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.”
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for 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!
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight 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 exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places 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.
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? 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 spirit 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 Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, 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 with strong [hand], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work 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.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.
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 directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counsellor hath taught 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 judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
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, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
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 to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 Mutunfacl uh ma na lusrongten se sel.
All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, 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 workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth 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.
He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved.
21 Ya kom tia etu? Ya tiana fwackot nu sum oemeet? Kom tiana lohng lah faclu mutawauk fuka?
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from 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 upon 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 the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
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.
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take 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, or shall I 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 behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, 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 judgment 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? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
29 El akkeyalos su munas ac totola.
He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] 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 upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
