< 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, barren, you who didn’t give birth! Break out into singing, and cry aloud, you who didn’t travail with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,” says the LORD.
2 Akyokyelik lohm nuknuk sum an; Akloesyalik sucl kac, ac akkeyala kwi ma sruok sucl an!
“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations; don’t spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
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.
For you will spread out on the right hand and on the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and settle in desolate cities.
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.
“Don’t be afraid, for you will not be ashamed. Don’t be confounded, for you will not be disappointed. For you will forget the shame of your youth. You will remember the reproach of your widowhood no more.
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 of Hosts is his name. The Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer. He will be 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:
For the LORD has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.
7 “Nga tuh siskomla ke kitin pacl, A ke pakoten lulap luk, nga fah sifil eiskom.
“For a small moment I have forsaken you, but I will gather you with great mercies.
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 overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on 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.
“For this is like the waters of Noah to me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah will no more go over the earth, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
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.
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed, but my loving kindness will not depart from you, and my covenant of peace will not be removed,” says the LORD who has mercy on you.
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.
“You afflicted, tossed with storms, and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in beautiful colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires.
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 pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
13 “Nga ac fah sifacna luti mwet lom, Ac oru tuh elos in kapkapak ac moul in misla.
All your children will be taught by the LORD, and your children’s peace will be great.
14 Suwoswos ac pwaye ac fah oru kom in ku. Kom ac fah tia pulakin mwe keok ac mwe aksangang.
You will be established in righteousness. You will be far from oppression, for you will not be afraid, and far from terror, for it shall not come near you.
15 Fin oasr kutena mwet mweuni kom, El oru ke tia ma nga sapkin. Ac fah kutangyukla kutena mwet su mweun lain kom.
Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of 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.
“Behold, I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame, and forges a weapon for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy.
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.
No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the LORD’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says the LORD.
