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 shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; His aid doth God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Ikasla mutunpot lun siti uh Ac lela mutunfacl se ma oaru ac pwaye in utyak — Mutunfacl su mwet we oru ma suwohs.
Open ye the gates, That the righteous nation may enter in, The nation that keepeth the truth.
3 Kom, LEUM GOD, sang misla pwaye Nu selos su filiya lulafongi lalos in kom, Ac nunak lalos oakwuki ku.
Him that is of a steadfast mind Thou wilt keep in continual peace, Because he trusteth in thee.
4 Lulalfongi LEUM GOD pacl nukewa; El ac fah karingin kut nwe tok.
Trust ye in Jehovah forever, For the Lord Jehovah is an everlasting rock.
5 El akpusiselyalos su inse fulat; El kunausla siti ku ma elos muta we, Ac rakinya pot we nu infohk uh.
For he hath brought down the inhabitants of the fortress; The lofty city he hath laid low; He hath laid her low even to the ground; He hath levelled her with the dust.
6 Elos su akkeokyeyuk meet elos forfor fac in pacl inge Ac futungya ye nialos.
The foot trampleth upon her, The feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.
7 LEUM GOD, kom akfwelye inkanek uh nu sin mwet wo; Inkanek ma elos fufahsryesr fac uh fwelna.
The way of the upright is a smooth way; Thou, O most righteous, doth level the path of the upright!
8 Ku fahsr tukun ma lungse lom, ac filiya finsrak lasr in kom; Kom mukena pa kut lungse yohk uh.
In the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for thee; The desire of our souls is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
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 longeth for thee in the night, And my spirit within me seeketh thee in the morning; For when thy judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants 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 favor be shown to the wicked, He will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, And have no regard to the majesty of Jehovah.
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.
Thy hand, O Jehovah, is lifted up, yet do they not see; But they shall see with shame thy zeal for thy people; Yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
12 LEUM GOD, kom fah ase misla ac insewowo nu sesr; Ma nukewa ma kut orala uh Ma tuku ke sripen orekma lom.
Thou, O Jehovah, wilt give us peace; For all our works thou doest for us.
13 LEUM GOD lasr, oasr tari pacl ma leumiyuk kut sin mwet saya, Tusruktu kom mukena pa LEUM GOD lasr.
O Jehovah, our God, other lords have had dominion over us besides thee; Only through thee do we call upon thy name.
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 shall not live; They are shades, they shall not rise. For thou hast visited and destroyed them, And caused all the memory of them to perish.
15 LEUM GOD, kom akkapye mutunfacl sesr, Ac akyokyelik ke siska nukewa; Ke ma inge akfulatyeyuk kom.
“Thou wilt enlarge the nation, O Jehovah! Thou wilt enlarge the nation; thou wilt glorify thyself; Thou wilt widely extend all the borders of the land.
16 LEUM GOD, kom kalyei mwet lom, Ac in keok lalos elos pre nu sum.
O Jehovah, in affliction they sought thee; They poured out their prayer, when thy chastisement was upon them.
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, when her delivery is near, Is in anguish, and crieth aloud in her pangs, So have we been, far from thy presence, O Jehovah!
18 Kut mutana in waiok ac keok, wanginna ma kut oswe. Wangin kutangla lasr nu sin facl sesr; Wanginna ma kut orala.
We have been with child; we have been in anguish, Yet have, as it were, brought forth wind. To the land we bring no deliverance; Nor are the inhabitants of the land born.
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.
O might thy dead live again, Might the dead bodies of my people arise! Awake, and sing, ye that dwell in the dust! For thy dew is like the dew upon plants, And the earth shall 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.
Come, my people, enter into thy chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee; Hide thyself for a little moment, Until the indignation be overpast!
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, Jehovah cometh forth from his place, To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth shall disclose her blood, And shall no longer cover her slain.
