Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
We nu selos su som nu Egypt in suk kasru! Elos lulalfongi ke ku lulap lun Egypt — ke horse ac chariot puspis, ac un mwet mweun lalos. Elos tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD mutal lun Israel, ku siyuk kasru sel.
2 Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.
El lalmwetmet in ma El oru! El supu mwe ongoiya. El ac akfalye kas lal in kalyei mwet koluk oayapa elos su loangelos.
3 But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
Mwet Egypt uh tia god-elos mwet na. Wangin pac ku mwenmen lun horse natulos. Pacl se LEUM GOD El ac srukak ku lal, mutunfacl na ku ac fah tukulkul, ac mutunfacl munas ma kasreyuk ac ikori. Acn inge kewa ac fah kunausyukla.
4 For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey— and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet shepherd uh finne sasa ac wowo, elos tia ku in lusla soko lion liki kosro soko ma el uniya. In ouiya sacna, wangin ma ku in tulokinyuwi, LEUM GOD Kulana, liki in loango Eol Zion.
5 Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”
Oana ke sie won el pikpik fin ahng lal in loango ma fusr natul, ouinge nga LEUM GOD Kulana fah karingin Jerusalem ac loangel.”
6 Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.
God El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos orekma koluk lainyu ac kisrung ma nga oru. Tusruktu inge kowos foloko nu yuruk!
7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
Pacl se ac tuku ke kowos nukewa ac fah sisla ma sruloala koluk ma kowos orala ke silver ac gold.
8 “Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
Acn Assyria ac fah kunausyukla ke mweun, ac tia ke ku lun mwet. Mwet Assyria ac fah kaing liki mweun, ac mukul fusr lalos ac fah utukla nu in kohs.
9 Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Tokosra fulat lalos ac fah sangeng ac kaingla, ac mwet leum lalos ac fah arulana tuninfongla, oru elos ac sisla flag in mweun lalos.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge — LEUM GOD su akfulatyeyuk in Jerusalem, ac su e lal firir we mwe kisa.
