< Isaiah 17 >
1 The doom of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is deprived of being a city, and it shall become decaying ruins.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siti Damascus ac fah kunausyukla, ac ekla yol in na ma musalla.
2 Forsaken are the cities of 'Aro'er: they shall be [given up] to flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
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 And there shall cease the fortress from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, saith the Lord of hosts.
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 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall vanish, and the fatness of his flesh shall become lean.
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 And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standing-corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as when one gleaneth ears 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 And there shall be left on it gleaning-fruit, as one shaketh an olive-tree, two or three berries on the top of the uppermost bough, four or five on the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith 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 On that day shall a man turn his regard up to his Maker, and his eyes shall look toward 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 And he shall not turn his regard to the altars, the work of his hands; and he shall not look at what his fingers have made, both the groves and the sun-images.
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 On that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken ruin in a forest, and on a mountain-peak, which they left because of the children of Israel: and the land shall be 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 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and the rock of thy strength thou hast not remembered; therefore wouldst thou plant luxuriant plantings, and wouldst set out the shoots of the stranger therein.
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 [Already] on the day that thou plantedst thou causedst to grow, and in the morning thou madest thy seed to blossom; but now fleeth the harvest on the day of disease and of incurable pain.
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 Woe to the raging of many people, who rage like the raging of the seas; and to the noise of nations, that make a noise like the roar of mighty waters!
Mutunfacl kulana puspis ngisyak ke sie pusra oana ngirngir lun meoa, oana toki lun noa lulap weacn uh.
13 The nations will make a noise like the roaring of many waters; but He will rebuke it, and it shall flee afar off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as thistle-down before the tempest.
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 At eveningtide, behold, there is trouble; before yet it is morning it is no more. This is the portion of our spoilers, and the lot of those that 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.
