Isaiah 65
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga tuh akola in topuk pre lun mwet luk, a elos tiana pre. Nga tuh akola elos in koneyuyak, a elos tiana srike in sukyu. Mutanfahl se inge tiana pre nu sik, nga finne akola pacl nukewa in topkolos, ‘Nga pa inge; nga fah kasrekowos.’
I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.
2 Nga akola pacl nukewa in paing mwet luk, su likkekelana in oru ma sutuu ac fahsr ke inkanek lalos sifacna.
All day my hands have been stretched out to an uncontrolled people, who go in an evil way, after the purposes of their hearts;
3 Elos tiana mwekin in akkasrkusrakyeyu pacl nukewa. Elos oru mwe kisa nu ke ma sruloala in ima oal lalos, ac furreak mwe keng fin loang lun mwet pegan.
A people who make me angry every day, making offerings in gardens, and burning perfumes on bricks.
4 Ke fong uh elos som nu in luf ac nu ke kulyuk, in lolngok yurin ngunin mwet misa. Elos kang ikwen pig ac nim sronin ikwa ma kisakinyuk ke ouiya lun mwet pegan.
Who are seated in the resting-places of the dead, and by night are in the secret places; who take pig's flesh for food, and have the liquid of disgusting things in their vessels.
5 Na elos fahk nu sin mwet ngia, ‘Nimet kaluku nu yorosr. Kut mutallana, ac sufal kowos in pusral kut.’ Nga koflana muteng kain mwet ouingan — kasrkusrak luk kaclos oana sie e na ngeng ma tia ku in kunla.
Who say, Keep away, do not come near me, for fear that I make you holy: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day.
6 “Nga nunkala tari kalya ma fal nu selos, ac simla pac tari ma ac orek nu selos. Nga fah tia likinsai ma elos orala tari, a nga ac fah folokin nu selos
See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,
7 fal nu ke ma koluk lalos ac oayapa ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos. Elos esukak mwe keng fin inging uh ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac fahk kas koluk keik. Ouinge nga fah kaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk lalos.”
For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin mwet sisla ung in grape fon se, a elos ac srela ma wo kac in orekmakin nu ke wain. Ouinge nga fah tia pac kunausla mwet luk nukewa — nga ac molela mwet su kulansupweyu.
This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.
9 Nga ac fah akinsewowoye mwet Israel su ma in sruf lun Judah, ac fwilin tulik natulos fah usrui acn sik in eol uh. Mwet solla luk su kulansupweyu fah muta we.
And I will take a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who will have my mountains for a heritage: and the people I have taken to be mine will have it for themselves, and my servants will have their resting-place there.
10 Elos fah alu nu sik, ac fah pwen sheep ac cow natulos nu insroan mah in acn Tupasrpasr lun Sharon layen nu roto, ac nu Infahlfal in Ongoiya layen nu kutulap.
And Sharon will be a grass-land for the flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting-place for the herds: for my people whose hearts have been turned back to me.
11 “Tusruktu ac fah tia ouinge nu suwos su ngetla likiyu ac mulkunla Zion, eol mutal sik, ac alu nu sel Gad — god lun wo ouiya, ac nu sel Meni — god lun ongoiya.
But as for you who have given up the Lord, who have no care for my holy mountain, who get ready a table for Chance, and make offerings of mixed wine to Fate;
12 Ac fah koluk ouiya nu suwos ac kowos ac anwuki ke cutlass, mweyen kowos tia topuk ke pacl nga pangon kowos, ku porongo ke pacl nga kaskas. Kowos sulela in seakosyu ac oru ma koluk.
Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.
13 Ouinge nga fahk nu suwos lah elos su alu nu sik ac akosyu fah pukanten mwe mongo nalos ac mwe nim nimalos, a kowos fah masrinsral ac malu. Elos ac fah engan, a kowos ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:
14 Elos ac fah on ke engan, a kowos ac tung ke asor ac toasr.
My servants will make songs in the joy of their hearts, but you will be crying for sorrow, and making sounds of grief from a broken spirit.
15 Inewos fah sie kas in selnga lun mwet solla luk. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fah lela in anwuki kowos. Tusruktu nga fah sang sie ine sasu nu selos su akosyu.
And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:
16 Kutena mwet in facl se inge su siyuk in akinsewowoyeyuk el, fah siyuk mwe insewowo sin God lun ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su orala kas in fulahk ku lal, fah oru ke Inen God lun ma pwaye. Ma koluk nukewa ke pacl somla ac fah wanginla ac mulkinyukla.”
So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga orala kusrao sasu ac sie fahlu sasu. Ma meet ah ac fah mulkinyukla.
For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.
18 Kowos in engan ac insewowo nwe tok ke ma nga oru inge. Jerusalem sasu ma nga ac oru ac fah sessesla ke engan, ac mwet we ac fah insewowo.
But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.
19 Nga sifacna fah arulana enganak ke Jerusalem ac mwet we. Ac fah wangin pusren tung ac asor we.
And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.
20 Tulik srisrik ac fah tia sifilpa misa ke srakna fusr, ac mwet nukewa ac fah loes moul lalos. Elos su moul nwe sun yac siofok ac fah liyeyuk mu elos srakna fusr. Mwet se fin misa meet liki pacl sacn, ac fah sie akul lah nga kalyaelos.
No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.
21 Elos fah musai lohm ac muta loac; elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac kang fahko kac.
And they will be building houses and living in them; planting vine-gardens and getting the fruit of them.
22 Elos ac tia musai na kutepacna mwet muta loac. Elos ac tia yukwi ima in grape na kutepacna mwet nim wain kac. Tuh mwet luk fah moul paht, oana lusen moul lun sak uh. Elos ac arulana engankin fokin orekma lalos.
They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.
23 Orekma elos oru ac fah wo ouiya, ac tulik natulos fah tia sun ongoiya. Nga fah akinsewowoyalos ac fwilin tulik natulos nwe tok.
Their work will not be for nothing, and they will not give birth to children for destruction; for they are a seed to whom the Lord has given his blessing, and their offspring will be with them.
24 Meet liki safla pre lalos nu sik, nga ac topuk mwe siyuk lalos.
And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.
25 Kosro wolf ac sheep fusr ac fah tukeni mongo. Lion uh ac fah mongo mah oana cow uh, ac wet pwasin ac fah tia sifil sensenkinyuk. Fineol Zion, eol mutal sik, ac fah wangin kutena mwe ngal ku ma koluk we.”
The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.
