Isaiah 40
1 “Akwoye mwet luk,” God lasr El fahk. “Kowos in akwoyalos!
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says 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 to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare has been completed, That her punishment has been accepted, That she has received from the hand of YHWH 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!
A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, Make straight in a 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 is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place has become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
5 Na wolana lun LEUM GOD fah akkalemyeyukla, Ac mwet e nukewa fah liye. LEUM GOD sifacna El wulela ouinge.”
And the glory of YHWH has been revealed, And all flesh have seen [it] together, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
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.
A voice is saying, “Call,” And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness [Is] as a 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.
Grass has withered, the flower faded, For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, Surely the people [is] grass;
8 Aok, mah uh uli ac ros uh efla, A kas lun God lasr oan ma pahtpat.”
Grass has withered, the flower faded, But a word of our God rises forever.
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!
Get up on a high mountain, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up your voice with power, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, do not fear, say to cities of Judah, “Behold, your God.”
10 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El tuku in leumi ke ku, Ac us mwet El molela uh welul.
Behold, Lord YHWH comes with strength, And His arm is ruling for Him, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage 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 feeds His flock as a shepherd, He gathers lambs with His arm, And He carries [them] in His bosom: He leads suckling ones.
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 has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And has meted out the heavens by a span, And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, And has 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 has meted out the Spirit of YHWH, And [being] His counselor, teaches Him?
14 Su God El lutlut se Tuh Elan ku in etu Ac kalem lah El ac oru fuka ma uh?
With whom [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know 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, nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, And have been reckoned as small dust of the balance, Behold, He takes up islands as a small 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 its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
17 Mutunfacl uh ma na lusrongten se sel.
All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
18 Su ac ku in lumweyuk God nu kac? Kom ac aketeya fuka lah El oana mea?
And to whom do you liken God, And what likeness do you compare to 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.
An artisan has poured out the carved image, And a refiner spreads it over with gold, And he is refining chains of silver.
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 who is poor [by] raised-offerings, Chooses a tree [that is] not rotten, He seeks a skillful artisan for it, To establish a carved image—not moved.
21 Ya kom tia etu? Ya tiana fwackot nu sum oemeet? Kom tiana lohng lah faclu mutawauk fuka?
Do you not know—do you not hear? Has it not been declared from the first to you? Have you 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.
He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out the heavens as a thin thing, And spreads them as a tent to dwell in.
23 El sisya mwet leum na ku Ac aksrikyelosla nu ke ma na lusrongten.
He who is making princes become nothing, Has made judges of earth formless;
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.
Indeed, they have not been planted, Indeed, they have not been sown, Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, And He has also blown on them, and they wither, And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
25 Su God mutal El ac ku in lumweyuk nu se? Oasr sie pac saya oana El?
And to whom do you liken Me, And [to whom] I equal? Says 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 has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls to all of them by name, By the abundance of His strength And mighty power, Not one is lacking.
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 say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, And from my God my judgment passes over?”
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.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
29 El akkeyalos su munas ac totola.
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increases might.
30 Finne elos su fusr, elos munasla; Mwet fusr uh ku in totola ac ikori.
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
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 those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
