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 chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2 El ac tia wowo ku srukak pusracl, Ku liksreni sramsram inkanek uh.
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it 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.
He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
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 will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands 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,
God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
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 you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7 Kom ac fah sang liyaten nu sin mwet kun, Ac aksukosokyalosla su kapir in acn lohsr.
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
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. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved 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 happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
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, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands 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 raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela 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 islands.
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 out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over 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 been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
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 destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and 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.
I will bring the blind by a way that they don’t know. I will lead them in paths that they don’t know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will 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.”
“Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongo, kowos mwet sulohngkas! Liye akwoya, kowos mwet kun!
“Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you 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 who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as 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?”
You see many things, but don’t observe. His ears are open, but he doesn’t listen.
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.
It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honourable.
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 robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 Su inmasrlowos ac porongo ma inge? Ya kowos ac ku in mutawauk ingela in lohng akwoya?
Who is there amongst you who will give ear to this? Who will listen 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 as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Didn’t the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed 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 poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he didn’t know. It burnt him, but he didn’t take it to heart.”
