< Isaiah 58 >

1 “Call with the throat, do not restrain, lift up your voice as a horn, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wowoyak ke kuiyom nufon! Fahk nu sin mwet luk mwet Israel ke ma koluk lalos!
2 They seek Me day by day, And they desire the knowledge of My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness, And has not forsaken the judgment of its God, They ask of Me judgments of righteousness, They desire the drawing near of God:
Elos alu nu sik len nukewa, ac fahk mu elos kena etu mwe luti luk ac in akos ma sap luk. Elos fahk mu elos lungse nga in sang nu selos ma sap suwohs, ac elos insewowo na in alu nu sik.”
3 Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and You do not know. Behold, you find pleasure in the day of your fast, And exact all your laborers.
Mwet uh siyuk, “Efu ku kut in lalo LEUM GOD El fin tiana liye? Mwe mea kut in tia mongo El fin tia lohma nu sesr?” LEUM GOD El fahk nu selos, “Mweyen ke pacl kowos lalo uh, kowos oru na lungse lowos sifacna, ac kowos akkohsye mwet orekma lowos.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and debate, And to strike with the fist of wickedness, You do not fast as [this] day, To sound your voice in the high place.
Lalo lowos uh oru kowos in mongsa, na kowos akukuin ac anwuk. Ya kowos nunku mu nga ac lohng pre lowos ke lalo ouinge?
5 Is this like the fast that I choose? The day of a man’s afflicting his soul? To bow his head as a reed, And spread out sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, And a desirable day—to YHWH?
Pacl kowos lalo, kowos sifacna oru kowos in keok. Kowos suwoli nwe ten oana soko loa kuruweni, ac kowos laknelik nuknuk yohk eoa ac sang apat nu fac kowos in ona fac. Ya kowos pangon mu pa ingan lalo uh? Ya kowos nunku mu nga engankin?
6 Is this not the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And draw off every yoke?
“Kain lalo se ma nga lungse uh pa inge: tulalosla su kapir ke nununku sesuwos, ac aksukosokye mwet su kowos akkeokye.
7 Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, And bring home the wandering poor, That you see the naked and cover him, And do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Sang mongo nun mwet masrinsral, ac usak mwet sukasrup ma wangin lohm se nu in lohm suwos. Sang nuknuk nu sin mwet su enenu nuknuk, ac tia srangesr in kasru mwet in sou lowos sifacna.
8 Then your light breaks forth as the dawn, And your health springs up in haste, Your righteousness has gone before you, The glory of YHWH gathers you.
“Na kulang luk fah tolkowosyak oana kalmen faht in lotutang, ac kinet keiwos ac fah sa in mahla. Nga fah wi kowos pacl nukewa in moli kowos. Ac nga fah loangekowos yen nukewa.
9 Then you call, and YHWH answers, You cry, and He says, Behold Me. If you turn aside the yoke from your midst, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity,
Pacl kowos pre, nga fah topuk kowos. Pacl kowos pang nu sik, nga fah lohng kowos. “Kowos fin tulokinya ma upa kowos sang akkeokye mwet, ac tia sifil aklusrongtenye mwet, ku fahk kas in pirakak lain mwet,
10 And bring out your soul to the hungry, And satisfy the afflicted soul, Then your light has risen in the darkness, And your thick darkness [is] as noon.
ac kowos fin kite mwet masrinsral, ac kasrelos su muta in enenu, na lohsr su apinkowosla fah ekla oana kalmen faht ke infulwen len.
11 And YHWH continually leads you, And has satisfied your soul in drought, And He arms your bones, And you have been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters do not lie.
Na nga fah kol kowos pacl nukewa, ac akfalye mwe enenu lowos ke kowos fahsr yen mwesis. Nga fah akkeye kowos ac oru kowos in ku na. Kowos ac fah oana sie ima yohk kof we, oana sie unon in kof ma tiana mihnla.
12 And they have built the ancient ruins from you, You raise up the foundations of many generations, And one calls you, Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.
Mwet lowos fah sifil musaela lohm ma musalla pacl na loeloes. Musa sacn ac orek fin pwelung meet ah. Ac fah eteyuk mu kowos mwet su sifilpa musaeak pot lun siti uh, ac sifil tulokunak lohm ma tuh musalla ah.”
13 If you turn your foot from the Sabbath, [From] doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And have cried to the Sabbath, A delight, To the holy of YHWH, Honored, And have honored it, without doing your own ways, Without finding your own pleasure, And speaking a word.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kowos fin oru len Sabbath in sie len mutal, ac tia ukwe lungse lowos sifacna ke len sac; kowos fin saokkin len mutal luk, ac akfulatye ke kowos tia fufahsryesr loes, ku orekma, ac tia fahk kas lusrongten ke len sac,
14 Then you delight yourself on YHWH, And I have caused you to ride on high places of earth, And have caused you to eat the inheritance of your father Jacob, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken!”
na kowos ac fah pulakin insewowo ke sripen kowos kulansupweyu. Nga ac fah oru mwet in mutunfacl nukewa in akfulatye kowos, ac kowos ac fah usrui facl se su nga tuh sang nu sel Jacob, papa matu tomowos. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
