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 the LORD who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel, says: “Don’t be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are 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 you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.
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 the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
4 Nga fuhleak mutunfacl puspis in molela moul lom, Mweyen kom saok sik Ac mweyen nga lungse kom ac akfulatye kom.
Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you, therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.
5 Nimet sangeng — nga wi kom! “Liki acn loesla nu kutulap ac roto, Nga ac folokonma mwet lom nu yen selos.
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you 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 tell the north, ‘Give them up!’ and tell the south, ‘Don’t hold them back! Bring my sons from far away, and my daughters from the ends of the earth—
7 Elos mwet luk, Ac nga oralosla in akyokye wolana luk.”
everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have 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 out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have 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 let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified, or let them hear, and say, “That 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.
“You are my witnesses,” says the LORD, “With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.
11 “Nga mukena pa LEUM GOD, Nga mukena pa ku in molikowosla.
I myself am the LORD. Besides me, there is no savior.
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, I have saved, and I have shown, and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses”, says the LORD, “and 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.”
Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”
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.
The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Kasdim, in the ships of their rejoicing.
15 Nga LEUM GOD, God mutal lowos. Nga orekowosla, mwet Israel, ac nga tokosra lowos.”
I am the LORD, 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.
The LORD, who makes 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!
who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick) says:
18 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nimet sripsripla nu ke ma sikyak in pacl somla, Ku sruokyana ma sikyak meet ah.
“Don’t remember the former things, and don’t consider the things of old.
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 will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers 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 animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers 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!”
the people which I formed for myself, that they might declare my praise.
22 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Tusruktu, Israel, kom totola sik Ac tiana alu nu sik.
Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, 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.
You have not brought me any of your sheep for burnt offerings, neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.
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.
You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices, but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your 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, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your 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. Declare your case, that you may be justified.
27 Papa matu tomom oemeet ah el orekma koluk, Mwet kol lom elos orekma koluk lainyu,
Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed 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 I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult.”
