luk — moliyula!”
18 They haue not knowen, nor vnderstand: for God hath shut their eyes that they cannot see, and their heartes, that they cannot vnderstand.
Mwet ouinge arulana afon ac tia etu ma elos oru. Elos kaliya mutalos ac nunak lalos liki ma pwaye.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor vnderstanding to say, I haue burnt halfe of it, euen in the fire, and haue baked bread also vpon the coles thereof: I haue rosted flesh, and eaten it, and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I bowe to the stocke of a tree?
Mwet se ma orek ma sruloala uh el tia ku in nunkauk in fahk, “Kutu sak inge nga esukak. Nga um bread fin mulut uh, ac nga manman ikwa ac kangla. Ma lula ke sak soko ah nga orala nu ke ma sruloala se. Ac inge, nga pasrla nu ke sie polosak!”
20 He feedeth of ashes: a seduced heart hath deceiued him, that he cannot deliuer his soule, nor say, Is there not a lye in my right hand?
Ke el oru ouinge uh, oana elan mongo apat. Nunak lalfon lal uh aktafongyella, oru upa in kasreyuk el. El tia ku in sifacna fahk lah ma sruloala se el sruok inpaol uh tia god se.
21 Remember these (O Iaakob and Israel) for thou art my seruant: I haue formed thee: thou art my seruant: O Israel forget me not.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, esam ma se inge; Esam lah kom mwet kulansap luk. Nga orekomla tuh in mwet kulansap luk, Ac nga fah tiana mulkinkomla.
22 I haue put away thy transgressions like a cloude, and thy sinnes, as a mist: turne vnto me, for I haue redeemed thee.
Nga pokla tari ma koluk lom, oana ke eng uh okla pukunyeng uh. Foloko nu yuruk; nga pa molikomla uh.”
23 Reioyce, ye heauens: for the Lord hath done it: shoute, ye lower partes of the earth: brast foorth into prayses, ye mountaines, O forest and euery tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob and will be glorified in Israel.
Sasa ke engan, O kowos kusrao! Sala, kowos acn loal faclu! Sasa ke engan, kowos eol ac sak nukewa insak uh! LEUM GOD El fahkak fulat lal Ke El molela Israel, mwet lal.
24 Thus sayeth the Lord thy redeemer and he that formed thee from the wombe, I am the Lord, that made all things, that spred out the heauens alone, and stretched out the earth by my selfe.
“Nga pa LEUM GOD, su langoekomla. Nga pa orekomla uh, Nga LEUM GOD, su orala ma nukewa. Nga mukena pa asroelik kusrao. Ke nga tuh orala faclu, wangin mwet kasreyu.
25 I destroy the tokens of ye southsayers, and make them that coniecture, fooles, and turne the wise men backwarde, and make their knowledge foolishnesse.
Nga oru mwet susfa uh in oana mwet lalfon, Ac aklusrongtenye ma mwet tuni acn engyeng uh palye. Nga lain kas lun mwet lalmwetmet, Ac nga akkalemye lah lalmwetmet lalos uh ma lalfon.
26 He confirmeth the worde of his seruant and performeth the counsell of his messengers, saying to Ierusalem, Thou shalt bee inhabited: and to the cities of Iudah, Yee shall be built vp, and I will repayre the decayed places thereof.
A ke pacl mwet kulansap luk oru palu lal, Ac ke nga supwala sie mwet utuk kas in akkalemye lemlem luk, Nga oru tuh lemlem ac palu ingan in akpwayeiyuk. Nga fahk nu sin Jerusalem lah mwet ac fah sifilpa muta we, Ac nu sin siti in acn Judah lah ac sifilpa musaiyuk. Acn ma sikiyukla ingan, siti ac fah sifilpa tulokyak we.
27 He saith to the deepe, Be drye and I will drye vp thy floods.
Ke sie kas in sap ku luk, nga akpaoyela meoa.
28 He saith to Cyrus, Thou art my shepheard: and he shall performe all my desire: saying also to Ierusalem, Thou shalt be built: and to the Temple, Thy foundation shall be surely layed.
Nga fahk nu sel Cyrus, ‘Kom ac fah aolyu in leumi mwet luk, Ac kom fah oru ma nga lungse kom in oru: Kom fah sapkin Jerusalem in sifil musaiyukla Ac pwelung in Tempul in oakwuki.’”
