Isaiah 46
1 “Pa inge saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon! Meet, mwet uh alu nu ke Bel ac Nebo, A inge touyak ma sruloala ingan nu fin donkey, Na ke toasr ma sruloala uh, donkey uh totola.
Bel sinketh down; Nebo falleth; Their images are laid upon beasts and cattle; Those that ye once bore are packed upon them; A burden to the weary beast!
2 Ma sruloala inge tia ku in sifacna molelosla. Sruoh elos ac utukla. Saflaiyen god nukewa lun Babylon pa inge!
They sink down; they fall together; They cannot rescue the burden; They themselves go into captivity.
3 “Porongeyu, fwilin tulik natul Jacob, Kowos nukewa su lula sin mwet luk. Nga nuna karingin kowos oe ke kowos isusla ah me.
Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of the house of Israel; Ye that have been borne by me from your birth, That have been carried by me from your earliest breath!
4 Nga pa God lowos ac nga fah karingin kowos Nwe ke na kowos matuoh ac fiayala. Nga orekowosla ac nga fah karingin kowos. Nga fah kasrekowos ac molikowosla.”
Even to your old age I am the same; Even to hoar hairs I will carry you; I have done it, and I will still bear you; I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su kowos ac lumweyu nu kac? Ya oasr sie saya oana nga?
To whom will ye liken me, and compare me? Yea, to whom will ye compare me, that we may be like?
6 Mwet uh ikasla pak lalos ac okoala gold uh liki; Elos pauniya silver ke mwe paun. Elos moli nu sin sie mwet orekma ke gold elan orala sie god, Na elos epasr ac alu nu kac.
They lavish gold out of the bag, And weigh silver in the balance; They hire a goldsmith, and he maketh it a god; They fall down, yea, they worship it.
7 Elos srukak nu finpisalos ac us fahsr. Elos ac tulokinya ke sie acn, ac el tu we — Tia ku in mukuila liki acn sac. Kutena mwet fin alu nu kac, ma sruloala sac tia ku in topuk, Ku molella liki ongoiya.
They lift him upon the shoulder, and carry him; They set him in his place, and there he standeth; From his place he moveth not; Yea, one may cry to him, yet doth he not answer, Nor save him out of his distress.
8 “Kowos mwet koluk, esam ma se inge; Nunku ke ma nga orala uh.
Remember these things, and show yourselves men; Lay them to heart, ye apostates!
9 Esam ma sikyak pacl loeloes somla. Kowos in etu lah nga mukena pa God, Ac wangin sie saya oana nga.
Remember the former things in ancient times! For I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.
10 Nga tuh fahkak na emeet ke ma ac sikyak in pacl tok uh. In pacl loeloes somla nga fahkak mea ac fah tuku. Nga tuh fahk lah pwapa luk ac tia ku in tafongla. Ac nga fah oru ma nukewa fal nu ke ma lungse luk.
Declaring the end from the beginning; From ancient times the things that were not yet done; Saying, My purpose shall stand, And I will do all my pleasure;
11 Nga ac pangon sie mwet in tuku kutulap me. El ac pwesrouli oana sie eagle, Ac orala ma ng oakiya in orekla. Nga fahk tari, ac ma nga fahk uh ac fah orekla.
Calling from the East the eagle, The man that executeth my purpose from a far country; I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
12 “Porongeyu, kowos mwet likkeke, Su nunku mu kutangla uh arulana loesla liki kowos.
Hearken to me, ye stubborn-hearted, That are far from deliverance!
13 Nga ac use len in kutangla in apkuran — Tiana loes liki kowos. Kutangla luk fah tia ikolyuki. Nga fah molela Jerusalem, Ac oru in akfulatyeyuk Israel in acn we.”
I have brought near my deliverance; it is not far off; My salvation shall not tarry; I will give to Zion salvation, To Israel, my glory.
