Isaiah 33
1 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
We nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr! Elos pisrapasr ac kiapu mwet uh, finne wangin mwet pisre ma lalos ku kiapwelos. Tusruktu pacl in pusr ac kikiap lalos ac safla, ac elos sifacna ac fah kiapweyuk ac pisreyuk ma lalos.
2 Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
LEUM GOD, pakoten nu sesr. Kut filiya finsrak lasr in kom. Karingin kut len nu ke len, ac molikutla in pacl ongoiya.
3 Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
Pacl kom mweun kacsr uh, mutunfacl uh kaingla ke elos lohng kusen mweun.
4 [And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
Ma lalos nukewa ac fah orekeni ac utukla in ma wap, oana ke un locust uh kangla sroan ima nukewa.
5 Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
Fuka lupan fulatlana lun LEUM GOD! El pa nununku ma nukewa. El fah nwakla acn Jerusalem ke suwoswos ac pwaye,
6 [When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
ac oru tuh mutunfacl se inge in oakwuki ku. El karl ngin mwet lal pacl nukewa, ac sang lalmwetmet ac etauk nu selos. Ma saok se ma yohk emeet selos pa etu in sunakin LEUM GOD.
7 [But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
Mwet na pulaik elos sukok ka sru. Mwet tutafpo fulat su suk inka nek in misla elos tung mwemelil.
8 No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
Inkanek lulap uh yokla mwe sensen we oru wangin mwet fufahsryesr fac. Oakwuk in insesela ma orekla inmasrlon mutunfacl uh musalla, ac wanginla pac akfulatyeyen mwet uh.
9 The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
Acn uh oanna ke wangin, ac wangin mwet muta we. Insak in acn Lebanon masla, ac infahlfal Sharon ma wo fohk we uh mwesisla, ac sroan sak uh in acn Bashan ac fin Eol Carmel putatla.
10 Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mutunfacl puspis, “Inge, nga ac mukuila ac akkalemye kuiyuk.
11 You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
Kowos oru pwapa lusrongten, ac ma nukewa kowos oru wangin sripa. Ngunik, su oana sie e, ac kunauskowosla.”
12 [Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
Kowos ac mokutkuti oana eot ma isikyak in orek fasr — oana otonsak ma firirla nwe ke apatla.
13 You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
Lela mwet nukewa yen apkuran ac yen loessula in lohng ma nga orala ac akilen ku luk.”
14 The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
Mwet koluk in Zion elos rarrar ke sangeng. Elos fahk, “Nununku lun God oana sie e ma firir nwe tok. Ya oasr kutena sesr ku in painmoulla ke kain in e ouinge uh?”
15 Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
Kowos ku in moul kowos fin oru ma suwohs ac kaskas pwaye. Nik kowos orekmakin ku lowos in kiapu mwet sukasrup, ac nik kowos eis molin eyeinse. Nik kowos kupasryang nu selos su akoo in orek akmas ku in oru kutena ouiya koluk.
16 they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
Na kowos ac fah moulla. Kowos ac fah okak na, oana ke kowos in muta ke sie pot ku yen fulat. Ac fah oasr mwe mongo nowos ac kof nimowos.
17 You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
Kowos ac fah sifilpa liye sie tokosra in wolana lal su leumi sie facl na lulap.
18 When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
Kowos ac fah esamak sangeng lowos ke mwetsac su eisani takma, ac mwet kalngeyuk ma oakla tower ke siti lowos.
19 Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
Kowos ac tia sifil liye mwetsac ma orek funmwet ac kaskaskin sie kas ma kowos tia ku in kalem kac.
20 [At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
Ngetla liye acn Zion, siti se ma kut oru kufwa mutal lasr we. Liye acn Jerusalem! Sie acn misla su ac wo in muta we! Acn we ac fah oana sie lohm nuknuk ma tiana mokleyukla, su kwi kac uh tiana fifyak, ac sucl kac uh tia wi wotla.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
LEUM GOD El fah akkalemye wolana lal nu sesr. Kut fah muta sisken infacl sralap ac sungan infacl srisrik. Tusruktu oak lulap okan mwet sulallal uh ac fah tiana kalkal we.
22 Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
Tuh LEUM GOD pa ac nununkekut. El tokosra lasr su ac leumi kut ac loangekutla.
23 The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
Sucl fin oak ingan foroti — tia ku in sruokya koesu uh in okak, ku amakunak nes uh in elakelik. Kut ac sruokya mwe kasrup nukewa lun mwet lokoalok lasr ac kitalik. Ac fah yolyak nu sesr, pwanang finne mwet sukapas, ac oasr pac ip lalos.
24 And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
Wangin mwet in facl sesr ac fah fahk mu, “Nga mas.” Ma koluk lun mwet nukewa fah nunak munas nu selos.
