Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and pious men are taken away, without one considering that before the evil the righteous is taken away.
Mwet wo uh misa, a wangin mwet nunku kaclos ku suk lah efu. Tusruktu ke elos misa tari, wangin mwe ongoiya ku in sonolos.
2 He shall come [to his fathers] in peace: they shall repose in their resting-place, every one that walketh in his uprightness.
Elos su moulkin moul wo elos konauk misla ac mongla tukun misa lalos.
3 But ye draw near hither, sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
Kowos mwet koluk, fahsru in nununkeyuk kowos! Kowos tia wo liki mwet inutnut, mwet kosro, ac mutan su lungse kukakin manolos.
4 Over whom will you make yourselves merry? concerning whom will you open wide your mouth, stretch out your tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Su kowos isrun an? Kowos mwet kikiap, su kowos yayai uh?
5 That are inflamed after the idols under every green tree; that slaughter the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
Kowos alu nu sin god lun eslap ke kowos orek kosro ye sak oal sunowos ingan. Kowos sang tulik nutuwos tuh in mwe kisa ke luf inmasrlon eot uh apkuran nu pe infacl uh.
6 Of the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, hast thou offered a meat-offering. Shall I for these things repent me [of the evil]?
Kowos eis eot fwel we, ac alu nu kac in srulun god. Kowos okoala wain ac use mwe kisa wheat in mwe sang nu selos. Ya kowos nunku mu nga insewowo ke ma inge?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain hast thou placed thy couch: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
Kowos som nu fineol fulat in orek kisa nu ke ma sruloala, ouinge kowos tia pwaye nu sik.
8 And behind the doors and the door-posts hast thou placed thy [mark of] remembrance; for [departing] from me, thou hast laid open, and art gone up, —hast enlarged thy couch, and made thee a covenant with some of them; thou hast loved their lying with thee, hast selected a fitting place.
Kowos tulokunak ma sruloala fohkfok lowos in lohm suwos sisken na mutunoa uh. Kowos sisyula. Kowos susarla ac sroang nu fin mwe oan kiowos wi mwet kawuk lowos su kowos moli in oan yuruwos. Ouinge sun lungse koluk lowos.
9 And thou didst show thyself unto the king without ointment, and thou didst multiply thy perfumes, and thou didst send out thy messengers even into the far-off distance, and didst debase thyself even down to the nether world. (Sheol h7585)
Kowos fifla ke ono keng ac mosrwekowosla ke mwe akmusra, ac som alu nu sin god Molech. Kowos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen loessula, finne nu in facl lun misa, in suk god saya in alu nu kac. (Sheol h7585)
10 Though thou art wearied by the length of thy way, yet saidst thou not, It is useless: thou hadst found enough for thy hand; therefore didst thou feel no care.
Kowos ne totolana in suk god saya ingan, a kowos tiana fuhleak. Kowos tiana munasla ke sripen kowos pangon mu ma sruloala fohkfok lowos ingan sot ku nu suwos.
11 And of whom hadst thou dread or fear, that thou becamest false, and didst not remember me, nor lay it to thy heart? is it not so? I kept silence, and this from earliest times, and therefore thou fearest me not!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su god inge ma oru kowos sangeng, pwanang kowos kikiap nu sik ac tiana esamyu? Ya kowos tila akfulatyeyu mweyen in pacl na loeloes nga misla ac tia kaskas nu suwos?
12 I, I ever tell thee [what deeds would be] thy righteousness; but thy works—these indeed will not profit thee.
Kowos nunku mu ma kowos oru an pwayena, tusruktu nga fah fahkak luman orekma koluk lowos in eteyuk, ac ma sruloala lowos ac fah tia ku in kasrekowos.
13 When thou criest, let thy masses of idols deliver thee; but all of them will the wind carry away, a breath will take them off; but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
Pacl kowos wowoyak in suk kasru, lela ma sruloala lowos ingan in molikowosla! Kitin eng na srisrik ku in okulosla! A elos su lulalfongiyu elos fah mutana in facl se inge, ac alu nu sik in Tempul luk.”
14 And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, clear out the way, lift up every stumbling block out of the way of my people.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Musai inkanek uh, ac akoela! Lela mwet luk in foloko nu yuruk. Eisla ma nukewa su kosrala inkanek lalos!
15 For thus hath said the high and lofty One, who inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy, In the high and holy place do I dwell, yet also with the contrite and humble of spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
“Nga God fulat ac mutal, su moul ma pahtpat. Nga muta in sie acn fulat ac mutal, tusruktu nga oayapa muta yurin mwet pusisel ac mwet auliyak, tuh nga in ku in aksasuye lulalfongi ac finsrak lalos.
16 For not to eternity will I contend, neither will I be for ever wroth: when the spirit from before me is overwhelmed, and the souls which I have made.
Nga sang moul nu sin mwet luk, ac nga fah tia kolla mulat luk ac amei yorolos nwe tok.
17 Because of the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and I smote him, hiding my face, and was wroth: while he went on frowardly in the way of his own heart.
Nga tuh kasrkusrak selos ke sripen ma koluk ac nunak in rapku lalos, ouinge nga tuh kalyaelos ac ngetla lukelos. Tusruktu elos likkekelana ac fahsrna ke ouiya koluk lalos.
18 I [now] see his ways, and I will heal him; and I will guide him, and bestow full comforts on him and on his mourners;
“Nga liye tari ma elos oru, tusruktu ne ouinge nga fah akkeyalosla. Nga fah kololos ac kasrelos, ac nga fah akwoyalos su tung.
19 Creating the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him that is afar off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.
Nga sang misla nu selos su muta apkuran ac oayapa elos su muta loessula! Nga fah akkeyala mwet luk.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can never be at rest, but its waters cast up mire and dirt.
Tusruktu mwet koluk elos oana noa meoa ma tia tui in sisak kutkut ac ma fohkfok nu fin acn uh.”
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
