Isaiah 47
1 Down—and sit in the dust, O virgin Daughter of Babylon, Sit on the ground—throneless, Daughter of the Chaldeans; For thou shalt no more be called Tender and Dainty.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Babylon, fani liki tron lom, Ac muta fin kutkut infohk uh. Meet kom oana sie virgin, sie siti ma soenna kutangyukla, A inge monum tia sifil fisrasrsrasr ac fwel! Inge kom sie mutan kohs.
2 Take millstones, and grind meal, —Put back thy veil—tuck up thy train Bare the leg, wade through streams:
Furokak eot in ilil flao! Eisla nuknuk afinyen motom! Sarukla nuknuk kato lom. Olak sikut lom an ac tupalla infacl uh!
3 Bared shall be thy shame, Yea seen thy reproach, —An avenging, will I take, And will accept no son of earth.
Mwet uh ac liye lah kom koflufol; Elos fah liye ke kom akpusiselyeyuk ac mwekinla. Nga ac oru foloksak luk, ac wangin mwet ac tulokinyuwi.”
4 Our Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts, is his name! The Holy One of Israel.
God mutal lun Israel El aksukosokyekutla — Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
5 Sit silent, and get into darkness, Daughter of the Chaldeans! For thou shalt no more be called Mistress of Kingdoms.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Babylon, “Muta in lohsr uh ac mislana. Mwet uh ac tia sifil pangon kom kasra lun mutunfacl uh!
6 I had been provoked with my people, Had profaned mine inheritance, And given them into thy hand, …Thou shewedst them no compassion, Upon the elder, madest thou very heavy thy yoke.
Nga tuh kasrkusrak sin mwet luk. Nga tia sifil oralos oana mwet luk. Nga fuhlelosi nu inpoum, Ac kom tiana pakomutalos. Finne mwet matu, kom arulana akkeokyalos.
7 And thou saidst, Unto times age-abiding, shall I be Mistress, —Insomuch that thou laidst not these things to thy heart, Didst not keep in mind the issue thereof,
Kom nunku mu kom ac kasra nwe tok, Oru wangin nunkeyen ma inge sum Lah ac mau fuka saflaiya.
8 Now, therefore hear this, Thou Lady of pleasure Who dwelleth securely, Who saith in her heart, —I, [am], and there is no one besides, I shall not sit a widow, Nor know loss of children.
“Porongo ma se inge, kom su lungse mwe pwar Ac nunku mu moul lom an oakwuk ac wanginna sensen kac. Kom fahk mu kom fulat oana God, Ac wangin sie oana kom. Kom nunku mu kom ac tiana katinmasla, Ku pulakin keok ke sripen tulik nutum uh wanginla.
9 Yet shall there come to thee—both these, in a moment, in one day, Loss of children and widowhood, —To their full, have they come on thee, Spite of the mass of thine incantations, Spite of the great throng of thy spells.
Tusruktu in kitin pacl na, ke len sefanna, Ma inge kewa fah sikyak nu sum. Kom finne susfa ac orek inutnut, Mukul tomom ac tulik nutum uh ac fah wanginla.
10 And so thou didst trust in thy wickedness, Thou saidst, no one, seeth me, Thy wisdom and knowledge, the same, seduced thee, —Therefore saidst thou in thy heart, I [am], and there is no one besides.
“Arulana wangin fosrnga lom ke ma koluk lom; Kom nunku mu wangin sie ac ku in liye kom. Lalmwetmet ac etauk lom kiapwekomla, Ac kom sifacna nunku mu kom God — Wangin sie saya oana kom.
11 Therefore shall come on thee—Mischief, Thou shalt not know how to charm it away Yea there shall fall on thee, Ruin, Thou shalt not be able to appease it, —And there shall come on thee suddenly. Desolation. Thou shalt not know.
Mwe ongoiya ac fah tuku nu fom, Ac inutnut lom an tia ku in sikulya. Musalla ac fah sa na in sun kom, Sie musalla yohk ma kom tiana nunku mu ac sikyak!
12 Take thy stand, I pray thee, With thy spells. And with the throng of thine incantations wherein thou hast wearied thyself from thy youth, —Peradventure thou mayest be able to profit Peradventure thou mayest strike me with terror.
Sruokyana mwe inutnut ac mwe susfa lom; Kom nuna orekmakin ma ingan oe ke kom fusr ah me. Sahp ac ku in kasrekom, Ku sahp kom ku in sang aksangengye mwet lokoalok lom.
13 Thou hast worn thyself out with the mass of thy consultations, —Let them take their stand I pray thee that they may save thee—The dividers of the heavens—The gazers at the stars, They who make known by new moons, Somewhat of the things which shall come upon thee.
Wangin ku lom, kom finne eis kas in kasru Sin mwet su suiya itu uh, Ac kitalik pulan pacl uh fal nu ke ma elos liye inkusrao, Ac fahkak nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sum Ke malem nu ke malem. Sap mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh ingan in tuku ac molikomla.
14 Lo! they have become as straw—a fire, hath burned them up, They shall not deliver their own soul from the grasp of the flame, —There is, no live coal to warm them, nor blaze to sit before.
“Elos ac fah oana mah pao, Ma sie e ac fah furreak! Elos ac tia pac ku in sifacna molelosla. Firir sac ac fah arulana fol nu selos, Tia e in langlung se.
15 Such, have they become to thee, with whom thou hast wearied thyself, —Thy merchants—from thy youth, will every man stagger straight onwards—There is none to save thee.
Pa na ingan luman kasru kom ac eis sin Mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh, su kom muta lolngok yoro in moul lom nufon. Elos nukewa ac som liki kom ac fahsr innek lalos sifacna, Ac wangin sie selos fah lula in molikomla.”
