Isaiah 10
1 We nu suwos! Kowos orek ma sap sesuwos ma akkeokye mwet luk.
Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
2 Ke kowos oru ouinge kowos kosrala mwet sukasrup liki suwohs lalos ac liki nununku suwos nu selos, oayapa kowos eisla ma lun katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal.
in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
3 Mea kowos ac oru ke God El ac kai kowos— Mea kowos ac oru ke El ac use mwe ongoiya nu fowos liki sie facl loessula — Kowos ac kasrusr in suk kasru sin su — Kowos ac okanla mwe kasrup lowos uh oya?
What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
4 Ac fah anwuki kowos in mweun, ku amala kowos oana mwet kapir. Ne ouinge kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD fah tia safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Assyria! Nga orekmakin Assyria oana sak in anwuk soko in kaelos su nga kasrkusrak se.
Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
6 Nga supwala Assyria in mweun nu sin sie mutunfacl ma wangin god la, su mwet we uh akkasrkusrakyeyu. Nga supwalos in pisre, wapi, ac lolongya mwet uh oana fohk inkanek uh.”
I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
7 Tusruktu oasr ako yohk lun tokosra fulat lun Assyria sifacna, in kunausla mutunfacl puspis.
But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
8 El konkin ac fahk, “Mwet kol fulat luk nukewa ke mweun elos tokosra!
For he will say:
9 Nga kutangla siti lun Calno ac Carchemish, siti lun Hamath ac Arpad. Nga kutangla Samaria ac Damascus.
“Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
10 Nga asroela pouk in kai tokosrai ma alu nu ke ma sruloala — ma sruloala ingan pus liki ma oasr Jerusalem ac Samaria.
In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
11 Nga kunausla tari acn Samaria ac ma sruloala nukewa we, ac nga ac oru oapana nu Jerusalem.”
Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
12 Tusruktu LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke nga ac aksafyela ma nga oru fin Eol Zion ac Jerusalem, nga ac kalyei tokosra fulat lun Assyria ke sripen kas in konkin nukewa lal ac inse fulat lal.”
And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
13 Tokosra fulat lun Assyria el konkin ac fahk, “Nga oru ma inge nukewa ke ku ac lalmwetmet ac pah luk sifacna. Nga kunausla masrol lun mutunfacl puspis, ac eisla ma saok ma elos elosak. Nga lolongya mwet uh oana cow mukul soko.
For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
14 Mutunfacl uh nufon oana ahng lun won, ac nga orani mwe kasrup lalos arulana fisrasr, oana ke sie mwet orani atro uh. Tia sie posohksok pikpikyak in ukweyuyak; wangin oalin won mangelik in aksangengyeyu!”
And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
15 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ya soko tuhla ku in fahk mu el ku liki mwet se ma orekmakin uh — Ya sie tahta yohk sripa liki mwet se ma tahtakin uh — Soko sak in sringsring tia ku in srukak mwet se; a mwet se pa ac srukak sak in sringsring soko uh.”
Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
16 LEUM GOD Kulana El ac supwama mas in kaelos su kihp ke mwe mongo yuyu. Sie e ac fah firir na firir in manolos.
Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
17 God, su kalem lun Israel, fah oana sie e. God mutal lun Israel El fah ekla nu ke kosran e ma ac fah esukak kokul ac sak nukewa ma oasr otoh kac ke len sefanna.
And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
18 Insak lulap oayapa acn in ima wolana ac fah arulana sikiyukla, oana ke mas upa ac akmunasyela sie mwet nwe ke el misa.
And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
19 Ac fah arulana supuseni sak, oru sie tulik srisrik ku in oakla nufon.
And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
20 Pacl se ac fah tuku ke mwet Israel su painmoulla ac fah tia sifil lulalfongi mutunfacl se ma apkuran in kunauselosla. Elos ac fah filiya lulalfongi na pwaye lalos in LEUM GOD, God mutal lun Israel.
And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Mwet pu sin mwet Israel fah foloko nu yurin God Kulana lalos.
The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
22 Finne arulana pukanten mwet Israel in pacl inge, oana puk wekof uh, a mwet na pu selos fah foloko. Ongoiya lulap lemla nu sin mwet uh, fal nu ke orekma lalos.
For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
23 Aok, LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El fah use mwe ongoiya lulap nu fin facl sac nufon, oana ke El fahk mu El ac oru.
For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
24 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El fahk nu sin mwet lal su muta Zion, “Nimet sangeng sin mwet Assyria, elos finne akkeokye kowos oana ke mwet Egypt tuh oru.
For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
25 In kitin pacl na nga ac aksafye kaiyuk luk nu suwos, na nga fah kunauselosla.
But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
26 Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, fah srunglulos ke mwe sringsring luk oana ke nga tuh oru nu sin mwet Midian sisken Eot lal Oreb. Nga fah kai mwet Assyria oana nga tuh kolak sikal luk fin meoa ac kai mwet Egypt.
And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
27 In pacl sacn, nga ac tulekowosla liki ku lun mwet Assyria, ac srenenu lalos ac fah tia sifilpa toasr nu finpisowos.”
And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
28 Mwet lokoalok elos eisla siti lun Ai. Elos utyak sasla Migron! Elos filiya ap lalos Michmash!
He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
29 Elos alukela tari inkanek oasriksrik inmasrlon eol uh ac motulla Geba! Mwet in siti Ramah elos arulana sangeng, ac mwet in acn Gebeah, siti sel Tokosra Saul, elos kaingla.
They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Mwet Gallim, kowos sasa! Mwet Laishah, kowos in lohng! Mwet Anathoth, kowos in topokla!
Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
31 Mwet Madmenah ac mwet Gebim elos kaing in suk moul lalos.
Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
32 Misenge mwet lokoalok elos sun siti Nob. Elos kolak paolos ac fisik nu ke Eol Zion, ac nu ke siti Jerusalem.
It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
33 LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah siselosi nu in fohk uh oana lesak pakpukla liki sak na fulat. Mwet ma filang ac inse fulat selos ac fah pakpuki ac akpusiselyeyuk.
Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
34 LEUM GOD El ac sukelosla, oana sak ma oan infulwen insak uh ke ac pakpuki ke tuhla, oana ke sak na wowo Lebanon ac ikriyuki!
And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
