< Isaiah 7 >
1 And it happened in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, the king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Syria, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, ascended to Jerusalem to battle against it. But they were not able to defeat it.
Ke Tokosra Ahaz, wen natul Jotham ac nutin natul Uzziah, el leumi Judah, oasr sie mweun. Tokosra Rezin lun Syria, ac Tokosra Pekah, wen natul Remaliah lun Israel, elos tukeni som mweuni acn Jerusalem, tusruktu elos koflana sruokya.
2 And they reported to the house of David, saying: “Syria has withdrawn to Ephraim.” And his heart was shaken, with the heart of his people, just as the trees of the forest are moved by the face of the wind.
Ke pweng uh sonol tokosra lun Judah lah un mwet mweun lun acn Syria elos sun tari acn Israel, el ac mwet lal nukewa arulana fosrngala, oru elos rarrar oana sak kusrusryak ke eng uh.
3 And the Lord said to Isaiah: Go out to meet Ahaz, you and your son, Jashub, who was left behind, to the end of the aqueduct, at the upper pool, on the road to the fuller’s field.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Isaiah, “Eisal Shear Jashub, wen nutum, ac fahla sonol Tokosra Ahaz. Kom ac konalak ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk elos orekma we, ke saflaiyen laf in kof ma soror liki inlulu lucng ah me.
4 And you shall say to him: “See to it that you are silent. Do not be afraid. And have no dread in your heart over the two tails of these firebrands, nearly extinguished, which are the wrath of the fury of Rezin, king of Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.”
Fahk nu sel elan akngusrikye, oakwuki na muta, ac tia sensen ku fohsak. Mulat lal Tokosra Rezin ac mwet Syria, oayapa Tokosra Pekah, oana wosr luo ma oanna fofosr — tiana mwe sensen.
5 For Syria has undertaken a plan against you, with the evil of Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
Mwet Syria, wi mwet Israel ac tokosra lalos, tukeni orala sie pwapa koluk.
6 “Let us ascend to Judah, and stir it up, and tear it away for ourselves, and appoint the son of Tabeel as a king in its midst.”
Elos akola in mweuni Judah, ac aksangengye mwet we in welulosla lac, na elos ac akleumyauk wen se natul Tabeel elan tokosrala.
7 Thus says the Lord God: This shall not stand, and this shall not be.
“Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fahkak lah ma se inge ac fah tiana sikyak.
8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years from now, Ephraim will cease to be a people.
Efu? Mweyen Syria el tia ku liki Damascus, siti lulap lal, ac Damascus el tia ku lukel Tokosra Rezin. Ac funu Israel, inmasrlon na yac onngoul limekosr ac fah arulana musalla acn we, tia sifil oaoa mu mutunfacl se pa el.
9 For the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you will not continue.
Israel el tia ku liki Samaria, siti lulap lal, ac Samaria el tia pac ku lukel Tokosra Pekah. “Lulalfongi lowos fin tia oakwuki ku, kowos ac tia pac ku in okak.”
10 And the Lord spoke further to Ahaz, saying:
LEUM GOD El supwala soko pac sap nu sel Ahaz,
11 Ask for a sign for yourself from the Lord your God, from the depths below, even to the heights above. (Sheol )
ac fahk, “Siyuk sin LEUM GOD lom Elan sot sie akul nu sum — ac ku in tuku liki acn loal faclu in facl sin mwet misa, ku liki acn fulat lucng inkusrao.” (Sheol )
12 And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, for I will not tempt the Lord.”
Na Ahaz el topuk, “Nga fah tiana siyuk ke sie mwe akul. Nga fah tiana srike LEUM GOD luk.”
13 And he said: “Then listen, O house of David. Is it such a small thing for you to trouble men, that you must also trouble my God?
Na Isaiah el fahk, “Inge porongeyu, kowos fwilin tulik natul David. Ma na koluk se ke kowos oru mwet uh in semutengla. Ya kowos ac oru God Elan semutengla pac?
14 For this reason, the Lord himself will grant to you a sign. Behold, a virgin will conceive, and she will give birth to a son, and his name will be called Immanuel.
Leum sifacna El ac fah sot sie akul nu suwos. Sie mutan fusr su pitutu el ac fah oswela sie wen, ac sang inel ‘Immanuel.’
15 He will eat butter and honey, so that he may know to reject evil and to choose good.
Ke pacl se tulik sac matula, ac ku in sifacna sulela inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk, el ac fah nim milk ac mongo honey.
16 But even before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the land that you detest will be abandoned by the face of her two kings.
Tusruktu meet liki pacl sacn, facl sin tokosra luo ma aksangengye kowos ingan ac fah wanginla mwet we.
17 The Lord will lead over you, and over your people, and over the house of your father, such days as have not occurred since the days of the separation of Ephraim from Judah by the king of the Assyrians.
“LEUM GOD El ac fah use nu fom, ac nu fin mwet lom ac nu fin sou in leum, len in ongoiya ma koluk liki na ma sikyak tukun pacl se tokosrai lun Israel sriyukla liki Judah — El ac fah use tokosra lun Assyria in lain kom.
18 And this shall be in that day: the Lord will call for the fly, which is in the most distant parts of the rivers of Egypt, and for the swarm, which is in the land of Assur.
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, LEUM GOD El ac osla nu sin mwet Egypt in tuku oana loang uh liki sungan infacl puspis yen loessula ke Infacl Nile, ac nu sin mwet Assyria in tuku liki facl selos oana loanginyeir uh.
19 And they will arrive, and they all will rest in the torrents of the valleys, and in the caverns of the rocks, and in every thicket, and in every opening.
Elos ac osralik acn nukewa infahlfal uh ac ke luf inmasrlon eot uh, ac elos ac afunla sak nukewa oasr otoh kac oayapa sroan mah nukewa.
20 In that day, the Lord will shave with a razor the ones hired by those who are across the river, by the king of the Assyrians, from the head to the hairs of the feet, with the entire beard.
“Ke pacl sac, Leum El ac molema sie mwet kalkul lefahlo ke Infacl Euphrates — aok, tokosra fulat lun Assyria — su ac fah resaela alut lowos, aunsifowos ac monuwos nufon.
21 And this shall be in that day: a man will raise a cow among oxen, and two sheep,
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, finne cow fusr sokofanna ac nani lukwa nutin mwet ima se,
22 and, instead of an abundance of milk, he will eat butter. For all who are left behind in the midst of the land will eat butter and honey.
ac yolyak milk kaclos in akfalye enenu lal nukewa. Aok, mwet pu su painmoulla in facl sac fah oasr milk ac honey nalos.
23 And this shall be in that day: every place, where there were a thousand grapevines worth a thousand pieces of silver, will become thorns and briers.
“Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ima in grape wowo uh — kais sie ima inge oasr sie tausin oa in grape kac su molo oasr ke sie tausin ipin silver-ac fah kupoi ke kokul.
24 They will enter such places with arrows and bows. For briers and thorns will be throughout the entire land.
Mwet uh ac us mwe pisr natulos ac som sruh kosro we. Aok, facl sac nufon ac fah nwanala ke mah kokul.
25 But as for all the mountains, which will be dug with a hoe, the terror of thorns and briers will not approach those places. And there will be pasture land for oxen, and a range for cattle.”
Inging nukewa ma tuh imaiyuk meet, ac kupoi ke kokul, pwanang wangin mwet ac sifil som nu we. Ac fah acn in na mongo lun cow ac sheep.”
