< 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 am enquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to a nation that was not called by my name.
2 Nga akola pacl nukewa in paing mwet luk, su likkekelana in oru ma sutuu ac fahsr ke inkanek lalos sifacna.
I have spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
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 provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense 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 sit amongst the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, and broth of abominable things is 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, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns 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
“Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will repay, yes, I will repay into their bosom
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.”
your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says the LORD, “who have burnt incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”
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.
The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy 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.
I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell 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.
Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought 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 you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to Destiny;
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.
I will destine you to the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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.
Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
14 Elos ac fah on ke engan, a kowos ac tung ke asor ac toasr.
Behold, my servants will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish of 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.
You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will call his servants by 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 blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga orala kusrao sasu ac sie fahlu sasu. Ma meet ah ac fah mulkinyukla.
“For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered, nor come into 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 be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be 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.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
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 more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21 Elos fah musai lohm ac muta loac; elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac kang fahko kac.
They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
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 not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will long enjoy 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.
They will not labour in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.
24 Meet liki safla pre lalos nu sik, nga ac topuk mwe siyuk lalos.
It will happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
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 feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
