Isaiah 48

1 "Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of YHWH, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness

Porongo ma se inge, kowos mwet Israel Su ma in fwilin tulik natul Judah: Kowos fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD Ac fahk mu kowos alu nu sin God lun Israel, Tusruktu wanginna kalmen ma kowos fahk uh.

2 (for they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves on the God of Israel; YHWH of hosts is his name):

Kowos filangkin in fahk mu Kowos mwet in siti mutal sac, Ac lah kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in God lun Israel, Su Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.

3 I have declared the former things from of old; yes, they went forth out of my mouth, and I caused them to hear it. Suddenly I did them, and they happened.

LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Israel, “Oemeet nga tuh fahkak ma ac sikyak; Na in kitin pacl ah na, nga orala sikyak.

4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;

Nga nuna etu lah pwaye kowos ac mau likkeke, Upa oana osra, ac keke oana bronze.

5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, 'My idol has done them, and my engraved image, and my molten image, has commanded them.'

Ouinge nga palyeak ma ac sikyak nu suwos ke pacl loeloes somla — Nga fahkak ke ma ac orek meet liki na pacl sikyak uh, In oru kowos in tia fahk mu Ma sruloala ac mwe lemlem lowos pa oru in sikyak.

6 You have heard it; see all this; and you, will you not declare it? "I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.

“Ma nukewa nga tuh fahkak meet, liye pa sikyak tari inge. Kowos enenu in akilen lah ma nga tuh fahk ah pwayena. Inge nga ac fahk nu suwos ke ma sasu su ac fah tuku, Ke kutu ma lukma ma nga tiana fahkak meet.

7 They are created now, and not from of old; and before this day you did not hear them; lest you should say, 'Look, I knew them.'

Nga tufacna oru ma inge in sikyak; Wangin ma ouinge orek in pacl somla. Funu oasr, kowos lukun fahk mu kowos etu tari kac.

8 Yes, you did not hear; yes, you did not know; yes, from of old your ear was not opened: for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and was called a transgressor from the womb.

Nga nuna etu lah tia ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos, Mweyen eteyuk lah kowos mwet utuk nunak. Pa sis kowos tiana wi lohng ke ma inge, Ac wanginna kas kac sun insrewos.

9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for you, that I not cut you off.

“In oru tuh mwet uh in kaksakin Inek, Nga kutongya kasrkusrak luk. Nga sruokyana tuh nga in tia kunauskowosla.

10 Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

Nga srike kowos ke e lun keok, Oana ke silver uh liklikiyukla in sie funyu, Ac nga konauk lah wangin ma wo keiwos.

11 For my own sake, for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.

Ma nga oru uh nga oru ke sripuk — Nga fah tia lela Inek in pilesreyuk Ku lela kutena mwet saya in ipeis ke wolana Su fal in ma na luk, ac ma luk mukena.”

12 "Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, mwet su nga pangonak, porongeyu! Nga mukefanna pa God! Nga pa emeet ac nga pa etok!

13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens: when I call to them, they stand up together.

Pouk pa orala pwelung lun faclu Ac laknelik inkusrao. Ke nga pang nu ke faclu ac kusrao Elos sulaklak na tuku ac tu ye mutuk.

14 "Let all of them assemble and hear; who among them has declared these things? He whom YHWH loves shall perform his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

“Kowos nukewa toeni nu sie ac lipsre! Wangin sie inmasrlon god uh ku in palye Lah mwet se nga sulela uh ac fah sroang mweuni Babylon. El ac fah oru ma nga lungse elan oru.

15 I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him; I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.

Nga pa tuh kaskas ac pangnol ah; Nga kololma ac nga fah oru tuh in wo ouiyal.

16 "Come near to me and hear this: "From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I." Now YHWH has sent me, with his Spirit.

“Inge kaluku nu yuruk ac lohng ma nga fahk uh. Ke mutawauk ah me, nga kaskas kalem na, Ac oru tuh kas luk in akpwayeiyuk pacl nukewa.” (Inge LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ase ku lal nu sik ac supweyu.)

17 Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am YHWH your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

God mutal lun Israel, LEUM GOD su molikowosla, El fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos, Su lungse luti kowos ke ma ac wo nu suwos sifacna, Ac in kol kowos nu ke inkanek ma fal kowos in fahsr kac.

18 But would that you had listened to my commandments. Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

“Kowos funu lohang nu ke ma sap luk, Mwe insewowo lukun kahkma Oana soko infacl ma tia wi mihnla. Kutangla lukun tuku nu suwos Oana noa ma tok weacn uh.

19 Your descendants would have been as the sand, and the offspring of your body like its grains; his name not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.

Fwilin tulik nutuwos lukun arulana pusla oana puk uh, Ac nga lukun oru elos in tiana wi kunausyukla.”

20 Go forth from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say, YHWH has redeemed his servant Jacob.

Tufokla liki acn Babylon, som ac sukosok! Kowos in engan ac sulkakin pweng wo se inge akyokye; oru in eteyuk yen nukewa: “LEUM GOD El molela Israel, mwet kulansap lal!”

21 They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; he split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

Ke LEUM GOD El pwen mwet lal sasla sie acn fol ac pao yen mwesis, Elos tiana keok ke malu. El orala kof in tuku liki sie eot nu selos; El falngelik eot sac, ac kof uh asrma.

22 "There is no peace," says YHWH, "for the wicked."

LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
