Isaiah 55
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahsru, kowos nukewa su malu — Kof pa inge! Fahsru kowos su wangin mani la — Mongo ac nim! Fahsru! Moul wain ac milk — Ac fah wangin molo!
All you who thirst, come to the waters. And you who have no money: hurry, buy and eat. Approach, buy wine and milk, without money and without barter.
2 Efu ku kowos sisi mani ke ma ac tia akinsewowoye kowos? Efu ku kowos sisla molin orekma lowos ac srakna masrinsral? Porongeyu ac oru ma nga fahk uh, Na kowos fah engankin mwe mongo ma wo emeet uh.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and expend your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen very closely to me, and eat what is good, and then your soul will be delighted by a full measure.
3 “Mwet luk, porongeyu ac fahsru nu yuruk; Fahsru nu yuruk, na ac fah oasr moul lowos! Nga ac oru sie wuleang inmasrlok ac kowos su wangin saflaiya, Ac nga fah sot nu suwos mwe insewowo ma nga tuh wuleang nu sel David.
Incline your ear and draw near to me. Listen, and your soul will live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, by the faithful mercies of David.
4 Nga oru tuh elan sie mwet kol ac leum lun mutunfacl uh, Ac nga akkalemye ku luk kacl.
Behold, I have presented him as a witness to the people, as a commander and instructor to the nations.
5 Inge kowos fah suli mutunfacl saya uh. Sie pacl ah, elos tuh tia etekowos, A inge elos ac kasrusr tuku in wi kowos! Nga, LEUM GOD lowos, God mutal lun Israel, Fah oru ma inge nukewa in sikyak; Nga fah sot nu suwos sunak ac wolana.”
Behold, you will call to a nation that you did not know. And nations that did not know you will rush to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
6 Suk LEUM GOD ke kowos srakna ku in konalak, Pre nu sel inge ke El apkuran.
Seek the Lord, while he is able to be found. Call upon him, while he is near.
7 Lela mwet koluk in sisla ouiyen moul lalos, Ac in ekulla ouiyen nunak lalos. Lela elos in forla nu sin LEUM GOD lasr; El pakoten ac sa in nunak munas.
Let the impious one abandon his way, and the iniquitous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will take pity on him, and to our God, for he is great in forgiveness.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nunak luk, tia oana nunak lowos, Ac inkanek luk siena liki inkanek lowos.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says the Lord.
9 Oana ke kusrao arulana fulat liki faclu, Ouinge inkanek luk fulat liki inkanek lowos, Ac nunak luk liki nunak lowos.
For just as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so also are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10 “Kas luk oana snow ac af Ma kahk inkusrao me in aksroksrokye faclu. Af uh oru sacn uh in kap Tuh in oasr fita mwe yok, ac in isus fahko mwe mongo.
And in the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there, but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry,
11 Ac fah oapana inge ke kas ma nga fahk uh — Ac fah tia tafongla liki ma nga sapkin uh, A ac fah orekla ma nukewa fal nu ke lungse luk.
so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
12 “Kowos ac fah som liki acn Babylon ke engan lulap; Ac fah kokola kowos liki siti uh in misla. Eol uh ac inging uh fah wowoyak ke on, Ac sak uh fah sasa ke engan.
For you will go forth rejoicing, and you will be led forward in peace. The mountains and the hills will sing praise before you, and all the trees of the countryside will clap their hands.
13 Sak cypress fah kap ke acn ma mah fakfuk uh kapak we. Acn ma oasr kokul we inge, sak myrtle fah kapak we. Pa inge sie mwe akul ma ac oanna nwe tok, Sie mwe akesmak ke ma nga, LEUM GOD, orala.”
In place of the shrub, the pine tree will arise, and in place of the nettle, the myrtle tree will grow. And the Lord will be named with an eternal sign, which will not be taken away.
