Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siti Damascus ac fah kunausyukla, ac ekla yol in na ma musalla.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks; and they shall lie down and there shall be none to make them afraid.
Ac fah wanginla mwet muta in siti nukewa lun acn Syria nwe tok. Ac fah ekla acn mahma nien mongo lun sheep ac cow, ac wangin mwet ac luselosyak.
3 The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Ac fah wanginla ma loangeyen Israel, ac siti Damascus ac fah tia sifil sifacna nununkal. Mwet Syria su painmoulla ac fah akmwekinyeyuk oana mwet Israel. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sie len ac tuku ke wolana lun Israel ac fah wanginla, ac pacl mut lal ac fah ekla nu ke pacl sracl.
5 And it shall be as when the reaper gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; yea, it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
Israel ac fah oana sie ima in wheat ma kosrkosrla tari, ac filfilla oana sie ima Infahlfal Rephaim ke kinkinla lisr fahko.
6 And a gleaning shall be left in it, as at the shaking of an olive-tree: two, three berries above, in the tree-top; four, five in its fruitful boughs, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Mwet na pu fah moulla, na acn Israel ac fah oana soko sak olive ma fahko nukewa sifeyukeni sayen ma luo na ku tolu ke lah oelucng, ku kais kutu na lula ke lah ten ah. Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, pa fahk ma inge.”
7 In that day shall man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have regard to the Holy One of Israel.
Ke len sac, mwet uh ac fah forla in suk kasru sin El Su oralosla, God mutal lun Israel.
8 And he will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, nor have regard to what his fingers have made, neither the Asherahs nor the sun-images.
Elos ac tia sifil alu ke loang ma elos orala ke paolos sifacna in kisakin mwe keng fac, ku lulalfongi sru ma elos tulokunak nu sin god mutan Asherah.
9 In that day shall his strong cities be as the forsaken tract in the woodland, and the mountain-top which they forsook before the children of Israel; and there shall be desolation.
Ke len sac, siti ma potyak ku ac fah sisila ac filfilla in kulawi, oana siti ma mwet Hiv ac mwet Amor tuh kaingkunla ke elos kaingkin mwet Israel.
10 For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plantations, and shalt set them with foreign slips:
Israel, kom mulkunla God su molikomla ac karingin kom oana sie eot kulana. Ac kom yukwiya sie ima oal nu sin sie god sac.
11 in the day of thy planting wilt thou make [them] to grow, and on the morrow wilt thou make thy seed to flourish; [but] the harvest will flee in the day of taking possession, and the sorrow will be incurable.
Tusruktu ma inge finne srunak ac farengla ke lotutang se na kom yukwiya ah, a ac fah wangin fahko in kosrani. Ac fah oasr lokoalok mukena, ac waiok su koflana tui.
12 Ha! a tumult of many peoples! they make a noise as the noise of the seas; — and the rushing of nations! they rush as the rushing of mighty waters.
Mutunfacl kulana puspis ngisyak ke sie pusra oana ngirngir lun meoa, oana toki lun noa lulap weacn uh.
13 The nations rush as the rushing of many waters; but he will rebuke them, and they shall flee far away, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a whirling [of dust] before the whirlwind:
Mutunfacl uh ac rirme oana noa toki, tusruktu God El ac kaelos na elos foloki, pahleyukla oana kutkut pe eol uh, ku oana ke eng fohru uh pokak mah pao uh.
14 behold, at eventide, trouble; before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
Ke eku uh elos aktuninfongye mwet uh, a ke lotutang elos wanginla. Pa ingan ma ac sikyak nu selos nukewa su utyak kunausla ac pisre ma in facl sesr uh.
