Isaiah 10
1 We nu suwos! Kowos orek ma sap sesuwos ma akkeokye mwet luk.
“Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness,
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.
Of My people, That widows may be their prey, That they may spoil the fatherless.
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?
And what do you do at a day of inspection? And at desolation that comes from afar? Near whom do you flee for help? And where do you leave your 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.
It has bowed down without Me In the place of a bound one, And they fall in the place of the slain.” With all this His anger has not turned back, And His hand is still stretched out.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Assyria! Nga orekmakin Assyria oana sak in anwuk soko in kaelos su nga kasrkusrak se.
“Woe [to] Asshur, a rod of My anger, And My indignation [is] a staff in their hand.
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 send him against a profane nation, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.
7 Tusruktu oasr ako yohk lun tokosra fulat lun Assyria sifacna, in kunausla mutunfacl puspis.
And he does not think [it] so, And his heart does not reckon [it] so, For—to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations—not a few.
8 El konkin ac fahk, “Mwet kol fulat luk nukewa ke mweun elos tokosra!
For he says, Are my princes not altogether kings?
9 Nga kutangla siti lun Calno ac Carchemish, siti lun Hamath ac Arpad. Nga kutangla Samaria ac Damascus.
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Nga asroela pouk in kai tokosrai ma alu nu ke ma sruloala — ma sruloala ingan pus liki ma oasr Jerusalem ac Samaria.
As my hand has gotten to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their carved images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,
11 Nga kunausla tari acn Samaria ac ma sruloala nukewa we, ac nga ac oru oapana nu Jerusalem.”
Do I not—as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?”
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 it has come to pass, When the Lord fulfills all His work In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur, And concerning the glory of the height 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 worked by the power of my hand, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And I have spoiled their chief ones, And I put down the inhabitants as a mighty one,
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 gets to the wealth of the peoples as to a nest, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth, And there has not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.”
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.”
Does the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Does the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not 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.
Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Sends leanness among his fat ones, And under his glory He kindles a burning As the burning of a 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 has been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it has burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier 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 his fruitful field, He consumes from soul even to flesh, And it has been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.
19 Ac fah arulana supuseni sak, oru sie tulik srisrik ku in oakla nufon.
And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth writes them.
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 it has come to pass in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add anymore to lean on its striker, And have leaned on YHWH, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Mwet pu sin mwet Israel fah foloko nu yurin God Kulana lalos.
A remnant returns—a remnant of Jacob, 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 Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant of it returns, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.
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 a consumption that is determined, The Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.
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.
Therefore, thus said the Lord, YHWH of Hosts: “Do not be afraid, My people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, He strikes you with a rod, And his staff lifts up against you, in the way of Egypt.
25 In kitin pacl na nga ac aksafye kaiyuk luk nu suwos, na nga fah kunauselosla.
For yet a very little [while], And the indignation has been completed, And My anger by their wearing out.”
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 YHWH of Hosts is awaking for him, A scourge like the striking of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he has lifted it in 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 it has come to pass in that day, His burden is turned from off your shoulder, And his yoke from off your neck, And the yoke has been destroyed, because of prosperity.
28 Mwet lokoalok elos eisla siti lun Ai. Elos utyak sasla Migron! Elos filiya ap lalos Michmash!
He has come in against Aiath, He has passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looks after his vessels.
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 gone over the passage, They have made Geba a lodging place, Rama has trembled, Gibeah of Saul fled.
30 Mwet Gallim, kowos sasa! Mwet Laishah, kowos in lohng! Mwet Anathoth, kowos in topokla!
Cry aloud [with] your voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! Answer her, Anathoth.
31 Mwet Madmenah ac mwet Gebim elos kaing in suk moul lalos.
Madmenah has fled away, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.
32 Misenge mwet lokoalok elos sun siti Nob. Elos kolak paolos ac fisik nu ke Eol Zion, ac nu ke siti Jerusalem.
Yet today to remain in Nob, The mountain of the daughter of Zion waves its hand, 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 Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty have become 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 He has gone around the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon falls by a mighty one!
