Isaiah 17
1 The oracle on Damascus, —Lo! Damascus, is to be removed from being a city, And shall become a heap of ruins:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siti Damascus ac fah kunausyukla, ac ekla yol in na ma musalla.
2 Forsaken, are the desolate cities, —For flocks, shall they serve, Which shall lie down and have none to 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 Then shall the fortress cease from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus and the remnant of Syria, —Like the glory of the sons of Israel, shall they be, —Declareth Yahweh 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 in that day, That the glory of Jacob, shall be diminished, And, the fatness of his flesh, shall be wasted;
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 come to pass—That, as the harvestman gathereth standing corn, And with his arm—the ears, he reapeth, Yea it shall come to pass—That, so, shall he be who gleaneth ears, in the vale 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 shall there be left therein, a gleaning. As in the beating of an olive-tree, —Two-three berries in the head of the tree-top, —Four—five, among her fruitful boughs, Declareth Yahweh 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 In that day, shall the son of earth look to him that made him, —And his eyes unto the Holy One of Israel, be turned;
Ke len sac, mwet uh ac fah forla in suk kasru sin El Su oralosla, God mutal lun Israel.
8 And he shall not look unto the altars the work of his own hands, —Nor to what his own fingers have made, shall his eye be turned, Whether Sacred Stems or Sun-pillars.
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 In that day, shall his fortified cities become Like a neglected bough and a topmost branch, Which they neglected because of the sons of Israel, —So shall there be desolation.
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 didst forget the God of thy salvation, And thy Rock of refuge, thou didst not remember, For this cause, shalt thou plant very pleasant plants, And, the slip of a stranger, shalt thou set:
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 In the day when thou plantest, fence thou in, And in the morning, cause thou, thy slip, to blossom, —A harvest will have waved in the day of destiny, and mortal 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 Alas! the booming of many peoples, Like the booming of the seas, shall they boom, —And the rushing of nations! Like the rushing of mighty waters, shall they rush.
Mutunfacl kulana puspis ngisyak ke sie pusra oana ngirngir lun meoa, oana toki lun noa lulap weacn uh.
13 Though nations like the rushing of many waters, shall rush, Yet shall one rebuke him, And he shall flee far away, —And be chased As the chaff of the mountains before a wind, And as whirling stubble before 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 At eventide, lo! terror, Before morning, he is not! This, is the portion of them who plunder us, And the lot of them who make of us a prey.
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.
