Isaiah 51
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Porongeyu, kowos su lungse moulla, Kowos su tuku nu yuruk in suk kasru. Nunku ke eot su kowos tuku kac me, Ac ke lufin eot ma tafleyukla kowos kac.
Hearken unto me, Ye that pursue righteousness, Ye that seek Yahweh, —Look well unto the rock whence ye were hewn, And unto the quarry whence ye were digged:
2 Nunku kacl Abraham, papa matu tomowos, Ac kacl Sarah, su oswekowosla. Ke pacl se nga tuh pangnol Abraham, srakna wangin tulik natul. Tusruktu nga akinsewowoyal ac sang tulik natul. Nga akpusye pac fwilin tulik natul.
Look well unto Abraham your father, And unto Sarah who gave you birth, —For he was, alone, when called I him, And, I blessed him that I might make him, many.
3 “Nga ac fah akkalemye pakomuta luk nu sin Jerusalem, Nu selos nukewa su muta in siti lalos ma musalla. Acn we finne sie acn mwesis, nga fah oru tuh in sie ima, Oana ima se nga yukwiya Eden. Engan ac insewowo ac fah oasr we, Wi on in kaksak ac kulo nu sik.
For Yahweh hath comforted Zion, He hath comforted all her waste places, And hath made her wilderness like Eden, And her waste plain like the garden of Yahweh, —Joy and gladness, shall be found in her, Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
4 Porongeyu, mwet luk, Porongo ma nga fahk uh. Nga sang mwe luti luk nu sin mutunfacl pus; Ma sap luk fah sang kalem nu selos.
Attend unto me, O my people, And, O, my nation unto me give ear, —For, instruction, from me, shall go forth, And, my justice—for a light of peoples, will I establish:
5 Nga fah sa in tuku ac molelosla. Pacl in kutangla luk apkuranme. Nga sifacna fah leumi mutunfacl uh. Acn loessula soano nga in tuku. Elos tupan ke finsrak tuh nga in molelosla.
At hand is my righteousness. Gone forth hath my salvation, And, mine own arms, unto the peoples, shall give justice, —Upon me, Coastlands, shall wait, And for mine arm, shall they hope.
6 Ngetak ac liye kusrao; ac liye pac faclu! Kusrao fah wanginla oana kulasr uh; Ac faclu fah kulawi oana nuknuk mahi uh, Ac mwet we nukewa fah misa oana loang uh. Tusruktu lango su nga ac use fah oanna nwe tok. Kutangla luk fah tiana safla.
Lift up—to the heavens—your eyes, And look around to the earth beneath Though, the heavens, like smoke, should have vanished And, the earth, like a garment, should fall to pieces, And, her inhabitants, in like manner, should die, Yet, my salvation, unto times age-abiding, shall continue, And, my righteousness, shall not be broken down.
7 “Porongeyu, kowos su etu ma suwohs, Ac su eis mwe luti luk ac oakiya insia. Nimet sangeng ke mwet uh angon kowos ac fahk kas in akkolukye kowos.
Hearken unto me ye who discern righteousness, The people in whose heart is my law, —Do not fear the reproach of frail men, Nor at their revilings, be dismayed;
8 Elos ac wanginla oana nuknuk ma watil uh kangla. Tusruktu molela su nga use ac fah oan nwe tok. Kutangla luk ac fah oan ke fwil nu ke fwil.”
For like a garment, shall they be eaten of the moth, And like wool, shall they be eaten of the larva; But, my righteousness, unto times age-abiding shall continue, And, my salvation, unto the remotest generation.
9 LEUM GOD, ngutalik ac kasrekut! Orekmakin ku lom ac molikutla; Orekmakin oana ke kom tuh oru in pacl oemeet ah. Kom pa tuh pakpakilya Rahab, wet lulap soko meoa, nu ke ip srisrik.
Awake, awake put on strength, O arm of Yahweh, Awake, As in days of old, The generations of bygone ages: Art not thou that which—Hewed down Rahab, Piercing the Crocodile?
10 Kom pac pa tuh akpaoyela meoa ah, Ac orala innek soko sasla inkof uh, Tuh elos su kom ac molela in ku in fahsr kac.
Art not thou that which dried up—The Sea, The waters of the mighty Deep, —That which made of the abysses of the sea a road for the passing over of the redeemed?
11 Elos su kom tuh molela Fah sun acn Jerusalem ke engan. Elos fah alullul ac sasa ke engan. Elos ac fah engan ma pahtpat, Sukosokla liki asor ac sasao nwe tok.
Therefore, the ransomed of Yahweh, shall again come unto Zion, with shouts of triumph, With gladness age-abiding on their head, —Joy, and gladness, shall overtake [them]. Sorrow and sighing have fled away.
12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga pa akkeye kowos. Efu ku kowos in sangeng sin mwet ma sukawil moul la, Su ac sa na uli oana mah uh?
I—I, am he that comforteth you, —Who art, thou, that thou hast feared Frail man that dieth, and A son of the earthborn, who, as grass, shall be delivered up?
13 Ya kowos mulkunla LEUM GOD su orekowosla, Su laknelik kusrao, Ac oakiya pwelung lun faclu? Efu ku kowos in muta in sangeng pacl nukewa Ke folo lalos su akkeokye kowos — Elos su akola in kunauskowosla? Kaskusrak lalos tia ku in sifil tuku nu fowos.
That thou hast forgotten Yahweh thy maker, Who stretched out the heavens And founded the earth? That thou hast dreaded continually, all the day, by reason of the fury of the oppressor, in that he was ready to destroy? Where then is the fury of the oppressor?
14 Ac tia paht, elos su muta in kapir ac fah aksukosokyeyukla. Elos ac moul arulana paht, Ac ac fah oasr na mongo nalos.
The captive hath hastened to be loosed, —That he might not die in the pit. Neither should, his bread, be cut off.
15 “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos. Nga mokleak meoa Ac oru noa uh in ngirngir. Inek pa LEUM GOD Kulana!
But, I—Yahweh, am thy God, Who threw into commotion the sea And the waves thereof roared, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
16 Nga asroelik kusrao Ac oakiya pwelung lun faclu: Nga fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem, ‘Kowos mwet luk! Nga asot tari mwe luti luk nu suwos, Ac nga loangekowos ke pouk.’”
Therefore have I put my words in thy mouth, And with the shadow of my hand, have I covered thee, —To plant the heavens, and To lay the foundations of the earth, and To say unto Zion My people, thou art!
17 Jerusalem, ngutalik! Sifacna tukaskomyak ac tuyak! Kom numla tari cup in kaiyuk Su LEUM GOD El sot nu sum in numla ke sripen kasrkusrak lal; Kom tuh numla, oru kom tukulkul.
Rouse thee—rouse, thee stand up, O Jerusalem, Who hast drunk, at the hand of Yahweh, his cup of indignation: The goblet-cup of confusion, hast thou drunk—hast thou drained.
18 Wangin mwet ac fah pwen kom, Wangin sie inmasrlon wen nutum Ac sruokya poum in kasrekom.
There is none to guide her, Among all the sons she hath borne, —There is none to grasp her hand, Among all the sons she hath brought up.
19 Oasr mwe ongoiya luo putati fom: Facl sum sikiyukla ke mweun, Ac mwet lom misa ke masrinsral. Wanginla mwet in pakomutom.
Twain, are the things befalling thee, Who will lament for thee? Wasting and destruction and famine and sword By whom shall I comfort thee?
20 Ke insruwasrik in inkanek nukewa Mwet lom elos ikori ke munasla lalos. Elos oana deer ma srifusryuki sin mwet sruh kosro. Elos pulakin kuiyen kaskusrak lun God.
Thy sons, have fainted, They lie at the head of all the streets like a gazelle in a net, —Who, indeed, are full of The indignation of Yahweh The rebuke of thy God.
21 Kowos mwet keok in Jerusalem, Kowos su tukulkul oana mwet sruhi,
Therefore, hear, I pray thee, this, thou humbled one, —And drunken but not with wine: —
22 LEUM GOD lowos El loangekowos ac fahk, “Nga eisla cup se ma Nga tuh sot nu suwos ke nga kaskusrak ah. Kowos ac tia enenu in sifil nim Wain se ma oru kowos tukulkul.
Thus, saith Thy Lord, Yahweh, Even thy God who pleadeth the cause of his people: —Lo! I have taken, out of thy hand, the cup of confusion, —As for the goblet-cup of mine indignation, Thou shalt not again drink it, any more;
23 Nga ac fah sang cup sac nu selos su tuh akkeokye kowos, Nu selos su oru kowos oan fin inkanek uh Na elos fahsr fowos oana infohk uh pa kowos.”
But I will put it into the hand of thy tormentors, Who said to thy soul, Bow down that we may pass over, —And so thou didst place as the ground, thy back, Yea as the street to such as were passing along.
