Isaiah 1
1 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.
The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Faclu ac kusrao, porongo ma nga fahk uh! Tulik ma nga tufahla elos tuyak lainyu.
Hear, heavens, and give ear, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: “I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against me.
3 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.”
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's feeding trough, but Israel does not know, Israel does not understand.”
4 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.
Woe! Nation, sinners, a people weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned Yahweh, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have estranged themselves from him.
5 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.
Why are you still being beaten? Why do you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, the whole heart is weak.
6 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.
From the sole of the foot to the head there is no part unharmed; only wounds, and bruises, and fresh open wounds; they have not been closed, cleansed, bandaged, nor treated with oil.
7 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.
Your country is ruined; your cities are burned; your fields—in your presence, strangers are destroying them— abandoned devastation, overthrown by strangers.
8 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.
The daughter of Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, like a shed in a garden of cucumbers, like a besieged city.
9 LEUM GOD Kulana El funu tia lela kutu sin mwet uh in moulla, Jerusalem lukun sikiyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah.
If Yahweh of hosts had not left for us a small remnant, we would have been like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.
10 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.
Hear the word of Yahweh, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah:
11 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.
“What is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?” says Yahweh. “I have had enough of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fatted beasts; and in the blood of bulls, lambs, or goats I do not delight.
12 Su sap kowos in use ma inge nu yuruk ke kowos tuku in alu nu sik? Nimet sifil fahsr kihmkim in kalkal sik uh!
When you come to appear before me, who has required this of you, to trample my courts?
13 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.
Bring no more meaningless offerings; incense is an abomination to me; your new moon and Sabbath assemblies—I cannot tolerate these wicked assemblies.
14 Nga kwase Kufwen Malem Sasu lowos ac len lulap lowos; ma ingan oana sie mwe utuk toasr su nga totola ke usya.
I hate your new moons and your appointed feasts; they are a burden to me; I am tired of enduring them.
15 “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.
So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even though you offer many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.
16 Oulkowosla sifacna in nasnas. Tulokinya orekma koluk ma kowos oru nga liye,
Wash, cleanse yourselves; remove the evil of your deeds from my sight; stop being evil;
17 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.”
learn to do good; seek justice, make straight the oppression, give justice to the fatherless, defend the widow.”
18 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.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” says Yahweh; “though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white like snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.
19 Kowos fin akosyu, kowos ac fah kang fahko wo lun acn uh.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land,
20 A kowos fin lainyu na, kowos ac fah misa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
but if you refuse and rebel, the sword will devour you,” for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
21 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.
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She who was full of justice—she was full of righteousness, but now she is full of murderers.
22 Jerusalem, kom tuh oana silver, a inge wanginla sripom; kom tuh oana wain wowo, a inge kom oana kof.
Your silver has become impure, your wine mixed with water.
23 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.
Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves; everyone loves bribes and runs after payoffs. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the widow's legal plea come before them.
24 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.
Therefore this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Woe to them! I will take vengeance against my adversaries, and avenge myself against my enemies;
25 Nga fah srukak pouk lain kom. Nga fah aknasnasye kom oana ke osra uh aknasnasyeyuk ke e, ac eisla ma fohkfok nukewa liki kom.
I will turn my hand against you, refine away your dross as with lye, and take away all your dross.
26 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.”
I will restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning; after that you will be called the city of righteousness, a faithful town.”
27 Ke sripen LEUM GOD El suwoswos, El ac fah molela acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we su auliyak.
Zion will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness.
28 A El ac fah kunausla mwet nukewa su orekma koluk ac lainul. El ac fah uniya mwet nukewa su ngetla lukel.
Rebels and sinners will be crushed together, and those who abandon Yahweh will be done away with.
29 Kom ac fah mwekin lah kom tuh alu nu ke sak, ac akoalye ima uh nu ke god lusrongten.
“For you will be ashamed of the sacred oak trees that you desired, and you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 Kom ac fah oana soko sak oak ma sra kac masla, ku oana sie ima ma wangin kof we.
For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.
31 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.
The strong man will be like tinder, and his work like a spark; they will both burn together, and no one will quench them.”
