Isaiah 49
1 Listen, O islands, to Me, And attend, O peoples, from afar, YHWH has called Me from the womb, From the bowels of My mother He has made mention of My Name.
Porongeyu, mutunfacl uh, Kowos mwet su muta loessula! Ke nga srakna oan insien nina kiuk, LEUM GOD El pangonyu ke inek, Ac srisrngiyuwi nga in mwet kulansap lal.
2 And He makes My mouth as a sharp sword, He has hid Me in the shadow of His hand, And He makes Me for a clear arrow, He has hid Me in His quiver.
El oru kas luk in kosroh oana sie cutlass. El lisringyuyak ke paol sifacna. El oreyu in oana soko sukan pisr na kosroh Ma akola in orekmakinyuk.
3 And He says to me, “You are My servant, O Israel, In whom I beautify Myself.”
El fahk nu sik, “Israel, kom mwet kulansap luk; Ke sripom, mwet uh ac kaksakinyu.”
4 And I said, “I labored in vain, I consumed my power for emptiness and vanity, But my judgment [is] with YHWH, And my wage with my God.”
Nga fahk, “Nga orekma, a wangin sripa! Nga sang ku luk nufon, a wanginna ma nga orala.” Nwe ouinge nga ku in lulalfongi LEUM GOD lah El ac loangeyu; El ac fah se ma lacne nu sik ke ma nga oru.
5 “And now,” said YHWH, who is forming Me from the belly—His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him (Though Israel is not gathered, Yet I am honored in the eyes of YHWH, And My God has been My strength).
Meet liki nga isusla, LEUM GOD El srisrngiyuwi; El oru nga in mwet kulansap lal in folokonma mwet lal, In folokonma mwet Israel su fahsrelik fin faclu. LEUM GOD El akfulatyeyu; Ku luk ma sel me.
6 And He says, “It has been a light thing That You are My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to bring back the preserved of Israel, And I have given You for a light to the nations, To be My salvation to the end of the earth.”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet kulansap luk, kom ac tia folokonak Ku lun mwet Israel su painmoulla mukena, A oasr sie kunokon yohk liki su nga akoo nu sum. Nga fah oru tuh kom in sie kalem nu sin mutunfacl puspis, Tuh faclu nufon fah ku in moulla.”
7 Thus said YHWH, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the despised in soul, To the detested of a nation, To the Servant of rulers: “Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship, For the sake of YHWH, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel, and He chooses You.”
God mutal, su Nien Molela lun Israel, El fahk nu sel su arulana pilesreyuk Ac srungayuk sin mutunfacl puspis, Ac el mwet kulansap lun mwet leum: “Tokosra uh ac fah liye ke kom taltalla, Ac fah tuyak in akkalemye sunak lalos nu sum; Fisrak uh fah oayapa liye, Ac elos fah faksufi in akfulatye kom.” Ma inge ac sikyak mweyen LEUM GOD El sulela mwet kulansap lal; God mutal lun Israel El liyaung wulela lal.
8 Thus said YHWH: “In a time of good pleasure I answered You, And in a day of salvation I helped You, And I keep You, and give You, For a covenant of the people, To establish the earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Ke pacl se ac tuku tuh nga in molikowosla, Nga fah kasrekowos ac topuk pre lowos, Nga fah karingin kowos ac lisring kowos, Ac nga fah orala sie wuleang nu sin mwet nukewa keiwos. Nga fah lela kowos in sifilpa oakwuki In facl suwos, su oan musalla in pacl inge.
9 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be uncovered. They feed on the ways, And their pasture is in all high places.
Nga fah fahk nu sin mwet kapir, ‘Kowos sukosokla! Som!’ Ac nu selos su muta in lohsr, ‘Ilme nu ke kalem uh!’ Elos ac fah oana sheep su mongo mah fin inging uh.
10 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor do mirage and sun strike them, For He who is pitying them leads them, And tends them by fountains of waters.
Elos ac fah tiana sifil masrinsral ku malu. Fulen faht yen mwesis uh fah tia akkeokyalos, Tuh elos ac fah kolyuk sin sie su lungse elos. El fah pwanulos nu ke unon in kof.
11 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My highways are lifted up.
“Nga fah orala soko inkanek lulap fineol uh, Ac akoela soko innek mwet luk in fufahsryesr fac.
12 Behold, these come in from afar, And behold, these from the north, and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim.”
Mwet luk fah tuku liki acn loesla, Liki epang ac roto, Ac liki acn Aswan in acn eir.”
13 Sing, O heavens, and rejoice, O earth, And break forth, O mountains, with singing, For YHWH has comforted His people, And He pities His afflicted ones.
On, kusrao! Sasa ke engan, faclu! Lela eol uh in wowoyak ke pusren on! LEUM GOD El fah akwoye mwet lal; El ac fah pakomuta mwet keok lal.
14 And Zion says, “YHWH has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”
Tusruktu mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El som liki kut! El mulkinkutla.”
15 “Does a woman forget her suckling, The loved one—the son of her womb? Indeed, these forget—but I do not forget you.
Na LEUM GOD El topuk ac fahk, “Ku sie mutan ku in mulkunla tulik natul ma srakna titi, Ku tia lungse tulik se ma el sifacna oswela? Nina se finne ku in mulkunla tulik natul, Nga fah tiana mulkinkowosla.
16 Behold, I have carved you on the palms of the hand, Your walls [are] continually before Me.
Jerusalem, nga tia ku in mulkinkomla! Nga simusla inem loun pouk.
17 Those building you have hurried, Those destroying you, and laying you waste, go out from you.
“Elos su ac sifil musaikomyak, elos akuranna tuku, Ac elos su konauskomla ac fah som.
18 Lift up your eyes, [look] around and see, All of them have been gathered, They have come to you. [As] I live,” a declaration of YHWH! “Surely you put on all of them as an ornament, And you bind them on like a bride.
Ngetla ac liye ma sikyak inge! Mwet lom pa fahsreni ingo — elos foloko nu yen selos! Ke pwayena lah nga pa God moul, Kom ac fah yukin mwet lom Oana sie mutan su ac marut el konkin ke mwe naweyuk lal.
19 Because your ruins, and your desolate places, And the land of your ruins, Are now surely restricted because of inhabitants, And those consuming you have been far off.
“Facl sum tuh arulana musalla ac wanginla ma fac, A inge ac arulana srikla Nu selos su ac tuku in muta we. Elos su oru kom in oan musalla uh Ac fah som loesla liki kom.
20 Again the sons of your bereavement say in your ears: The place is too narrow for me, Come near to me—and I dwell.
Sie len, mwet lom ma isusla in sruoh Fah fahk nu sum, ‘Acn se inge iktokla, Kut enenu acn yohk kut in muta we!’
21 And you have said in your heart: Who has begotten these for me? And I [am] bereaved and barren, A captive, and turned aside, And who has nourished these? Behold, I was left by myself, these—where [are] they from?”
Na kom ac fahk nu sum sifacna, “Su oswela tulik inge nukewa nu sik uh? Tulik nutik uh wanginla ac nga tia ku in sifilpa isus. Nga tuh lisyukla ac utukla nga mwet sruoh, Na su tufahla tulik inge? Tuh sisila nga ac nga mukefanna muta; Tulik inge tuku oya me?’”
22 Thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I lift up My hand to nations, And I raise up My ensign to peoples, And they have brought your sons in the bosom, And your daughters are carried on the shoulder.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk nu sin mwet lal: “Nga ac kolak sie akul nu sin mutanfahl uh, Ac elos ac kafusak tulik fusr nutuwos ac folokunulos nu yen selos.
23 And kings have been your nursing fathers, And their princesses—your nursing mothers; Face to the earth—they bow down to you, And they lick up the dust of your feet, And you have known that I [am] YHWH, That those expecting Me are not ashamed.”
Tokosra uh ac fah oana papa to se nu sum; Kasra uh ac fah oana nina to se nu sum. Elos ac faksufi ye motom ac arulana akpusiselyalos nu sum. Elos ac akfalye enenu nukewa lom. Na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD; Wangin sie mwet su tupan kasru luk fah mwekinla.”
24 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the righteous delivered?
Ya kom ku in eisla ma wap lun sie mwet mweun? Ya kom ku in usla mwet sruoh liki sie tokosra sulallal?
25 For thus said YHWH: “Even the captive of the mighty is taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And I strive with your striver, and I save your sons.
LEUM GOD El topuk, “Pa na ingan ma ac sikyak. Mwet sruoh lun mwet mweun ac fah utukla. Ac ma wap lun tokosra sulallal sac ac fah sruhu. Nga ac anwuk lainulos su anwuk nu sum, Ac nga fah molela tulik nutum.
26 And I have caused your oppressors to eat their own flesh, And they drink their own blood as new wine, And all flesh has known that I, YHWH, Your Savior, and your Redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob!”
Nga fah oru mwet akkeokye kom in uniya sie sin sie; Elos ac fah sruhi ke akmas ac kasrkusrak. Na mwet e nukewa fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD, El su molikomla ac aksukosokye kom. Elos fah etu lah nga God Kulana lun Israel.”
