Isaiah 17
1 The burden of Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Siti Damascus ac fah kunausyukla, ac ekla yol in na ma musalla.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.
Ac fah wanginla mwet muta in siti nukewa lun acn Syria nwe tok. Ac fah ekla acn mahma nien mongo lun sheep ac cow, ac wangin mwet ac luselosyak.
3 The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says the LORD of Armies.
Ac fah wanginla ma loangeyen Israel, ac siti Damascus ac fah tia sifil sifacna nununkal. Mwet Syria su painmoulla ac fah akmwekinyeyuk oana mwet Israel. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
4 “It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sie len ac tuku ke wolana lun Israel ac fah wanginla, ac pacl mut lal ac fah ekla nu ke pacl sracl.
5 It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Israel ac fah oana sie ima in wheat ma kosrkosrla tari, ac filfilla oana sie ima Infahlfal Rephaim ke kinkinla lisr fahko.
6 Yet gleanings will be left there, like the shaking of an olive tree, two or three olives in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outermost branches of a fruitful tree,” says the LORD, the God of Israel.
Mwet na pu fah moulla, na acn Israel ac fah oana soko sak olive ma fahko nukewa sifeyukeni sayen ma luo na ku tolu ke lah oelucng, ku kais kutu na lula ke lah ten ah. Nga, LEUM GOD lun Israel, pa fahk ma inge.”
7 In that day, people will look to their Maker, and their eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
Ke len sac, mwet uh ac fah forla in suk kasru sin El Su oralosla, God mutal lun Israel.
8 They will not look to the altars, the work of their hands; neither shall they respect that which their fingers have made, either the Asherah poles or the incense altars.
Elos ac tia sifil alu ke loang ma elos orala ke paolos sifacna in kisakin mwe keng fac, ku lulalfongi sru ma elos tulokunak nu sin god mutan Asherah.
9 In that day, their strong cities will be like the forsaken places in the woods and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the children of Israel; and it will be a desolation.
Ke len sac, siti ma potyak ku ac fah sisila ac filfilla in kulawi, oana siti ma mwet Hiv ac mwet Amor tuh kaingkunla ke elos kaingkin mwet Israel.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.
Israel, kom mulkunla God su molikomla ac karingin kom oana sie eot kulana. Ac kom yukwiya sie ima oal nu sin sie god sac.
11 In the day of your planting, you hedge it in. In the morning, you make your seed blossom, but the harvest flees away in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Tusruktu ma inge finne srunak ac farengla ke lotutang se na kom yukwiya ah, a ac fah wangin fahko in kosrani. Ac fah oasr lokoalok mukena, ac waiok su koflana tui.
12 Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!
Mutunfacl kulana puspis ngisyak ke sie pusra oana ngirngir lun meoa, oana toki lun noa lulap weacn uh.
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters, but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far off, and will be chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.
Mutunfacl uh ac rirme oana noa toki, tusruktu God El ac kaelos na elos foloki, pahleyukla oana kutkut pe eol uh, ku oana ke eng fohru uh pokak mah pao uh.
14 At evening, behold, terror! Before the morning, they are no more. This is the portion of those who plunder us, and the lot of those who rob us.
Ke eku uh elos aktuninfongye mwet uh, a ke lotutang elos wanginla. Pa ingan ma ac sikyak nu selos nukewa su utyak kunausla ac pisre ma in facl sesr uh.
