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!
At that time, this will be the song that is sung in the land of Judah: “Ours is a strong city! Its walls and defenses are our salvation!
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 the nation who follows the right can come in, the nation that stays 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 complete peace those who keep their minds focused on you, because they trust in you.
4 Lulalfongi LEUM GOD pacl nukewa; El ac fah karingin kut nwe tok.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
5 El akpusiselyalos su inse fulat; El kunausla siti ku ma elos muta we, Ac rakinya pot we nu infohk uh.
He brings down those who live so high and mighty; he demolishes the proud city with its high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
6 Elos su akkeokyeyuk meet elos forfor fac in pacl inge Ac futungya ye nialos.
The poor tread it underfoot; the oppressed walk on top of it.
7 LEUM GOD, kom akfwelye inkanek uh nu sin mwet wo; Inkanek ma elos fufahsryesr fac uh fwelna.
You God, do what is right, and you straighten out the way for those who live right; you smooth out their path.
8 Ku fahsr tukun ma lungse lom, ac filiya finsrak lasr in kom; Kom mukena pa kut lungse yohk uh.
Yes, we follow your instructions, Lord, we put our hope in you. What we most want is to remember you and your wonderful character.
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.
I look for you in the night; deep inside me I long for you. When your laws are shown to the earth, then the people of the world learn what is right.
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, they don't learn to do right. Even in a country where people do what's right, they continue to do evil and they don't think about how great the Lord is.
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.
Lord, you are holding your hand up, but they don't see it. Let them see your passionate commitment for your people, and be embarrassed; may the fire reserved for your enemies destroy them!
12 LEUM GOD, kom fah ase misla ac insewowo nu sesr; Ma nukewa ma kut orala uh Ma tuku ke sripen orekma lom.
Lord, you give us peace and prosperity; everything we've achieved 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.
Lord our God, there have been other lords besides you who have ruled us, but you are the only one we worship.
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.
They are dead, they will not live again; they will not rise from the grave. Lord, you punished them and destroyed them—even wiping out every memory about them.
15 LEUM GOD, kom akkapye mutunfacl sesr, Ac akyokyelik ke siska nukewa; Ke ma inge akfulatyeyuk kom.
You have made the nation grow, Lord, you have made the nation grow. You have expanded our borders of the land, and we honored you.
16 LEUM GOD, kom kalyei mwet lom, Ac in keok lalos elos pre nu sum.
Lord, when we were suffering we came to you, pouring out our prayers like whispers as you disciplined us.
17 LEUM GOD, kom oru kut wowoyak ac tung, Oana ke sie mutan el koek ac tung ke pacl in isus lal.
Just as a pregnant woman giving birth tosses about and cries out in pain, that's what we were like in your presence, Lord.
18 Kut mutana in waiok ac keok, wanginna ma kut oswe. Wangin kutangla lasr nu sin facl sesr; Wanginna ma kut orala.
However, even though we became pregnant and we tossed about in pain, we gave birth to nothing but air. We did not bring about the salvation of the earth, and the people of the world have not become alive.
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.
But those who died in you, Lord, will live! Their bodies will rise again! Wake up, and sing for joy, you people sleeping in the dust, for the dew you receive is like the dew of the morning giving life to those in the grave.
20 Mwet luk, kowos som nu in lohm suwos ac kaleang srungul an. Wikla kitin pacl nwe ke na kasrkusrak lun God wanginla.
My people, go inside your homes and close your doors behind you. Hide there for a little while until the fury 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.
Watch out! The Lord is coming from where he lives to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will reveal the blood that has been shed on it; the earth won't hide those who have been killed any no longer.”
