Isaiah 56
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Oru ma suwohs ac pwaye, mweyen ac tia paht nga ac molikowosla.
The LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is near and my righteousness will soon 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 speak, saying, “The LORD will surely separate me from his people.” Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am 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 the LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, choose the things that please 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 of sons and of 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:
Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him, and to love the LORD’s name, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast 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 these to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
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.
The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, “I will yet gather others to him, in addition to his own who are gathered.”
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mutunfacl saya uh in tuku oana kosro lemnak ac kangla mwet lal.
All you animals of the field, come to devour, all you animals in 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!
His watchmen are blind. They are all without knowledge. They are all mute dogs. They can’t bark— dreaming, lying down, 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.
Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.
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,” they say, “I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and tomorrow will be as today, great beyond measure.”
