Isaiah 65
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga tuh akola in topuk pre lun mwet luk, a elos tiana pre. Nga tuh akola elos in koneyuyak, a elos tiana srike in sukyu. Mutanfahl se inge tiana pre nu sik, nga finne akola pacl nukewa in topkolos, ‘Nga pa inge; nga fah kasrekowos.’
“I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek. I said, 'Here I am! Here I am!' to a nation that did not call on my name.
2 Nga akola pacl nukewa in paing mwet luk, su likkekelana in oru ma sutuu ac fahsr ke inkanek lalos sifacna.
I have spread out my hands all day to a stubborn people, who walk in a way that is not good, who have walked after their own thoughts and plans!
3 Elos tiana mwekin in akkasrkusrakyeyu pacl nukewa. Elos oru mwe kisa nu ke ma sruloala in ima oal lalos, ac furreak mwe keng fin loang lun mwet pegan.
They are a people who continually offend me, offering sacrifices in gardens, and burning incense on brick tiles.
4 Ke fong uh elos som nu in luf ac nu ke kulyuk, in lolngok yurin ngunin mwet misa. Elos kang ikwen pig ac nim sronin ikwa ma kisakinyuk ke ouiya lun mwet pegan.
They sit among the graves and keep watch all night, and eat pork with the broth of foul meat in their dishes.
5 Na elos fahk nu sin mwet ngia, ‘Nimet kaluku nu yorosr. Kut mutallana, ac sufal kowos in pusral kut.’ Nga koflana muteng kain mwet ouingan — kasrkusrak luk kaclos oana sie e na ngeng ma tia ku in kunla.
They say, 'Stand away, do not come near to me, for I am holier than you.' These things are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all day long.
6 “Nga nunkala tari kalya ma fal nu selos, ac simla pac tari ma ac orek nu selos. Nga fah tia likinsai ma elos orala tari, a nga ac fah folokin nu selos
Look, it is written before me: I will not keep quiet, for I will pay them back; I will repay them into their laps,
7 fal nu ke ma koluk lalos ac oayapa ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos. Elos esukak mwe keng fin inging uh ke nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac fahk kas koluk keik. Ouinge nga fah kaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk lalos.”
for their sins and the sins of their fathers together,” says Yahweh. “I will repay them for burning incense on the mountains and for mocking me on the hills. I will therefore measure out their past deeds into their laps.”
8 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin mwet sisla ung in grape fon se, a elos ac srela ma wo kac in orekmakin nu ke wain. Ouinge nga fah tia pac kunausla mwet luk nukewa — nga ac molela mwet su kulansupweyu.
This is what Yahweh says, “As when juice is found in a cluster of grapes, when one says, 'Do not ruin it, for there is good in it,' this is what I will do for my servants' sake: I will not ruin them all.
9 Nga ac fah akinsewowoye mwet Israel su ma in sruf lun Judah, ac fwilin tulik natulos fah usrui acn sik in eol uh. Mwet solla luk su kulansupweyu fah muta we.
I will bring descendants from Jacob, and from Judah ones who will possess my mountains. My chosen ones will possess the land, and my servants will live there.
10 Elos fah alu nu sik, ac fah pwen sheep ac cow natulos nu insroan mah in acn Tupasrpasr lun Sharon layen nu roto, ac nu Infahlfal in Ongoiya layen nu kutulap.
Sharon will become a pasture for the flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.
11 “Tusruktu ac fah tia ouinge nu suwos su ngetla likiyu ac mulkunla Zion, eol mutal sik, ac alu nu sel Gad — god lun wo ouiya, ac nu sel Meni — god lun ongoiya.
But you who abandon Yahweh, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and fill wine glasses of mixed wine for Destiny.
12 Ac fah koluk ouiya nu suwos ac kowos ac anwuki ke cutlass, mweyen kowos tia topuk ke pacl nga pangon kowos, ku porongo ke pacl nga kaskas. Kowos sulela in seakosyu ac oru ma koluk.
I will appoint you for the sword, and you will all bow down to the slaughter, because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not listen. But you did what was evil in my sight and and chose to do what displeases me.”
13 Ouinge nga fahk nu suwos lah elos su alu nu sik ac akosyu fah pukanten mwe mongo nalos ac mwe nim nimalos, a kowos fah masrinsral ac malu. Elos ac fah engan, a kowos ac fah akmwekinyeyuk.
This is what the Lord Yahweh says, “Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty; look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
14 Elos ac fah on ke engan, a kowos ac tung ke asor ac toasr.
Look, my servants will shout with joy because of gladness of heart, but you will cry because of the pain of the heart, and will wail because of the crushing of the spirit.
15 Inewos fah sie kas in selnga lun mwet solla luk. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulatlana, fah lela in anwuki kowos. Tusruktu nga fah sang sie ine sasu nu selos su akosyu.
You will leave behind your name as a curse for my chosen ones to speak; I, the Lord Yahweh, will kill you; I will call my servants by another name.
16 Kutena mwet in facl se inge su siyuk in akinsewowoyeyuk el, fah siyuk mwe insewowo sin God lun ma pwaye. Kutena mwet su orala kas in fulahk ku lal, fah oru ke Inen God lun ma pwaye. Ma koluk nukewa ke pacl somla ac fah wanginla ac mulkinyukla.”
Whoever pronounces a blessing on the earth will be blessed by me, the God of truth. Whoever takes an oath on the earth will swear by me, the God of truth, because the former troubles will be forgotten, for they will be hidden from my eyes.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga orala kusrao sasu ac sie fahlu sasu. Ma meet ah ac fah mulkinyukla.
For see, I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or be brought to mind.
18 Kowos in engan ac insewowo nwe tok ke ma nga oru inge. Jerusalem sasu ma nga ac oru ac fah sessesla ke engan, ac mwet we ac fah insewowo.
But you will be glad and rejoice forever in what I am about to create. See, I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and her people as a delight.
19 Nga sifacna fah arulana enganak ke Jerusalem ac mwet we. Ac fah wangin pusren tung ac asor we.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem and be glad over my people; weeping and cries of distress will no longer be heard in her.
20 Tulik srisrik ac fah tia sifilpa misa ke srakna fusr, ac mwet nukewa ac fah loes moul lalos. Elos su moul nwe sun yac siofok ac fah liyeyuk mu elos srakna fusr. Mwet se fin misa meet liki pacl sacn, ac fah sie akul lah nga kalyaelos.
Never again will an infant live there only a few days; nor will an old man die before his time. One who dies at one hundred years old will be considered a young person. Anyone who fails to reach the age of one hundred years old will be considered cursed.
21 Elos fah musai lohm ac muta loac; elos ac yukwi ima in grape ac kang fahko kac.
They will build houses and inhabit them, and they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 Elos ac tia musai na kutepacna mwet muta loac. Elos ac tia yukwi ima in grape na kutepacna mwet nim wain kac. Tuh mwet luk fah moul paht, oana lusen moul lun sak uh. Elos ac arulana engankin fokin orekma lalos.
No longer will they build a house and another live in it; they will not plant, and another eat; for as the days of trees will be the days of my people. My chosen will fully outlive the work of their hands.
23 Orekma elos oru ac fah wo ouiya, ac tulik natulos fah tia sun ongoiya. Nga fah akinsewowoyalos ac fwilin tulik natulos nwe tok.
They will not labor in vain, nor give birth to dismay. For they are the children of those blessed by Yahweh, and their descendants with them.
24 Meet liki safla pre lalos nu sik, nga ac topuk mwe siyuk lalos.
Before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
25 Kosro wolf ac sheep fusr ac fah tukeni mongo. Lion uh ac fah mongo mah oana cow uh, ac wet pwasin ac fah tia sifil sensenkinyuk. Fineol Zion, eol mutal sik, ac fah wangin kutena mwe ngal ku ma koluk we.”
The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; but dust will be the serpent's food. They will no longer hurt nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says Yahweh.
