Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek the LORD!
We nu selos su som nu Egypt in suk kasru! Elos lulalfongi ke ku lulap lun Egypt — ke horse ac chariot puspis, ac un mwet mweun lalos. Elos tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD mutal lun Israel, ku siyuk kasru sel.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.
El lalmwetmet in ma El oru! El supu mwe ongoiya. El ac akfalye kas lal in kalyei mwet koluk oayapa elos su loangelos.
3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.
Mwet Egypt uh tia god-elos mwet na. Wangin pac ku mwenmen lun horse natulos. Pacl se LEUM GOD El ac srukak ku lal, mutunfacl na ku ac fah tukulkul, ac mutunfacl munas ma kasreyuk ac ikori. Acn inge kewa ac fah kunausyukla.
4 For the LORD says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so the LORD of Hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet shepherd uh finne sasa ac wowo, elos tia ku in lusla soko lion liki kosro soko ma el uniya. In ouiya sacna, wangin ma ku in tulokinyuwi, LEUM GOD Kulana, liki in loango Eol Zion.
5 As birds hovering, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”
Oana ke sie won el pikpik fin ahng lal in loango ma fusr natul, ouinge nga LEUM GOD Kulana fah karingin Jerusalem ac loangel.”
6 Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.
God El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos orekma koluk lainyu ac kisrung ma nga oru. Tusruktu inge kowos foloko nu yuruk!
7 For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.
Pacl se ac tuku ke kowos nukewa ac fah sisla ma sruloala koluk ma kowos orala ke silver ac gold.
8 “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labour.
Acn Assyria ac fah kunausyukla ke mweun, ac tia ke ku lun mwet. Mwet Assyria ac fah kaing liki mweun, ac mukul fusr lalos ac fah utukla nu in kohs.
9 His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Tokosra fulat lalos ac fah sangeng ac kaingla, ac mwet leum lalos ac fah arulana tuninfongla, oru elos ac sisla flag in mweun lalos.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge — LEUM GOD su akfulatyeyuk in Jerusalem, ac su e lal firir we mwe kisa.
