Isaiah 9
1 For there is no gloom to her who had been in anguish, In the former time, he brought into dishonour The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, In the latter time, hath he brought into honour The Lake-way over the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Acn sin sruf lal Zebulun ac sruf lal Naphtali tuh pilesreyuk meet, tusruktu in pacl fahsru ac fah akfulatyeyuk, liki Meoa Mediterranean nu layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan, fahla na nwe Galilee, yen mwet in mutunfacl saya elos muta we.
2 the people who were walking in darkness, Have seen a great light, —The dwellers in a land death-shadowed, A light, hath shined upon them.
Mwet su fufahsryesr in lohsr, Elos liye sie kalem lulap. Elos tuh muta in sie facl na lohsr, A inge kalem srelosi.
3 Thou hast increased the exultation Thou hast made great the joy, —They joy before thee, according to the joy of harvest, As men exult when they distribute spoil.
Leum, kom akpusye mwet in mutunfacl sac; Kom akinsewowoyalos. Elos engankin ma kom orala, Oana ke mwet uh engan ke pacl in kosrani, Ku ke elos kitalik ma wap.
4 For, the yoke of their burden, The cross-bar of their shoulder, The goad of their driver, Hast thou broken, as in the day of Midian.
Tuh kom kotalik srenenu toasrlana faclos Ac sukan sringsring ma sringil finpisalos. Kom kutangla mutunfacl se Ma akkeokye ac aklalfonye mwet lom, Oana ke kom kutangla un mwet mweun lun Midian in pacl somla.
5 Surely, every boot of one tramping in tumult, and the war-cloak rolled in blood Then shall serve for burning, food for fire;
Fahluk nukewa lun un mwet mweun, Ac nuknuk lalos ma afla ke srah, Fah isisyak ke e.
6 For, A Child, hath been born to us, A Son, hath been given to us, And the dominion is upon his shoulder, —And his Name hath been called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GOD, Father of Futurity, Prince of Prosperity.
Tuh isusla sie tulik nu sesr! Ituku nu sesr sie wen! El fah leum facsr. Ac El fah pangpang, “Mwet Pwapa Wolana,” “God Kulana,” “Papa Ma Pahtpaht,” “Fihsrak lun Misla.”
7 Of the increase of dominion, and of prosperity, There shall be no end—Upon the throne of David and Upon his kingdom, By establishing it and By sustaining it, With justice and With righteousness, —From henceforth, Even unto times age-abiding: The jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this!
Ku fulat lal ac fah yokyokelik ac wangin saflaiya; Tokosrai lal fah oan in misla pacl nukewa. El fah leum in aolulla Tokosra David; Ku lal ac fah oakwuk ke pwaye ac suwoswos Ingela ac nu tok. Pwayena LEUM GOD Kulana El ac oru ma inge!
8 A word, hath My Lord, sent unto Jacob, —And it shall alight on Israel;
Leum El fahkak nununku lal nu fin tokosrai lun Israel, nu fin fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
9 and the people shall all of them know [it] —Ephraim and the dweller in Samaria—Who in pride and insolence of heart, are saying:
Mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos su muta in siti lun Samaria, fah etu lah El oru ma inge. Mweyen elos filang ac inse fulat, elos fahk,
10 Bricks, have fallen down But with hewn stone, will we build, —Sycomores, have been felled, But with cedars, will we replace them.
“Lohm orekla ke brick mokukla, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke eot tufahl. Sak sycamore taltal uh, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke sak cedar wowo.”
11 Therefore will Yahweh strengthen the adversaries of Resin against him, —And his enemies will he arouse:
LEUM GOD El purakak mwet lokoalok lalos — mwet mweun lal Rezin in tuku mweun lainulos.
12 Syrians before and Philistines behind, Thus have they devoured Israel with open mouth, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
Syria layen kutulap ac Philistia layen roto akola na in okomla acn Israel. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tiana safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
13 Yet, the people, have not turned unto him that smote them, —And Yahweh of hosts, have they not sought.
Mwet Israel tiana auliyak. LEUM GOD Kulana El ne kalyaelos, elos soenna foloko nu yorol.
14 Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel—Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.
Ke len sefanna LEUM GOD El fah kalyei mwet kol lun Israel ac mwet lalos. El fah wotela sifa ac pula, lah ac sra.
15 The elder and favourite, he, is the head, —And the prophet teaching falsehood, he, is the tail;
Mwet matu ma akfulatyeyuk pa sifa-ac mwet palu kikiap pa pula!
16 And they who should have led this people forward have been causing them to stray, —And, they who are led of them are destroyed,
Elos su kol mwet inge elos aktafongyelosla ac arulana akfohsyalosyak.
17 For this cause, over their choice young men, will My Lord not rejoice, And on their fatherless and their widows, will he not have compassion, For every one of them, is profane and an evildoer, And, every mouth is speaking baseness, —For all this, hath his anger, not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke mwet fusr lalos, ac wangin pakomuta lal nu sin katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal, mweyen mwet nukewa elos lain God, ac kutasrik, ac ma nukewa elos fahk uh koluk. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD fah tia safla, a El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
18 For lawlessness, hath consumed like fire, Briars and thorns, doth it devour, —Yea it hath kindled upon the thickets of the forest, And they have rolled up as a column of smoke.
Ma koluk lun mwet uh firir oana sie e ma esukak mahsrik ac kokul — sie e lulap insak uh ma fosryak oana sruen kulasr.
19 Through the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, is the land consumed, —And the people have come to be, as fuel for fire, A man unto his own brother, sheweth not pity;
Mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El kasrkusrak, kaiyuk lal firir oana sie e sasla fin acn uh ac esukla mwet, ac kais sie mwet fah sifacna fosrngakunul.
20 And he hath slain on the right, and yet is hungry, And hath eaten on the left, yet are they not satisfied, —Every one, the flesh of his own arm, will they eat:
Yen nukewa in facl sac mwet uh ac alak in kang kutena ipin mwe mongo ma elos konauk, a masrinsral lalos tiana wanginla. Finne tulik natulos sifacna, elos kang pac!
21 Manasseh—Ephraim, and Ephraim—Manasseh, They together—against Judah, —For all this, hath his anger not turned back, But still, is his hand outstretched.
Mwet Manasseh ac mwet Ephraim elos sroani aacnwuki, ac elos tukeni sroang ac mweuni Judah. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tia safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
