Isaiah 16
1 Mwet Moab su muta in acn mwesis in siti Sela, elos supwala soko sheep fusr in mwe lung nu sin mwet se su leum in acn Jerusalem.
Send ye the lambs to the ruler of the land, From Selah through the wilderness To the mount of the daughter of Zion!
2 Elos muta soano pe Infacl Arnon, ac foroht forma oana won su lillilyak liki ahng lalos.
For as a wandering bird, As a forthdriven nest, So shall be the daughters of Moab At the fords of Arnon; [[saying, ]]
3 Elos fahk nu sin mwet Judah, “Fahk nu sesr lah mea kut ac oru. Loangekutla oana soko sak su luliya acn uh in pacl fol ke infulwen len, ac lela kut in mongla ye lulin karinginyuk lowos. Kut mwet kakaing. Wikinkutla yen wangin mwet ac konekutyak we.
“Offer counsel; give decision, Make thy shadow at noonday like the darkness of night. Hide the outcasts; Betray not the fugitives.
4 Lela kut in muta in acn suwos. Molikutla liki mwet su kena unikutla.” (Mwe akkeok ac kunausten ac fah tui, ac mwet ma kunausla facl se inge ac fah som.
Let my outcasts dwell with thee, [[O Zion!]] Be thou to them a covert from the spoiler! For the extortion is at an end, The spoiling ceaseth. The oppressors are consumed from the land.
5 In pacl sacn, sie sin fwilin tulik natul David ac fah tokosra, ac el ac fah kol mwet uh ke inse pwaye ac ke lungse. El ac fah sa na in oru ma pwaye, ac el ac liye tuh nununku suwohs in orek.)
Then shall your throne be established through mercy, And upon it shall sit in the house of David A judge searching for justice, and prompt in equity.”
6 Mwet Judah elos fahk, “Kut lohng tari ke luman inse fulat lun mwet Moab uh. Kut etu lah elos enum ac ngetnget lucng, tusruktu konkin lalos uh wangin sripa.”
“We have beard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; His haughtiness, and his pride, and his insolence, His vain boastings.”
7 Mwet Moab ac fah tung ke sripen mwe keok nu selos. Elos nukewa ac fah tung ke elos ac esamak mongo yuyu ma elos tuh kang in acn Kir Heres. Ac fah wanginla finsrak lalos.
Therefore shall Moab howl for Moab; Every one shall howl; For the ruins of Kir-hares shall ye mourn, In deep affliction.
8 Ima ma apkuran nu Heshbon ac ima in grape lun acn Sibmah kunausyukla. Wain ke ima in grape inge pa tuh oru mwet leum lun mutunfaclu sruhila. Sie pacl ah, lah ke ima inge lahelik nwe sun acn Jazer, ac som nu layen kutulap in acn mwesis, oayapa nu roto layeno liki Meoa Misa.
For the fields of Heshbon languish, The lords of the nations break down the choicest shoots of the vine of Sibmah, They reached even to Jazer; they wandered into the desert; Her branches were spread out; they crossed the sea.
9 Inge nga tungi ima lun acn Sibmah oana ke nga tungi acn Jazer. Sroninmutuk sororla ke acn Heshbon ac Elealeh, mweyen wangin kosrani in oru mwet we in engan.
Therefore I will weep, like Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealah, For upon thy summer fruits, and thy harvest, the war-shout is fallen.
10 Wanginla mwet engan pacl inge in ima wowo uh. Wanginla mwet sasa, ku on in ima in grape lalos. Wangin mwet fut grape mwe orek wain. Pusren sasa ke engan wanginla.
Gladness and joy are driven from the fruitful field, And in the vineyards is no singing nor shouting; The treaders tread out no wine in their vats; I have made the vintage-shouting to cease.
11 Nga sasao ke acn Moab, ac yohk asor luk ke acn Kir Heres.
Therefore shall my bowels sound like a harp for Moab, And my inward parts for Kir-hares.
12 Mwet Moab elos arulana totola in som nu fineol ac nu ke acn in alu lalos in pre, a wangin sripen ma elos oru inge.
And it shall come to pass that though Moab present himself, Though he weary himself upon his high places, And go up to his sanctuary to pray, Yet shall he not prevail.
13 Pa inge kas ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke acn Moab in pacl meet ah.
This is the word which Jehovah spake concerning Moab of old.
14 Na inge LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oana ke sie mwet orekma ke mwe moul el tari ke safla yac in orekma lal uh, ouinge ke yac tolu na fal, kasrup lulap lun Moab ac wanginla. Inmasrlon mwet puspis we, mwet na pu fah moulla, ac elos ac fah arulana munas.”
But now saith Jehovah: Within three years, like the years of a hireling, The glory of Moab shall be put to shame, With all his great multitude; And the remnant shall be very small, and without strength.
