< 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?
The LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. What kind of house will you build to me? Where will I 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.
For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
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.
He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.
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 also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they didn’t listen, but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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!
Hear the LORD’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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!
A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that repays his enemies what they deserve.
7 “Siti mutal sik el oana sie mutan su sa na oswela sie tulik meet liki na ngal in isus lal.
“Before she travailed, she gave birth. Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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 heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, 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.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says the LORD. “Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
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.
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
11 Kowos ac fah engankin mwe insewowo lal, Oana sie tulik su titi ke nina kial.
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
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.
For the LORD says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream, and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on her knees.
13 Nga fah akwoye kowos in Jerusalem oana sie nina akwoye tulik natul.
As one whom his mother comforts, so 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.”
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. The LORD’s hand will be known amongst his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.
15 LEUM GOD El ac tuku wi e. El ac kasrusr fin sie paka in kalyaelos su El kasrkusrak se.
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots will be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with 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.
For the LORD will execute judgement by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by the LORD will be many.
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 sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end 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,
“For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will 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 set a sign amongst them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory amongst 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 shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the LORD’s house.
21 Nga fah eis kutu selos in oru orekma lun mwet tol ac mwet Levi.
Of them I will also select 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.”
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says the LORD, “so your offspring and your name shall remain.
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.
It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” 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 look at the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”
