Isaiah 17
1 A message about Damascus. Look, Damascus will cease to exist as city. Instead it will become a pile of ruins.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siti Damascus ac fah kunausyukla, ac ekla yol in na ma musalla.
2 The towns of Aroer will be abandoned. Flocks will live in the streets and rest there, because there won't be anyone to chase them away.
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 fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, Damascus will no longer be a kingdom, and those that are left of the Arameans will be like the lost glory of Israel, declares the Lord Almighty.
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 At that time the glory of Jacob will fade away; he will lose his strength.
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 It will look as empty as fields after reapers have harvested the grain, gathering up the grain in their arms. It will be like when people pick the heads of grain 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 Yet there will be some left behind, like an olive tree that has been shaken—two or three ripe olives are left at the top of the tree, four or five on its lower branches, declares the Lord, 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 At that time people will pay attention to their Creator and look 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 They won't believe in the altars they built and the idols they made; they will not look to the Asherah poles or the altars of incense.
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 At that time their fortified cities will be like places left to be taken over by bushes and trees, just as they were previously abandoned when the Israelites invaded. The country will become completely desolate.
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 You have forgotten the God who saves you; you have not remembered the Rock who protects you. So, even though you plant beautiful plants and grow exotic vines,
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 even though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and have them blossom in the morning that you sow them, your harvest will heap of trouble on a day of grief and pain that cannot be cured.
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 Disaster is coming to the many nations that growl, growling like the raging sea! Disaster is coming to the peoples who roar, roaring like thundering waters!
Mutunfacl kulana puspis ngisyak ke sie pusra oana ngirngir lun meoa, oana toki lun noa lulap weacn uh.
13 The nations roar like the roaring of crashing waves. But he confronts them, and they run far away, blown by the wind like chaff on the mountains, like tumbleweeds driven by a storm.
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 Sudden terror comes in the evening! By morning, they're gone! This is what happens to those who loot us, the fate of those who plunder 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.
