Isaiah 66
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Kusrao pa tron luk, ac faclu ma loangeyen niuk. Na lohm fuka kowos ac ku in musai nu sik, ac kain in acn fuka kowos ac oru nga in muta we?
This is what the Lord says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is where I place my feet. So where will this house be that you're going to build for me? Where will I lie down to rest?
2 Nga na pa orala faclu ac yen engyeng uh nufon! Nga insewowo selos su inse pusisel ac su auliyak, elos su sangeng sik ac akosyu.
I made everything; that's how it all came into existence, says the Lord. Those I look favorably on are humble and repentant, and they tremble when I speak.
3 “Tusruktu mwet uh sulela in oru na lungse lalos sifacna. El su uniya soko cow mukul el oana mwet se su uniya sie mwet. El su kisakin soko sheep fusr el oana mwet se su koteya inkwawen soko kosro ngalngul. El su use sie mwe kisa wheat el oana mwet se su use srahn pig. El su orek mwe kisa keng el oana mwet se su pre nu ke sie ma sruloala. Elos insewowo in oru lumah na srungayuk ke alu uh.
When someone sacrifices a bull it's like human sacrifice, and when someone sacrifices a lamb, it's like breaking the neck of a dog. When they present a grain offering it's like presenting pig's blood, and when they burn incense it's like worshiping an idol. Since they have chosen to act like this and to love such disgusting things,
4 Ke ma inge nga fah sulela pac in use mwe ongoiya lulap nu faclos — ma na elos arulana sangeng kac uh — mweyen ke nga pang nu selos elos tia topuk, ac ke nga kaskas elos tia lohng. Elos sulela in seakosyu ac in oru ma koluk.”
I will also choose to punish them severely and to terrify them, because I called out to them but no one answered; I spoke to them, but no one listened. Instead they did what's evil in my sight, choosing to do what I hate.
5 Porongo ma LEUM GOD El fahk inge, kowos su sangeng sel ac aksol: “Ke sripen kowos inse pwaye nu sik, oru kutu sin mwet lowos sifacna elos srungakowos ac tiana lohwot nu suwos. Elos aksruksrukye kowos ac fahk, ‘Lela LEUM GOD Elan akkalemye ku lal ac molikowosla, tuh kut in liye ke kowos ac enganak.’ Tusruktu elos sifacna ac fah mwekinla!
Listen to what the Lord has to say, those of you who tremble when he speaks. This is what some of your people who hate you and throw you out have said, “Let the Lord be glorified, so we can see how happy you are!” but it's them who are going to be humiliated.
6 Kowos in porongo! Pusra lulap se kaskas in siti uh. Pusra se ma tuku liki Tempul uh pa pusren kaiyuk lun LEUM GOD nu sin mwet lokoalok lal!
Hear all the shouting from the city! Hear all the noise from the Temple! It's the sound of the Lord giving his enemies back what they deserve.
7 “Siti mutal sik el oana sie mutan su sa na oswela sie tulik meet liki na ngal in isus lal.
She gave birth before she went into labor, she delivered a boy before the pains came.
8 Ya nu oasr mwet liye ku lohng lumah ouinge? Ya oasr mutunfacl nu isusla ke len se na? Zion fah tia enenu in keok paht meet liki mutunfacl sacn isusla.
Who has ever heard of anything like this? Who has seen this kind of thing before? Can a country be delivered in a day, can a nation be born in a moment? Yet as soon as Zion went into labor, she gave birth to her children.
9 Nimet nunku mu nga fah use mwet luk in sun pacl in isusla, a tia lela elos in isusla.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.
Would I bring a baby to the point of birth and then not deliver it? the Lord asks. Would I who deliver the baby stop it from being born? the Lord asks again.
10 Kowos in wi Jerusalem enganak; Kowos nukewa su lungse siti se inge, enganak kacl! Kowos nukewa su asor kacl meet Kowos in welul engan.
Celebrate with Jerusalem and be happy for her, everyone who loves her; celebrate with her and sing for joy, everyone who mourns over her.
11 Kowos ac fah engankin mwe insewowo lal, Oana sie tulik su titi ke nina kial.
Like a baby you can nurse at her breasts that bring comfort, drinking deeply and being satisfied by all she has to give.
12 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah sot nu suwos misla ac insewowo kawil. Mwe kasrup lun mutunfacl puspis fah asrwot oana soko infacl ma tia ku in mihnla. Kowos ac fah oana sie tulik fusr ma katitiiyuk sin nina kial, kafisyukyak inpaol, ac oakoakiyuk ke lungse.
This is what the Lord says: Watch! I'm going to give her peace and prosperity like a flowing river, the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream. You will nurse and be carried on her hip and played with on her knees.
13 Nga fah akwoye kowos in Jerusalem oana sie nina akwoye tulik natul.
Like a mother comforting her child, I will comfort you. You will be comforted in Jerusalem.
14 Pacl se kowos liye ma inge, kowos ac fah engan, na ac fah oru kowos in fokoko ac ku in mano. Ouinge kowos fah etu lah, nga, LEUM GOD, kasrelos su akosyu, ac nga akkalemye kasrkusrak luk lain mwet lokoalok luk.”
When you see this happening, you'll be happy deep inside, and you'll prosper like growing grass. The Lord's power will be recognized as blessing his servants and cursing his enemies.
15 LEUM GOD El ac tuku wi e. El ac kasrusr fin sie paka in kalyaelos su El kasrkusrak se.
Look! The Lord is coming surrounded by fire, his chariots whirling like the wind, to express his anger with fury, to give his reprimand in flames of fire.
16 El ac fah orekmakin cutlass ac e in kai mwet nukewa fin fahlu su oasr mwata — ac mwet puspis ac fah anwuki.
The Lord will execute judgment on everyone by fire and by his sword. There will be many killed by the Lord.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Pacl in safla uh apkuranme nu selos su aknasnasyalos nu ke alu pegan, su takla fahsr nu ke ima aol lalos, ac su mongo ikwen pig ac kisrik in pot ac mwe mongo saya ma srungayuk.
Those who dedicate themselves and make themselves pure in order to enter the sacred gardens, to worship the idol placed in the center, and to eat pork and vermin and rats and other disgusting things—they will all die together, says the Lord.
18 Nga etu nunak lalos ac orekma lalos. Nga ac tuku in eisani mwet in mutunfacl nukewa. Ke elos ac fahsreni, elos fah liye ma nga oru ke po ku luk,
I know what they're doing and what they're thinking. I will soon come to gather all nations and peoples of different languages. They will come and see my glory.
19 ac elos ac fah etu lah nga pa kalyaelos. “Tusruktu nga fah filiya kutu selos, ac supwalosla nu ke mutunfacl, ac nu yen loessula, ma soenna lohng pweng keik ku liye wolana luk ac kulana luk: nu Tarshish, nu Pul ac Lud, wi mwet pisr oalel lalos, ac nu Tubal ac Javan. Inmasrlon mutunfacl puspis inge, elos fah sulkakin fulatlana luk.
I will give them a sign, and I will send some who survive to the nations. They will go to Tarshish, to the Libyans and Lydians (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant lands that haven't heard about me or seen my glory. They will announce my glory among the nations.
20 Elos ac fah folokonma mwet wiowos nukewa liki mutunfacl puspis, oana sie mwe lung nu sik. Elos ac usalosme nu ke eol mutal sik in acn Jerusalem — fin horse, miul, ac camel, ac in chariot ac wagon — oana ke mwet Israel elos use mwe kisa wheat ke ahlu aknasnasyeyukla in orekmakinyuk in Tempul.
They will bring back all your people from every nations to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will come on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels, says the Lord. They will bring them in the same way the Israelites bring their grain offerings to the Lord's Temple using vessels that are ceremonially clean.
21 Nga fah eis kutu selos in oru orekma lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi.
I will choose some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 “Oana ke faclu sasu ac kusrao sasu fah oan nwe tok ke ku luk, ouinge fwilin tulik nutuwos ac inewos ac fah oan nwe tok.”
As the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will last forever, so your descendants and your reputation will also last forever, says the Lord.
23 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke Kufwen Malem Sasu nukewa ac Sabbath nukewa, mwet in mutunfacl nukewa fah tuku ac alu nu sik inge in Jerusalem.
Everyone will come and worship me, from one New Moon to the next, and from one Sabbath to the next, says the Lord.
24 Ke elos mukuiyak in som, elos ac liye mano misa lun mwet su tuh lainyu. Wet ma kang manolos fah tiana misa, ac e se ma esukulos fah tiana kunla. Mwet nukewa ac fah arulana srunga liye mano misa inge.”
They will go out and see the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me. The worms that eat them won't die, the fire that burns them won't go out, and everyone who sees them will be horrified.
