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 keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to 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 hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him? he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.
3 El ukwalos ac fahsrna nu meet tia sensen — Arulana mui, oru oana elan tiana pusral infohk uh!
He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall 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 hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? 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 feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came.
6 Mwet pisrla in orekma elos akasrui ac akkeye sie sin sie.
Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.
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 hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should 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 thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:
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.
In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.
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.
Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee.
11 “Elos su kasrkusrak suwos ac fah Kutangyukla ac mwekinla. Elos su mweun lain kowos fah misa,
Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee.
12 Ac elos fah wanginla liki faclu.
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee.
13 Nga LEUM GOD lowos; Nga akkeye kowos ac fahk nu suwos, ‘Nik kowos sangeng; nga fah kasrekowos.’”
For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee.
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, thou worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy 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 made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: thou shall thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt make the hills as 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.
Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.
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 needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake 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 bills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.
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 in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, 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.”
That they may see and know, and consider, and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath 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 cause near, saith the Lord: bring hither, if you have any thing to allege, saith 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 come, and tell us all things that are to come: tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them, and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are to come.
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!
Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.
24 Kowos arulana wangin sripa, ac wangin ma kowos ku in oru! Mwet nukewa su alu nu suwos elos mwe srungayuk!
Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath 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 shall come from the rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes to be as dirt, and as the potter treading 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 bath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth, nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth 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 shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give 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 even among 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 in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
