Isaiah 56
1 Yahweh says [to all the people of Judah], “Do the things that are fair and just, because I will soon come to rescue [DOU] you.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Oru ma suwohs ac pwaye, mweyen ac tia paht nga ac molikowosla.
2 I will bless those who faithfully obey my laws about the Sabbath/rest days. I will bless those who (keep sacred/honor) my Sabbath/rest days, and who do not do any work on those days, and who refrain from [MTY] doing anything that is evil.
Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su karinganang len Sabbath ac tia aklusrongtenye. Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su tia oru kutena ma koluk.”
3 And foreigners who have believed in me should not say, ‘Yahweh will surely not allow me to belong to his people.’ And eunuchs should not say, ‘[Because I am unable to have children, I cannot belong to Yahweh]; I am like [MET] a tree that has completely withered.’
Sie mwetsac su weang mwet lun God elan tia fahk mu, “LEUM GOD El tia lela ngan wi mwet lal uh alu.” Sie eunuch elan tia nunku mu el tia ku in wi oaoala nu ke mwet lun God ke sripen el tia ku in orek tulik.
4 They should not say that, because [I], Yahweh, say this to the eunuchs who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who choose to do the things that please me, and who obey all [the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people]:
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin kain mukul se ingan, “Kom fin akfulatyeyu ke kom karinganang len Sabbath, ac kom fin oru ma nga lungse ac oaru in liyaung wuleang luk,
5 I will cause to be put inside the walls of my temple a monument [DOU] to them; because of that monument, they will be honored more than they would have if they had children; they will be honored forever.
na inem ac fah esamyuk in Tempul luk oayapa inmasrlon mwet luk, paht liki na funu oasr wen ac acn nutum. Kom ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
6 I will also bless those who are not Israelis, who (join themselves to/believe in) me, and who serve me and worship and love me, and who obey my laws about the Sabbath, and who faithfully obey [all the other laws of] the agreement that I [made with the Israeli people].
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwetsac su wela mwet lal, su lungse El ac kulansupwal, su akfulatye len Sabbath ac oaru in liyaung wuleang lal:
7 I will bring them to my sacred hill [in Jerusalem], I will cause them to be [very] joyful in my temple where people pray to me, and I will accept the sacrifices that they completely burn [on my altar] and other sacrifices that they offer. I will do those things for them because I want my temple to be a building where people of all nations pray to me.
“Nga fah uskowosme nu Zion, fineol mutal luk, ac akenganye kowos in iwen pre sik, ac nga fah insewowo in eis mwe kisa ma kowos kisakin fin loang luk. Tempul sik fah pangpang iwen pre nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa.”
8 [I], Yahweh, the Lord, the one who will bring back the people of Israel who have been (forced to go/exiled) to other countries, say this: 'I will bring [from other countries] many more people to join those Israelis whom I have brought back.'”
LEUM GOD Fulatlana, su folokonma mwet Israel lal nu yen selos liki sruoh, El wulela mu El ac use kutu pac mwet sayalos in welulosyang.
9 “You [surrounding nations have armies that are like] [MET] animals in the forest; come and attack/destroy [Israel]!
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mutunfacl saya uh in tuku oana kosro lemnak ac kangla mwet lal.
10 The Israeli leaders [should be like] watchdogs to protect the people, but [it is as though] they are blind. They are stupid. They are all [like] [MET] dogs that cannot bark. [Good watchdogs bark when strangers approach], [but the Israeli leaders do not warn the people that their enemies are coming]. Instead, they just want to lie down and sleep and dream.
El fahk, “Mwet kol nukewa, su ma kunalos in sensenkakin mwet luk, elos kun! Wangin ma elos etu. Elos oana kosro ngalngul in soan ma tiana wowo — elos oanna ac mweme. Elos lungse na pwaye motul!
11 [And they are like] greedy dogs; they never get all that they want. They are [supposed to lead the people, like good] shepherds [lead their flocks], but they are ignorant, and they each do whatever they want to do.
Elos oana kosro oasroasr in mongo ma tia etu kihpi. Mwet kol inge wangin etauk lalos. Kais sie selos oru na ma elos lungse, ac suk na ma ac wo nu selos sifacna.
12 They say to each other, ‘Come, let’s go and get some wine and [other] alcoholic/strong drinks, and let’s become drunk! And tomorrow we will enjoy drinking even more!’”
Mwet sruhi inge elos fahk, ‘Use kutu wain an kut in nim na ke kuiyasr! Len lutu uh ac fah wo liki na misenge!’”
