Isaiah 56
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Oru ma suwohs ac pwaye, mweyen ac tia paht nga ac molikowosla.
This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.
2 Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su karinganang len Sabbath ac tia aklusrongtenye. Nga fah akinsewowoyalos su tia oru kutena ma koluk.”
Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Sie mwetsac su weang mwet lun God elan tia fahk mu, “LEUM GOD El tia lela ngan wi mwet lal uh alu.” Sie eunuch elan tia nunku mu el tia ku in wi oaoala nu ke mwet lun God ke sripen el tia ku in orek tulik.
Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “I am but a dry tree.”
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin kain mukul se ingan, “Kom fin akfulatyeyu ke kom karinganang len Sabbath, ac kom fin oru ma nga lungse ac oaru in liyaung wuleang luk,
For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who choose what pleases Me and hold fast to My covenant—
5 na inem ac fah esamyuk in Tempul luk oayapa inmasrlon mwet luk, paht liki na funu oasr wen ac acn nutum. Kom ac fah tiana mulkinyukla.”
I will give them, in My house and within My walls, a memorial and a name better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
6 Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwetsac su wela mwet lal, su lungse El ac kulansupwal, su akfulatye len Sabbath ac oaru in liyaung wuleang lal:
And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to Him, to love the name of the LORD, and to be His servants— all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast to My covenant—
7 “Nga fah uskowosme nu Zion, fineol mutal luk, ac akenganye kowos in iwen pre sik, ac nga fah insewowo in eis mwe kisa ma kowos kisakin fin loang luk. Tempul sik fah pangpang iwen pre nu sin mwet in mutunfacl nukewa.”
I will bring them to My holy mountain and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”
8 LEUM GOD Fulatlana, su folokonma mwet Israel lal nu yen selos liki sruoh, El wulela mu El ac use kutu pac mwet sayalos in welulosyang.
Thus declares the Lord GOD, who gathers the dispersed of Israel: “I will gather to them still others besides those already gathered.”
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mutunfacl saya uh in tuku oana kosro lemnak ac kangla mwet lal.
Come, all you beasts of the field; eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.
10 El fahk, “Mwet kol nukewa, su ma kunalos in sensenkakin mwet luk, elos kun! Wangin ma elos etu. Elos oana kosro ngalngul in soan ma tiana wowo — elos oanna ac mweme. Elos lungse na pwaye motul!
Israel’s watchmen are blind, they are all oblivious; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they are dreamers lying around, loving to slumber.
11 Elos oana kosro oasroasr in mongo ma tia etu kihpi. Mwet kol inge wangin etauk lalos. Kais sie selos oru na ma elos lungse, ac suk na ma ac wo nu selos sifacna.
Like ravenous dogs, they are never satisfied. They are shepherds with no discernment; they all turn to their own way, each one seeking his own gain:
12 Mwet sruhi inge elos fahk, ‘Use kutu wain an kut in nim na ke kuiyasr! Len lutu uh ac fah wo liki na misenge!’”
“Come, let me get the wine, let us imbibe the strong drink, and tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
