Isaiah 14
1 LEUM GOD El ac sifilpa pakoten nu sin mwet Israel, ac sifil sulelosla in mwet lal sifacna. El ac fah lela elos in sifilpa muta in facl selos, ac mwet in mutunfacl saya ac fah tuku ac muta yorolos we.
For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob; once again He will choose Israel and settle them in their own land. The foreigner will join them and unite with the house of Jacob.
2 Mutunfacl puspis fah kasru mwet Israel in folok nu in facl se LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu selos, ac mutunfacl inge ac fah mwet kohs in kulansupu mwet Israel. Elos su tuh kutangla Israel meet, ac fah kutangyukla sin Israel, ac mwet Israel ac fah leum faclos su akkeokyalos meet.
The nations will escort Israel and bring it to its homeland. Then the house of Israel will possess the nations as menservants and maidservants in the LORD’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
3 LEUM GOD El ac fah sang nu sin mwet Israel mongla liki ngal ac keok lalos, ac liki orekma upa ma akkohsyeyuk elos in oru.
On the day that the LORD gives you rest from your pain and torment, and from the hard labor into which you were forced,
4 Ke El ac oru ma inge El mu elos in aksruksrukye tokosra Babylon ac fahk: “Tokosra sulallal sac el ikori! El ac tia sifilpa akkeokye kutena mwet!
you will sing this song of contempt against the king of Babylon: How the oppressor has ceased, and how his fury has ended!
5 LEUM GOD El sisla ku lun mwet kol koluk,
The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, the scepter of the rulers.
6 su nuna kasrkusrak ac akkohsye mwet uh, ac tiana tui in kalyei mutunfacl ma elos kutangla.
It struck the peoples in anger with unceasing blows; it subdued the nations in rage with relentless persecution.
7 Inge faclu nufon muta in mongla ac misla, ac mwet nukewa wowoyak on ke engan.
All the earth is at peace and at rest; they break out in song.
8 Sak fir ac sak cedar in acn Lebanon wi enganak ke sripen tokosra sac wanginla, ouinge wanginla mwet ac sifil pakelosi!
Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: “Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.”
9 “Facl lun mwet misa akola in paing tokosra Babylon. Inut lalos su tuh oasr ku yoro fin faclu elos mukuikuiyak. Ngunin tokosra ma misa elos tukakek liki tron lalos. (Sheol h7585)
Sheol beneath is eager to meet you upon your arrival. It stirs the spirits of the dead to greet you— all the rulers of the earth. It makes all the kings of the nations rise from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
10 Elos nukewa pang nu sel ac fahk, ‘Inge kom munas oana kut! Kom sie sesr!
They will all respond to you, saying, “You too have become weak, as we are; you have become like us!”
11 Kom tuh akfulatyeyuk ke pusren on ke harp, tusruktu inge kom oasr in facl sin mwet misa. Ulac uh pa mwe oan kiom, ac kaot lom pa wet.’” (Sheol h7585)
Your pomp has been brought down to Sheol, along with the music of your harps. Maggots are your bed and worms your blanket. (Sheol h7585)
12 O kom su itu in lotutang, kom putatla liki inkusrao! In pacl meet ah kom kutangla mutunfacl puspis, a inge sisila kom nu infohk uh.
How you have fallen from heaven, O day star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations.
13 Kom tuh nunku kom in fanyak nu inkusrao ac likiya tron lom lucng liki itu ma fulat oemeet. Kom tuh nunku mu kom ac muta oana tokosra se fineol soko in acn epang, yen god uh toeni we.
You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north.
14 Kom tuh fahk mu kom ac fanyak nu lucng fin pukunyeng uh, in oana El su Kulana.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”
But you will be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
16 Mwet misa fah mangelik ac suikomi. Elos ac siyuk, “Ya pa inge mwet se ma osrokak faclu ac oru tokosrai uh rarrar?
Those who see you will stare; they will ponder your fate: “Is this the man who shook the earth and made the kingdoms tremble,
17 Ya pa inge mwet se su kunausla siti puspis ac ekulla faclu nu ke sie acn mwesis? Ya pa inge mwet se su tiana aksukosokye mwet kohs lal, ku fuhlelosla in folok nu yen selos?”
who turned the world into a desert and destroyed its cities, who refused to let the captives return to their homes?”
18 Tokosra nukewa lun faclu elos oan in kulyuk kato lalos,
All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.
19 a wangin kulyuk lom, ac mano misa lom sisila in oan kulawi. Afyufi ke monin mwet anwuki ke mweun, ac welulos na sisila nu in sie laf loal inmasrlon eot uh ma mwet uh lolongya.
But you are cast out of your grave like a rejected branch, covered by those slain with the sword, and dumped into a rocky pit like a carcass trampled underfoot.
20 Mweyen kom kunausla facl sum ac onela mwet lom sifacna, kom ac fah tia pukpuki oana tokosra ngia. Wangin sin sou koluk lom ac fah esamyuk.
You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.
21 Lela akmas uh in mutawauk! Wen nukewa nutin tokosra se inge fah misa ke sripen ma koluk lun mwet matu lalos. Wangin selos ac leumi faclu ku musaela siti puspis fac.
Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.
22 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga ac fah mweuni acn Babylon ac arulana kunausla acn we. Nga ac fah tia likiya kutena ma in oan we — wangin siefanna mwet ac painmoulla, finne tulik ku mwet matu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
“I will rise up against them,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will cut off from Babylon her name and her remnant, her offspring and her posterity,”
23 Nga fah ekulla acn Babylon nu ke sie acn furarrar, ac won owl ac fah muta we. Nga fah imonla acn we ke sie burum su ac burumela ma nukewa. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
“I will make her a place for owls and for swamplands; I will sweep her away with the broom of destruction,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
24 LEUM GOD Kulana El oru sie wulela ku ac fahk: “Ma nga lumahla tari fah sikyak. Ma nga nunkala in oru, ac fah orekla.
The LORD of Hosts has sworn: “Surely, as I have planned, so will it be; as I have purposed, so will it stand.
25 Nga ac kunausla mwet Assyria in facl sik Israel, ac longolosi fineol sik. Nga ac tulala mwet luk liki mwe utuk toasr lun mwet Assyria, ac liki ma upa elos enenu in polong.
I will break Assyria in My land; I will trample him on My mountain. His yoke will be taken off My people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.”
26 Pa inge lemlem luk nu ke faclu, ac nga asroela pouk in kalyei mutunfacl puspis.”
This is the plan devised for the whole earth, and this is the hand stretched out over all the nations.
27 LEUM GOD Kulana El wotela tari in oru ouinge. El asroela paol in kalyei, ac wangin sie ku in ikolilya.
The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?
28 Pa inge kas in fahkak ma fwackelik ke yac se Tokosra Ahaz el misa.
In the year that King Ahaz died, this burden was received:
29 Mwet Philistia, sak in sringsring soko ma sang uni kowos kaptelik, tusruktu wangin sripa kowos in engan. Ke soko wet ac misa, soko pacna wet ac tuku koluk lukel. Sie atro lun soko wet ac sawulla soko dragon sohksok.
Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken. For a viper will spring from the root of the snake, and a flying serpent from its egg.
30 LEUM GOD El ac fah kite mwet sukasrup inmasrlon mwet lal, ac El ac oru elos in muta in misla. Tusruktu El ac supwama sie sracl na upa nu fowos mwet Philistia, ac El ac fah tia lela kutena suwos in moulla kac.
Then the firstborn of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety, but I will kill your root by famine, and your remnant will be slain.
31 Siti nukewa in acn Philistia, kowos in wowoyak tung ac suk kasru. Kowos nukewa in sangeng ac rarrar! Sie pukun kutkut pa tuku epang me — sie un mwet mweun su wangin mwet sangengtot inmasrlolos.
Wail, O gate! Cry out, O city! Melt away, all you Philistines! For a cloud of smoke comes from the north, and there are no stragglers in its ranks.
32 Kut ac topuk fuka mwet utuk kas ma tuku Philistia me nu yorosr? Kut ac fahkang nu selos lah LEUM GOD El musaeak Zion, ac mwet lal su akkeokyeyuk fah konauk moul misla we.
What answer will be given to the envoys of that nation? “The LORD has founded Zion, where His afflicted people will find refuge.”
