< Isaiah 19 >

1 [I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Egypt: “Listen to this! I, Yahweh, am coming to Egypt, riding on a fast-moving cloud. The idols in Egypt will tremble when [I appear], and the people of Egypt will be extremely afraid [IDM].
Kas in fahkak inge ma ke acn Egypt. LEUM GOD El ac tuku nu Egypt fin sie pukunyeng na mui. Ma sruloala in acn Egypt rarrar ye mutal, ac insien mwet Egypt uh munasla.
2 I will cause the people of Egypt to fight against each other: men will fight against their brothers, neighbors will fight against each other, people of one city will fight against the people of another city, people of one province will fight against the people of another province.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah purakak mweun inmasrlon mwet Egypt Sifacna — tamulel ac fah lain tamulel, ac mwet tulan lain mwet tulan. Siti we ac fah alein sie sin sie, ac tokosra su alein ac fah amei in sukok lah su kac ac kol.
3 The people of Egypt will become very discouraged, and I will cause their plans not to be successful. They will plead with idols and sorcerers and those who talk with spirits of dead people to tell them what they should do.
Nga ac fah akfohsyauk pwapa lun mwet Egypt ac oru in wanginla finsrak lalos. Elos ac fah siyuk kasru sin ma sruloala lalos, ac lolngok yurin mwet inutnut ac siyuk kasru sin ngunin mwet misa.
4 Then I will enable someone who will treat them very cruelly to become their king [DOU].” That is what I, the Commander of the armies of angels, say.
Nga ac fah asang mwet Egypt nu inpoun sie tokosra sulallal ac koluk, su ac fah leum faclos. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
5 [Some day] the water in the [Nile] River will dry up, and the riverbed will become very dry [DOU].
Kof ke Infacl Nile ac sriksrikeni nwe ke na mihnla.
6 The branches of the river will all dry up [DOU] The canals along the river will stink because of the rotting reeds and (bulrushes/tall grass).
Acn ma kof tuh soror we meet ac mwesia nwe ke kolukla fohlo. Loa ac mah ma kap pe infacl uh ac fah masla,
7 All the plants along the river and all the crops will dry up; then they will blow away and disappear.
ac fita, ac ma nukewa ma yukwiyuk pe Infacl Nile, fah paola ac ukukla.
8 The fishermen will throw into the river lines with hooks on them and nets, and then they will groan and be very discouraged; they will be sad [because there will be no fish in the river].
Elos nukewa su patur ke Infacl Nile fah sasao ac tung. Ka ac kwa lalos ac wanginla sripa.
9 Those who weave cloth from flax will not know what to do, because there will be no thread for them to weave.
Elos su orek nuknuk linen ac fah wanginla finsrak lalos.
10 They will all despair and be very discouraged.
Mwet otwot ac mwet pah in orala ma usrnguk ac fosrngala ac supwarlana.
11 The officials in Zoan [city in northern Egypt] are foolish. The advice that they gave to the king was worthless. Why do they continue to tell the king that they are wise, that they are descendants of wise kings who lived long ago [RHQ]?
Mwet kol lun Siti Zoan elos lalfon! Mukul ma arulana lalmwetmet in acn Egypt elos sang kas in kasru na sutuu ac lalfon! Elos ac fahk fuka nu sin tokosra lah elos ma in sou lun mwet luti fulat ac tokosra lun pacl meet ah?
12 King, (where are your wise counselors now?/You have no wise counselors now!) [RHQ] If you had any wise counselors, they could tell you what the Commander of the armies of angels has planned to do to Egypt [SAR]!
Tokosra Egypt, pia mwet kasru lalmwetmet lom uh? Sahp elos ac ku in fahk nu sum ma LEUM GOD Kulana El akoo in oru nu in facl Egypt.
13 [Yes], the officials of Zoan have become foolish, and the leaders in Memphis [city in northern Egypt] have deceived themselves. [All] leaders of the people have (caused their people to do wrong things/led their people astray).
Mwet pwapa fulat lun siti Zoan ac Memphis elos lalfon. Fal in elos pa kol mutunfacl se inge, a elos sang kas in kasru na sutuu.
14 Yahweh has caused them to be very foolish, with the result that in everything that they do, [it is as though the people of] Egypt stagger like [SIM] a drunken person staggers [and slips] in his own vomit.
LEUM GOD El oru tuh kas in kasru lalos in akfohsyeak mwet uh. Ke sripa inge, ma nukewa Egypt el oru tafongla. Elos tukulkul oana sie mwet sruhi su musrela fin woht lal sifacna.
15 There is no one in Egypt, rich or poor, important or unimportant, [who will be able to help them].
Wangin sie mwet fulat ku pusisel, kasrup ku sukasrup, in fahl Egypt su ku in kasru mutunfacl sac.
16 At that time, the people of Egypt will be [as helpless] as [SIM] women. They will tremble, being terrified [because they know that] the Commander of the armies of angels has raised his fist, [ready to strike/punish them].
Oasr pacl se ac tuku ke mwet Egypt ac fah sangengtot oana mutan uh. Elos ac rarrar ke tuninfong pacl se ke elos liye lah LEUM GOD Kulana El asroela paol in kaelos.
17 The people of Egypt will be afraid of the people of Judah, and anyone who mentions Judah to them will cause them to be terrified, because [that will remind them] of what Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels, is planning to do to them.
Mwet Egypt ac fah arulana sangeng sin mwet Judah ke pacl nukewa elos ac esamak mwe ongoiya ma LEUM GOD Kulana El akoo nu selos.
18 At that time, [people in] five cities in Egypt will solemnly declare that they will serve Yahweh. They will [learn to] speak the Hebrew language. One of those cities will be called ‘City of the Sun’.
Ke pacl sac ac tuku, kas Hebrew ac fah orekmakinyuk in siti limekosr in acn Egypt. Mwet we ac fah oru fulahk lalos Inen LEUM GOD Kulana. Sie sin siti inge ac fah pangpang, “Siti lun Faht.”
19 At that time, there will be an altar for worshiping Yahweh in the center of Egypt, and there will be a (pillar/large rock) to honor Yahweh at the border [between Egypt and Israel].
Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ac fah oasr sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Egypt, ac soko sru eot ac kisakinyuk nu sel ke masrol se siska nu kutulap in acn Egypt.
20 That will be a sign to indicate that the Commander of the armies of angels is worshiped in the land of Egypt. And when the people cry out to Yahweh to help them because others are (oppressing them/causing them to suffer), he will send to them someone who will defend and rescue them.
Ma inge ac fah sie mwe akul lah LEUM GOD El oasr in facl Egypt. Kutena pacl mwet we elos akkeokyeyuk ac elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD in kasrelos, El ac supwala sie mwet in molelosla.
21 Yahweh will enable the people of Egypt to know who he is, and at that time they will have a close relationship with Yahweh and worship him and bring to him offerings of grain and other sacrifices. They will solemnly promise to do things for Yahweh, and they will do what they promise.
LEUM GOD El ac fahkulak sifacna nu sin mwet Egypt, ac elos fah etal ac alu nu sel, ac us mwe kisa ac mwe sang nu sel. Elos fah orek wulela ku nu sel, ac oru oana ma elos wulela kac.
22 After Yahweh has punished Egypt, he will cause their troubles to end. The people of Egypt will turn to Yahweh, and he will listen when they plead to him [for help], and he will cause their troubles to cease.
LEUM GOD El fah kalyei mwet Egypt, tusruktu El ac fah akkeyalosla. Elos ac forla nu sel, ac El fah lohng pre lalos ac akkeyalos.
23 At that time, there will be a highway between Egypt and Assyria. [As a result], the people of Egypt will [be able to] travel [easily] to Assyria, and the people of Assyria [will be able to travel easily] to Egypt. And the people of both countries will worship [Yahweh].
Ke pacl sacn ac tuku, ac fah oasr soko inkanek lulap inmasrlon acn Egypt ac Assyria. Mwet uh ac fufahsryesr inmasrlon facl luo inge, ac elos fah tukeni alu.
24 And Israel will be their ally. All three nations will be [friendly to] each other, and the people of Israel will be a blessing to the people of the entire world.
In pacl sacn, Israel ac fah wela pac Egypt ac Assyria, ac mutunfacl tolu inge ac fah mwe insewowo nu sin faclu nufon.
25 The Commander of the armies of angels will bless them, saying, “[You people of] Egypt are now my people. You people of Assyria, I have established your country. You people of Israel are the people whom I have chosen to belong to me.”
LEUM GOD Kulana El fah akinsewowoyalos ac fahk, “Nga fah akinsewowoye kom, Egypt, mwet luk; ac kom, Assyria, su nga orala; ac kom, Israel, mwet solla luk.”
