Isaiah 64
1 Saok kom in seya inkusrao ac oatume! Eol uh lukun liye kom ac rarrar ke sangeng sum.
If only you would rip the heavens apart and come down! The mountains would tremble in your presence!
2 Oana ke e uh esukak etong ac oru kof uh in poel, ouinge tuku lom fah oru Inem in eteyuk sin mwet lokoalok lom, ac oru mutanfahl uh in rarrar ye motom!
In the same way that fire burns wood and makes the water boil, make your reputation known to your enemies, so that nations will tremble in your presence!
3 Oasr pacl se meet kom tuh tuku ac oru mwe aksangeng lulap ma kut tiana nunku mu ac sikyak. Eol uh liye kom ac kusrusryak ke sangeng.
In the past you did things we weren't anticipating. You came down and the mountains trembled in your presence!
4 Wangin mwet nu liye ku lohng ke sie God oana kom, su orek mwenmen ouinge nu selos su filiya finsrak lalos in El.
Since the beginning, no one has heard about, no one has paid attention to, and no one has seen any God except you, the one who helps those who place their confidence in you.
5 Kom insewowo in osun nu selos su engan in oru ma suwohs, elos su esam ouiyen moul ma kom lungse elos in moulkin. Kom tuh kasrkusrak sesr, a kut oru na ma koluk. Kom ne arulana toasr sesr, a kut srakna oru ma sutuu oemeet me.
You join with those who are glad, and with those who do what's right and remember to follow your ways. But when we went on sinning, you became angry. How can we be saved if we go on like this?
6 Kut nukewa oru ma koluk; finne orekma wo ma kut oru, a fohkfok oana nuknuk fohkfok uh. Ke sripen ma koluk lasr, kut oana sra ma masla ac ukukla ke eng uh.
We've all become unclean, and all the good things we do are like dirty rags. We wither and die like autumn leaves, and our sins, like the wind, blow us away.
7 Wangin sie foroht nu sum in pre. Wangin sie som nu yurum in suk kasru. Kom wikinkomla sifacna liki kut, ac som liki kut ke sripen ma koluk lasr.
There's no one who calls for you or really wants to hold onto you, because you have hidden your face from us and let us drown in our own sins.
8 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom papa tumasr. Kut oana fohk kle, ac kom oana mwet orek ahlu kle. Kom orekutla,
But you, Lord, are our Father. We're the clay, you're the potter. You made us all with your own hands.
9 ke ma inge, nimet arulana kasrkusrak sesr, ku esam na ma koluk lasr nwe tok. Kut mwet lom. Pakoten nu sesr.
Please limit your anger, Lord, and don't remember our sins forever. Look at us, and see that we are all your people.
10 Siti mutal nukewa sum ekla oana acn mwesis. Acn Jerusalem sikiyukla ac wanginla mwet we.
Your holy cities have been turned into a wilderness; Zion has become a desert; yes, even Jerusalem is an abandoned ruin.
11 Tempul lasr uh firriyukyak — acn mutal ac kato se ma mwet matu lasr meet ah tuh kaksakin kom we. Acn nukewa ma kut lungse meet ah musalsalu.
Our beautiful, holy Temple where our forefathers praised you has been burned down, and all that we treasured has been destroyed.
12 LEUM GOD, ya ma inge tiana wakrekom? Ya wanginna ma kom ac oru, ac kom ac akkeokye kut yohk liki ma kut ku in mutangla?
In view of all this, are you still going to refuse to help us? Are you going to stay quiet and punish us so severely?
