Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongo inge, Israel, mwet kulansap luk — Mwet solla luk, fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
2 Thus saith Yhwh that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have 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 pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
“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 spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
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 Yhwh's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto Yhwh, and surname himself 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 Yhwh the King of Israel, and his redeemer Yhwh of Armies; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is 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, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto 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 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
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 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
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 formed a god, or molten a graven 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 Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed 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 with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, 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 his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the 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 heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth 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 Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
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 part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen 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, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver 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 have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
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 understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock 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 on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie 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 Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
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 have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Nga pokla tari ma koluk lom, oana ke eng uh okla pukunyeng uh. Foloko nu yuruk; nga pa molikomla uh.”
23 Sing, O ye heavens; for Yhwh hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for Yhwh hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself 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 saith Yhwh, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am Yhwh that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
“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 That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
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 That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up 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 That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
Ke sie kas in sap ku luk, nga akpaoyela meoa.
28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
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.’”
