< Isaiah 43 >
1 And now, thus said YHWH, Your Creator, O Jacob, and your Fashioner, O Israel: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you, I have called on your name—you [are] Mine.
Israel, LEUM GOD su orekomla El fahk, “Nimet sangeng — nga molikomla tari. Nga pangon kom ke inem — ac kom ma luk.
2 When you pass into waters, I [am] with you, And into floods, they do not overflow you, When you go into fire, you are not burned, And a flame does not burn against you.
Ke kom fahsr sasla in kof loal uh, nga fah wi kom, Ac ke kom fahsr sasla infacl uh, kof uh fah tia afinkomla. Pacl kom fahsr sasla in e uh, kom fah tia folla. Ac kosran e uh fah tia isikkomyak.
3 For I—your God YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior, I have appointed Egypt your atonement, Cush and Seba in your stead.
Tuh nga LEUM GOD lom, God mutal lun Israel, su molikomla. Nga aksukosokyekomla, ac nga sang acn Egypt, Ethiopia ac Seba in molikomla.
4 Since you were precious in My eyes, You were honored, and I have loved you, And I appoint men in your stead, And peoples instead of your life.
Nga fuhleak mutunfacl puspis in molela moul lom, Mweyen kom saok sik Ac mweyen nga lungse kom ac akfulatye kom.
5 Do not be afraid, for I [am] with you, I bring in your seed from the east, And I gather you from the west.
Nimet sangeng — nga wi kom! “Liki acn loesla nu kutulap ac roto, Nga ac folokonma mwet lom nu yen selos.
6 I am saying to the north, “Give up,” And to the south, “Do not restrain.” Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters from the end of the earth.
Nga ac fahk nu sin acn epang in fuhlelosla, Ac nu sin acn eir in tia sruokolos. Lela mwet luk in foloko liki fahl loessula, Liki acn nukewa fin faclu.
7 Everyone who is called by My Name, Even for My glory I have created him, I have formed him, indeed, I have made him.
Elos mwet luk, Ac nga oralosla in akyokye wolana luk.”
8 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones who have ears.
God El fahk, “Pangoneni mwet luk nu in nien nununku. Oasr mutalos, tusruktu elos tia liye; Oasr sraclos, a elos tia lohng!
9 All the nations have been gathered together, And the peoples are assembled, Who among them declares this, And causes us to hear former things? They give their witnesses, And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say, “Truth.”
Pangon mutunfacl uh in tuku nu ke nununku. Ya ma sruloala lalos ku in palye ma ac sikyak ke pacl fahsru? Su selos fahkak meet ma sikyak in pacl inge? Elos in sifacna use mwet loh lalos In tuh akpwayei kas lalos, Ac in akkeye ma elos fahk an.
10 You [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And My servant whom I have chosen, So that you know and give credence to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no God formed, And after Me there is none.
“Mwet Israel, kowos mwet loh luk; Nga sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet kulansap luk, Ac tuh kowos in eteyu ac lulalfongiyu, Ac kowos in kalem kac lah nga God sefanna. Wangin pac sie god sayuk; Nuna wangin oemeet me — ac fah wangin pac nwe tok.
11 I [am] YHWH, And besides Me there is no savior.
“Nga mukena pa LEUM GOD, Nga mukena pa ku in molikowosla.
12 I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is no stranger with you, And you [are] My witnesses, a declaration of YHWH, And I [am] God.
Nga tuh fahkak meet ma ac fah sikyak, Na nga tuku in kasrekowos. Wangin god lun mutunfacl saya nu oru ouiya inge; Kowos mwet loh luk.
13 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer from My hand, I work, and who turns it back?
Nga pa God, inge ac nwe tok. Wangin mwet ku in kaingla liki ku luk; Ac wangin mwet ku in ekulla ma nga oru.”
14 Thus said YHWH, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I have sent to Babylon for your sake, And caused bars to descend—all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in the ships.
God mutal lun Israel, LEUM GOD su molikowosla, El fahk, “Ke sripowos, nga fah supwala sie un mwet mweun in lain acn Babylon. Nga fah kunausla mutunpot lun siti we. Pusren sasa in engan lun mwet we fah ekla nu ke pusren tung.
15 I [am] YHWH, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your King.”
Nga LEUM GOD, God mutal lowos. Nga orekowosla, mwet Israel, ac nga tokosra lowos.”
16 Thus said YHWH, Who is giving a way in the sea, And a path in the strong waters.
LEUM GOD El tuh orala innek soko sasla in meoa uh, Soko inkanek ma sasla in kof lulap.
17 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a strong one: “They lie down together—they do not rise, They have been extinguished, They have been quenched as flax.”
El kolla sie un mwet mweun kulana nu ke ongoiya, Un chariot ac horse puspis Elos putatla, ac tiana ku in sifil tuyak. Moul lalos wanginla, oana firir lun sie lam ma kuniyukla!
18 Do not remember former things, And do not consider ancient things.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nimet sripsripla nu ke ma sikyak in pacl somla, Ku sruokyana ma sikyak meet ah.
19 Behold, I am doing a new thing, now it springs up, Do you not know it? Indeed, I put a way in a wilderness, In a desolate place—floods.
Tupanang ma na sasu se nga ac oru. Mutawauk tari — kowos ku in liye inge. Nga ac oru soko inkanek sasla yen mwesis, Ac orala in oasr infacl in acn musrasra.
20 The beast of the field honors Me, Dragons and daughters of an ostrich, For I have given waters in a wilderness, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people—My chosen.
Kosro lemnak uh ac fah akfulatyeyu; Jackal ac ostrich fah kaksakinyu Ke nga fah oru infacl uh in soror yen mwesis In sang kof nu sin mwet solla luk.
21 I have formed this people for Myself, They recount My praise.
Elos inge nga orala in ma na luk, Ac elos fah yuk on in kaksak nu sik!”
22 And you have not called Me, O Jacob, For you have been wearied of Me, O Israel,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tusruktu, Israel, kom totola sik Ac tiana alu nu sik.
23 You have not brought to Me, The lamb of your burnt-offerings, And [with] your sacrifices you have not honored Me, I have not caused you to serve with a present, Nor wearied you with frankincense.
Kom tia use sheep nutum in mwe kisa firir lom nu sik. Kom tia akfulatyeyu ke mwe kisa lom. Nga tiana akkohsye kom in sapkin ke mwe sang, Ku aktotoye kom ke nga siyuk mwe keng sum.
24 You have not bought Me sweet cane with money, And have not filled Me [with] the fat of your sacrifices, Only—you have caused Me to serve with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Kom tia moli mwe keng nu sik Ac tia pac akenganyeyu ke kiris ke kosro nutum. A kom aktoasryeyu ke orekma koluk lom; Kom aktotoyeyu ke ma sutuu ma kom orala.
25 I [am] He who is blotting out Your transgressions for My own sake, And I do not remember your sins.
Ne ouinge, nga pa God se su eela ma koluk lom, Ac nga oru ouinge mweyen nga pa God. Nga fah tia esam ma koluk lom.
26 Cause Me to remember—we are judged together, Declare that you may be justified.
“Fahsru kut som nu ke acn in nununku. Srukak mwe tukak lom! Fahkak sripa nukewa lom in akpwayei lah kom pa suwohs uh!
27 Your first father sinned, And your interpreters transgressed against Me,
Papa matu tomom oemeet ah el orekma koluk, Mwet kol lom elos orekma koluk lainyu,
28 And I defile princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob to destruction, and Israel to revilings!
Ac mwet leum lom aktaekyala acn mutal sik. Ouinge nga kunausla acn Israel; Ac nga lela tuh in aklusrongtenyeyuk mwet luk.”
