< Isaiah 64 >

1 Saok kom in seya inkusrao ac oatume! Eol uh lukun liye kom ac rarrar ke sangeng sum.
Oh that you would tear the heavens, that you would come down, that the mountains might quake at your presence—
2 Oana ke e uh esukak etong ac oru kof uh in poel, ouinge tuku lom fah oru Inem in eteyuk sin mwet lokoalok lom, ac oru mutanfahl uh in rarrar ye motom!
as when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil. Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!
3 Oasr pacl se meet kom tuh tuku ac oru mwe aksangeng lulap ma kut tiana nunku mu ac sikyak. Eol uh liye kom ac kusrusryak ke sangeng.
When you did awesome things which we didn’t look for, you came down, and the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 Wangin mwet nu liye ku lohng ke sie God oana kom, su orek mwenmen ouinge nu selos su filiya finsrak lalos in El.
For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides you, who works for him who waits for him.
5 Kom insewowo in osun nu selos su engan in oru ma suwohs, elos su esam ouiyen moul ma kom lungse elos in moulkin. Kom tuh kasrkusrak sesr, a kut oru na ma koluk. Kom ne arulana toasr sesr, a kut srakna oru ma sutuu oemeet me.
You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, those who remember you in your ways. Behold, you were angry, and we sinned. We have been in sin for a long time. Shall we be saved?
6 Kut nukewa oru ma koluk; finne orekma wo ma kut oru, a fohkfok oana nuknuk fohkfok uh. Ke sripen ma koluk lasr, kut oana sra ma masla ac ukukla ke eng uh.
For we have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
7 Wangin sie foroht nu sum in pre. Wangin sie som nu yurum in suk kasru. Kom wikinkomla sifacna liki kut, ac som liki kut ke sripen ma koluk lasr.
There is no one who calls on your name, who stirs himself up to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.
8 Tusruktu, LEUM GOD, kom papa tumasr. Kut oana fohk kle, ac kom oana mwet orek ahlu kle. Kom orekutla,
But now, LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.
9 ke ma inge, nimet arulana kasrkusrak sesr, ku esam na ma koluk lasr nwe tok. Kut mwet lom. Pakoten nu sesr.
Don’t be furious, LORD. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.
10 Siti mutal nukewa sum ekla oana acn mwesis. Acn Jerusalem sikiyukla ac wanginla mwet we.
Your holy cities have become a wilderness. Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
11 Tempul lasr uh firriyukyak — acn mutal ac kato se ma mwet matu lasr meet ah tuh kaksakin kom we. Acn nukewa ma kut lungse meet ah musalsalu.
Our holy and our beautiful house where our fathers praised you is burnt with fire. All our pleasant places are laid waste.
12 LEUM GOD, ya ma inge tiana wakrekom? Ya wanginna ma kom ac oru, ac kom ac akkeokye kut yohk liki ma kut ku in mutangla?
Will you hold yourself back for these things, LORD? Will you keep silent and punish us very severely?
