Isaiah 49
1 Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: YHWH has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he 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 has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
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 said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
El fahk nu sik, “Israel, kom mwet kulansap luk; Ke sripom, mwet uh ac kaksakinyu.”
4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with YHWH, and my reward 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 Now says YHWH who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of YHWH, and my God has become 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, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the remnant of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part 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 says YHWH, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of YHWH who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen 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 says YHWH, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
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 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
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 shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
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 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
“Nga fah orala soko inkanek lulap fineol uh, Ac akoela soko innek mwet luk in fufahsryesr fac.
12 Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
Mwet luk fah tuku liki acn loesla, Liki epang ac roto, Ac liki acn Aswan in acn eir.”
13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for YHWH has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
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 But Zion said, "YHWH has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."
Tusruktu mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El som liki kut! El mulkinkutla.”
15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will 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 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Jerusalem, nga tia ku in mulkinkomla! Nga simusla inem loun pouk.
17 Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.
“Elos su ac sifil musaikomyak, elos akuranna tuku, Ac elos su konauskomla ac fah som.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says YHWH, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, 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 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
“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 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may 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 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
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 says the Lord YHWH, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
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 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am YHWH; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
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 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Ya kom ku in eisla ma wap lun sie mwet mweun? Ya kom ku in usla mwet sruoh liki sie tokosra sulallal?
25 But thus says YHWH, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
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 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, YHWH, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, 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.”
