Isaiah 54

1 Jerusalem, meet kom tuh oana sie mutan wangin tulik natu. A inge kom ku in on ac sasa ke engan, Mweyen ac fah pus tulik nutum Liki sie mutan su mukul tuma tiana som lukel.

Rejoice, you barren that bear not; break forth and cry, you that do not travail: for more are the children of the desolate than of her that has a husband: for the Lord has said,

2 Akyokyelik lohm nuknuk sum an; Akloesyalik sucl kac, ac akkeyala kwi ma sruok sucl an!

Enlarge the place of your tent, and of your curtains: fix [the pins], spare not, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pins;

3 Kom fah kulelik masrol lom ke siska nukewa; Mwet lom ac fah sifil eis facl ma Mutunfacl saya muta fac in pacl inge. Siti ma wangin mwet we in pacl inge ac fah tingtingi ke mwet.

spread forth [your tent] yet to the right and the left: for your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and you shall make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

4 Nimet sangeng — kom ac fah tia sifilpa akmwekinyeyuk; Kom ac fah tia sifilpa akpusiselyeyuk. Ac fah mulkinyukla tafongla lom ke pacl lom payuk fusr, Ac oayapa supwar lom ke kom katinmas.

Fear not, because you has been put to shame, neither be confounded, because you was reproached: for you shall forget your former shame, and shall no more at all remember the reproach of your widowhood.

5 El su orekomla El ac oana sie mukul tuma nu sum — LEUM GOD Kulana pa Inel. God mutal lun Israel fah molikomla — El pa leumi faclu nufon.

For [it is] the Lord that made you; the Lord of hosts is his name: and he that delivered you, he is the God of Israel, [and] shall be called [so] by the whole earth.

6 Israel, kom oana sie mutan payuk fusr Su mukul tumal el sisella, ac arulana toasr insia. Tusruktu LEUM GOD El pangonkomme nu yorol ac fahk:

The Lord has not called you as a deserted and faint-hearted woman, nor as a woman hated from [her] youth, says your God.

7 “Nga tuh siskomla ke kitin pacl, A ke pakoten lulap luk, nga fah sifil eiskom.

For a little while I left you: but with great mercy will I have compassion upon you.

8 Nga tuh kasrkusrak ac ngetla liki kom ke kitin pacl, Tusruktu inge nga fah fahkak lungse kawil luk nu sum.” Pa inge ma LEUM GOD su molikomla El fahk.

In a little wrath I turned away my face from you; but with everlasting mercy will I have compassion upon you, says the Lord that delivers you.

9 “In pacl lal Noah nga tuh wulela mu Fahlu ac tiana sifilpa musalla ke sronot. Inge nga wulela in tiana sifil kasrkusrak sum. Nga fah tia sifilpa mulat nu sum ku kai kom.

From the time of the water of Noe this is my [purpose]: as I sware to him at that time, [saying] of the earth, I will no more be angry with you, neither when you are threatened,

10 Eol uh ac inging uh ku in mokukla, A lungse luk nu sum fah tiana safla; Nga fah liyaung wuleang in misla luk nwe tok.” LEUM GOD su lungse kom El fahk ouinge.

shall the mountains depart, nor shall your hills be removed: so neither shall my mercy fail you, nor shall the covenant of your peace be at all removed: for the Lord [who is] gracious to you has spoken [it].

11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “O Jerusalem, sie siti keok su musalla tukun paka se Ac wangin mwet in akwoye kom, Nga fah sifil musaeak pwelung lom ke eot saok.

Afflicted and outcast you has not been comforted: behold, I [will] prepare carbuncle [for] your stones, and sapphire for your foundations;

12 Nga fah musai tower lom ke eot ruby, Ac mutunpot sum ke eot saromrom oana e, Ac pot ma raunikomyak ke wek saok.

and I will make your buttresses jasper, and your gates crystal, and your border precious stones.

13 “Nga ac fah sifacna luti mwet lom, Ac oru tuh elos in kapkapak ac moul in misla.

And [I will cause] all your sons [to be] taught of God, and your children [to be] in great peace.

14 Suwoswos ac pwaye ac fah oru kom in ku. Kom ac fah tia pulakin mwe keok ac mwe aksangang.

And you shall be built in righteousness: abstain from injustice, and you shall not fear; and trembling shall not come near you.

15 Fin oasr kutena mwet mweuni kom, El oru ke tia ma nga sapkin. Ac fah kutangyukla kutena mwet su mweun lain kom.

Behold, strangers shall come to you by me, and shall sojourn with you, and shall run to you for refuge.

16 “Nga pa orala mwet orekma ke osra, Su tanak sie e ac orala kufwen mwe mweun. Nga pac pa orala mwet mweun, Su orekmakin kufwen mwe mweun in uniya mwet.

Behold, I have created you, not as the coppersmith blowing coals, and bringing out a vessel [fit] for work; but I have created you, not for ruin, that [I] should destroy [you].

17 Tusruktu wangin kufwen mwe mweun ac fah kunauskomla. Ac fah oasr top lom nu selos nukewa su akkolukye kom. Nga fah loango mwet kulansap luk Ac oru tuh elos in kutangla.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.

I will not suffer any weapon formed against you to prosper; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all; and your adversaries shall be [condemned] thereby. There is an inheritance to them that serve the Lord, and you shall be righteous before me, says the Lord.
