< Isaiah 13 >

1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Kas in fahkak se inge, su Isaiah wen natul Amoz el tuh eis sin God, ma ke acn Babylon.
2 Lift ye up a banner upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them, shake the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
Amakunak flag in mweun fin soko eol musrasra! Sapsap nu sin mwet mweun uh, ac kolak poum in sie akul nu selos in fahsryang ac mweuni mutunpot lun siti inse fulat sac.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, I have also called my mighty ones for my anger, [even] them that rejoice in my highness.
LEUM GOD El pangon mwet mweun fulat ac ku lal nu ke sie mweun mutal, in kalyaelos su El kasrkusrak se.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Porongo pusren wohwon fineol uh — pusren sie un mwet na lulap, pusren mutunfacl ac tokosrai ke elos toeni. LEUM GOD lun Un Mwet Mweun El akoo u lal nu ke mweun.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, [even] the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Elos tuku liki acn loessula me, acn puspis ke saflaiyen faclu. In kasrkusrak lal, LEUM GOD El tuku in kunausla facl sac nufon.
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD [is] at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Kowos in tung ke keok! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme — len se ma El su ku liki ku El ac sukela ma nukewa.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:
Poun mwet nukewa ac fah munasla, ac inse pulaik lun mwet uh ac fah wanginla.
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces [shall be as] flames.
Elos nukewa ac fah tuninfongla ac munasla ke waiok, oana sie mutan isus. Elos fah ngetani nu sie ke sangeng, ac mutalos fah srusrala ke mwekin.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he will destroy its sinners out of it.
Len lun LEUM GOD ac tuku — len in folo ke kasrkusrak ac ke fol lal. Faclu ac fah orekla sie acn mwesis, ac mwet orekma koluk nukewa ac fah sikiyukla.
10 For the stars of heaven and its constellations shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Kais sie itu ac u in itu nukewa fah tila saromrom. Faht uh ac fah lohsr pacl se el takak, ac ac fah wangin kalem lun malem.
11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac fah use ongoiya lulap nu fin faclu ac kalyei mwet koluk nukewa ke ma koluk lalos. Nga ac akpusiselyalos nukewa su inse fulat, ac toanya nunak fulat nukewa lun mwet filang ac sulallal.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Mwet su ac painmoulla uh ac sesa liki gold wowo.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Nga fah oru kusrao in rarrar, ac faclu ac fah usrusrla liki acn oan we in len se ke nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, akkalemye kasrkusrak luk.
14 And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one to his own land.
“Mwetsac su muta Babylon fah kaingla nu in facl selos sifacna — kaingelik oana deer kaingkin mwet sruh kosro, ku oana sheep wangin mwet shepherd la.
15 Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined [to them] shall fall by the sword.
Kutena mwet su sruh ac fah fakfuki in misa.
16 Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be plundered, and their wives ravished.
Elos ac tu ngetang ac wangin ma elos ku in oru ke tulik srisrik natulos ac fah puopo nwe ke misa, ac lohm selos wapiyuki, ac mutan kialos sruinkuiyuk sin mwet mweun uh.”
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and [as for] gold, they shall not delight in it.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah purakak mwet Media in mweuni acn Babylon. Wangin enenu lalos ke silver, ac elos tia mwel gold.
18 [Their] bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Elos ac uniya mwet fusr ke mwe pisr natulos. Wangin pakomuta lalos nu sin tulik fusr ac tulik srisrik.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellence, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Babylonia pa tokosrai se ma oasku oemeet uh, mwe konkin lun mwet we. Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kunausla Babylon oana ke nga tuh oru nu sin Sodom ac Gomorrah!
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
Wangin mwet ac fah sifilpa muta we. Mwet takusrkusr lun Arabia ac fah tia sifilpa tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos we, ac wangin mwet shepherd fah sifil kite un kosro natulos we.
21 But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
Ac fah sie acn sin kosro lemnak yen mwesis, ac yen in orek ahng lun won owl. Won ostrich ac fah muta we, ac nani lemnak fah yuwot yume fin mahnum we.
22 And the wild beasts of the isles shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in [their] pleasant palaces: and her time [is] near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Nien san, oayapa inkul fulat sin tokosra, fah sessesla ke pusren tung lun kosro lemnak uh. Pacl lun Babylon summa! Len lal akuranna safla.”
