< Isaiah 59 >

1 Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear.
Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El arulana munas in molikowosla, ku arulana sulohng ke kowos pang nu sel in suk kasru!
2 But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
Ma koluk lowos srikowosla liki God ke kowos srike in alu nu sel. Ma koluk lowos pa oru El tia lohng kowos uh.
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity.
Oasr mwatan akmas, sulallal, ac kikiap lowos.
4 There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.
Kowos tiana suk inkanek pwaye ac suwohs. Ke kowos usak mwet nu in nununku, kowos lulalfongi sramsram kikiap in akwoyekowos. Kowos akfahsrye pwapa sulal lowos in akkolukye mwet ngia.
5 They have broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
Kikiap lowos uh oswela atro lun wet pwasin, ac kutena mwet su kang atro inge ac misa. Kowos fin itungya sie atro inge na soko wet sulallal ac tuku kac. Kowos orek mungangu oana pwepenu,
6 Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, and the work of iniquity is in their hands.
na mungangu ingan tia ku in nukumyuk, ac tia ku in afinkowosi. Pwapa sulal lowos an wangin sripa — oana nuknuk ma orekla ke mungangu.
7 Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways.
Pacl nukewa kowos lumahla in oru ma koluk, ac kowos salka in tari orekla. Wanginna alolo lowos in uniya mwet wangin mwata. Yen nukewa ma kowos fahsr liki, arulana yohk ma musalla we,
8 They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
ac wangin mwet inse misla ke pacl kowos ac sikyak uh. Ma nukewa kowos oru uh sesuwos. Kowos fahsr ke inkanek kururu soko, ac wangin mwet su fahsr ke innek soko ingan ac fah moulla.
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
Mwet uh fahk, “Inge kut etu lah efu ku God El tia molikutla lukelos su akkeokye kut. Kut finsrak ke kalem kut in fahsr kac, a lohsr mukena pa kut liye.
10 We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
Kut kahlimin acn uh oana mwet kun. Kut tukulkul ke infulwen len oana in fong, oana kut in oasr in facl lohsr lun misa.
11 We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us.
Kut sangeng ac toasrla. Kut kena God Elan molikutla liki mwe keok ac tafongla, tusruktu wangin ma sikyak.
12 For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
“LEUM GOD, orekma koluk lasr ma lain kom uh puslana. Ma koluk lasr sifacna fahkkutyak. Kut arulana kalem kac nufon.
13 In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood.
Kut tuyak lain kom, siskomla, ac srunga fahsr tukum. Kut akkeokye mwet saya ac forla liki kom. Nunak lasr tafongla, ac kas lasr kikiap.
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
Kut sisla nununku suwohs, pwanang ma suwohs uh loesla liki kut. Ke acn in tukeni lun mwet uh ma pwaye uh tiana orekmakinyuk, ouinge wangin acn sin ma suwohs.
15 And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
Ke sripen sriklana ma suwohs, oru kutena mwet su tila oru ma koluk el sifacna konauk lah lainyuk el sin mwet orekma koluk.” LEUM GOD El liye ma inge, ac El arulana toasr lah suwoswos uh wanginla.
16 And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported him.
El lut ke El liye lah wangin mwet in kasru mwet akkeokyeyuk. Ke ma inge El ac orekmakin ku lal sifacna in molelosla ac in eis kutangla.
17 He put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
El fah nokomang suwoswos oana sie mwe loeyuk iniwal, ac el fah sunya lango in oana sie susu osra. El fah nokmulang ke sulela na ku lal sifacna in oakiya ma suwohs, ac in kai ac foloksak ke ma sufal ma mwet uh keok kac.
18 As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
El fah kalyei mwet lokoalok lal fal nu ke ma elos oru, finne elos su muta in facl loesula.
19 And they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
Kutulap lac nwe roto, mwet nukewa fah sangeng sel ac ke ku lulap lal. El ac fah tuku oana soko infacl sronoti, ac oana sie eng upa ma tuhyak.
20 And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith the Lord.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Nga ac fah tuku nu Jerusalem in loangekowos ac moli kowos nukewa su forla liki ma koluk lowos.
21 This is my covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
Ac nga oru wuleang se inge yuruwos: Nga sot ku luk ac mwe luti luk tuh in ma lowos nwe tok, ac ingela kowos in akosyu ac luti tulik nutuwos ac filin tulik nutuwos in akosyu ke pacl nukewa fahsru.”
