Isaiah 43
1 Israel, LEUM GOD su orekomla El fahk, “Nimet sangeng — nga molikomla tari. Nga pangon kom ke inem — ac kom ma luk.
But now thus saith Jehovah, that created thee, O Jacob, That formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee; I have called thee by name; thou art mine!
2 Ke kom fahsr sasla in kof loal uh, nga fah wi kom, Ac ke kom fahsr sasla infacl uh, kof uh fah tia afinkomla. Pacl kom fahsr sasla in e uh, kom fah tia folla. Ac kosran e uh fah tia isikkomyak.
When thou passest through waters, I will be with thee; And through rivers, they shall not overflow thee; When thou walkest through fire, thou shalt not be burned, And the flame shall not consume thee.
3 Tuh nga LEUM GOD lom, God mutal lun Israel, su molikomla. Nga aksukosokyekomla, ac nga sang acn Egypt, Ethiopia ac Seba in molikomla.
For I am Jehovah, thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy saviour. I will give Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee;
4 Nga fuhleak mutunfacl puspis in molela moul lom, Mweyen kom saok sik Ac mweyen nga lungse kom ac akfulatye kom.
Because thou art precious in my sight, Because thou art honored, and I love thee, Therefore will I give men for thee, And nations for thy life.
5 Nimet sangeng — nga wi kom! “Liki acn loesla nu kutulap ac roto, Nga ac folokonma mwet lom nu yen selos.
Fear not, for I am with thee! I will bring thy children from the East, And gather thee from the West.
6 Nga ac fahk nu sin acn epang in fuhlelosla, Ac nu sin acn eir in tia sruokolos. Lela mwet luk in foloko liki fahl loessula, Liki acn nukewa fin faclu.
I will say to the North, “Give them up!” And to the South, “Withhold them not! Bring my sons from afar, And my daughters from the ends of the earth;
7 Elos mwet luk, Ac nga oralosla in akyokye wolana luk.”
Every one that is called by my name, That I have created for my glory, That I have formed and made!”
8 God El fahk, “Pangoneni mwet luk nu in nien nununku. Oasr mutalos, tusruktu elos tia liye; Oasr sraclos, a elos tia lohng!
Bring forth the blind people, having eyes, And the deaf, having ears.
9 Pangon mutunfacl uh in tuku nu ke nununku. Ya ma sruloala lalos ku in palye ma ac sikyak ke pacl fahsru? Su selos fahkak meet ma sikyak in pacl inge? Elos in sifacna use mwet loh lalos In tuh akpwayei kas lalos, Ac in akkeye ma elos fahk an.
Let all the nations be gathered together, And the kingdoms be assembled! Who among them hath declared this, And can show us former predictions? Let them produce their witnesses that they are right; That men may hear, and say, It is true!
10 “Mwet Israel, kowos mwet loh luk; Nga sulekowosla tuh kowos in mwet kulansap luk, Ac tuh kowos in eteyu ac lulalfongiyu, Ac kowos in kalem kac lah nga God sefanna. Wangin pac sie god sayuk; Nuna wangin oemeet me — ac fah wangin pac nwe tok.
Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, And my servant whom I have chosen, That ye may know and believe me, And understand that I am He. Before me was no god formed, And after me there shall be none.
11 “Nga mukena pa LEUM GOD, Nga mukena pa ku in molikowosla.
I, I am Jehovah, And besides me there is no saviour.
12 Nga tuh fahkak meet ma ac fah sikyak, Na nga tuku in kasrekowos. Wangin god lun mutunfacl saya nu oru ouiya inge; Kowos mwet loh luk.
I have declared and have saved; I made it known, when there was no strange god among you; Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, That I am God.
13 Nga pa God, inge ac nwe tok. Wangin mwet ku in kaingla liki ku luk; Ac wangin mwet ku in ekulla ma nga oru.”
Even from the beginning of time I have been He, And none can rescue from my hand; I undertake, and who can hinder?
14 God mutal lun Israel, LEUM GOD su molikowosla, El fahk, “Ke sripowos, nga fah supwala sie un mwet mweun in lain acn Babylon. Nga fah kunausla mutunpot lun siti we. Pusren sasa in engan lun mwet we fah ekla nu ke pusren tung.
Thus saith Jehovah, Your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sakes have I sent to Babylon, And caused all her fugitives, And the Chaldeans, to descend to the ships of their delight.
15 Nga LEUM GOD, God mutal lowos. Nga orekowosla, mwet Israel, ac nga tokosra lowos.”
I, Jehovah, am your Holy One, The creator of Israel, your king.
16 LEUM GOD El tuh orala innek soko sasla in meoa uh, Soko inkanek ma sasla in kof lulap.
Thus saith Jehovah, —He that made a way in the sea, And a path in the mighty waters,
17 El kolla sie un mwet mweun kulana nu ke ongoiya, Un chariot ac horse puspis Elos putatla, ac tiana ku in sifil tuyak. Moul lalos wanginla, oana firir lun sie lam ma kuniyukla!
That caused the chariot and the horse, the army and the forces, to march forth; There they lay down together; they rose no more; They were extinguished; they were quenched like a torch; —
18 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nimet sripsripla nu ke ma sikyak in pacl somla, Ku sruokyana ma sikyak meet ah.
Remember not the former things; The things of old regard no more!
19 Tupanang ma na sasu se nga ac oru. Mutawauk tari — kowos ku in liye inge. Nga ac oru soko inkanek sasla yen mwesis, Ac orala in oasr infacl in acn musrasra.
Behold, I do a new thing; Now shall it spring forth; yea, ye shall see it. Behold, I make a way in the wilderness, And streams in the desert;
20 Kosro lemnak uh ac fah akfulatyeyu; Jackal ac ostrich fah kaksakinyu Ke nga fah oru infacl uh in soror yen mwesis In sang kof nu sin mwet solla luk.
The beasts of the forest shall honor me, The jackals and the ostriches; For I make rivers in the wilderness And streams in the desert, To give drink to my people, my chosen.
21 Elos inge nga orala in ma na luk, Ac elos fah yuk on in kaksak nu sik!”
This people, which I have formed for myself Shall make known my praise.
22 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tusruktu, Israel, kom totola sik Ac tiana alu nu sik.
Yet thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, So as to have wearied thyself for me, O Israel!
23 Kom tia use sheep nutum in mwe kisa firir lom nu sik. Kom tia akfulatyeyu ke mwe kisa lom. Nga tiana akkohsye kom in sapkin ke mwe sang, Ku aktotoye kom ke nga siyuk mwe keng sum.
Thou hast not brought me thy lambs for a burnt-offering, Nor honored me with thy sacrifices; I have not burdened thee with oblations, Nor wearied thee with incense;
24 Kom tia moli mwe keng nu sik Ac tia pac akenganyeyu ke kiris ke kosro nutum. A kom aktoasryeyu ke orekma koluk lom; Kom aktotoyeyu ke ma sutuu ma kom orala.
Thou hast bought me no sweet-smelling reed with silver, Neither hast thou satisfied me with the fat of thy sacrifices; With thy sins hast thou burdened me, And wearied me with thine iniquities.
25 Ne ouinge, nga pa God se su eela ma koluk lom, Ac nga oru ouinge mweyen nga pa God. Nga fah tia esam ma koluk lom.
I, I myself, blot out thy transgressions for my own sake, And will not remember thy sins.
26 “Fahsru kut som nu ke acn in nununku. Srukak mwe tukak lom! Fahkak sripa nukewa lom in akpwayei lah kom pa suwohs uh!
Put me in remembrance; let us plead together; Speak that thou mayst justify thyself.
27 Papa matu tomom oemeet ah el orekma koluk, Mwet kol lom elos orekma koluk lainyu,
Thy forefathers sinned, And thy teachers were rebellious against me;
28 Ac mwet leum lom aktaekyala acn mutal sik. Ouinge nga kunausla acn Israel; Ac nga lela tuh in aklusrongtenyeyuk mwet luk.”
Therefore have I profaned the princes of the sanctuary, And given up Jacob to a curse, And Israel to reproach.
