Isaiah 48
1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah; which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
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 call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves 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 I have declared the former things from of old; yea, they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them: suddenly I did them, 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 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Nga nuna etu lah pwaye kowos ac mau likkeke, Upa oana osra, ac keke oana bronze.
5 therefore I have declared it to thee from of old; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath 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 Thou hast heard it; behold all this; and ye, will ye not declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, which thou hast not known.
“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 from of old; and before this day thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest 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 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from of old thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou didst deal very treacherously, and wast called 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 will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
“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 affliction.
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 mine own sake, for mine own sake, will I do it; for how should [my name] be profaned? and my glory will I not give 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 unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also 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 Yea, mine hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up 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, all ye, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he shall perform his pleasure on 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; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Nga pa tuh kaskas ac pangnol ah; Nga kololma ac nga fah oru tuh in wo ouiyal.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: 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, which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
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 Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness 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 thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the grains thereof: his name should not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Fwilin tulik nutuwos lukun arulana pusla oana puk uh, Ac nga lukun oru elos in tiana wi kunausyukla.”
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans; with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth: say ye, 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 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, 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, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Wangin misla nu sin mwet koluk.”
