Isaiah 49
1 Hearken, ye Coastlands, unto me, And give ear ye peoples afar off, —Yahweh, called me, from my birth, From my nativity, made he 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 made my mouth, like a sharp sword, In the shadow of his hand, he concealed me, —And made of me a polished arrow, In his quiver, he hid me;
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 said to me My Servant, thou art, —Israel, in whom I will get myself glory.
El fahk nu sik, “Israel, kom mwet kulansap luk; Ke sripom, mwet uh ac kaksakinyu.”
4 But I, said, To no purpose, have I toiled, For waste and mist—my vigour, have I spent, —Surely, my vindication, is, with, Yahweh, And, my recompence, 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, therefore, said Yahweh—Fashioning me from birth To be Servant to him, To restore Jacob unto him, And that, Israel, unto him, might be gathered And I be honourable in the eyes of Yahweh, And, my God, be proved to have 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 Yea he said—It is too small a thing, for being my Servant, That thou shouldest raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel, shouldst restore, —So I will give thee to become a light of nations, That, my salvation, may reach as far as 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, saith Yahweh—the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One To him that is despised of the soul, To the abhorred of the nation To the servant of rulers, Kings, shall see and arise, Princes, lo! they have bowed themselves down, —Because of Yahweh, who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel, lo! he hath chosen thee.
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, saith Yahweh—In a time of acceptance, have I answered thee, In a day of salvation, have I helped thee, —That I may preserve thee And give thee as the covenant of a people, To establish the land, To bring into possession the desolate heritages;
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 them who are bound Go forth, To them who are in darkness, Shew yourselves, —By the roads, shall they graze, And on all bare places, 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 neither hunger, nor thirst, Nor shall smite them the glowing sand, or the glaring sun, —For, he that hath compassion upon them, will lead them, And unto springs of water, will he conduct 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 Then will I make of all my mountains, a road, And my highways, shall be upraised.
“Nga fah orala soko inkanek lulap fineol uh, Ac akoela soko innek mwet luk in fufahsryesr fac.
12 Lo! these, from afar, shall come in, —And lo! these, from the North and from the West, 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 Shout in triumph—O heavens! And exult—O earth! And break forth, ye mountains, into shouts of triumph, —For Yahweh hath comforted his people, And on his humbled ones, taketh he compassion.
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 had said. Yahweh hath forsaken me, —Even, My Lord, hath forgotten me!
Tusruktu mwet Jerusalem elos fahk, “LEUM GOD El som liki kut! El mulkinkutla.”
15 Can, a woman, forget, her sucking child, Past taking compassion on the son of her womb? Even these, may forget, Yet will, I, not forget, thee:
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 Lo! on the palms of my hands, have I portrayed thee, —Thy walls are before me continually.
Jerusalem, nga tia ku in mulkinkomla! Nga simusla inem loun pouk.
17 In haste are thy sons, —They who have been tearing thee down and laying thee waste, out of thee, let them go forth!
“Elos su ac sifil musaikomyak, elos akuranna tuku, Ac elos su konauskomla ac fah som.
18 Lift up, round about, thine eyes and see, All those, have gathered themselves together—have come to thee! As I live, Declareth Yahweh, —Surely all those as an ornament, shalt thou put on, And bind them about thee for a girdle as 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 Surely, as for thy wastes, and thy desolations, and thy land of ruins, Surely, now, shalt thou be too strait for thine inhabitants, And, far off, shall be they who have been swallowing thee up.
“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 whom thou wast bereaved shall yet say in thine ears, —Too strait for me, is the place Make room for me that I may settle down.
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 shalt thou say in thy heart, —Who hath borne me, these, Seeing, I, have been bereaved and unfruitful, a captive and banished? These, therefore, who hath brought them up? Lo! 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, saith My Lord, Yahweh—Lo! I will lift up, unto nations my hand, Yea unto peoples, will I raise high my banner, —And they shall bring in thy sons in their bosom, And, thy daughters, on the shoulder shall be borne;
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, shall be, thy foster-fathers. And their queens, thy nursing mothers, With face to the ground, shall they bow down to thee, The dust of thy feet, shall they lick, —So shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh, In that, they shall not be put to shame, Who were waiting for me.
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 prey, be taken from a mighty one? Or the captive of one in the right, 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 Surely, thus, saith Yahweh—Even the captive of the mighty one, shall be taken away, And the prey of the tyrant, be delivered; And thine opposers, I, will oppose, And thy children, I, will save;
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 Then will I feed thy tormentors with their own flesh, And as with new wine—with their own blood, shall they be drunk, —So shall all flesh, know, that, I—Yahweh, am thy Saviour, And, thy Redeemer, is 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.”
