Isaiah 42
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pa inge mwet kulansap luk su nga akkeye — Sie su nga sulela, ac nga insewowo sel. Nga nwakulla ke ngunik, Ac el fah use nununku suwohs nu fin mutunfacl nukewa.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 El ac tia wowo ku srukak pusracl, Ku liksreni sramsram inkanek uh.
He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 El fah tia koteya soko loa ma kurula, Ku konela sie lam ma srik fulac. El fah use nununku suwohs ac kawil nu sin mwet nukewa.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 El fah tia fuhleak finsrak lal, ac pulaik lal ac tia munasla; El fah oakiya nununku suwohs fin faclu. Facl loessula elos rarala in lohng luti lal.”
He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he hath set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 God El orala kusrao ac asroelik. El lumahla faclu ac ma nukewa fac. El sang moul ac momong nu sin mwet nukewa. Ac inge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal,
Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and expanded them; he that spread forth the earth, and that which it produceth; he that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.
6 “Nga, LEUM GOD, pangon kom ac asot ku nu sum In liyaung tuh nununku suwohs in orek fin faclu. Keim nga fah oru sie wuleang yurin mwet nukewa; Keim nga fah use kalem nu sin mutunfaclu.
I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 Kom ac fah sang liyaten nu sin mwet kun, Ac aksukosokyalosla su kapir in acn lohsr.
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8 “Nga mukena pa LEUM GOD. Wangin god saya fah ipeis ke wolana luk. Nga fah tia lela ma sruloala in ipeis ke kaksak ma orek nu sik.
I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Ma nga palye meeta, inge akpwayeiyuk. Ac inge nga ac fahkak nu suwos ke kutu ma sasu Meet liki na ma inge ac sikyak.”
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Yuk soko on sasu nu sin LEUM GOD; On kaksakunul, faclu nufon! Kaksakunul, kowos su kalkal meoa; Kaksakunul, ma moul nukewa in kof uh! Kowos nukewa su muta yen loessula, kowos in wi pac on.
Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the isles, and their inhabitants.
11 Lela yen mwesis ac siti we in kaksakin God; Lela mwet Kedar in kaksakunul! Lela mwet su muta in siti Sela In sasa ke engan liki mangon eol uh!
Let the wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Lela elos su muta in acn loessula In sang kaksak ac wolana nu sin LEUM GOD!
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the isles.
13 LEUM GOD El illa oana sie mwet mweun watwen; El akola ac kena tari mweun. El foloyak ac sala ke sa in katkat; El fahkak kuiyal in lain mwet lokoalok lal.
The LORD will go forth as a mighty man, he will stir up jealousy like a man of war: he will cry, yes, roar; he will prevail against his enemies.
14 God El fahk, “In pacl na loeloes nga misla ac tiana kas; Nga tiana topuk mwet luk. Tusruktu inge pacl luk in mukuila. Nga wowoyak oana sie mutan su akola in isus.
I have long time held my peace; I have been still, [and] restrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 Nga fah kunausla eol ac inging uh, Ac oru tuh mah ac sak uh in masla. Nga fah ekulla infacl ke infahlfal uh nu ke acn mwesis, Ac oru lulu in kof uh in paola.
I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers [to be] islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 “Nga fah pwen mwet kun luk ke inkanek ma elos soenna fahsr kac meet. Nga fah ekulla lohsr lalos nu ke kalem, Ac oru acn siruprup in fwella ye mutalos. Nga wulela ouinge, Ac nga fah taranna in tia sutuela.
And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do for them, and not forsake them.
17 Elos nukewa su lulalfongi ke ma sruloala, Su pangon ma orekla ke poun mwet pa god lalos, Ac fah akmwekinyeyuk ac elos fah tonongla.”
They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our gods.
18 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongo, kowos mwet sulohngkas! Liye akwoya, kowos mwet kun!
Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Ya oasr mwet sulongin yohk liki mwet kulansap luk, Ku sulohngkas liki mwet utuk kas su nga supu uh?
Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?
20 Israel, arulana yohk ma kom liye tari, A mea kalmac nu sum? Oasr srem in lohng, Tuh mea na pwaye kom lohng uh?”
Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 LEUM GOD El sie God su kena molela mwet uh. Ouinge El akfulatye ma sap lal ac luti lal, Ac El kena mwet lal in wi pac akfulatye ma inge.
The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make [it] honorable.
22 Tusruktu oasr mwet utyak ac kunausla ma nukewa lun mwet lal. Kauli elos in acn lohsr ye fohk uh, Ac wikinyukla elos ke acn in kapir. Ma lalos uh pisrapasrla ac wapiyukla, A wangin mwet in molelosla.
But this [is] a people robbed and pillaged; [they are] all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses; they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Su inmasrlowos ac porongo ma inge? Ya kowos ac ku in mutawauk ingela in lohng akwoya?
Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken, and hear for the time to come?
24 Su fuhleang Israel nu inpoun mwet pisrapasr uh? LEUM GOD sifacna, su kut orekma koluk lainul! Kut tia moul fal nu ke lungse lal Ku akos mwe luti lal nu sesr.
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient to his law.
25 Ke ma inge El lela kut in pulakin ku lun kasrkusrak lal, Ac sun mwe keok lun mweun uh. Kasrkusrak lal uh firir oana sie e fin acn Israel nufon, A kut tiana kalem ke ma sikyak inge. Wanginna ma kut etala kac.
Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire around, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.
