Isaiah 40
1 “Akwoye mwet luk,” God lasr El fahk. “Kowos in akwoyalos!
Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your God.
2 Akkeye insien mwet Jerusalem. Fahk nu selos lah fal tari lusen pacl elos keok, Ac inge ma koluk lalos iyukla. Nga kalyaelos tari fal nu ke ma koluk lalos nukewa.”
Bid Jerusalem take heart, and proclaim unto her, that her time of service is accomplished, that her guilt is paid off; that she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3 Sie pusra wowoyak, “Akoela soko inkanek yen mwesis nu sin LEUM GOD! Sakunla innek yen mwesis uh nu sin God lasr!
Hark! one calleth: 'Clear ye in the wilderness the way of the LORD, make plain in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Infahlfal nukewa ac fah nwekyukla; Ac eol ac tohktok nukewa fah akpusiselyeyuk. Acn tohktok uh fah ekla acn tupasrpasr, Ac acn siruprup ac fah akfwelyeyukla.
Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the rugged shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;
5 Na wolana lun LEUM GOD fah akkalemyeyukla, Ac mwet e nukewa fah liye. LEUM GOD sifacna El wulela ouinge.”
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'
6 Na sie pusra wowoyak ac fahk, “Sulkakin pweng se inge!” Na nga siyuk, “Pweng fuka nga ac sulkakin uh?” “Fahkak lah mwet nukewa oana mah uh; Wo lalos uh ac oanna ke kitin pacl, oana ros inimae.
Hark! one saith: 'Proclaim!' And he saith: 'What shall I proclaim?' 'All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field;
7 Mah uh ac uli, ac ros uh ac efla Ke LEUM GOD El supwama eng in okla. Mwet uh sukawil oana mah uh.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; because the breath of the LORD bloweth upon it — surely the people is grass.
8 Aok, mah uh uli ac ros uh efla, A kas lun God lasr oan ma pahtpat.”
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever.'
9 Jerusalem, utyak nu fin soko eol fulat Ac sulkakin pweng wo! Zion, pangla ke sie pusra lulap; Ac fahkak ke pweng wo se inge! Kaskas akyokye, ac nimet sangeng. Fahk nu sin siti lun Judah Lah God lalos El summa!
O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain; O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!'
10 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El tuku in leumi ke ku, Ac us mwet El molela uh welul.
Behold, the Lord GOD will come as a Mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.
11 El fah karingin un sheep natul oana sie mwet shepherd; El fah orani sheep fusr nu sie Ac kafiselosyak inpaol; El fah kakasrisrik akfasrye kientop uh.
Even as a shepherd that feedeth his flock, that gathereth the lambs in his arm, and carrieth them in his bosom, and gently leadeth those that give suck.
12 Ya oasr mwet ku in srikeya meoa uh ke inpaol, Ku srike kusrao ke sralapan paol? Ya oasr sie mwet ku in nwanak fohk ke faclu in sie cup, Ku pauniya eol ac inging uh ke sie mwe paun?
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Ya oasr sie mwet ac ku in fahk nu sin LEUM GOD ma Elan oru? Su ku in lotel, ku sang kas in kasru nu sel?
Who hath meted out the spirit of the LORD? Or who was His counsellor that he might instruct Him?
14 Su God El lutlut se Tuh Elan ku in etu Ac kalem lah El ac oru fuka ma uh?
With whom took He counsel, and who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of right, and taught Him knowledge, and made Him to know the way of discernment?
15 Yurin LEUM GOD, mutunfacl uh ma na pilasr, Oana tul in kof sefanna in sie bucket; Tuka ma oan yen loessula mulala oana kutkut srisrik ma eng uh uk.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance; behold the isles are as a mote in weight.
16 Kosro nukewa ke insak in acn Lebanon Sufalla nu ke sie mwe kisa nu sin God lasr, Ac sak nukewa we sufalla in kalmateak sie e in kisa.
And Lebanon is not sufficient fuel, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for burnt-offerings.
17 Mutunfacl uh ma na lusrongten se sel.
All the nations are as nothing before Him; they are accounted by Him as things of nought, and vanity.
18 Su ac ku in lumweyuk God nu kac? Kom ac aketeya fuka lah El oana mea?
To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto Him?
19 El tia oana sie ma sruloala ma orekla ke poun mwet, Ma mwet orekma ke osra uh nokomla ke gold, Ac oakiya in sie kahpu silver.
The image perchance, which the craftsman hath melted, and the goldsmith spread over with gold, the silversmith casting silver chains?
20 Mwet se ma wangin silver ku gold yoro El sulela soko sak ma ac tia kulawi. El ac konauk sie mwet tufahl pisrla In taflela sie ma sruloala su ac tia topla.
A holm-oak is set apart, he chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning craftsman to set up an image, that shall not be moved.
21 Ya kom tia etu? Ya tiana fwackot nu sum oemeet? Kom tiana lohng lah faclu mutawauk fuka?
Know ye not? hear ye not? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundations of the earth?
22 Orekla sin El su muta fin tron lal Lucng liki faclu ac yen loessula liki yen engyeng uh; Liyeyuk mwet ten uh oana mak na srisrik. El asroelik yen engyeng uh oana sie mwe lisrlisr, Oana sie lohm nuknuk mwet uh in muta loac.
It is He that sitteth above the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
23 El sisya mwet leum na ku Ac aksrikyelosla nu ke ma na lusrongten.
That bringeth princes to nothing; He maketh the judges of the earth as a thing of nought.
24 Elos oana sak na fusr, Ma tufahna yoki ac soenna okahla. Ke LEUM GOD El supwama sie eng, Ma inge ac uli ac sohkla oana mah pao.
Scarce are they planted, scarce are they sown, scarce hath their stock taken root in the earth; when He bloweth upon them, they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
25 Su God mutal El ac ku in lumweyuk nu se? Oasr sie pac saya oana El?
To whom then will ye liken Me, that I should be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Ngetak nu inkusrao! Su orala itu ma kom liye uh? El su kololosla oana sie un mwet mweun. El etu pisalos Ac pangon kais sie ke inelos. Ke ku lulap lal Tia sie selos ku in tuhlac!
Lift up your eyes on high, and see: who hath created these? He that bringeth out their host by number, He calleth them all by name; by the greatness of His might, and for that He is strong in power, not one faileth.
27 Israel, fin ouinge, efu ku kom torkaskas mu LEUM GOD El tia etu mwe elya lom, Ac El pilesru keok lom ke sripen nununku sesuwos?
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel: 'My way is hid from the LORD, and my right is passed over from my God'?
28 Ya kom tia etu? Kom tiana lohng? LEUM GOD El God ma pahtpat. El orala faclu nufon. El tiana totola ku mulalla. Wangin mwet kalem ke nunak lal.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? His discernment is past searching out.
29 El akkeyalos su munas ac totola.
He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might He increaseth strength.
30 Finne elos su fusr, elos munasla; Mwet fusr uh ku in totola ac ikori.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
31 A elos su filiya lulalfongi lalos in LEUM GOD Ac fah aksasuyeyuk ku lalos. Elos fah sohkak ke posohksok oana eagle uh, Elos fah kasrusr ac tia totola; Elos fah fahsr ac tia munasla.
But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
