Isaiah 10
1 We nu suwos! Kowos orek ma sap sesuwos ma akkeokye mwet luk.
Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
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.
To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
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 ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye 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.
Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Assyria! Nga orekmakin Assyria oana sak in anwuk soko in kaelos su nga kasrkusrak se.
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
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.”
Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of the streets.
7 Tusruktu oasr ako yohk lun tokosra fulat lun Assyria sifacna, in kunausla mutunfacl puspis.
But he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
8 El konkin ac fahk, “Mwet kol fulat luk nukewa ke mweun elos tokosra!
For he saith, “Are not my princes 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 hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 Nga kunausla tari acn Samaria ac ma sruloala nukewa we, ac nga ac oru oapana nu Jerusalem.”
Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images.”
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.”
But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty 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 hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
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!”
The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped.”
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.”
Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that 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.
Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like 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.
The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers 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.
The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
19 Ac fah arulana supuseni sak, oru sie tulik srisrik ku in oakla nufon.
The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may 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.
In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 Mwet pu sin mwet Israel fah foloko nu yurin God Kulana lalos.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
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 thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow 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 devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole 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.
Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of Egypt;
25 In kitin pacl na nga ac aksafye kaiyuk luk nu suwos, na nga fah kunauselosla.
But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
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.
Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
27 In pacl sacn, nga ac tulekowosla liki ku lun mwet Assyria, ac srenenu lalos ac fah tia sifilpa toasr nu finpisowos.”
In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
28 Mwet lokoalok elos eisla siti lun Ai. Elos utyak sasla Migron! Elos filiya ap lalos Michmash!
He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
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 pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
30 Mwet Gallim, kowos sasa! Mwet Laishah, kowos in lohng! Mwet Anathoth, kowos in topokla!
Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
31 Mwet Madmenah ac mwet Gebim elos kaing in suk moul lalos.
Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
32 Misenge mwet lokoalok elos sun siti Nob. Elos kolak paolos ac fisik nu ke Eol Zion, ac nu ke siti Jerusalem.
Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake his hand against the mount 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.
But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall 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!
He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
