Isaiah 26
1 Len se ac tuku ke mwet uh fah yuk on soko inge in facl Judah: Siti sesr uh ku na! God El sifacna loango pot kac!
In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation is established as its walls and ramparts.
2 Ikasla mutunpot lun siti uh Ac lela mutunfacl se ma oaru ac pwaye in utyak — Mutunfacl su mwet we oru ma suwohs.
Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter— one that remains faithful.
3 Kom, LEUM GOD, sang misla pwaye Nu selos su filiya lulafongi lalos in kom, Ac nunak lalos oakwuki ku.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You.
4 Lulalfongi LEUM GOD pacl nukewa; El ac fah karingin kut nwe tok.
Trust in the LORD forever, because GOD the LORD is the Rock eternal.
5 El akpusiselyalos su inse fulat; El kunausla siti ku ma elos muta we, Ac rakinya pot we nu infohk uh.
For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
6 Elos su akkeokyeyuk meet elos forfor fac in pacl inge Ac futungya ye nialos.
Feet trample it down— the feet of the oppressed, the steps of the poor.
7 LEUM GOD, kom akfwelye inkanek uh nu sin mwet wo; Inkanek ma elos fufahsryesr fac uh fwelna.
The path of the righteous is level; You clear a straight path for the upright.
8 Ku fahsr tukun ma lungse lom, ac filiya finsrak lasr in kom; Kom mukena pa kut lungse yohk uh.
Yes, we wait for You, O LORD; we walk in the path of Your judgments. Your name and renown are the desire of our souls.
9 Ke fong uh nga nunkekom ke insiuk nufon; Ke kom nununku faclu ac mwet fac, Elos nukewa fah etu lah mea kalmen nununku suwohs.
My soul longs for You in the night; indeed, my spirit seeks You at dawn. For when Your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness.
10 Kom finne kulang nu sin mwet koluk uh, Elos ac tiana etala in oru ma pwaye. Elos finne muta in facl sin mwet suwoswos A elos srakna oru ma koluk; Elos tia lungse akfulatye kom.
Though grace is shown to the wicked man, he does not learn righteousness. In the land of righteousness he acts unjustly and fails to see the majesty of the LORD.
11 Mwet lokoalok lom elos tiana etu lah kom ac kalyaelos. LEUM GOD, oru elos in mwekin ac lela elos in keok; Lela elos in keokkin kaiyuk su kom akoo nu selos. Akkalemye nu selos lupan lungse lom nu sin mwet lom.
O LORD, Your hand is upraised, but they do not see it. They will see Your zeal for Your people and be put to shame. The fire set for Your enemies will consume them!
12 LEUM GOD, kom fah ase misla ac insewowo nu sesr; Ma nukewa ma kut orala uh Ma tuku ke sripen orekma lom.
O LORD, You will establish peace for us. For all that we have accomplished, You have done for us.
13 LEUM GOD lasr, oasr tari pacl ma leumiyuk kut sin mwet saya, Tusruktu kom mukena pa LEUM GOD lasr.
O LORD our God, other lords besides You have had dominion, but Your name alone do we confess.
14 A inge elos misa tari, ac elos fah tia sifil moul; Ngunalos fah tia sifil tukakek, Tuh kom kaelos ac kunauselosla. Wangin sie mwet ac sifil esamulos.
The dead will not live; the departed spirits will not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them; You have wiped out all memory of them.
15 LEUM GOD, kom akkapye mutunfacl sesr, Ac akyokyelik ke siska nukewa; Ke ma inge akfulatyeyuk kom.
You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; You have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for Yourself; You have extended all the borders of the land.
16 LEUM GOD, kom kalyei mwet lom, Ac in keok lalos elos pre nu sum.
O LORD, they sought You in their distress; when You disciplined them, they poured out a quiet prayer.
17 LEUM GOD, kom oru kut wowoyak ac tung, Oana ke sie mutan el koek ac tung ke pacl in isus lal.
As a woman with child about to give birth writhes and cries out in pain, so were we in Your presence, O LORD.
18 Kut mutana in waiok ac keok, wanginna ma kut oswe. Wangin kutangla lasr nu sin facl sesr; Wanginna ma kut orala.
We were with child; we writhed in pain; but we gave birth to wind. We have given no salvation to the earth, nor brought any life into the world.
19 Mwet lasr ma misa ac fah sifil moulyak! Manolos ac fah sifil moul. Elos nukewa su motul inkulyuk lalos Fah ngutalik ac on ke engan. Oana ke aunfong saromrom aksasuye faclu, Ouinge LEUM GOD El fah akmoulyalosyak su misa ke pacl loes somla.
Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.
20 Mwet luk, kowos som nu in lohm suwos ac kaleang srungul an. Wikla kitin pacl nwe ke na kasrkusrak lun God wanginla.
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourselves a little while until the wrath has passed.
21 LEUM GOD El ac tuku liki acn sel inkusrao in kalyei mwet faclu ke ma koluk lalos. Akmas ma orek in lukma fin faclu ac fah kalemla, ac infohk uh fah tia sifil okanla mwet su anwuki we.
For behold, the LORD is coming out of His dwelling to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth will reveal her bloodshed and will no longer conceal her slain.
