Isaiah 41
1 God El fahk, “Misla ac porongeyu, kowos acn loessula! Akola in fahkak mwe lohngyuk lowos ke pacl in nununku; Ac fah oasr pacl lowos in kaskas. Lela kut in tukeni ac konauk lah su kac pwaye se.
Let the islands be silent before me, and let the nations take new strength. Let them draw near, and then speak. Let us apply for judgment together.
2 “Su tuh use mwet leum se inge liki acn kutulap, Ac oru elan kutangla yen nukewa el fahsr we? Su sang nu sel kutangla fin tokosra uh ac mutunfacl uh? Cutlass natul pakelosi oana in kutkut pa elos. Mwe pisr natul ukwaloselik oana sruen mah in pacl eng uh tuhme.
Who has raised up a just man from the east, and has called him to follow him? He will place the nations under his gaze, and he will rule over kings. He will cause them to be like dust before his sword, like chaff driven by the wind before his bow.
3 El ukwalos ac fahsrna nu meet tia sensen — Arulana mui, oru oana elan tiana pusral infohk uh!
He will pursue them. He will pass by in peace. No trace will appear after his feet.
4 Su oru ma inge in sikyak uh? Su wotela ma in sikyak ke fwil nu ke fwil? Nga, LEUM GOD, nuna oasr oe ke mutawauk me, Ac nga, LEUM GOD, fah oasr pac ke saflaiya.
Who has worked and accomplished these things, calling to the generations from the beginning? “It is I, the Lord! I am the first and the last.”
5 “Mwet yen loessula elos liye tari ma nga orala; Elos tuninfongla ac rarrar ke sangeng. Ouinge elos nukewa tukeni tuku.
The islands saw it and were afraid. The ends of the earth were stupefied. They drew near and arrived.
6 Mwet pisrla in orekma elos akasrui ac akkeye sie sin sie.
Each one will help his neighbor and will say to his brother, “Be strengthened.”
7 Mwet kamtu el fahk nu sin mwet orekma ke gold, ‘Wona orekma lom an!’ Mwet se su akfwelye ma sruloala se El akkeye el su folsani nu sie. Elos fahk, ‘Wona fulusyen osra ingan!’ — Na elos patkeni ma sruloala sac nu yen se.
The coppersmith striking with the mallet encouraged him who was forging at that time, saying, “It is ready for soldering.” And he strengthened it with nails, so that it would not be moved.
8 “Tusruktu kowos, mwet Israel, su mwet kulansap luk, Fwilin tulik natul Abraham, mwet kawuk luk, Kowos pa nga sulela uh.
But you, O Israel, are my servant, O Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of my friend Abraham.
9 Nga uskowosme liki acn loeslana faclu; Nga pangonkowosme liki eng akosr lun faclu, Ac fahk nu suwos, ‘Kowos mwet kulansap luk.’ Nga tiana siskowosla, a nga sulekowosla.
For his sake, I have taken you from the ends of the earth, and I have called you from its distant places. And I said to you: “You are my servant. I have chosen you, and I have not cast you aside.”
10 Nimet sangeng — nga wi kowos! Nga God lowos — nimet lela kutena ma in aksangengye kowos. Nga fah kasrekowos ac oru kowos in ku; Nga fah loangekowos ac moli kowos.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not turn away, for I am your God. I have strengthened you, and I have assisted you, and the right hand of my just one has upheld you.
11 “Elos su kasrkusrak suwos ac fah Kutangyukla ac mwekinla. Elos su mweun lain kowos fah misa,
Behold, all who fight against you shall be confounded and ashamed. They will be as if they did not exist, and the men who contradict you will perish.
12 Ac elos fah wanginla liki faclu.
You will seek them, and you will not find them. The men who rebel against you will be as if they did not exist. And the men who make war against you will be like something that has been consumed.
13 Nga LEUM GOD lowos; Nga akkeye kowos ac fahk nu suwos, ‘Nik kowos sangeng; nga fah kasrekowos.’”
For I am the Lord your God. I take you by your hand, and I say to you: Do not be afraid. I have helped you.
14 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Israel, kom finne srik ac munas, Nik kom sangeng; nga fah kasrekom. Nga, God mutal lun Israel, nga pa ac molikomla.
Fear not, O worm of Jacob, you who are dead within Israel. I have helped you, says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 Nga fah oru kom in oana sie ipinsak in kulkul wheat Ma oasr wihs sasu ac kosroh kac. Kom fah koe eol uh ac kunausla; Inging uh ac fah mokutkuti.
I have established you like a new threshing cart, having serrated blades. You will thresh the mountains and crush them. And you will turn the hills into chaff.
16 Kom fah sisak kutkut uh nu yen engyeng uh Ac eng uh ac okla, Na paka ac fah sisalik. Na kom fah engan mweyen nga God lom; Kom fah kaksakinyu, God mutal lun Israel.
You will winnow them, and the wind will blow them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. And you shall exult in the Lord; you shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
17 “Ke pacl mwet luk oasr enenu lalos ke kof Ac kapinsrulyalos paola ke malu, Na nga, LEUM GOD, fah topuk pre lalos. Nga, God lun Israel, fah tiana som lukelos.
The indigent and the poor are seeking water, but there is none. Their tongue has been dried up by thirst. I, the Lord, will heed them. I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.
18 Nga fah oru infacl uh in soror inmasrlon inging turangang, Ac unon in kof in kahkkak infahlfal uh. Nga fah ekulla yen mwesis nu ke lulu in kof Ac acn pulamlam nu ke unon in kof.
I will open rivers in the high hills, and fountains in the midst of the plains. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the impassable land into streams of water.
19 Nga fah oru sak cedar in kapak yen mwesis Wi pac sak acacia, myrtle, ac olive. Insak lulap ac fah kapak in acn turangang, Ac sak pine, juniper, ac cypress puspis ac fah kap we.
I will plant the cedar in a deserted place, with the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree. In the desert, I will plant the pine, and the elm, and the box tree together,
20 Mwet uh ac fah liye ma inge ac etu lah Nga, LEUM GOD, pa oru. Elos ac kalem kac lah God mutal lun Israel pa oru ma inge nukewa.”
so that they may see and know, acknowledge and understand, together, that the hand of the Lord has accomplished this, and that the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD, tokosra lun Israel, El fahk: “Kowos god lun mutunfacl uh, fahsru fahkak mwe tukak lowos, Ac use mwe akpwaye nukewa ma oasr yuruwos!
Bring your case forward, says the Lord. Bring it here, if you have anything to allege, says the King of Jacob.
22 Fahsru ac palye lah mea ac sikyak Kut in mau etu ke ac sikyak uh. Fahkak ye mutun mwet nununku ma sikyak in pacl somla Na fahk nu sesr lah mea kalmac.
Let them approach and announce to us the things that will occur. Announce to us the things that were before. And we will apply our heart to them, and we will know their end. And so, reveal to us the things that will occur.
23 Fahk nu sesr ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru, Na kut fah etu lah pwaye kowos god! Oru kutu ma wo an, ku use kutu mwe lokoalok an Ma kut ac lut ku sangengla kac!
Announce the things that will occur in the future, and we will know that you are gods. Likewise, accomplish good or evil, if you are able, and let us speak of it and see it together.
24 Kowos arulana wangin sripa, ac wangin ma kowos ku in oru! Mwet nukewa su alu nu suwos elos mwe srungayuk!
Behold, you exist out of nothing, and your work is from what does not exist; he who has chosen you is an abomination.
25 “Nga sulela mukul se su muta in acn kutulap! Nga fah usalu elan mweun epang me. El ac futungya mwet leum uh oana fohk furarrar uh, In oana ke sie mwet orek ahlu fohk el futung fohk kle.
I have raised up one from the north, and he will arrive from the rising of the sun. He will call upon my name, and he will reduce magistrates to mud, like a potter working with clay.
26 Su suwos palyeak lah ma inge ac sikyak, Tuh kut fah ku in fahk lah pwaye sum? Tiana sie suwos fahkla sie kas kac — Wangin mwet lohng kowos fahkla kutena ma!
Who has announced this from its rising, so that we may know it, or from its beginning, so that we may say, “You are just.” There is no one who either announces, or predicts, or hears your words.
27 Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk emeet pweng se inge nu sin Zion. Nga supwala sie mwet utuk kas nu Jerusalem in fahk, ‘Mwet lom elos tuku! Elos foloko nu yen selos!’
The first one will say to Zion: “Behold, they are here,” and to Jerusalem, “I will present an evangelist.”
28 Ke nga suk inmasrlon god uh, Tia sie selos oasr ma se in fahk; Wangin sie selos ku in topuk ma nga siyuk.
And I saw, and there was no one among any of them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
29 Wangin sripen god inge nukewa; Wangin na pwaye ma elos ku in orala. Ma sruloala inge munas ac wangin ku lalos.”
Behold, they are all unjust, and their works are empty. Their idols are wind and emptiness.
