Isaiah 3
1 For behold, the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water,
Inge LEUM GOD Kulana El akola in eisla liki acn Jerusalem ac Judah ma nukewa mwet uh moulkin, oayapa mwet kol lalos. El ac eisla mwe mongo nalos ac kof nimalos,
2 the mighty man and the man of war, the judge and the prophet, and the diviner and the elder,
mwet pulaik ac mwet mweun lalos, mwet nununku ac mwet palu lalos, mwet liyaten ac mwet matu lalos,
3 the captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the clever among artificers, and the one versed in enchantments.
mwet kol un mwet mweun ac mwet kol lun government, mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet susfa.
4 And I will appoint youths as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
LEUM GOD El ac lela tuh mukul fusr na supah in kololos.
5 And the people shall be oppressed one by the other, and each by his neighbour; the child will be insolent against the elder, and the base against the honourable.
Mwet nukewa ac srike in kiapu sie sin sie. Mwet fusr ac fah tia akfulatye mwet matu lalos, ac mwet lusrongten ac fah tia sunakin mwet leum lalos.
6 When a man shall take hold of his brother, in his father's house, [and shall say: ] Thou hast clothing; be our chief, and let this ruin be under thy hand;
Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet in sie sruf fah sulela sie sin mwet lalos ac fahk nu sel, “Kom pa oasr nuknuk la, na pa kom in mwet kol lasr ke pacl upa se inge.”
7 he will lift up [his hand] in that day, saying, I cannot be a healer, and in my house there is neither bread nor clothing; ye shall not make me a chief of the people.
Ac el ac fah topuk, “Mo, nga tia ku in kasrekowos. Wangin mwe mongo ac wangin pac nuknuk luk. Nimet oru nga in mwet kol lowos!”
8 For Jerusalem stumbleth and Judah falleth, because their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Aok, Jerusalem ac fah musalla! Judah el ikori! Mwet we elos lain LEUM GOD in ma nukewa elos fahk ac oru. Elos lemtulauk in akkolukye God.
9 The look of their face doth witness against them, and they declare their sin as Sodom: they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have brought evil upon themselves.
Ac fah nununkeyuk elos ke sripen srisri lalos. Elos orekma koluk lemtulauk oana mwet Sodom elos tuh oru. We nu selos! Elos sifacna use ma koluk nu faclos.
10 Say ye of the righteous that it shall be well [with him], for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Mwet suwoswos fah engan, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu selos. Elos ac engankin fokin orekma lalos.
11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill [with him], because the desert of his hands shall be rendered unto him.
Tusruktu, we nu sin mwet koluk — ma koluk elos tuh oru nu sin mwet ngia, ac fah folokyang nu selos.
12 [As for] my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people! they that guide thee mislead [thee], and destroy the way of thy paths.
Tulik srisrik elos akkeokye mwet luk, ac mutan uh leum fin mwet luk. Mwet kol lowos kol kowos ke inkanek tafongla, pwanang kowos tia etu acn kowos ac fahsr nu we.
13 Jehovah setteth himself to plead, and standeth to judge the peoples.
LEUM GOD El akola in oru tukak lal; El akola in nununku mwet lal.
14 Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people and their princes, [saying: ] It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard: the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
LEUM GOD El use mwet matu ac mwet kol lun mwet lal nu ke nununku. Pa inge kas in tukak lal: “Kowos pisrala ima in grape uh, ac lohm suwos sessesla ke ma kowos eisla sin mwet sukasrup.
15 What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the faces of the afflicted? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Wangin suwohs lowos in oru koluk mwet luk ac aklalfonye mwet sukasrup. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 And Jehovah said, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched-out neck and wanton eyes, and go along mincing, and making a tinkling with their feet;
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Liye luman inse fulat lun mutan Jerusalem inge! Elos forfor na sengseng infwaclos. Pacl nukewa elos orek lumah. Mwe lohl ke kapsran nialos erarrar ke elos srala fahsr.
17 therefore the Lord will make bald the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.
Tusruktu nga ac kalyaelos — nga fah mangsrasraela sifalos.”
18 In that day the Lord will take away the ornament of anklets, and the little suns and crescents,
Sie len ac tuku ke LEUM GOD El ac eisla liki mutan Jerusalem ma nukewa elos filangkin — mwe naweyuk ke kapin nialos, fin sifalos, inkwawalos,
19 the pearl-drops, and the bracelets, and the veils,
ac ke paolos. El ac eisla nuknuk afinyen mutalos,
20 the head-dresses, and the stepping chains, and the girdles, and the scent-boxes, and the amulets;
ac susu lalos, ac mwe lohl inutnut oan ke paolos ac ke infulwalos;
21 the finger-rings, and the nose-rings;
ring ke kufinpaolos ac ke infwaclos,
22 the festival-robes, and the tunics, and the mantles, and the wallets;
nuknuk loeloes kato lalos, nuknuk in kufwa, coat in mutan, ac kupwes;
23 the mirrors, and the fine linen bodices, and the turbans, and the flowing veils.
nuknuk ngunngun, handkerchief linen, mwe afyuf insuf, ac mwe susu loeloes fin sifalos.
24 And it shall come to pass, instead of perfume there shall be rottenness; and instead of a girdle, a rope; and instead of well-set hair, baldness; and instead of a robe of display, a girding of sackcloth; brand instead of beauty.
Fohlo keng lalos ac fah foul koluk; wanginla pel kato lalos na elos ac orekmakin sucl; sifalos ac tila matol, a elos ac mangsrasrala; elos ac tila nukum nuknuk kato, a nukum nuknuk mihsasa; oasku lalos ac fah ekla nu ke mwe mwekin!
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the fight;
Mukul in siti uh, aok finne mukul ma arulana ku, ac fah anwuki ke mweun.
26 and her gates shall lament and mourn; and, stripped, she shall sit upon the ground.
Mutunpot lun siti ac fah tung ac mwemelil, ac siti sac sifacna ac fah oana sie mutan koflufoliyukla ac muta infohk uh.
