Isaiah 21
1 THE burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
Pa inge sie kas in fahkak ke acn Babylonia. Mwe ongoiya lulap ac fah tuku liki sie facl aksangeng, oana sie eng fohru ma pokla acn mwesis.
2 A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Nga liye sie aruruma ke orekma sulallal ma ac sikyak, sie aruruma ke kutasrik ac kunausten. Un mwet mweun lun Elam, kowos sroang mweun! Un mwet mweun lun Media, kowos in kuhlusya siti uh! Mwe keok ma Babylon orala God El fah tulokinya in tui.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
Aruruma sac nwekyula ke sangeng ac ngal — oana sie mutan su keok in pacl in isus lal. Nga foroti ke ma nga lohng, ac nga tuninfongla ke ma nga liye.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
Nunak luk uh fohsak, ac nga rarrar ke sangeng. Nga salka in tari ekela, tusruktu ke ekela tuku nga sangeng mukena.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
In aruruma sac, oasr sie kufwa akoeyuk; mwe loeyuk lohm elakelik nu sin mwet uh in muta fac. Na ke elos mongo ac nim, pusra na yohk se wola ac fahk: “Kowos, captain lun un mwet mweun, akoela mwe loeyuk lowos an!”
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
Na Leum El fahk nu sik, “Fahla likiya sie mwet san, ac fahkang nu sel elan fahk kutena ma el liye.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
El fin liye mwet kasrusr fin horse tuku kais luo, ac mwet muta fin donkey ac camel, elan lohang nu selos akwoya.”
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
Na mwet san sac wowoyak ac fahk, “Leum se, nga nuna tu san in se inge ke len ac fong.”
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Kitin pacl ah na elos kasrusr tuku fin horse, kais luo. Mwet san sac sulkakin, “Acn Babylon musalla! Ma sruloala nukewa ma elos alu nu kac fokfoki oan infohk uh.”
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
Kowos mwet luk mwet Israel, sringsring kowos oana wheat uh, tusruktu inge nga fahkak tari nu suwos pweng wo ma nga lohng sin LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Sie kas in fahkak ke acn Edom pa inge. Mwet se pangma nu sik Edom me, “Mwet san, fukunyen fong uh inge? Fahkma lah ac lenelik ngac.”
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.
Na nga topuk, “Akuranna lenelik, tusruktu fong ac sifil tuku. Kom fin lungse sifil siyuk, kom tufah foloko siyuk.”
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
Sie kas in fahkak ke acn Arabia pa inge. Mwet Dedan, kowos su mutangan aktuktuk yen mwesis in Arabia,
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
sang kof nimen mwet malu su tuku nu yuruwos. Kowos mwet in facl Tema, sang mwe mongo nu sin mwet kaingla liki acn selos.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Mwet uh kaingkin cutlass ma akoeyukla tari in onelosi, liki mwe pisr ma akola in pisrikyuk, ac liki mwe sensen mukewa lun mweun.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Na Leum El fahk nu sik, “Wolana lun sruf Kedar ac fah safla tukun yac na fal se, in oana ke sie mwet el eis molin orekma lal ke el akfalye yac nufon se.
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.
Inmasrlon mwet Kedar, mwet pisr lalos pa pulaik oemeet, tusruktu mwet na pu selos ac painmoulla. Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, pa fahk ma inge.”
