Isaiah 55
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahsru, kowos nukewa su malu — Kof pa inge! Fahsru kowos su wangin mani la — Mongo ac nim! Fahsru! Moul wain ac milk — Ac fah wangin molo!
“Hey! Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat! Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Efu ku kowos sisi mani ke ma ac tia akinsewowoye kowos? Efu ku kowos sisla molin orekma lowos ac srakna masrinsral? Porongeyu ac oru ma nga fahk uh, Na kowos fah engankin mwe mongo ma wo emeet uh.
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
3 “Mwet luk, porongeyu ac fahsru nu yuruk; Fahsru nu yuruk, na ac fah oasr moul lowos! Nga ac oru sie wuleang inmasrlok ac kowos su wangin saflaiya, Ac nga fah sot nu suwos mwe insewowo ma nga tuh wuleang nu sel David.
Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Nga oru tuh elan sie mwet kol ac leum lun mutunfacl uh, Ac nga akkalemye ku luk kacl.
Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Inge kowos fah suli mutunfacl saya uh. Sie pacl ah, elos tuh tia etekowos, A inge elos ac kasrusr tuku in wi kowos! Nga, LEUM GOD lowos, God mutal lun Israel, Fah oru ma inge nukewa in sikyak; Nga fah sot nu suwos sunak ac wolana.”
Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.”
6 Suk LEUM GOD ke kowos srakna ku in konalak, Pre nu sel inge ke El apkuran.
Seek the LORD while he may be found. Call on him while he is near.
7 Lela mwet koluk in sisla ouiyen moul lalos, Ac in ekulla ouiyen nunak lalos. Lela elos in forla nu sin LEUM GOD lasr; El pakoten ac sa in nunak munas.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nunak luk, tia oana nunak lowos, Ac inkanek luk siena liki inkanek lowos.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says the LORD.
9 Oana ke kusrao arulana fulat liki faclu, Ouinge inkanek luk fulat liki inkanek lowos, Ac nunak luk liki nunak lowos.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “Kas luk oana snow ac af Ma kahk inkusrao me in aksroksrokye faclu. Af uh oru sacn uh in kap Tuh in oasr fita mwe yok, ac in isus fahko mwe mongo.
For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
11 Ac fah oapana inge ke kas ma nga fahk uh — Ac fah tia tafongla liki ma nga sapkin uh, A ac fah orekla ma nukewa fal nu ke lungse luk.
so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
12 “Kowos ac fah som liki acn Babylon ke engan lulap; Ac fah kokola kowos liki siti uh in misla. Eol uh ac inging uh fah wowoyak ke on, Ac sak uh fah sasa ke engan.
For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields will clap their hands.
13 Sak cypress fah kap ke acn ma mah fakfuk uh kapak we. Acn ma oasr kokul we inge, sak myrtle fah kapak we. Pa inge sie mwe akul ma ac oanna nwe tok, Sie mwe akesmak ke ma nga, LEUM GOD, orala.”
Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for the LORD, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
