Isaiah 45
1 LEUM GOD El sulella Cyrus elan tokosra. El srisrngilya in kutangla mutunfacl pus; El supwalla in eisla wal in tokosra lukelos. LEUM GOD El ac ikasla mutunpot lun siti uh nu sel. Ac El fahk nu sel Cyrus,
Thus says the Lord to my anointed Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, so that I may subjugate the nations before his face, and I may turn the backs of kings, and I may open the doors before him, and so that the gates will not be shut.
2 “Nga sifacna fah akoela inkanek lom, Ac akfwelyela eol uh ac inging uh. Nga fah fukulya mutunpot bronze Ac koteya osra ma sang laki.
I will go before you. And I will humble the glorious ones of the earth. I will shatter the gates of brass, and I will break apart the bars of iron.
3 Nga fah sot nu sum wek saok ma oan in acn lohsr ac lukma; Na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD Ac lah God lun Israel El pangon kom ke inem.
And I will give you hidden treasures and the knowledge of secret things, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls your name.
4 Nga srisrngikomi in kasrel Israel, mwet kulansap luk, Mutanfahl se su nga sulela. Nga ac fah sot nu sum sunak lulap Kom finne tia eteyu.
For the sake of Jacob, my servant, and Israel, my elect, I have even called you by your name. I have taken you up, and you have not known me.
5 “Nga LEUM GOD; wangin sie pac god sayuk. Nga fah sot nu sum ku ma kom enenu an Kom finne tia eteyu.
I am the Lord, and there is no one else. There is no god beside me. I girded you, and you have not known me.
6 Nga oru ma inge tuh mwet nukewa faclu — Kutulap lac nwe roto — Fah etu lah nga LEUM GOD, Ac lah wangin pac sie god saya.
So may those who are from the rising of the sun, and those who are from its setting, know that there is no one beside me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 Nga oralana kewa kalem ac lohsr; Ac nga use na kewa mwe insewowo ac mwe ongoiya. Nga, LEUM GOD, oru ma inge nukewa.
I form the light and create the darkness. I make peace and create disaster. I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 Nga fah oru tuh suwoswos in putati inkusrao me oana af; Faclu ac fah ikakla in eis, Na ac fah farengla ke sukosok ac nununku suwohs. Nga, LEUM GOD, fah oru ma inge in sikyak.”
Send down dew from above, O heavens, and let the clouds rain down upon the just! Let the earth open and spring forth a savior! And let justice rise up at once! I, the Lord, have created him.
9 Ya sie tup kle ku in akukuin nu sin mwet se ma oralla uh — Tup se ma oana tup nukewa saya uh? Ya kle uh ku in siyuk sin mwet orek tup se lah mea el oru uh? Ya tup sac ku in torkaskas mu mwet se oralla uh wangin etu lal?
Woe to him who contradicts his Maker, a mere shard from an earthen vessel! Should the clay say to the potter, “What are you making?” or, “Your work is not made by your hands?”
10 Ya oasr mwet ku in fahk nu sin papa tumal ac nina kial, “Efu ku komtal oreyula ange?”
Woe to him who says to his father, “Why did you conceive?” or to a woman, “Why did you give birth?”
11 LEUM GOD, God mutal lun Israel, El su lumahla pacl fahsru, El fahk: “Wangin suwohs lom in kusen siyuk sik ke tulik nutik, Ku in fahk nu sik ma nga in oru!
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: Would you question me about the future, concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands?
12 Nga pa orala faclu Ac orala mwet uh in muta fac. Ke ku luk, nga asroelik kusrao; Nga pa nununku faht, malem, ac itu uh.
I made the earth, and I created man upon it. My hand stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their hosts.
13 Nga sifacna pa purakulak Cyrus elan mukuila In akfahsrye pwapa luk, ac in aksuwosyela ma tafongla. Nga fah aksuwosyela inkanek nukewa el fahsr we. El ac sifilpa musai Jerusalem, siti luk, Ac aksukosokyela mwet luk su muta in sruoh. Wangin mwet molel ku sang molin eyeinse elan oru ma inge.” LEUM GOD Kulana pa fahk ma inge.
I have raised him up unto justice, and I will direct all his ways. He himself will build my city and release my captives, but not for ransom or gifts, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
14 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Israel, “Mwe kasrup lun Egypt ac Ethiopia ac fah ma lom, Ac mwet loeska in Seba ac fah mwet kohs lom. Elos ac fah kapir ke sein ac fahsr tukum. Elos ac fah pasrla nu sum ac sifacna fahk, ‘God El oasr yurum — El mukena God.
Thus says the Lord: The labor of Egypt, and the business dealings of Ethiopia, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, will pass to you and will be yours. They will walk behind you. They will travel, bound in irons. And they will adore you and petition you: “In you alone is God, and there is no God apart from you.
15 God lun Israel, su molela mwet lal, El sie God su sifacna okanulla.
Truly, you are a hidden God, the God of Israel, the Savior.”
16 Elos nukewa su orala ma sruloala fah mwekin; Elos nukewa ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
They have all been confounded and should be ashamed! These fabricators of errors have departed together into confusion!
17 Tusruktu Israel el moliyukla sin LEUM GOD, Ac kutangla lal oan ma pahtpat; Mwet lal ac fah tiana akmwekinyeyuk.’”
Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation. You will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
18 LEUM GOD El orala kusrao — El na pa God! El lumahla ac orala faclu — El orala in okak ac kawil. El tia orala tuh in sie acn mwesis, A sie acn mwet uh ku in muta we. El pa fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD Ac wangin pac sie god sayuk.
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it. He did not create it to no purpose. He formed it so that it would be inhabited. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
19 Nga tia kaskas in lukma, Ku okanla sripa luk. Nga tia sapkin mwet Israel In sukyu in sie acn mwesis. Nga pa LEUM GOD, ac nga fahk ma pwaye. Nga oru in kalem ma su suwohs.”
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in vain.” I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
20 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahsreni nu sie, kowos nukewa su Kaingla liki kais sie mutunfacl suwos. Fahsru utyak nu ke pacl in nununku! Mwet su fahsr inkanek uh ac kolak ma sruloala kihl lalos, Ac pre nu sin god ma tia ku in molelosla — Mwet ingan wangin na pwaye etu lalos!
Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, you who have been saved among the Gentiles. They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, and who petition a god unable to save.
21 Fahsru ac akkalemye sripa lowos ye mutun mwet nununku. Lela mwet su suk kasru in alolngoki sie sin sie. Su tuh palyeak in pacl somla ma ac sikyak uh? Ya tia nga, LEUM GOD, su molela mwet lal? Wangin god saya.
Announce it, and approach, and consult together. Who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time? Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
22 “Mwet faclu nufon, Forma nu sik, tuh kowos in moliyukla. Nga mukena pa God — wangin pac sie saya.
All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved. For I am God, and there is no other.
23 Wulela luk uh pwaye — Ac fah tiana ekla. Nga fulahk nu suwos ke Inek sifacna: Mwet nukewa fah tuku ac sikukmutunte ye mutuk, Ac wulela ku tuh elos ac pwayena nu sik.
I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, and it will not turn back. For every knee shall bend to me, and every tongue shall swear it.
24 “Elos ac fah fahk lah suwoswos ac ku Koneyukyak yuruk mukena; A elos nukewa su srungayu fah arulana mwekin.
Therefore, he will say, “In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.” They will go to him. And all who fight against him will be confounded.
25 Nga, LEUM GOD, fah molela fwilin tulik natul Jacob nukewa, Ac elos fah kaksakinyu.
In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel will be justified and praised.
