Isaiah 18

1 Layen nu roto ke infacl in acn Ethiopia, oasr sie facl lohngyuk pusren posohksok we.

Behold, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,

2 Mwet roso fulat elos kal tuku liki facl sac ke Infacl Nile fin oak okoalos orekla ke loa. Folokla nu yen suwos, kowos mwet utuk kas mulah! Us sap soko nu in facl suwos ma masrloeyukelik ke infacl puspis. Facl suwos yohk ac ku. Mwet we elos loeska ac fwel manolos, ac mutunfacl uh nufon sangeng selos.

That is sending ambassadors by sea, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters—Go, swift messengers, To a nation drawn out and peeled, To a people fearful from its beginning and onward, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled.

3 Kowos nukewa su muta faclu, kowos in lohng akwoya! Kowos in tawi flag in mweun se ma ac amacyak fin mangon eol uh! Porongo pusren mwe ukuk fin kasla!

All you inhabitants of the world, And you dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills you look, And at the blowing of a horn you hear.

4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Nga ac fah ngeti inkusrao me, ac misla oana usren fol ke faht uh, fol ke faht uh, ku oana sikyak lun aunfong ke pacl in kosrani.

For thus said YHWH to me: “I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

5 Meet liki orekeni grape uh, ke ros farengla nukewa putatla ac grape uh mwesrla, mwet lokoalok fah kunausla mwet Ethiopia — fisrasr oana ke sie mitmit ac pakela lah ke oa in grape uh.

For before harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then [One] has cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches He has turned aside, cut down.

6 Monin mwet mweun lalos ac fah sisila nun won ac kosro lemnak uh. In pacl fol won uh ac fah kang manolos, ac in pacl mihsrisr kosro lemnak uh ac kang manolos.”

They are left together to the ravenous bird of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And the ravenous bird has summered on them, And every beast of the earth winters on them.

7 Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet loeska ac fwel mano inge, su mutunfacl uh nufon sangeng se, elos ac us mwe sang lalos nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana liki facl yohk ac ku se inge ma masrloeyukelik ke infacl puspis. Elos ac fah tuku nu ke Eol Zion, yen mwet uh alu nu sin LEUM GOD Kulana we.

At that time a present is brought to YHWH of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning until now, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, To the place of the Name of YHWH of Hosts—Mount Zion!”
