< Isaiah 14 >
1 But the Lord will be merciful to the descendants of Jacob. Once again he will choose Israel and he will bring them back to live once more in their own land. Foreigners will come and join them there, and they will unite with the descendants of Jacob.
LEUM GOD El ac sifilpa pakoten nu sin mwet Israel, ac sifil sulelosla in mwet lal sifacna. El ac fah lela elos in sifilpa muta in facl selos, ac mwet in mutunfacl saya ac fah tuku ac muta yorolos we.
2 Nations will go with them and escort them to their own land. The foreigners who stay in the Lord's land will serve the Israelites. In this way the captors become their captives, and they rule over their former oppressors.
Mutunfacl puspis fah kasru mwet Israel in folok nu in facl se LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu selos, ac mutunfacl inge ac fah mwet kohs in kulansupu mwet Israel. Elos su tuh kutangla Israel meet, ac fah kutangyukla sin Israel, ac mwet Israel ac fah leum faclos su akkeokyalos meet.
3 At that time the Lord will give you relief from your pain and trouble, and from the hard labor you were forced to do.
LEUM GOD El ac fah sang nu sin mwet Israel mongla liki ngal ac keok lalos, ac liki orekma upa ma akkohsyeyuk elos in oru.
4 You will mock the king of Babylon, saying, “How your oppressive rule has been ended, and your insolence stopped!
Ke El ac oru ma inge El mu elos in aksruksrukye tokosra Babylon ac fahk: “Tokosra sulallal sac el ikori! El ac tia sifilpa akkeokye kutena mwet!
5 The Lord has broken the rod of the wicked, the rulers' scepter.
LEUM GOD El sisla ku lun mwet kol koluk,
6 You kept on furiously hitting foreign peoples without stopping, and aggressively ruled nations with unrestrained persecution.
su nuna kasrkusrak ac akkohsye mwet uh, ac tiana tui in kalyei mutunfacl ma elos kutangla.
7 Now the whole earth rests peacefully, and everyone starts celebrating!
Inge faclu nufon muta in mongla ac misla, ac mwet nukewa wowoyak on ke engan.
8 The cypress and cedar trees are glad you're gone. They sing, ‘Since you were cut down no woodcutters are coming to cut us down!’
Sak fir ac sak cedar in acn Lebanon wi enganak ke sripen tokosra sac wanginla, ouinge wanginla mwet ac sifil pakelosi!
9 Those in the grave beneath are keen to meet you when you arrive. It wakes the spirits of the dead to welcome you, those of all the rulers of the earth. All the kings of the nations stand up from their thrones. (Sheol )
“Facl lun mwet misa akola in paing tokosra Babylon. Inut lalos su tuh oasr ku yoro fin faclu elos mukuikuiyak. Ngunin tokosra ma misa elos tukakek liki tron lalos. (Sheol )
10 They will all speak up and tell you, ‘So you too are as weak as we are—you've become just like us!
Elos nukewa pang nu sel ac fahk, ‘Inge kom munas oana kut! Kom sie sesr!
11 Your pride is now buried with you in the grave, along with the harp music you loved. Maggots are the bed you lie on, and worms are your blanket.’ (Sheol )
Kom tuh akfulatyeyuk ke pusren on ke harp, tusruktu inge kom oasr in facl sin mwet misa. Ulac uh pa mwe oan kiom, ac kaot lom pa wet.’” (Sheol )
12 Morning star, son of the dawn, how you have fallen from heaven! Destroyer of nations, you have been cut down to the ground!
O kom su itu in lotutang, kom putatla liki inkusrao! In pacl meet ah kom kutangla mutunfacl puspis, a inge sisila kom nu infohk uh.
13 You said to yourself: ‘I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned on the mountain of meeting, the summit of the northern mountain.
Kom tuh nunku kom in fanyak nu inkusrao ac likiya tron lom lucng liki itu ma fulat oemeet. Kom tuh nunku mu kom ac muta oana tokosra se fineol soko in acn epang, yen god uh toeni we.
14 I will ascend to the high places above the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
Kom tuh fahk mu kom ac fanyak nu lucng fin pukunyeng uh, in oana El su Kulana.
15 But you are dragged down to the grave, into the depths of the pit. (Sheol )
Tusruktu tia ouinge, a ituki kom nu yen loallana in facl sin mwet misa. (Sheol )
16 Those who see you will stare at you, examining you closely, asking, ‘Is this the man who shook the earth, who made kingdoms tremble?
Mwet misa fah mangelik ac suikomi. Elos ac siyuk, “Ya pa inge mwet se ma osrokak faclu ac oru tokosrai uh rarrar?
17 Is this the one who turned the world into a desert, destroyed cities, and never let his prisoners return home?’
Ya pa inge mwet se su kunausla siti puspis ac ekulla faclu nu ke sie acn mwesis? Ya pa inge mwet se su tiana aksukosokye mwet kohs lal, ku fuhlelosla in folok nu yen selos?”
18 All the other kings of the nations lie in splendor in their great mausoleums.
Tokosra nukewa lun faclu elos oan in kulyuk kato lalos,
19 But you are thrown out of your grave like a branch nobody wants, buried underneath the bodies of those killed by the sword. You are like a corpse trodden underfoot. You are tossed into a pit full of rocks—
a wangin kulyuk lom, ac mano misa lom sisila in oan kulawi. Afyufi ke monin mwet anwuki ke mweun, ac welulos na sisila nu in sie laf loal inmasrlon eot uh ma mwet uh lolongya.
20 you will not be buried like those other kings because you destroyed your own land and killed your own people. The descendants of those who do evil will never survive.
Mweyen kom kunausla facl sum ac onela mwet lom sifacna, kom ac fah tia pukpuki oana tokosra ngia. Wangin sin sou koluk lom ac fah esamyuk.
21 Get ready to execute his sons because of their fathers' sins. Don't let them take over the earth; don't let them fill the whole world with their cities.
Lela akmas uh in mutawauk! Wen nukewa nutin tokosra se inge fah misa ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos. Wangin selos ac leumi faclu ku musaela siti puspis fac.
22 I will come and attack them, declares the Lord Almighty. I will destroy everything: their reputation, those who remain, their children, and their descendants, says the Lord.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac fah mweuni acn Babylon ac arulana kunausla acn we. Nga ac fah tia likiya kutena ma in oan we — wangin siefanna mwet ac painmoulla, finne tulik ku mwet matu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
23 I will make Babylon into a place for water birds and into marshland. I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction, declares the Lord Almighty.”
Nga fah ekulla acn Babylon nu ke sie acn furarrar, ac won owl ac fah muta we. Nga fah imonla acn we ke sie burum su ac burumela ma nukewa. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn an oath: It will be as I have planned. It will happen as I have decided.
LEUM GOD Kulana El oru sie wulela ku ac fahk: “Ma nga lumahla tari fah sikyak. Ma nga nunkala in oru, ac fah orekla.
25 I will smash the Assyrians when they are in my country Israel; I will trample them underfoot on my mountains. I will remove their yoke from my people, and take away the burdens they place on my people's shoulders.
Nga ac kunausla mwet Assyria in facl sik Israel, ac longolosi fineol sik. Nga ac tulala mwet luk liki mwe utuk toasr lun mwet Assyria, ac liki ma upa elos enenu in polong.
26 This is the plan I have made regarding the whole earth; my hand stretches out to control all the nations.
Pa inge lemlem luk nu ke faclu, ac nga asroela pouk in kalyei mutunfacl puspis.”
27 The Lord Almighty has made his plan, and who will block it? His hand stretches out, and who will push back against it?
LEUM GOD Kulana El wotela tari in oru ouinge. El asroela paol in kalyei, ac wangin sie ku in ikolilya.
28 The following message came in the year King Ahaz died.
Pa inge kas in fahkak ma fwackelik ke yac se Tokosra Ahaz el misa.
29 All you Philistines, don't celebrate the fact that the rod that was hitting you is broken, because from the root of that snake will grow up a viper, its fruit will be a flying serpent.
Mwet Philistia, sak in sringsring soko ma sang uni kowos kaptelik, tusruktu wangin sripa kowos in engan. Ke soko wet ac misa, soko pacna wet ac tuku koluk lukel. Sie atro lun soko wet ac sawulla soko dragon sohksok.
30 The poor will have food, and the needy will live in safety, but you Philistines will die in a famine, and I will kill those who survive.
LEUM GOD El ac fah kite mwet sukasrup inmasrlon mwet lal, ac El ac oru elos in muta in misla. Tusruktu El ac supwama sie sracl na upa nu fowos mwet Philistia, ac El ac fah tia lela kutena suwos in moulla kac.
31 Howl, gates! Weep, town! Melt away in feat, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke is approaching from the north—an army with no soldier hanging back.
Siti nukewa in acn Philistia, kowos in wowoyak tung ac suk kasru. Kowos nukewa in sangeng ac rarrar! Sie pukun kutkut pa tuku epang me — sie un mwet mweun su wangin mwet sangengtot inmasrlolos.
32 What will be the answer given to the messengers from that nation? “The Lord was the one who laid the foundations of Zion, and that's where his suffering people will be kept safe.”
Kut ac topuk fuka mwet utuk kas ma tuku Philistia me nu yorosr? Kut ac fahkang nu selos lah LEUM GOD El musaeak Zion, ac mwet lal su akkeokyeyuk fah konauk moul misla we.
