Isaiah 55
1 “All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahsru, kowos nukewa su malu — Kof pa inge! Fahsru kowos su wangin mani la — Mongo ac nim! Fahsru! Moul wain ac milk — Ac fah wangin molo!
2 [What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
Efu ku kowos sisi mani ke ma ac tia akinsewowoye kowos? Efu ku kowos sisla molin orekma lowos ac srakna masrinsral? Porongeyu ac oru ma nga fahk uh, Na kowos fah engankin mwe mongo ma wo emeet uh.
3 Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
“Mwet luk, porongeyu ac fahsru nu yuruk; Fahsru nu yuruk, na ac fah oasr moul lowos! Nga ac oru sie wuleang inmasrlok ac kowos su wangin saflaiya, Ac nga fah sot nu suwos mwe insewowo ma nga tuh wuleang nu sel David.
4 By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
Nga oru tuh elan sie mwet kol ac leum lun mutunfacl uh, Ac nga akkalemye ku luk kacl.
5 And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
Inge kowos fah suli mutunfacl saya uh. Sie pacl ah, elos tuh tia etekowos, A inge elos ac kasrusr tuku in wi kowos! Nga, LEUM GOD lowos, God mutal lun Israel, Fah oru ma inge nukewa in sikyak; Nga fah sot nu suwos sunak ac wolana.”
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Suk LEUM GOD ke kowos srakna ku in konalak, Pre nu sel inge ke El apkuran.
7 Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
Lela mwet koluk in sisla ouiyen moul lalos, Ac in ekulla ouiyen nunak lalos. Lela elos in forla nu sin LEUM GOD lasr; El pakoten ac sa in nunak munas.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nunak luk, tia oana nunak lowos, Ac inkanek luk siena liki inkanek lowos.
9 Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
Oana ke kusrao arulana fulat liki faclu, Ouinge inkanek luk fulat liki inkanek lowos, Ac nunak luk liki nunak lowos.
10 Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
“Kas luk oana snow ac af Ma kahk inkusrao me in aksroksrokye faclu. Af uh oru sacn uh in kap Tuh in oasr fita mwe yok, ac in isus fahko mwe mongo.
11 And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
Ac fah oapana inge ke kas ma nga fahk uh — Ac fah tia tafongla liki ma nga sapkin uh, A ac fah orekla ma nukewa fal nu ke lungse luk.
12 You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
“Kowos ac fah som liki acn Babylon ke engan lulap; Ac fah kokola kowos liki siti uh in misla. Eol uh ac inging uh fah wowoyak ke on, Ac sak uh fah sasa ke engan.
13 Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
Sak cypress fah kap ke acn ma mah fakfuk uh kapak we. Acn ma oasr kokul we inge, sak myrtle fah kapak we. Pa inge sie mwe akul ma ac oanna nwe tok, Sie mwe akesmak ke ma nga, LEUM GOD, orala.”
