< Isaiah 54 >

1 Jerusalem, meet kom tuh oana sie mutan wangin tulik natu. A inge kom ku in on ac sasa ke engan, Mweyen ac fah pus tulik nutum Liki sie mutan su mukul tuma tiana som lukel.
Sing for joy, childless woman, you who have had a baby! Shout aloud, and sing happily, Jerusalem, you who have never given birth! For the abandoned woman now has more children than the married woman, says the Lord.
2 Akyokyelik lohm nuknuk sum an; Akloesyalik sucl kac, ac akkeyala kwi ma sruok sucl an!
Make the tent where you live bigger; stretch the fabric to enlarge your home. Don't try and save space—extend your tent cords and make your tent pegs stronger.
3 Kom fah kulelik masrol lom ke siska nukewa; Mwet lom ac fah sifil eis facl ma Mutunfacl saya muta fac in pacl inge. Siti ma wangin mwet we in pacl inge ac fah tingtingi ke mwet.
You're going to be spreading out right and left; your descendants will take over the land of other nations and live in towns that were once abandoned.
4 Nimet sangeng — kom ac fah tia sifilpa akmwekinyeyuk; Kom ac fah tia sifilpa akpusiselyeyuk. Ac fah mulkinyukla tafongla lom ke pacl lom payuk fusr, Ac oayapa supwar lom ke kom katinmas.
Do not be afraid, for you won't be humiliated; don't be upset, for you won't be disgraced. You will forget about the shame of your youth, and you won't remember the embarrassment of your widowhood any longer.
5 El su orekomla El ac oana sie mukul tuma nu sum — LEUM GOD Kulana pa Inel. God mutal lun Israel fah molikomla — El pa leumi faclu nufon.
For your Maker is your husband, the Lord Almighty is his name the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, he is called the God of the whole earth.
6 Israel, kom oana sie mutan payuk fusr Su mukul tumal el sisella, ac arulana toasr insia. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El pangonkomme nu yorol ac fahk:
The Lord has called you to come back, like a wife who's been abandoned and deeply hurt, a wife who was married when she was young, only to be rejected, says your God.
7 “Nga tuh siskomla ke kitin pacl, A ke pakoten lulap luk, nga fah sifil eiskom.
I deserted you for just a little while, but I will bring you back, showing you a great deal of kindness.
8 Nga tuh kasrkusrak ac ngetla liki kom ke kitin pacl, Tusruktu inge nga fah fahkak lungse kawil luk nu sum.” Pa inge ma LEUM GOD su molikomla El fahk.
In a moment of anger I turned my face away from you, but now with trustworthy love I will always be kind to you, says the Lord, your Redeemer.
9 “In pacl lal Noah nga tuh wulela mu Fahlu ac tiana sifilpa musalla ke sronot. Inge nga wulela in tiana sifil kasrkusrak sum. Nga fah tia sifilpa mulat nu sum ku kai kom.
To me this is just like Noah's time, when I promised on oath that a flood would never cover the earth again. In the same way I promise on oath that I won't be angry with you or tell you off.
10 Eol uh ac inging uh ku in mokukla, A lungse luk nu sum fah tiana safla; Nga fah liyaung wuleang in misla luk nwe tok.” LEUM GOD su lungse kom El fahk ouinge.
Though the mountains cease to exist and the hills disappear, yet my trustworthy love for you won't cease to exist and my agreement of peace won't disappear, says the Lord, who shows you kindness.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “O Jerusalem, sie siti keok su musalla tukun paka se Ac wangin mwet in akwoye kom, Nga fah sifil musaeak pwelung lom ke eot saok.
My poor storm-damaged city that can't be comforted! Look, I'm going to reset your stones in cement made of antimony, I will use sapphires to lay your foundations.
12 Nga fah musai tower lom ke eot ruby, Ac mutunpot sum ke eot saromrom oana e, Ac pot ma raunikomyak ke wek saok.
I will make your fortifications out of rubies; I will make your gates out of sparkling beryl. All your walls will be made of precious stones,
13 “Nga ac fah sifacna luti mwet lom, Ac oru tuh elos in kapkapak ac moul in misla.
and all your children will be students of the Lord, and they will live in complete peace.
14 Suwoswos ac pwaye ac fah oru kom in ku. Kom ac fah tia pulakin mwe keok ac mwe aksangang.
Your society will operate from principles of goodness and right; nobody will be there to oppress you. You won't be afraid; you won't have to face any kind of terror.
15 Fin oasr kutena mwet mweuni kom, El oru ke tia ma nga sapkin. Ac fah kutangyukla kutena mwet su mweun lain kom.
If any invader comes to attack you, I didn't send them; you will defeat anyone who attacks you.
16 “Nga pa orala mwet orekma ke osra, Su tanak sie e ac orala kufwen mwe mweun. Nga pac pa orala mwet mweun, Su orekmakin kufwen mwe mweun in uniya mwet.
Look—I have created a blacksmith who blows the coals into a hot flame and forges a suitable weapon; and I have created the destroyer who brings destruction.
17 Tusruktu wangin kufwen mwe mweun ac fah kunauskomla. Ac fah oasr top lom nu selos nukewa su akkolukye kom. Nga fah loango mwet kulansap luk Ac oru tuh elos in kutangla.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
None of the weapons forged against you will succeed, and you will condemn anyone who accuses you. This is how the servants of the Lord are blessed, and I am the one who vindicates them, declares the Lord.
