Isaiah 8
1 Moreover Yhwh said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Maher–shalal–hash–baz.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Eis sie ipin mwe sim lulap ac simusla fac ke mutun sim lulap: ‘Sulaklak Eisla, Aksaya Wapi.’
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
Eis mwet lulalfongiyuk luo inge tuh elos in mwet loh: mwet tol Uriah, ac Zechariah wen natul Jeberechiah.”
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said Yhwh to me, Call his name Maher–shalal–hash–baz.
Kutu pacl tok, mutan kiuk el pitutu ac oswela wen se. Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Sang inel ‘Sulaklak-Eisla-Aksaya-Wapi.’
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
Meet liki tulik mukul sac ku in fahk ‘Papa’ ac ‘Nina,’ mwe kasrup nukewa lun Damascus ac ma wap nukewa lun Samaria ac fah utukla sin tokosra lun Assyria.”
5 Yhwh spake also unto me again, saying,
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik.
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
El fahk, “Ke sripen mwet inge srangesr eis kof mihs ma tuku ke Infacl srisrik Shiloah, a elos engan in eisalosyang nu inpaol Tokosra Rezin ac Tokosra Pekah,
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah use Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa in mweun lain Judah. Elos ac fahsryak oana tuku lun sronot uh, oana kof lulap ke Infacl Euphrates, ac afunla pefacl uh.
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
Elos ac asrma sasla Judah oana sie sronot ma lapak nu ke fulatan finpisen mwet uh, ac afunla ma nukewa.” God El wi kut! El karingin acn uh ye posohksok lal.
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
Kowos mutunfacl uh, tukeni nu sie ke sangeng! Porongo, kowos su muta yen loessula faclu. Akola in mweun, tusruktu kowos in sangeng! Aok akola, tusruktu kowos in sangeng!
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Orala oakwuk lowos an, tusruktu ac fah tia ku in orekla. Fahk ma nukewa kowos lungse fahk, tusruktu ac wangin sripa, mweyen God El wi kut.
11 for Yhwh spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
Ke ku lulap lal, LEUM GOD El sensenkakinyu nga in tia fahsr ke inkanek ma mwet uh fahsr kac. El fahk,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
“Nik kom wela pwapa sulal lun mwet, ac nik kom sangeng ke ma elos sangeng kac uh.
13 Sanctify Yhwh of Armies himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Esam lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, nga mutal. Nga pa kom ac sangeng se uh.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ke sripen mangoliyen mutal luk, nga oana sie eot ma mwet uh tukulkul kac. Nga oana sie sruhf ma ac srifusrya mwet in tokosrai lun Judah ac Israel, oayapa mwet Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Mwet puspis fah tukulkul. Elos ac ikori ac itungyuki. Elos ac fah sruh ac utukla.”
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Kowos, mwet tumuk lutlut, enenu in karinganang ac sruokya ku kas nukewa ma God El ase nu sik.
17 And I will wait upon Yhwh, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
LEUM GOD El okanulla sifacna liki mwet lal uh, tuh nga lulalfongel ac filiya finsrak luk in El.
18 Behold, I and the children whom Yhwh hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from Yhwh of Armies, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Nga pa inge, wi tulik ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. LEUM GOD Kulana, su tron lal oan fin Eol Zion, El supwekut nu sin mwet Israel in oana mwe akul moul nu selos.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
Tusruktu mwet uh ac fah siyuk kom in lolngok yurin mwet susfa ac mwet inutnut, su ac mahma srisrik ac mungulngul. Elos fah fahk, “Ya tia fal mwet uh in sukok kas sin ngun, ac lolngok yurin mwet misa in kasru mwet moul?”
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Kowos in topkolos ac fahk, “Lipsre ma LEUM GOD El luti nu suwos! Nimet porongo mwet inutnut — ma elos fahk nu suwos uh ac tia ku in kasrekowos.”
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
Mwet uh ac fufahsryesr fin facl sac, ac elos ac munasla ac masrinsralla. Ke sripen masrinsral lalos elos ac kasrkusrak ac selngawi tokosra lalos ac God lalos. Elos ac ngetak nu inkusrao,
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
ku suiya infohk uh, a wangin ma elos ac liye sayen mwe ongoiya ac lohsr matoltol — aok ac fah sisiyang elos nu in lohsr, ac wangin inkanek lalos in kaingla liki pacl in ongoiya se inge.
