Isaiah 9
1 But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Acn sin sruf lal Zebulun ac sruf lal Naphtali tuh pilesreyuk meet, tusruktu in pacl fahsru ac fah akfulatyeyuk, liki Meoa Mediterranean nu layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan, fahla na nwe Galilee, yen mwet in mutunfacl saya elos muta we.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
Mwet su fufahsryesr in lohsr, Elos liye sie kalem lulap. Elos tuh muta in sie facl na lohsr, A inge kalem srelosi.
3 You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
Leum, kom akpusye mwet in mutunfacl sac; Kom akinsewowoyalos. Elos engankin ma kom orala, Oana ke mwet uh engan ke pacl in kosrani, Ku ke elos kitalik ma wap.
4 For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
Tuh kom kotalik srenenu toasrlana faclos Ac sukan sringsring ma sringil finpisalos. Kom kutangla mutunfacl se Ma akkeokye ac aklalfonye mwet lom, Oana ke kom kutangla un mwet mweun lun Midian in pacl somla.
5 For all the armour of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
Fahluk nukewa lun un mwet mweun, Ac nuknuk lalos ma afla ke srah, Fah isisyak ke e.
6 For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Tuh isusla sie tulik nu sesr! Ituku nu sesr sie wen! El fah leum facsr. Ac El fah pangpang, “Mwet Pwapa Wolana,” “God Kulana,” “Papa Ma Pahtpaht,” “Fihsrak lun Misla.”
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.
Ku fulat lal ac fah yokyokelik ac wangin saflaiya; Tokosrai lal fah oan in misla pacl nukewa. El fah leum in aolulla Tokosra David; Ku lal ac fah oakwuk ke pwaye ac suwoswos Ingela ac nu tok. Pwayena LEUM GOD Kulana El ac oru ma inge!
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
Leum El fahkak nununku lal nu fin tokosrai lun Israel, nu fin fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
9 All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
Mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos su muta in siti lun Samaria, fah etu lah El oru ma inge. Mweyen elos filang ac inse fulat, elos fahk,
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
“Lohm orekla ke brick mokukla, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke eot tufahl. Sak sycamore taltal uh, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke sak cedar wowo.”
11 Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
LEUM GOD El purakak mwet lokoalok lalos — mwet mweun lal Rezin in tuku mweun lainulos.
12 The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Syria layen kutulap ac Philistia layen roto akola na in okomla acn Israel. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tiana safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
13 Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
Mwet Israel tiana auliyak. LEUM GOD Kulana El ne kalyaelos, elos soenna foloko nu yorol.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
Ke len sefanna LEUM GOD El fah kalyei mwet kol lun Israel ac mwet lalos. El fah wotela sifa ac pula, lah ac sra.
15 The elder and the honourable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
Mwet matu ma akfulatyeyuk pa sifa-ac mwet palu kikiap pa pula!
16 For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
Elos su kol mwet inge elos aktafongyelosla ac arulana akfohsyalosyak.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke mwet fusr lalos, ac wangin pakomuta lal nu sin katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal, mweyen mwet nukewa elos lain God, ac kutasrik, ac ma nukewa elos fahk uh koluk. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD fah tia safla, a El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Ma koluk lun mwet uh firir oana sie e ma esukak mahsrik ac kokul — sie e lulap insak uh ma fosryak oana sruen kulasr.
19 Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
Mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El kasrkusrak, kaiyuk lal firir oana sie e sasla fin acn uh ac esukla mwet, ac kais sie mwet fah sifacna fosrngakunul.
20 One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
Yen nukewa in facl sac mwet uh ac alak in kang kutena ipin mwe mongo ma elos konauk, a masrinsral lalos tiana wanginla. Finne tulik natulos sifacna, elos kang pac!
21 Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Mwet Manasseh ac mwet Ephraim elos sroani aacnwuki, ac elos tukeni sroang ac mweuni Judah. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tia safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
