< 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.
“Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek the LORD. Look to the rock you were cut from, and to the quarry you were dug from.
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 to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, I blessed him, and made 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 the LORD has comforted Zion. He has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in them, 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.
“Listen to me, my people; and hear me, my nation, for a law will go out from me, and I will establish my justice for a light to the peoples.
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.
My righteousness is near. My salvation has gone out, and my arms will judge the peoples. The islands will wait for me, and they will trust my arm.
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 your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish away like smoke, and the earth will wear out like a garment. Its inhabitants will die in the same way, but my salvation will be forever, and my righteousness will not be abolished.
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.
“Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law. Don’t fear the reproach of men, and don’t be dismayed at their insults.
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 the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but my righteousness will be forever, and my salvation to all generations.”
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, arm of the LORD! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
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.
Isn’t it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
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.
Those ransomed by the LORD will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee 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, even I, am he who comforts you. Who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who will be made as grass?
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.
Have you forgotten the LORD your Maker, who stretched out the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth? Do you live in fear continually all day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he prepares to destroy? Where 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 exile will speedily be freed. He will not die and go down into the pit. His bread won’t fail.
15 “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos. Nga mokleak meoa Ac oru noa uh in ngirngir. Inek pa LEUM GOD Kulana!
For I am the LORD your God, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. the LORD of Armies 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.’”
I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’”
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.
Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from the LORD’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
18 Wangin mwet ac fah pwen kom, Wangin sie inmasrlon wen nutum Ac sruokya poum in kasrekom.
There is no one to guide her amongst all the sons to whom she has given birth; and there is no one who takes her by the hand amongst all the sons whom she has brought up.
19 Oasr mwe ongoiya luo putati fom: Facl sum sikiyukla ke mweun, Ac mwet lom misa ke masrinsral. Wanginla mwet in pakomutom.
These two things have happened to you— who will grieve with you?— desolation and destruction, and famine and the sword. How can I comfort you?
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.
Your sons have fainted. They lie at the head of all the streets, like an antelope in a net. They are full of the LORD’s wrath, the rebuke of your God.
21 Kowos mwet keok in Jerusalem, Kowos su tukulkul oana mwet sruhi,
Therefore now hear this, you afflicted, 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.
Your Lord GOD, your God who pleads the cause of his people, says, “Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. You will not 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.”
I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, ‘Bow down, that we may walk over you;’ and you have laid your back as the ground, like a street to those who walk over.”
