< Isaiah 1 >

1 The vision of Isaiah son of Amoz, which he saw, concerning Judah and Jerusalem, —in the days of Uzziah Jotham Ahaz Hezekiah—kings of Judah.
Book se inge srumun pweng ke acn Judah ac Jerusalem ma God El akkalemye nu sel Isaiah wen natul Amoz, ke pacl Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, ac Hezekiah tuh tokosra lun Judah.
2 Hear O heavens, And give ear, O earth, for Yahweh, hath spoken: —Sons, have I brought up, and advanced, And, they, have rebelled against me.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Faclu ac kusrao, porongo ma nga fahk uh! Tulik ma nga tufahla elos tuyak lainyu.
3 An ox knoweth, his owner, And an ass his masters crib, —Israel, doth not know, My people doth not consider.
Cow uh etu lah nutin su elos, ac donkey uh etu yen kitakat elos we. A mwet luk Israel nikin lukelos. Elos tiana kalem kutu srisrik.”
4 Alas! a nation—committing sin, a people—burdened with iniquity, a seed—practising wickedness, sons—acting corruptly. They have forsaken Yahweh despised the Holy One of Israel, —Are estranged and gone back.
We nu suwos, mutunfacl se su orekma koluk. Kowos oru ma koluk ac fohkfok! Ma koluk lowos toankowosi! Kowos pilesru LEUM GOD, God mutal lun Israel, ac kowos ngetla lukel.
5 Why should ye be smitten any more? Ye would again turn aside! The whole head is sick, And the whole heart faint:
Efu ku kowos lainul na? Ya kowos lungse in kalyeiyuk kowos yohk liki meet ah? Israel, insifom afla tari ke kinet, ac insiom ac nunak lom mas na.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head, there is in it no soundness, Bruise and stripe and newly-made wound, —They have not been pressed out, nor bound up, nor soothed with oil.
Insifomi na nwe ke falkom, wangin sie ipin monum fas ku wo. Kom afinyukla ke futun ac palang ac ruf. Kinet keim tiana aknasnasyeyukla ku pihpla. Wangin ono itukyang nu kac.
7 Your country—is a desolation, Your cities—are consumed with fire, —Your soil—right before your eyes, foreigners are devouring it, And it is a desolation a very overthrow by foreigners;
Facl suwos uh arulana musalla, ac siti suwos uh firiryak nwe ke apatla. Kowos mutana ngetang ke mwetsac uh eisla acn suwos, ac kunausla ma nukewa.
8 And left is the Daughter of Zion, Like a hut in a vineyard, —Like a lodge in a gourd-plot Like a city besieged.
Acn Jerusalem mukena lula, sie siti kuhlusyukla — tia ku in oru kutena ma, oana luman sie lac lohm mwe lul lun mwet liyaung ima in grape ku ima in cucumber.
9 If, Yahweh of hosts, had not left us a very small remnant, Like Sodom, had we become, Gomorrah, had we resembled.
LEUM GOD Kulana El funu tia lela kutu sin mwet uh in moulla, Jerusalem lukun sikiyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of Yahweh, ye rulers of Sodom, —Give ear to the instruction of our God, ye people of Gomorrah: —
Jerusalem, mwet leum lom ac mwet lom elos oana mwet Sodom ac Gomorrah. Porongo ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu suwos. Lohang nu ke ma God lasr El luti nu suwos inge.
11 Of what use to me, is your multitude of sacrifices: Saith Yahweh: I am sated with ascending-offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts, —In the blood of bulls and young rams and he-goats, have I no pleasure.
El fahk, “Ya kowos nunku mu nga lungkin mwe kisa ma kowos oru nu sik? Alukela tari pisen sheep ma kowos furreak in mwe kisa, ac kiris ke kosro wowo nutuwos an. Nga totola ke srah in cow mukul ac sheep ac nani.
12 When ye enter to see my face, Who hath required this at your hand trampling my courts?
Su sap kowos in use ma inge nu yuruk ke kowos tuku in alu nu sik? Nimet sifil fahsr kihmkim in kalkal sik uh!
13 Ye shall not again bring in an empty, present, Incense, an abomination, is that unto me! New moon, and sabbath calling an assembly—I cannot endure, iniquity and sacred festival!
Wangin sripen mwe sang lowos. Nga srungala foulin mwe kisa kowos isik uh. Nga tia ku in muteng Kufwen Malem Sasu lowos, Sabbath lowos, ac tukeni in alyalu lowos — ma inge nukewa kolukla ke sripen orekma koluk lowos.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts, my soul, hateth, —They have become unto me a burden I am too weary to bear:
Nga kwase Kufwen Malem Sasu lowos ac len lulap lowos; ma ingan oana sie mwe utuk toasr su nga totola ke usya.
15 Even when ye spread forth your open palms, I hide mine eyes from you; Yea, though ye multiply prayers, I am not hearkening, —Your hands, with deeds of blood, are filled.
“Ke kowos srukak pouwos in pre, nga ac fah tia ngetot nu suwos. Finne arulana yohk pre lowos, nga fah tia porongo, tuh pouwos nukla ke srah.
16 Wash you make you clean, Put away the wickedness of your doings from before mine eyes, —Cease to do evil.
Oulkowosla sifacna in nasnas. Tulokinya orekma koluk ma kowos oru nga liye,
17 Learn to do well—Seek justice, Correct the oppressor, —Vindicate the fatherless, Plead the cause of the widow,
ac srike in oru ma suwohs. Suk nununku suwohs — kasrelos su akkohsyeyuk, sang nu sin mwet mukaimtal ma fal nu selos, ac kasru enenu lun katinmas.”
18 Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute Saith Yahweh, —Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Inge fahsru kut in aksuwosyela ma se inge. Kowos tuhn srusrala ke ma koluk lowos, tusruktu nga fah oulkowosla in fasrfasr oana snow — finne srusra fohkfok, ac fah nasnasla oana unen sheep.
19 If ye be willing—and hearken Of the good of the land, shall ye eat;
Kowos fin akosyu, kowos ac fah kang fahko wo lun acn uh.
20 But, if ye refuse and rebel, With the sword, shall ye be devoured, For, the mouth of Yahweh, hath spoken it.
A kowos fin lainyu na, kowos ac fah misa. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
21 How hath she become unchaste!—The city that was Faithful, —Full of justice, Righteousness lodged in her, But, now, murderers!
Siti se ma tuh inse pwaye meet, ekla oana moul lun sie mutan kosro. Tuh pukanten mwet suwoswos muta we meet, a inge mwet akmas mukena pa muta we.
22 Thy silver, hath become dross, —Thy wine, weakened with water;
Jerusalem, kom tuh oana silver, a inge wanginla sripom; kom tuh oana wain wowo, a inge kom oana kof.
23 Thy rulers, are unruly, and companions of thieves, Every one of the people, loveth a bribe, and runneth after rewards, —The fatherless, they do not vindicate, And, the plea of the widow, reacheth them not.
Mwet kol lom uh elos lungsena alein ac elos kawukyang nu sin mwet pisrapasr. Pacl nukewa elos lungsena eis mwe sang ac mwe eyeinse. Elos tia karingin tuh nununku suwohs in orek nu sin tulik mukaimtal ac katinmas.
24 Therefore, Declareth the Lord Yahweh of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, —Alas! I must appease me on mine adversaries, I must avenge me on mine enemies
Ke ma inge, kom in lipsre ma LEUM GOD Kulana lun Israel El fahk nu sum: “Nga ac fah foloksak lain kom, mwet lokoalok luk, na kom fah tia sifil aklokoalokyeyu.
25 That I may turn my hand against thee, And smelt away, as with potash, thy dross, And remove all thine alloy;
Nga fah srukak pouk lain kom. Nga fah aknasnasye kom oana ke osra uh aknasnasyeyuk ke e, ac eisla ma fohkfok nukewa liki kom.
26 That I may restore thy Judges as at the first, and thy Counsellors as at the beginning, —After that, shalt thou be called Righteous citadel, Trusty city, —
Nga fah sot mwet nununku ac mwet kasru su ac fah oana elos su tuh kol kowos in pacl oemeet ah. Na ac fah pangpang Jerusalem sie siti suwoswos ac pwaye nu sik.”
27 Zion, with justice shall be redeemed, —And her returning ones, with righteousness;
Ke sripen LEUM GOD El suwoswos, El ac fah molela acn Jerusalem ac mwet nukewa we su auliyak.
28 And the downfall of transgressors and sinners, shall be, together, —And, they who forsake Yahweh, shall be brought to an end;
A El ac fah kunausla mwet nukewa su orekma koluk ac lainul. El ac fah uniya mwet nukewa su ngetla lukel.
29 For they shall turn pale on account of the oaks which ye desired, —And ye shall blush on account of the gardens which ye had chosen;
Kom ac fah mwekin lah kom tuh alu nu ke sak, ac akoalye ima uh nu ke god lusrongten.
30 For ye shall be as an oak with its leaf faded, And as a garden that hath no, water;
Kom ac fah oana soko sak oak ma sra kac masla, ku oana sie ima ma wangin kof we.
31 Then shall the strong one become tow, And his work a spark, —And they shall both blaze together And there be none to quench the fire.
Oana ke mah pao uh isisyak ke sie e na srisrik, ouinge mwet su lulalfongi ku lalos ac fah kunausyukla ke sripen ma koluk lalos sifacna, ac wangin mwet ac ku in sikulya.
