Isaiah 3
1 For, behold, the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, doth remove from Jerusalem and from Judah stay and staff, every stay of bread, and every stay of water.
Inge LEUM GOD Kulana El akola in eisla liki acn Jerusalem ac Judah ma nukewa mwet uh moulkin, oayapa mwet kol lalos. El ac eisla mwe mongo nalos ac kof nimalos,
2 The hero, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
mwet pulaik ac mwet mweun lalos, mwet nununku ac mwet palu lalos, mwet liyaten ac mwet matu lalos,
3 The captain of fifty, and the honorable man, and the counsellor, and the skilful artificer, and the eloquent orator.
mwet kol un mwet mweun ac mwet kol lun government, mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet susfa.
4 And I will set up boys as their princes, and children shall rule over them.
LEUM GOD El ac lela tuh mukul fusr na supah in kololos.
5 And so shall the people press man against man, and one against the other: the boy shall demean himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.
Mwet nukewa ac srike in kiapu sie sin sie. Mwet fusr ac fah tia akfulatye mwet matu lalos, ac mwet lusrongten ac fah tia sunakin mwet leum lalos.
6 When a man will seize hold on his brother in the house of his father, [saying, ] Thou hast a garment, thou shalt be our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet in sie sruf fah sulela sie sin mwet lalos ac fahk nu sel, “Kom pa oasr nuknuk la, na pa kom in mwet kol lasr ke pacl upa se inge.”
7 He will swear on that day, saying, I will not be a chief; and in my house is neither bread nor clothing; you shall not appoint me a ruler of the people.
Ac el ac fah topuk, “Mo, nga tia ku in kasrekowos. Wangin mwe mongo ac wangin pac nuknuk luk. Nimet oru nga in mwet kol lowos!”
8 For Jerusalem is sunk to decay, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the Lord, to incense the eyes of his glory.
Aok, Jerusalem ac fah musalla! Judah el ikori! Mwet we elos lain LEUM GOD in ma nukewa elos fahk ac oru. Elos lemtulauk in akkolukye God.
9 The boldness of their face testifieth against them; and like Sodom they tell openly their sin, they conceal it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have prepared evil unto themselves.
Ac fah nununkeyuk elos ke sripen srisri lalos. Elos orekma koluk lemtulauk oana mwet Sodom elos tuh oru. We nu selos! Elos sifacna use ma koluk nu faclos.
10 Say ye to the righteous, that he hath done well; for the fruit of their doings shall they eat.
Mwet suwoswos fah engan, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu selos. Elos ac engankin fokin orekma lalos.
11 Woe unto the wicked who doeth evil; for the recompense of his hands shall be bestowed on him.
Tusruktu, we nu sin mwet koluk — ma koluk elos tuh oru nu sin mwet ngia, ac fah folokyang nu selos.
12 My people! their oppressors are children, and women rule over them. O my people! thy leaders cause thee to err, and the direction of thy paths they corrupt.
Tulik srisrik elos akkeokye mwet luk, ac mutan uh leum fin mwet luk. Mwet kol lowos kol kowos ke inkanek tafongla, pwanang kowos tia etu acn kowos ac fahsr nu we.
13 The Lord is stepped forth to plead, and standeth up to judge the people.
LEUM GOD El akola in oru tukak lal; El akola in nununku mwet lal.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and their princes; but ye—ye have eaten up the vineyard; the plunder of the poor is in your houses.
LEUM GOD El use mwet matu ac mwet kol lun mwet lal nu ke nununku. Pa inge kas in tukak lal: “Kowos pisrala ima in grape uh, ac lohm suwos sessesla ke ma kowos eisla sin mwet sukasrup.
15 What mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind down the faces of the poor? saith the Lord the Eternal of hosts.
Wangin suwohs lowos in oru koluk mwet luk ac aklalfonye mwet sukasrup. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
16 And the Lord said, Forasmuch as the daughters of Zion are proud, and walk with stretched forth necks and casting about their eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Liye luman inse fulat lun mutan Jerusalem inge! Elos forfor na sengseng infwaclos. Pacl nukewa elos orek lumah. Mwe lohl ke kapsran nialos erarrar ke elos srala fahsr.
17 Therefore will the Lord smite with leprosy the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will lay open their nakedness.
Tusruktu nga ac kalyaelos — nga fah mangsrasraela sifalos.”
18 On that day will the Lord take away the beauty of their tinkling shoe-buckles, and the hair-nets, and the crescent-shaped ornaments,
Sie len ac tuku ke LEUM GOD El ac eisla liki mutan Jerusalem ma nukewa elos filangkin — mwe naweyuk ke kapin nialos, fin sifalos, inkwawalos,
19 The drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
ac ke paolos. El ac eisla nuknuk afinyen mutalos,
20 The bonnets, and the foot-chains, and the head-bands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
ac susu lalos, ac mwe lohl inutnut oan ke paolos ac ke infulwalos;
21 The finger-rings, and nose-jewels,
ring ke kufinpaolos ac ke infwaclos,
22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the shawls, and the pockets.
nuknuk loeloes kato lalos, nuknuk in kufwa, coat in mutan, ac kupwes;
23 The mirrors, and the chemisettes, and the turbans, and the long vails.
nuknuk ngunngun, handkerchief linen, mwe afyuf insuf, ac mwe susu loeloes fin sifalos.
24 And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be corruption; and instead of a girdle a rope; and instead of curled hair baldness; and instead of a wide garment a girding of sackcloth, a mark of burning instead of beauty.
Fohlo keng lalos ac fah foul koluk; wanginla pel kato lalos na elos ac orekmakin sucl; sifalos ac tila matol, a elos ac mangsrasrala; elos ac tila nukum nuknuk kato, a nukum nuknuk mihsasa; oasku lalos ac fah ekla nu ke mwe mwekin!
25 Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty ones in the war.
Mukul in siti uh, aok finne mukul ma arulana ku, ac fah anwuki ke mweun.
26 And then shall her gates lament and mourn; and stript of all shall she sit upon the ground.
Mutunpot lun siti ac fah tung ac mwemelil, ac siti sac sifacna ac fah oana sie mutan koflufoliyukla ac muta infohk uh.
