< Isaiah 1 >

1 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Book se inge srumun pweng ke acn Judah ac Jerusalem ma God El akkalemye nu sel Isaiah wen natul Amoz, ke pacl Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, ac Hezekiah tuh tokosra lun Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they — they transgressed against Me.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Faclu ac kusrao, porongo ma nga fahk uh! Tulik ma nga tufahla elos tuyak lainyu.
3 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
Cow uh etu lah nutin su elos, ac donkey uh etu yen kitakat elos we. A mwet luk Israel nikin lukelos. Elos tiana kalem kutu srisrik.”
4 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons — corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward.
We nu suwos, mutunfacl se su orekma koluk. Kowos oru ma koluk ac fohkfok! Ma koluk lowos toankowosi! Kowos pilesru LEUM GOD, God mutal lun Israel, ac kowos ngetla lukel.
5 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostasy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick.
Efu ku kowos lainul na? Ya kowos lungse in kalyeiyuk kowos yohk liki meet ah? Israel, insifom afla tari ke kinet, ac insiom ac nunak lom mas na.
6 From the sole of the foot — unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment.
Insifomi na nwe ke falkom, wangin sie ipin monum fas ku wo. Kom afinyukla ke futun ac palang ac ruf. Kinet keim tiana aknasnasyeyukla ku pihpla. Wangin ono itukyang nu kac.
7 Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers!
Facl suwos uh arulana musalla, ac siti suwos uh firiryak nwe ke apatla. Kowos mutana ngetang ke mwetsac uh eisla acn suwos, ac kunausla ma nukewa.
8 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers — as a city besieged.
Acn Jerusalem mukena lula, sie siti kuhlusyukla — tia ku in oru kutena ma, oana luman sie lac lohm mwe lul lun mwet liyaung ima in grape ku ima in cucumber.
9 Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly — as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
LEUM GOD Kulana El funu tia lela kutu sin mwet uh in moulla, Jerusalem lukun sikiyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah,
Jerusalem, mwet leum lom ac mwet lom elos oana mwet Sodom ac Gomorrah. Porongo ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos. Lohang nu ke ma God lasr El luti nu suwos inge.
11 'Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired.
El fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu nga lungkin mwe kisa ma kowos oru nu sik? Alukela tari pisen sheep ma kowos furreak in mwe kisa, ac kiris ke kosro wowo nutuwos an. Nga totola ke srah in cow mukul ac sheep ac nani.
12 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts?
Su sap kowos in use ma inge nu yuruk ke kowos tuku in alu nu sik? Nimet sifil fahsr kihmkim in kalkal sik uh!
13 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense — an abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity — and a restraint!
Wangin sripen mwe sang lowos. Nga srungala foulin mwe kisa kowos isik uh. Nga tia ku in muteng Kufwen Malem Sasu lowos, Sabbath lowos, ac tukeni in alyalu lowos — ma inge nukewa kolukla ke sripen orekma koluk lowos.
14 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing.
Nga kwase Kufwen Malem Sasu lowos ac len lulap lowos; ma ingan oana sie mwe utuk toasr su nga totola ke usya.
15 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
“Ke kowos srukak pouwos in pre, nga ac fah tia ngetot nu suwos. Finne arulana yohk pre lowos, nga fah tia porongo, tuh pouwos nukla ke srah.
16 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
Oulkowosla sifacna in nasnas. Tulokinya orekma koluk ma kowos oru nga liye,
17 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
ac srike in oru ma suwohs. Suk nununku suwohs — kasrelos su akkohsyeyuk, sang nu sin mwet mukaimtal ma fal nu selos, ac kasru enenu lun katinmas.”
18 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Inge fahsru kut in aksuwosyela ma se inge. Kowos tuhn srusrala ke ma koluk lowos, tusruktu nga fah oulkowosla in fasrfasr oana snow — finne srusra fohkfok, ac fah nasnasla oana unen sheep.
19 If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,
Kowos fin akosyu, kowos ac fah kang fahko wo lun acn uh.
20 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
A kowos fin lainyu na, kowos ac fah misa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
21 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.
Siti se ma tuh inse pwaye meet, ekla oana moul lun sie mutan kosro. Tuh pukanten mwet suwoswos muta we meet, a inge mwet akmas mukena pa muta we.
22 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
Jerusalem, kom tuh oana silver, a inge wanginla sripom; kom tuh oana wain wowo, a inge kom oana kof.
23 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them.
Mwet kol lom uh elos lungsena alein ac elos kawukyang nu sin mwet pisrapasr. Pacl nukewa elos lungsena eis mwe sang ac mwe eyeinse. Elos tia karingin tuh nununku suwohs in orek nu sin tulik mukaimtal ac katinmas.
24 Therefore — the affirmation of the Lord — Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies,
Ke ma inge, kom in lipsre ma LEUM GOD Kulana lun Israel El fahk nu sum: “Nga ac fah foloksak lain kom, mwet lokoalok luk, na kom fah tia sifil aklokoalokyeyu.
25 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,
Nga fah srukak pouk lain kom. Nga fah aknasnasye kom oana ke osra uh aknasnasyeyuk ke e, ac eisla ma fohkfok nukewa liki kom.
26 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, 'A city of righteousness — a faithful city.'
Nga fah sot mwet nununku ac mwet kasru su ac fah oana elos su tuh kol kowos in pacl oemeet ah. Na ac fah pangpang Jerusalem sie siti suwoswos ac pwaye nu sik.”
27 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
Ke sripen LEUM GOD El suwoswos, El ac fah molela acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we su auliyak.
28 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is] together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed.
A El ac fah kunausla mwet nukewa su orekma koluk ac lainul. El ac fah uniya mwet nukewa su ngetla lukel.
29 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen.
Kom ac fah mwekin lah kom tuh alu nu ke sak, ac akoalye ima uh nu ke god lusrongten.
30 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water.
Kom ac fah oana soko sak oak ma sra kac masla, ku oana sie ima ma wangin kof we.
31 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!
Oana ke mah pao uh isisyak ke sie e na srisrik, ouinge mwet su lulalfongi ku lalos ac fah kunausyukla ke sripen ma koluk lalos sifacna, ac wangin mwet ac ku in sikulya.
