< Isaiah 50 >

1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu nga supwala mwet luk in som likiyu Oana sie mukul su sisla mutan kial? Na, pia pwepu in fahsrelik an? Ya kowos nunku mu nga tuh kukakin kowos in akfalye soemoul luk, Oana sie mwet su kukakin tulik natul tuh elos in mwet kohs? Mo, kowos tuh som nu in sruoh ke sripen ma koluk lowos; Nga supwekowosla ke sripen orekma koluk lowos.
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
“Efu ku mwet luk uh tia porongeyu Ke nga som nu yorolos in molelos? Efu elos ku tia topuk pacl se nga pang? Mea, nga arulana munas in molelosla? Nga ku in akpaoyela meoa ke sap na luk, Ac oru tuh infacl uh in ekla nu ke acn mwesis, Na ik loac fah misa mweyen lisr kof.
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
Nga ku in oru yen engyeng uh in lohsrla, In oana elan asor ke sie mwet misa.”
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El lutiyu ma nga in fahk, Tuh nga in ku in akkeye mwet munas. Lotutang nukewa El oru nga in kena Tari lohng ma El ac lutiyu kac.
5 Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
LEUM GOD El ase etauk nu sik, Ac nga tiana lainul Ku forla lukel.
6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
Nga fuhlelana elos in sringil fintukuk. Nga tia kutongolos ke elos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu Ac fis unen alut luk Ac ani nu in mutuk.
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
Tusruktu kas in akkoluk lalos koflana akmunasyeyu Mweyen LEUM GOD Fulatlana El kasreyu. Nga sikulyuwi na ku, tuh nga in muteng ma elos oru. Nga etu lah nga ac tia akmwekinyeyuk,
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
Mweyen God El apkuran nu sik, Ac El fah akpwayei lah wangin ma koluk luk. Ya oasr mwet ac pulaik in orek tukak keik? Lela nga el in tukeni som nu ke nununku! Lela elan fahk tukak lal an we!
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac loangeyu, Na su ku in akpwayei lah oasr ma koluk luk? Mwet nukewa ma orek tukak keik ac wanginla, Elos ac wanginla oana sie ipin nuknuk ma watilla uh.
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
Kowos nukewa su akfulatye LEUM GOD Ac akos kas lun mwet kulansap lal, Sahp ac ku in lohsr inkanek ma kowos fahsr kac, Tusruktu lulalfongina in LEUM GOD, ac fungyang nu sel.
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
Kowos nukewa su oru pwapa koluk in kunausla mwet saya Ac fah kunausyukla ke pwapa koluk lowos. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in ouinge. Ke saflaiya uh kowos ac fah keok ke mwe ongoiya na koluk.
