< Isaiah 23 >

1 The burden of Tyre. Wail, you ships of the sea! For the house, from which they were accustomed to go forth, has been laid waste. From the land of Kittim, this has been revealed to them.
Kas in fahkak inge ma ke acn Tyre. Wowoyak ac asor, kowos mwet kalkal fin meoa! Acn suwos, Tyre, kunausyukla; lohm we ac molsron we wanginla. Ke oak okowos ac foloko liki acn Cyprus, kowos ac fah lohng pweng kac.
2 Be silent, you inhabitants of the island! The merchants of Sidon, crossing over the sea, have filled you.
Kowos in tung mwemelil, kowos mwet kuka lun Sidon! Kowos supu mwet
3 The offspring of the Nile is in the midst of many waters. The harvest of the river is her crop. And she has become the marketplace of the nations.
in tupalla meoa in moli ac kukakin wheat ma kap ke acn Shihor sisken infacl Nile in acn Egypt, ac in oru inkanek in kuka lalos yurin mutunfacl puspis.
4 Be ashamed, O Sidon! For the sea speaks, the strength of the sea, saying: “I have not been in labor, and I have not given birth, and I have not raised young men, nor have I promoted the development of virgins.”
Siti Sidon, kom akmwekinyeyukla! Meoa ac acn loallana meoa siskomla ac fahk, “Wanginna tulik nga oswela. Nga soenna tufahla wen ku acn.”
5 When it has been heard in Egypt, they will be in anguish, when they hear of Tyre.
Finne mwet Egypt elos ac fah lut ac oela pacl se elos lohng lah kunausyukla acn Tyre.
6 Cross over the seas. Wail, you inhabitants of the island!
Mwet Phoenicia, kowos in wowoyak ac tung! Srike in kaing nu Tarshish!
7 Is this not your place, which from its earliest days has gloried in its antiquity? Her feet will lead her to a sojourn far away.
Mea pwaye lah pa inge Tyre, siti na pwar se ma musaiyukla ke pacl na loes somla? Ya pa inge siti se ma supwala mwet in tupalla meoa ac eis acn ingo tuh in acn selos?
8 Who has made this plan against Tyre, which formerly was crowned, whose merchants were leaders, whose traders were illustrious on the earth?
Su lumahla tuh mwe ongoiya inge nukewa in sikyak nu fin acn Tyre, siti fulat sac, su mwet kuka we elos fisrak ac akfulatyeyuk emeet fin faclu?
9 The Lord of hosts has planned this, so that he may tear down the arrogance of all glory, and may bring disgrace to all the illustrious of the earth.
LEUM GOD Kulana pa lumahla. El oru in tulokinya filang lalos ke ma elos orala, ac in aktonongyala mwet fulat lalos.
10 Cross through your land, as through a river, O daughter of the sea. You no longer have a belt.
Fahla ac orek ima, kowos mwet Tyre su muta in acn Tarshish! Wangin sie ac fah sifil loangekowos.
11 He has extended his hand over the sea. He has stirred up kingdoms. The Lord has given an order against Canaan, so that he may crush its strong.
LEUM GOD El asroela paol fin meoa ac kutangla tokosrai uh. El sap tuh pot ku lun Phoenicia in kunausyukla.
12 And he said: “You shall no longer increase so as to glory, while enduring calumny, O virgin daughter of Sidon. Rise up and set sail for Kittim; in that place, too, there will be no rest for you.”
Siti Sidon, insewowo lom safla, ac mwet lom akkeokyeyuk. Elos finne kaing nu Cyprus, elos ac tiana konauk misla we.
13 Behold, the land of the Chaldeans: never before was there such a people! Assur founded it. They have led away its strong ones into captivity. They have dug under its houses. They have left it in ruins.
(Tia mwet Assyria pa oru kosro lemnak uh in utyak ac nwakla acn Tyre, a mwet Babylonia. Mwet Babylonia pa tulokunak nien fan sisken pot we, ac fukulya acn ku lun Tyre, ac sisla in oan musalla.)
14 Wail, you ships of the sea! For your strength has been devastated.
Wowoyak ac asor, kowos mwet kalkal meoa uh! Kunausyukla siti se ma kowos kukin.
15 And this shall be in that day: you, O Tyre, will be forgotten for seventy years, like the days of one king. Then, after seventy years, there will be, for Tyre, something like the canticle of a harlot.
Pacl se ac tuku ke acn Tyre ac mulkinyukla ke yac itngoul, lusenna moul lun sie tokosra. Ke ac safla yac inge, acn Tyre ac fah oana mutan kosro se ke on soko ma fahk mu:
16 Take up a stringed instrument. Circulate through the city, you harlot who had been forgotten. Sing many canticles well, so that you may be remembered.
Kom, mutan kosro se ma mulkinyukla, Eis harp nutum ac forfor in siti uh! Srital ac sifilpa onkakin on lom In sifil esamyukyak kom.
17 And this shall be after seventy years: the Lord will visit Tyre, and he will lead her back to her profits. And she will fornicate again with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Ke yac itngoul ac safla, LEUM GOD El ac lela Tyre in folokla nu ke inkanek in kuka matu lal, ac el ac fah kukakunulla sifacna nu sin tokosrai nukewa lun faclu.
18 And her businesses and her profits will be sanctified to the Lord. They will not be locked away and they will not be stored. For her business will be for those who will live in the presence of the Lord, so that they may eat until satisfied, and may be well-clothed even into old age.
Mani ma el sruokya ke kuka lal uh ac fah kisaiyukyang nu sin LEUM GOD. Acn Tyre ac fah tia elosak ma inge nu sel sifacna ku filiya in nien filma lal, a ac fah orekmakinyuk in kasrelos su lafwekunulosla nu sin LEUM GOD, in akfalye enenu lalos ke mwe mongo ac nuknuk lalos.
