Isaiah 59
1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear;
Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El arulana munas in molikowosla, ku arulana sulohng ke kowos pang nu sel in suk kasru!
2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.
Ma koluk lowos srikowosla liki God ke kowos srike in alu nu sel. Ma koluk lowos pa oru El tia lohng kowos uh.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.
Oasr mwatan akmas, sulallal, ac kikiap lowos.
4 None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth; they trust in vanity, and speak lies, they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Kowos tiana suk inkanek pwaye ac suwohs. Ke kowos usak mwet nu in nununku, kowos lulalfongi sramsram kikiap in akwoyekowos. Kowos akfahsrye pwapa sulal lowos in akkolukye mwet ngia.
5 They hatch basilisks' eggs, and weave the spider's web; he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
Kikiap lowos uh oswela atro lun wet pwasin, ac kutena mwet su kang atro inge ac misa. Kowos fin itungya sie atro inge na soko wet sulallal ac tuku kac. Kowos orek mungangu oana pwepenu,
6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall men cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
na mungangu ingan tia ku in nukumyuk, ac tia ku in afinkowosi. Pwapa sulal lowos an wangin sripa — oana nuknuk ma orekla ke mungangu.
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, desolation and destruction are in their paths.
Pacl nukewa kowos lumahla in oru ma koluk, ac kowos salka in tari orekla. Wanginna alolo lowos in uniya mwet wangin mwata. Yen nukewa ma kowos fahsr liki, arulana yohk ma musalla we,
8 The way of peace they know not, and there is no right in their goings; they have made them crooked paths, whosoever goeth therein doth not know peace.
ac wangin mwet inse misla ke pacl kowos ac sikyak uh. Ma nukewa kowos oru uh sesuwos. Kowos fahsr ke inkanek kururu soko, ac wangin mwet su fahsr ke innek soko ingan ac fah moulla.
9 Therefore is justice far from us, neither doth righteousness overtake us; we look for light, but behold darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
Mwet uh fahk, “Inge kut etu lah efu ku God El tia molikutla lukelos su akkeokye kut. Kut finsrak ke kalem kut in fahsr kac, a lohsr mukena pa kut liye.
10 We grope for the wall like the blind, yea, as they that have no eyes do we grope; we stumble at noonday as in the twilight; we are in dark places like the dead.
Kut kahlimin acn uh oana mwet kun. Kut tukulkul ke infulwen len oana in fong, oana kut in oasr in facl lohsr lun misa.
11 We all growl like bears, and mourn sore like doves; we look for right, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Kut sangeng ac toasrla. Kut kena God Elan molikutla liki mwe keok ac tafongla, tusruktu wangin ma sikyak.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before Thee, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are present to us, and as for our iniquities, we know them:
“LEUM GOD, orekma koluk lasr ma lain kom uh puslana. Ma koluk lasr sifacna fahkkutyak. Kut arulana kalem kac nufon.
13 Transgressing and denying the LORD, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and perverseness, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Kut tuyak lain kom, siskomla, ac srunga fahsr tukum. Kut akkeokye mwet saya ac forla liki kom. Nunak lasr tafongla, ac kas lasr kikiap.
14 And justice is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth hath stumbled in the broad place, and uprightness cannot enter.
Kut sisla nununku suwohs, pwanang ma suwohs uh loesla liki kut. Ke acn in tukeni lun mwet uh ma pwaye uh tiana orekmakinyuk, ouinge wangin acn sin ma suwohs.
15 And truth is lacking, and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice;
Ke sripen sriklana ma suwohs, oru kutena mwet su tila oru ma koluk el sifacna konauk lah lainyuk el sin mwet orekma koluk.” LEUM GOD El liye ma inge, ac El arulana toasr lah suwoswos uh wanginla.
16 And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no intercessor; therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him;
El lut ke El liye lah wangin mwet in kasru mwet akkeokyeyuk. Ke ma inge El ac orekmakin ku lal sifacna in molelosla ac in eis kutangla.
17 And He put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and a helmet of salvation upon His head, and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
El fah nokomang suwoswos oana sie mwe loeyuk iniwal, ac el fah sunya lango in oana sie susu osra. El fah nokmulang ke sulela na ku lal sifacna in oakiya ma suwohs, ac in kai ac foloksak ke ma sufal ma mwet uh keok kac.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; to the islands He will repay recompense.
El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal fal nu ke ma elos oru, finne elos su muta in facl loesula.
19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; for distress will come in like a flood, which the breath of the LORD driveth.
Kutulap lac nwe roto, mwet nukewa fah sangeng sel ac ke ku lulap lal. El ac fah tuku oana soko infacl sronoti, ac oana sie eng upa ma tuhyak.
20 And a redeemer will come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga ac fah tuku nu Jerusalem in loangekowos ac moli kowos nukewa su forla liki ma koluk lowos.
21 And as for Me, this is My covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and My words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Ac nga oru wuleang se inge yuruwos: Nga sot ku luk ac mwe luti luk tuh in ma lowos nwe tok, ac ingela kowos in akosyu ac luti tulik nutuwos ac filin tulik nutuwos in akosyu ke pacl nukewa fahsru.”
