Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
Mwet wo uh misa, a wangin mwet nunku kaclos ku suk lah efu. Tusruktu ke elos misa tari, wangin mwe ongoiya ku in sonolos.
2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
Elos su moulkin moul wo elos konauk misla ac mongla tukun misa lalos.
3 “But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
Kowos mwet koluk, fahsru in nununkeyuk kowos! Kowos tia wo liki mwet inutnut, mwet kosro, ac mutan su lungse kukakin manolos.
4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
Su kowos isrun an? Kowos mwet kikiap, su kowos yayai uh?
5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Kowos alu nu sin god lun eslap ke kowos orek kosro ye sak oal sunowos ingan. Kowos sang tulik nutuwos tuh in mwe kisa ke luf inmasrlon eot uh apkuran nu pe infacl uh.
6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
Kowos eis eot fwel we, ac alu nu kac in srulun god. Kowos okoala wain ac use mwe kisa wheat in mwe sang nu selos. Ya kowos nunku mu nga insewowo ke ma inge?
7 On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
Kowos som nu fineol fulat in orek kisa nu ke ma sruloala, ouinge kowos tia pwaye nu sik.
8 Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
Kowos tulokunak ma sruloala fohkfok lowos in lohm suwos sisken na mutunoa uh. Kowos sisyula. Kowos susarla ac sroang nu fin mwe oan kiowos wi mwet kawuk lowos su kowos moli in oan yuruwos. Ouinge sun lungse koluk lowos.
9 You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
Kowos fifla ke ono keng ac mosrwekowosla ke mwe akmusra, ac som alu nu sin god Molech. Kowos supwala mwet utuk kas nu yen loessula, finne nu in facl lun misa, in suk god saya in alu nu kac. (Sheol h7585)
10 You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
Kowos ne totolana in suk god saya ingan, a kowos tiana fuhleak. Kowos tiana munasla ke sripen kowos pangon mu ma sruloala fohkfok lowos ingan sot ku nu suwos.
11 Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Su god inge ma oru kowos sangeng, pwanang kowos kikiap nu sik ac tiana esamyu? Ya kowos tila akfulatyeyu mweyen in pacl na loeloes nga misla ac tia kaskas nu suwos?
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
Kowos nunku mu ma kowos oru an pwayena, tusruktu nga fah fahkak luman orekma koluk lowos in eteyuk, ac ma sruloala lowos ac fah tia ku in kasrekowos.
13 When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
Pacl kowos wowoyak in suk kasru, lela ma sruloala lowos ingan in molikowosla! Kitin eng na srisrik ku in okulosla! A elos su lulalfongiyu elos fah mutana in facl se inge, ac alu nu sik in Tempul luk.”
14 And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Musai inkanek uh, ac akoela! Lela mwet luk in foloko nu yuruk. Eisla ma nukewa su kosrala inkanek lalos!
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
“Nga God fulat ac mutal, su moul ma pahtpat. Nga muta in sie acn fulat ac mutal, tusruktu nga oayapa muta yurin mwet pusisel ac mwet auliyak, tuh nga in ku in aksasuye lulalfongi ac finsrak lalos.
16 For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
Nga sang moul nu sin mwet luk, ac nga fah tia kolla mulat luk ac amei yorolos nwe tok.
17 I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
Nga tuh kasrkusrak selos ke sripen ma koluk ac nunak in rapku lalos, ouinge nga tuh kalyaelos ac ngetla lukelos. Tusruktu elos likkekelana ac fahsrna ke ouiya koluk lalos.
18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
“Nga liye tari ma elos oru, tusruktu ne ouinge nga fah akkeyalosla. Nga fah kololos ac kasrelos, ac nga fah akwoyalos su tung.
19 bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
Nga sang misla nu selos su muta apkuran ac oayapa elos su muta loessula! Nga fah akkeyala mwet luk.
20 But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
Tusruktu mwet koluk elos oana noa meoa ma tia tui in sisak kutkut ac ma fohkfok nu fin acn uh.”
21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
