< Isaiah 59 >

1 Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El arulana munas in molikowosla, ku arulana sulohng ke kowos pang nu sel in suk kasru!
Here! not it is [too] short [the] hand of Yahweh for saving and not it is [too] heavy ear his for hearing.
2 Ma koluk lowos srikowosla liki God ke kowos srike in alu nu sel. Ma koluk lowos pa oru El tia lohng kowos uh.
For except iniquities your they have been separating between you and between God your and sins your they have hidden face from you from hearing.
3 Oasr mwatan akmas, sulallal, ac kikiap lowos.
For hands your they are defiled with blood and fingers your with iniquity lips your they have spoken falsehood tongue your injustice it mutters.
4 Kowos tiana suk inkanek pwaye ac suwohs. Ke kowos usak mwet nu in nununku, kowos lulalfongi sramsram kikiap in akwoyekowos. Kowos akfahsrye pwapa sulal lowos in akkolukye mwet ngia.
There not [is one who] calls in righteousness and there not [is one who] enters into judgment in truth [they are] trusting on emptiness and they speak worthlessness they conceive mischief and they bring forth wickedness.
5 Kikiap lowos uh oswela atro lun wet pwasin, ac kutena mwet su kang atro inge ac misa. Kowos fin itungya sie atro inge na soko wet sulallal ac tuku kac. Kowos orek mungangu oana pwepenu,
Eggs of a viper they have hatched and webs of a spider they weave the [one who] eats any of eggs their he will die and the pressed [egg] it is hatched a snake.
6 na mungangu ingan tia ku in nukumyuk, ac tia ku in afinkowosi. Pwapa sulal lowos an wangin sripa — oana nuknuk ma orekla ke mungangu.
Webs their not they will become clothing and not people will cover themselves with products their products their [are] products of wickedness and deed[s] of violence [is] in hands their.
7 Pacl nukewa kowos lumahla in oru ma koluk, ac kowos salka in tari orekla. Wanginna alolo lowos in uniya mwet wangin mwata. Yen nukewa ma kowos fahsr liki, arulana yohk ma musalla we,
Feet their to evil they run and they may hasten to shed blood innocent thoughts their [are] thoughts of wickedness devastation and destruction [are] on highways their.
8 ac wangin mwet inse misla ke pacl kowos ac sikyak uh. Ma nukewa kowos oru uh sesuwos. Kowos fahsr ke inkanek kururu soko, ac wangin mwet su fahsr ke innek soko ingan ac fah moulla.
A way of peace not they know and there not [is] justice on tracks their paths their they have made crooked themselves any [one who] treads on it not he knows peace.
9 Mwet uh fahk, “Inge kut etu lah efu ku God El tia molikutla lukelos su akkeokye kut. Kut finsrak ke kalem kut in fahsr kac, a lohsr mukena pa kut liye.
There-fore it is far justice from us and not it reaches us righteousness we wait eagerly for the light and there! darkness for gleams of light in gloom we walk.
10 Kut kahlimin acn uh oana mwet kun. Kut tukulkul ke infulwen len oana in fong, oana kut in oasr in facl lohsr lun misa.
We grope for like blind [people] a wall and like there not [are] eyes we grope we have stumbled at noon like the twilight among the fat people like dead [people].
11 Kut sangeng ac toasrla. Kut kena God Elan molikutla liki mwe keok ac tafongla, tusruktu wangin ma sikyak.
We growl like bears all of us and like doves certainly we moan we wait eagerly for justice and there not for deliverance it is far from us.
12 “LEUM GOD, orekma koluk lasr ma lain kom uh puslana. Ma koluk lasr sifacna fahkkutyak. Kut arulana kalem kac nufon.
For they are many transgressions our before you and sins our it has testified against us that transgressions our [are] with us and iniquities our we know them.
13 Kut tuyak lain kom, siskomla, ac srunga fahsr tukum. Kut akkeokye mwet saya ac forla liki kom. Nunak lasr tafongla, ac kas lasr kikiap.
We have transgressed and we have denied Yahweh and we have turned back from after God our we have spoken oppression and rebellion we have conceived and we have uttered from [the] heart words of falsehood.
14 Kut sisla nununku suwohs, pwanang ma suwohs uh loesla liki kut. Ke acn in tukeni lun mwet uh ma pwaye uh tiana orekmakinyuk, ouinge wangin acn sin ma suwohs.
And it has been driven back backwards justice and righteousness from a distance it stands for it has stumbled in the open place truth and honesty not it is able to enter.
15 Ke sripen sriklana ma suwohs, oru kutena mwet su tila oru ma koluk el sifacna konauk lah lainyuk el sin mwet orekma koluk.” LEUM GOD El liye ma inge, ac El arulana toasr lah suwoswos uh wanginla.
And it was truth lacking and [one who] turned aside from evil [was] plundered and he saw Yahweh and it was displeasing in view his that there not [was] justice.
16 El lut ke El liye lah wangin mwet in kasru mwet akkeokyeyuk. Ke ma inge El ac orekmakin ku lal sifacna in molelosla ac in eis kutangla.
And he saw that there not [was] anyone and he was appalled that there not [was one who] interposed and it gave victory to him own arm his and own righteousness his it it sustained him.
17 El fah nokomang suwoswos oana sie mwe loeyuk iniwal, ac el fah sunya lango in oana sie susu osra. El fah nokmulang ke sulela na ku lal sifacna in oakiya ma suwohs, ac in kai ac foloksak ke ma sufal ma mwet uh keok kac.
And he put on righteousness like body armor and a helmet of salvation on head his and he put on garments of vengeance clothing and he wrapped himself like robe zeal.
18 El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal fal nu ke ma elos oru, finne elos su muta in facl loesula.
As on deeds as on he will repay rage to opponents his recompense to enemies his to the islands recompense he will repay.
19 Kutulap lac nwe roto, mwet nukewa fah sangeng sel ac ke ku lulap lal. El ac fah tuku oana soko infacl sronoti, ac oana sie eng upa ma tuhyak.
And they may fear from [the] setting place [the] name of Yahweh and from [the] rising of [the] sun glory his for he will come like river narrow [which] [the] wind of Yahweh it will drive it.
20 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga ac fah tuku nu Jerusalem in loangekowos ac moli kowos nukewa su forla liki ma koluk lowos.
And he will come to Zion a redeemer and to [those who] repent of transgression in Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh.
21 Ac nga oru wuleang se inge yuruwos: Nga sot ku luk ac mwe luti luk tuh in ma lowos nwe tok, ac ingela kowos in akosyu ac luti tulik nutuwos ac filin tulik nutuwos in akosyu ke pacl nukewa fahsru.”
And I this [is] covenant my with them he says Yahweh spirit my which [is] on you and words my which I have put in mouth your not they will depart from mouth your and from [the] mouth of offspring your and from [the] mouth of [the] offspring of offspring your he says Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
