Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye these things, O house of Jacob, you that are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Juda, you who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in justice.
Porongo ma se inge, kowos mwet Israel Su ma in fwilin tulik natul Judah: Kowos fulahk ke Inen LEUM GOD Ac fahk mu kowos alu nu sin God lun Israel, Tusruktu wanginna kalmen ma kowos fahk uh.
2 For they are called of the holy city, and are established upon the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Kowos filangkin in fahk mu Kowos mwet in siti mutal sac, Ac lah kowos filiya lulalfongi lowos in God lun Israel, Su Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
3 The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Israel, “Oemeet nga tuh fahkak ma ac sikyak; Na in kitin pacl ah na, nga orala sikyak.
4 For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.
Nga nuna etu lah pwaye kowos ac mau likkeke, Upa oana osra, ac keke oana bronze.
5 I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.
Ouinge nga palyeak ma ac sikyak nu suwos ke pacl loeloes somla — Nga fahkak ke ma ac orek meet liki na pacl sikyak uh, In oru kowos in tia fahk mu Ma sruloala ac mwe lemlem lowos pa oru in sikyak.
6 See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:
“Ma nukewa nga tuh fahkak meet, liye pa sikyak tari inge. Kowos enenu in akilen lah ma nga tuh fahk ah pwayena. Inge nga ac fahk nu suwos ke ma sasu su ac fah tuku, Ke kutu ma lukma ma nga tiana fahkak meet.
7 They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.
Nga tufacna oru ma inge in sikyak; Wangin ma ouinge orek in pacl somla. Funu oasr, kowos lukun fahk mu kowos etu tari kac.
8 Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.
Nga nuna etu lah tia ku in lulalfongiyuk kowos, Mweyen eteyuk lah kowos mwet utuk nunak. Pa sis kowos tiana wi lohng ke ma inge, Ac wanginna kas kac sun insrewos.
9 For my name’s sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.
“In oru tuh mwet uh in kaksakin Inek, Nga kutongya kasrkusrak luk. Nga sruokyana tuh nga in tia kunauskowosla.
10 Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.
Nga srike kowos ke e lun keok, Oana ke silver uh liklikiyukla in sie funyu, Ac nga konauk lah wangin ma wo keiwos.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.
Ma nga oru uh nga oru ke sripuk — Nga fah tia lela Inek in pilesreyuk Ku lela kutena mwet saya in ipeis ke wolana Su fal in ma na luk, ac ma luk mukena.”
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, mwet su nga pangonak, porongeyu! Nga mukefanna pa God! Nga pa emeet ac nga pa etok!
13 My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together.
Pouk pa orala pwelung lun faclu Ac laknelik inkusrao. Ke nga pang nu ke faclu ac kusrao Elos sulaklak na tuku ac tu ye mutuk.
14 Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
“Kowos nukewa toeni nu sie ac lipsre! Wangin sie inmasrlon god uh ku in palye Lah mwet se nga sulela uh ac fah sroang mweuni Babylon. El ac fah oru ma nga lungse elan oru.
15 I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous.
Nga pa tuh kaskas ac pangnol ah; Nga kololma ac nga fah oru tuh in wo ouiyal.
16 Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit.
“Inge kaluku nu yuruk ac lohng ma nga fahk uh. Ke mutawauk ah me, nga kaskas kalem na, Ac oru tuh kas luk in akpwayeiyuk pacl nukewa.” (Inge LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ase ku lal nu sik ac supweyu.)
17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest.
God mutal lun Israel, LEUM GOD su molikowosla, El fahk, “Nga pa LEUM GOD lowos, Su lungse luti kowos ke ma ac wo nu suwos sifacna, Ac in kol kowos nu ke inkanek ma fal kowos in fahsr kac.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,
“Kowos funu lohang nu ke ma sap luk, Mwe insewowo lukun kahkma Oana soko infacl ma tia wi mihnla. Kutangla lukun tuku nu suwos Oana noa ma tok weacn uh.
19 And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.
Fwilin tulik nutuwos lukun arulana pusla oana puk uh, Ac nga lukun oru elos in tiana wi kunausyukla.”
20 Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Tufokla liki acn Babylon, som ac sukosok! Kowos in engan ac sulkakin pweng wo se inge akyokye; oru in eteyuk yen nukewa: “LEUM GOD El molela Israel, mwet kulansap lal!”
21 They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Ke LEUM GOD El pwen mwet lal sasla sie acn fol ac pao yen mwesis, Elos tiana keok ke malu. El orala kof in tuku liki sie eot nu selos; El falngelik eot sac, ac kof uh asrma.
22 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
