Isaiah 41
1 God El fahk, “Misla ac porongeyu, kowos acn loessula! Akola in fahkak mwe lohngyuk lowos ke pacl in nununku; Ac fah oasr pacl lowos in kaskas. Lela kut in tukeni ac konauk lah su kac pwaye se.
“Be silent before Me, O islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come forward and testify; let us together draw near for judgment.
2 “Su tuh use mwet leum se inge liki acn kutulap, Ac oru elan kutangla yen nukewa el fahsr we? Su sang nu sel kutangla fin tokosra uh ac mutunfacl uh? Cutlass natul pakelosi oana in kutkut pa elos. Mwe pisr natul ukwaloselik oana sruen mah in pacl eng uh tuhme.
Who has aroused one from the east and called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands nations over to him and subdues kings before him. He turns them to dust with his sword, to windblown chaff with his bow.
3 El ukwalos ac fahsrna nu meet tia sensen — Arulana mui, oru oana elan tiana pusral infohk uh!
He pursues them, going on safely, hardly touching the path with his feet.
4 Su oru ma inge in sikyak uh? Su wotela ma in sikyak ke fwil nu ke fwil? Nga, LEUM GOD, nuna oasr oe ke mutawauk me, Ac nga, LEUM GOD, fah oasr pac ke saflaiya.
Who has performed this and carried it out, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD—the first and the last— I am He.”
5 “Mwet yen loessula elos liye tari ma nga orala; Elos tuninfongla ac rarrar ke sangeng. Ouinge elos nukewa tukeni tuku.
The islands see and fear; the ends of the earth tremble. They approach and come forward.
6 Mwet pisrla in orekma elos akasrui ac akkeye sie sin sie.
Each one helps the other and says to his brother, “Be strong!”
7 Mwet kamtu el fahk nu sin mwet orekma ke gold, ‘Wona orekma lom an!’ Mwet se su akfwelye ma sruloala se El akkeye el su folsani nu sie. Elos fahk, ‘Wona fulusyen osra ingan!’ — Na elos patkeni ma sruloala sac nu yen se.
The craftsman encourages the goldsmith, and he who wields the hammer cheers him who strikes the anvil, saying of the welding, “It is good.” He nails it down so it will not be toppled.
8 “Tusruktu kowos, mwet Israel, su mwet kulansap luk, Fwilin tulik natul Abraham, mwet kawuk luk, Kowos pa nga sulela uh.
“But you, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham My friend—
9 Nga uskowosme liki acn loeslana faclu; Nga pangonkowosme liki eng akosr lun faclu, Ac fahk nu suwos, ‘Kowos mwet kulansap luk.’ Nga tiana siskowosla, a nga sulekowosla.
I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.
10 Nimet sangeng — nga wi kowos! Nga God lowos — nimet lela kutena ma in aksangengye kowos. Nga fah kasrekowos ac oru kowos in ku; Nga fah loangekowos ac moli kowos.
Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My right hand of righteousness.
11 “Elos su kasrkusrak suwos ac fah Kutangyukla ac mwekinla. Elos su mweun lain kowos fah misa,
Behold, all who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced; those who contend with you will be reduced to nothing and will perish.
12 Ac elos fah wanginla liki faclu.
You will seek them but will not find them. Those who wage war against you will come to nothing.
13 Nga LEUM GOD lowos; Nga akkeye kowos ac fahk nu suwos, ‘Nik kowos sangeng; nga fah kasrekowos.’”
For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.
14 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, kom finne srik ac munas, Nik kom sangeng; nga fah kasrekom. Nga, God mutal lun Israel, nga pa ac molikomla.
Do not fear, O worm of Jacob, O few men of Israel. I will help you,” declares the LORD. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 Nga fah oru kom in oana sie ipinsak in kulkul wheat Ma oasr wihs sasu ac kosroh kac. Kom fah koe eol uh ac kunausla; Inging uh ac fah mokutkuti.
Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.
16 Kom fah sisak kutkut uh nu yen engyeng uh Ac eng uh ac okla, Na paka ac fah sisalik. Na kom fah engan mweyen nga God lom; Kom fah kaksakinyu, God mutal lun Israel.
You will winnow them, and a wind will carry them away; a gale will scatter them. But you will rejoice in the LORD; you will glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 “Ke pacl mwet luk oasr enenu lalos ke kof Ac kapinsrulyalos paola ke malu, Na nga, LEUM GOD, fah topuk pre lalos. Nga, God lun Israel, fah tiana som lukelos.
The poor and needy seek water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 Nga fah oru infacl uh in soror inmasrlon inging turangang, Ac unon in kof in kahkkak infahlfal uh. Nga fah ekulla yen mwesis nu ke lulu in kof Ac acn pulamlam nu ke unon in kof.
I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs.
19 Nga fah oru sak cedar in kapak yen mwesis Wi pac sak acacia, myrtle, ac olive. Insak lulap ac fah kapak in acn turangang, Ac sak pine, juniper, ac cypress puspis ac fah kap we.
I will plant cedars in the wilderness, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees. I will set cypresses in the desert, elms and boxwood together,
20 Mwet uh ac fah liye ma inge ac etu lah Nga, LEUM GOD, pa oru. Elos ac kalem kac lah God mutal lun Israel pa oru ma inge nukewa.”
so that all may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.”
21 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD, tokosra lun Israel, El fahk: “Kowos god lun mutunfacl uh, fahsru fahkak mwe tukak lowos, Ac use mwe akpwaye nukewa ma oasr yuruwos!
“Present your case,” says the LORD. “Submit your arguments,” says the King of Jacob.
22 Fahsru ac palye lah mea ac sikyak Kut in mau etu ke ac sikyak uh. Fahkak ye mutun mwet nununku ma sikyak in pacl somla Na fahk nu sesr lah mea kalmac.
“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.
23 Fahk nu sesr ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru, Na kut fah etu lah pwaye kowos god! Oru kutu ma wo an, ku use kutu mwe lokoalok an Ma kut ac lut ku sangengla kac!
Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.
24 Kowos arulana wangin sripa, ac wangin ma kowos ku in oru! Mwet nukewa su alu nu suwos elos mwe srungayuk!
Behold, you are nothing and your work is of no value. Anyone who chooses you is detestable.
25 “Nga sulela mukul se su muta in acn kutulap! Nga fah usalu elan mweun epang me. El ac futungya mwet leum uh oana fohk furarrar uh, In oana ke sie mwet orek ahlu fohk el futung fohk kle.
I have raised up one from the north, and he has come— one from the east who calls on My name. He will march over rulers as if they were mortar, like a potter who treads the clay.
26 Su suwos palyeak lah ma inge ac sikyak, Tuh kut fah ku in fahk lah pwaye sum? Tiana sie suwos fahkla sie kas kac — Wangin mwet lohng kowos fahkla kutena ma!
Who has declared this from the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one announced it, no one foretold it, no one heard your words.
27 Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk emeet pweng se inge nu sin Zion. Nga supwala sie mwet utuk kas nu Jerusalem in fahk, ‘Mwet lom elos tuku! Elos foloko nu yen selos!’
I was the first to tell Zion: ‘Look, here they are!’ And I gave to Jerusalem a herald of good news.
28 Ke nga suk inmasrlon god uh, Tia sie selos oasr ma se in fahk; Wangin sie selos ku in topuk ma nga siyuk.
When I look, there is no one; there is no counselor among them; when I ask them, they have nothing to say.
29 Wangin sripen god inge nukewa; Wangin na pwaye ma elos ku in orala. Ma sruloala inge munas ac wangin ku lalos.”
See, they are all a delusion; their works amount to nothing; their images are as empty as the wind.
