Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, but no one considers it, and the people of covenant faithfulness are gathered away, but no one understands that the righteous is gathered away from the evil.
Mwet wo uh misa, a wangin mwet nunku kaclos ku suk lah efu. Tusruktu ke elos misa tari, wangin mwe ongoiya ku in sonolos.
2 He enters into peace; they rest in their beds, those who walk in their uprightness.
Elos su moulkin moul wo elos konauk misla ac mongla tukun misa lalos.
3 But come here, you sons of the sorceress, children of the adulterer and the woman who has prostituted herself.
Kowos mwet koluk, fahsru in nununkeyuk kowos! Kowos tia wo liki mwet inutnut, mwet kosro, ac mutan su lungse kukakin manolos.
4 Whom are you merrily mocking? Against whom are you opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, children of deceit?
Su kowos isrun an? Kowos mwet kikiap, su kowos yayai uh?
5 You heat yourselves up sleeping together under the oaks, under every green tree, you who kill your children in the dry riverbeds, under the rocky overhangs.
Kowos alu nu sin god lun eslap ke kowos orek kosro ye sak oal sunowos ingan. Kowos sang tulik nutuwos tuh in mwe kisa ke luf inmasrlon eot uh apkuran nu pe infacl uh.
6 Among the smooth things of the river valley are the things that have been assigned to you. They are the object of your devotion. You pour out your drink offering to them and raise up a grain offering. In these things should I take pleasure?
Kowos eis eot fwel we, ac alu nu kac in srulun god. Kowos okoala wain ac use mwe kisa wheat in mwe sang nu selos. Ya kowos nunku mu nga insewowo ke ma inge?
7 You prepared your bed on a high mountain; you also went up there to offer sacrifices.
Kowos som nu fineol fulat in orek kisa nu ke ma sruloala, ouinge kowos tia pwaye nu sik.
8 Behind the door and the doorposts you set up your symbols; you deserted me, made yourselves naked, and went up; you made your bed wide. You made a covenant with them; you loved their beds; you saw their private parts.
Kowos tulokunak ma sruloala fohkfok lowos in lohm suwos sisken na mutunoa uh. Kowos sisyula. Kowos susarla ac sroang nu fin mwe oan kiowos wi mwet kawuk lowos su kowos moli in oan yuruwos. Ouinge sun lungse koluk lowos.
9 You went to Molech with oil; you multiplied perfumes. You send your ambassadors far away; you went down to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Kowos fifla ke ono keng ac mosrwekowosla ke mwe akmusra, ac som alu nu sin god Molech. Kowos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen loessula, finne nu in facl lun misa, in suk god saya in alu nu kac. (Sheol h7585)
10 You were tired from your long journey, but you never said, “It is hopeless.” You found life in your hand; therefore you did not weaken.
Kowos ne totolana in suk god saya ingan, a kowos tiana fuhleak. Kowos tiana munasla ke sripen kowos pangon mu ma sruloala fohkfok lowos ingan sot ku nu suwos.
11 “Whom are you worried about? Whom do you fear so much that has caused you to act so deceitfully, so much that you would not remember me or think about me? Because I was silent for so long, you are no longer afraid of me.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su god inge ma oru kowos sangeng, pwanang kowos kikiap nu sik ac tiana esamyu? Ya kowos tila akfulatyeyu mweyen in pacl na loeloes nga misla ac tia kaskas nu suwos?
12 I will proclaim all your righteous acts and tell all that you have done, but they will not help you.
Kowos nunku mu ma kowos oru an pwayena, tusruktu nga fah fahkak luman orekma koluk lowos in eteyuk, ac ma sruloala lowos ac fah tia ku in kasrekowos.
13 When you cry out, let your collection of idols rescue you. Instead the wind will carry them all away, a breath will carry them all away. Yet he who takes refuge in me will inherit the land and will take possession of my holy mountain.
Pacl kowos wowoyak in suk kasru, lela ma sruloala lowos ingan in molikowosla! Kitin eng na srisrik ku in okulosla! A elos su lulalfongiyu elos fah mutana in facl se inge, ac alu nu sik in Tempul luk.”
14 He will say, 'Build, build! Clear a way! Remove all the stumbling blocks from the path of my people!'”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Musai inkanek uh, ac akoela! Lela mwet luk in foloko nu yuruk. Eisla ma nukewa su kosrala inkanek lalos!
15 For this is what the high and elevated One says, who lives eternally, whose name is holy, “I live in the exalted and holy place, with him also that is of a crushed and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble ones, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
“Nga God fulat ac mutal, su moul ma pahtpat. Nga muta in sie acn fulat ac mutal, tusruktu nga oayapa muta yurin mwet pusisel ac mwet auliyak, tuh nga in ku in aksasuye lulalfongi ac finsrak lalos.
16 For I will not accuse forever, nor will I be angry forever, for then man's spirit would faint before me, the lives that I have made.
Nga sang moul nu sin mwet luk, ac nga fah tia kolla mulat luk ac amei yorolos nwe tok.
17 Because of the sin of his violent gain, I was angry, and I punished him; I hid my face and was angry, but he went backward in the way of his heart.
Nga tuh kasrkusrak selos ke sripen ma koluk ac nunak in rapku lalos, ouinge nga tuh kalyaelos ac ngetla lukelos. Tusruktu elos likkekelana ac fahsrna ke ouiya koluk lalos.
18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him. I will lead him and comfort and console those who mourn for him,
“Nga liye tari ma elos oru, tusruktu ne ouinge nga fah akkeyalosla. Nga fah kololos ac kasrelos, ac nga fah akwoyalos su tung.
19 and I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to those who are far off and to those who are near—says Yahweh—I will heal them.
Nga sang misla nu selos su muta apkuran ac oayapa elos su muta loessula! Nga fah akkeyala mwet luk.
20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, and its waters churn up mire and mud.
Tusruktu mwet koluk elos oana noa meoa ma tia tui in sisak kutkut ac ma fohkfok nu fin acn uh.”
21 There is no peace for the wicked one—says God.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
