< Isaiah 50 >
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu nga supwala mwet luk in som likiyu Oana sie mukul su sisla mutan kial? Na, pia pwepu in fahsrelik an? Ya kowos nunku mu nga tuh kukakin kowos in akfalye soemoul luk, Oana sie mwet su kukakin tulik natul tuh elos in mwet kohs? Mo, kowos tuh som nu in sruoh ke sripen ma koluk lowos; Nga supwekowosla ke sripen orekma koluk lowos.
Thus says the Lord, Of what kind is your mother's bill of divorcement, by which I put her away? or to which debtor have I sold you? Behold, you are sold for your sins, and for your iniquities have I put your mother away.
2 “Efu ku mwet luk uh tia porongeyu Ke nga som nu yorolos in molelos? Efu elos ku tia topuk pacl se nga pang? Mea, nga arulana munas in molelosla? Nga ku in akpaoyela meoa ke sap na luk, Ac oru tuh infacl uh in ekla nu ke acn mwesis, Na ik loac fah misa mweyen lisr kof.
Why did I come, and there was no man? [why] did I call, and there was none to listen? Is not my hand strong to redeem? or can I not deliver? behold, by my rebuke I will dry up the sea, and make rivers a wilderness; and their fish shall be dried up because there is no water, and shall die for thirst.
3 Nga ku in oru yen engyeng uh in lohsrla, In oana elan asor ke sie mwet misa.”
I will clothe the sky with darkness, and will make its covering as sackcloth.
4 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El lutiyu ma nga in fahk, Tuh nga in ku in akkeye mwet munas. Lotutang nukewa El oru nga in kena Tari lohng ma El ac lutiyu kac.
The Lord [even] God gives me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: he has appointed for me early, he has given me an ear to hear:
5 LEUM GOD El ase etauk nu sik, Ac nga tiana lainul Ku forla lukel.
and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens mine ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.
6 Nga fuhlelana elos in sringil fintukuk. Nga tia kutongolos ke elos fahk kas in akkolukyeyu Ac fis unen alut luk Ac ani nu in mutuk.
I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting:
7 Tusruktu kas in akkoluk lalos koflana akmunasyeyu Mweyen LEUM GOD Fulatlana El kasreyu. Nga sikulyuwi na ku, tuh nga in muteng ma elos oru. Nga etu lah nga ac tia akmwekinyeyuk,
but the Lord God became my helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set my face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed,
8 Mweyen God El apkuran nu sik, Ac El fah akpwayei lah wangin ma koluk luk. Ya oasr mwet ac pulaik in orek tukak keik? Lela nga el in tukeni som nu ke nununku! Lela elan fahk tukak lal an we!
for he that has justified me draws near; who is he that pleads with me? let him stand up against me at the same time: yes, who is he that pleads with me? let him draw near to me.
9 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ac loangeyu, Na su ku in akpwayei lah oasr ma koluk luk? Mwet nukewa ma orek tukak keik ac wanginla, Elos ac wanginla oana sie ipin nuknuk ma watilla uh.
Behold, the Lord, the Lord, will help me; who will hurt me? behold, all you shall wax old as a garment, and a moth shall devour you.
10 Kowos nukewa su akfulatye LEUM GOD Ac akos kas lun mwet kulansap lal, Sahp ac ku in lohsr inkanek ma kowos fahsr kac, Tusruktu lulalfongina in LEUM GOD, ac fungyang nu sel.
Who is amongst you that fears the Lord? let him listen to the voice of his servant: you that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God.
11 Kowos nukewa su oru pwapa koluk in kunausla mwet saya Ac fah kunausyukla ke pwapa koluk lowos. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in ouinge. Ke saflaiya uh kowos ac fah keok ke mwe ongoiya na koluk.
Behold, you all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which you have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; you shall lie down in sorrow.
