< Isaiah 59 >
1 Lo! the hand of Yahweh is not too short to save, —Neither is his ear too heavy to hear.
Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El arulana munas in molikowosla, ku arulana sulohng ke kowos pang nu sel in suk kasru!
2 But, your iniquities, have become separators betwixt you and your God, And your sins, have caused a hiding of face from you that he should-not hear.
Ma koluk lowos srikowosla liki God ke kowos srike in alu nu sel. Ma koluk lowos pa oru El tia lohng kowos uh.
3 For, your hands, are defiled with blood, And, your fingers, with iniquity, —Your lips, have spoken falsehood, and Your tongue, muttereth, perversity.
Oasr mwatan akmas, sulallal, ac kikiap lowos.
4 None, sueth in righteousness, and None, pleadeth in faithfulness, —Men are trusting in confusion, And speaking vanity, Conceiving wickedness And bringing forth iniquity:
Kowos tiana suk inkanek pwaye ac suwohs. Ke kowos usak mwet nu in nununku, kowos lulalfongi sramsram kikiap in akwoyekowos. Kowos akfahsrye pwapa sulal lowos in akkolukye mwet ngia.
5 Viper’s eggs, do they hatch, Spider’s threads, do they weave, —He that eateth of their eggs, dieth, And, that which is crushed, bringeth forth an adder;
Kikiap lowos uh oswela atro lun wet pwasin, ac kutena mwet su kang atro inge ac misa. Kowos fin itungya sie atro inge na soko wet sulallal ac tuku kac. Kowos orek mungangu oana pwepenu,
6 Their threads, shall not become a garment, Neither shall they cover themselves with their fabrics, —Their fabrics, are fabrics of iniquity, Yea the product of violence is in their hands;
na mungangu ingan tia ku in nukumyuk, ac tia ku in afinkowosi. Pwapa sulal lowos an wangin sripa — oana nuknuk ma orekla ke mungangu.
7 Their feet, to mischief, do run, And they speed to shed innocent blood, —Their devices, are devices of iniquity, Wasting and destruction, are in their high roads;
Pacl nukewa kowos lumahla in oru ma koluk, ac kowos salka in tari orekla. Wanginna alolo lowos in uniya mwet wangin mwata. Yen nukewa ma kowos fahsr liki, arulana yohk ma musalla we,
8 the way of well-being, have they not known, And there is no justice in their tracks, —Their paths, have they made crooked for themselves, None who treadeth therein knoweth well—being.
ac wangin mwet inse misla ke pacl kowos ac sikyak uh. Ma nukewa kowos oru uh sesuwos. Kowos fahsr ke inkanek kururu soko, ac wangin mwet su fahsr ke innek soko ingan ac fah moulla.
9 For this cause, hath justice removed far from us, And righteousness overtaketh us not, —We wait for light, But lo! darkness, For brightness, In thick darkness, we walk:
Mwet uh fahk, “Inge kut etu lah efu ku God El tia molikutla lukelos su akkeokye kut. Kut finsrak ke kalem kut in fahsr kac, a lohsr mukena pa kut liye.
10 We grope, as blind men for a wall, Yea, as men without eyes, do we grope, —We have stumbled at broad noon as though it were twilight, In desolate places like the dead!
Kut kahlimin acn uh oana mwet kun. Kut tukulkul ke infulwen len oana in fong, oana kut in oasr in facl lohsr lun misa.
11 We growl like bears all of us, And, like doves, do we, mournfully coo, —We wait For justice, and there is none, For salvation it is far from us!
Kut sangeng ac toasrla. Kut kena God Elan molikutla liki mwe keok ac tafongla, tusruktu wangin ma sikyak.
12 For our transgressions have multiplied before thee, And, our sins, have witnessed against us, —For, our transgressions, are with us, And as for our iniquities, we acknowledge them:
“LEUM GOD, orekma koluk lasr ma lain kom uh puslana. Ma koluk lasr sifacna fahkkutyak. Kut arulana kalem kac nufon.
13 Transgressing, and denying Yahweh, And turning away from following our God, —Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving, and muttering from the heart, words of falsehood.
Kut tuyak lain kom, siskomla, ac srunga fahsr tukum. Kut akkeokye mwet saya ac forla liki kom. Nunak lasr tafongla, ac kas lasr kikiap.
14 So then there hath been a driving back of justice, And righteousness, afar off, standeth, —For truth, hath stumbled in the broad-way, And, right, cannot enter;
Kut sisla nununku suwohs, pwanang ma suwohs uh loesla liki kut. Ke acn in tukeni lun mwet uh ma pwaye uh tiana orekmakinyuk, ouinge wangin acn sin ma suwohs.
15 And the truth hath been found missing, And he that hath turned away from wrong is liable to be despoiled, And when, Yahweh, looked, Then was it grievous in his eyes that there was no justice:
Ke sripen sriklana ma suwohs, oru kutena mwet su tila oru ma koluk el sifacna konauk lah lainyuk el sin mwet orekma koluk.” LEUM GOD El liye ma inge, ac El arulana toasr lah suwoswos uh wanginla.
16 When he saw that there was no mighty man, Then was he astonished that there was none to interpose, —So his own arm brought him salvation, And his own righteousness, the same, upheld him;
El lut ke El liye lah wangin mwet in kasru mwet akkeokyeyuk. Ke ma inge El ac orekmakin ku lal sifacna in molelosla ac in eis kutangla.
17 And he put on Righteousness as a coat of mail, And a helmet of victory upon his head, —And he put on the garments of avenging, for clothing, And wrapped about him as a cloak—jealousy,
El fah nokomang suwoswos oana sie mwe loeyuk iniwal, ac el fah sunya lango in oana sie susu osra. El fah nokmulang ke sulela na ku lal sifacna in oakiya ma suwohs, ac in kai ac foloksak ke ma sufal ma mwet uh keok kac.
18 According to their deeds, accordingly, will he repay, Indignation to his adversaries, Recompense to his enemies, —To the Coastlands—recompense, will he repay:
El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal fal nu ke ma elos oru, finne elos su muta in facl loesula.
19 That they may revere—From the West the name of Yahweh, And from the Rising of the Sun his glory, For he will come in like a rushing stream, the breath of Yahweh, driving it on;
Kutulap lac nwe roto, mwet nukewa fah sangeng sel ac ke ku lulap lal. El ac fah tuku oana soko infacl sronoti, ac oana sie eng upa ma tuhyak.
20 So shall come in for Zion, a Redeemer, Even for such as are turning from transgression in Jacob, —Declareth Yahweh.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga ac fah tuku nu Jerusalem in loangekowos ac moli kowos nukewa su forla liki ma koluk lowos.
21 And as for me, this, shall be my covenant with them, Saith Yahweh: My spirit that is upon thee, And my words which I have put in thy mouth, —Shall not be taken out of thy mouth—Nor out of the mouth of thy seed. Nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed, Saith Yahweh, From henceforth even unto times age-abiding.
Ac nga oru wuleang se inge yuruwos: Nga sot ku luk ac mwe luti luk tuh in ma lowos nwe tok, ac ingela kowos in akosyu ac luti tulik nutuwos ac filin tulik nutuwos in akosyu ke pacl nukewa fahsru.”
