Isaiah 27
1 At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
In len sac LEUM GOD El ac orekmakin cutlass kulana natul in kalyael Leviathan, dragon soko ma tipirpir ac worwor, ac El ac uniya kosro sulallal lulap soko in meoa uh.
2 At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
In len sac LEUM GOD El fah fahk ke ima in grape kato se lal,
3 I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
“Nga liyaung ac aksroksrokye pacl nukewa. Nga liyaung na ke len ac fong, tuh in wangin mwet akkolukye.
4 I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
Nga tila kasrkusrak ke ima grape sac. Funu oasr kokul ku mah fakfuk nga in lain, nga lukun seukak nufon.
5 unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
Tusruktu mwet lokoalok lun mwet luk fin lungse nga in karinganulosyang, lela elos in tuku auliyak nu sik. Aok, lela elos in suk misla yuruk.”
6 There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
In kutu pacl fa hsru, mwet Israel — filin tulik natul Jacob — fah okahla oana soko sak, ac elos fah fokla ac farengelik. Faclu ac fah afla ke fahko lalos.
7 [But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
Mwet Israel tiana kaoyeiyuk sin LEUM GOD in upa oana mwet lokoalok lalos, ac tia pac us mwet lalos tuhlac.
8 [No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
LEUM GOD El kalyei mwet lal ke El supwalosla nu in ssruoh. El pokolosla ke sie eng na upa kutulap me.
9 Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
Tusruktu ma koluk lun Israel ac fah tuleyukla ke pacl se na eot ke loang lun mwet pegan uh ilili nwe ke mokutkuti, ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah, oayapa loang in esukak mwe keng uh, wanginla.
10 The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
Siti ma tuh oasr pot ku we musallana oan — oana sie scn mwesis ma wangin kutena ma we. Ekla oana sie acn cow uh mongla ac mongo mah ac lesak we.
11 [The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
Lesak uh paola ac kaptelik, na mutan uh telani mwe etong. Ke sripen wangin etauk lun mwet uh, oru God su oralosla El fah tia pakomutalos ku akkalemye pakoten lal nu selos.
12 [However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
Ke len sac, LEUM GOD El ac fah eisani mwet lal kais sie, oana ke srisrielik wheat liki kulun wheat uh, mutawauk Infacl Euphrates lac nwe sisken Egypt.
13 At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
In len sac, sie ukuk ac fah ukuki in folokonma mwet Israel nukewa su muta in sruoh in acn Assyria ac Egypt. Elos fah tuku ac alu nu sin LEUM GOD in Jerusalem, fin eol mutal sel.
