Isaiah 19
1 Kas in fahkak inge ma ke acn Egypt. LEUM GOD El ac tuku nu Egypt fin sie pukunyeng na mui. Ma sruloala in acn Egypt rarrar ye mutal, ac insien mwet Egypt uh munasla.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord will ascend upon a lofty cloud, and he will enter into Egypt, and the false images of Egypt will be moved before his face, and the heart of Egypt will waste away in its midst.
2 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah purakak mweun inmasrlon mwet Egypt Sifacna — tamulel ac fah lain tamulel, ac mwet tulan lain mwet tulan. Siti we ac fah alein sie sin sie, ac tokosra su alein ac fah amei in sukok lah su kac ac kol.
And I will cause Egyptian to rush against Egyptian. And they will fight: a man against his brother, and a man against his friend, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 Nga ac fah akfohsyauk pwapa lun mwet Egypt ac oru in wanginla finsrak lalos. Elos ac fah siyuk kasru sin ma sruloala lalos, ac lolngok yurin mwet inutnut ac siyuk kasru sin ngunin mwet misa.
And the spirit of Egypt will be ruptured to its very core. And I will cast down their plan violently. And they will seek answers from their false images, and their diviners, and those led by demons, and their seers.
4 Nga ac fah asang mwet Egypt nu inpoun sie tokosra sulallal ac koluk, su ac fah leum faclos. Nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
And I will deliver Egypt into the hand of cruel masters, and a strong king will dominate them, says the Lord, the God of hosts.
5 Kof ke Infacl Nile ac sriksrikeni nwe ke na mihnla.
And the waters of the sea will dry up, and the river will be desolate and dry.
6 Acn ma kof tuh soror we meet ac mwesia nwe ke kolukla fohlo. Loa ac mah ma kap pe infacl uh ac fah masla,
And the rivers will fail. The streams of its banks will diminish and dry up. The reed and the bulrush will wither away.
7 ac fita, ac ma nukewa ma yukwiyuk pe Infacl Nile, fah paola ac ukukla.
The channel of the river will be stripped down to its source, and everything irrigated by it will dry up and wither and be no more.
8 Elos nukewa su patur ke Infacl Nile fah sasao ac tung. Ka ac kwa lalos ac wanginla sripa.
And the fishermen will grieve. And all who cast a hook into the river will mourn. And those who cast a net upon the surface of its waters will languish.
9 Elos su orek nuknuk linen ac fah wanginla finsrak lalos.
Those who work with linen, combing and weaving fine textiles, will be confounded.
10 Mwet otwot ac mwet pah in orala ma usrnguk ac fosrngala ac supwarlana.
And its irrigated places will begin to fail, with all those who make pools to take fish.
11 Mwet kol lun Siti Zoan elos lalfon! Mukul ma arulana lalmwetmet in acn Egypt elos sang kas in kasru na sutuu ac lalfon! Elos ac fahk fuka nu sin tokosra lah elos ma in sou lun mwet luti fulat ac tokosra lun pacl meet ah?
The leaders of Tanis are foolish. The wise counselors of Pharaoh have given foolish counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh: “I am the son of wise men, the son of the kings of antiquity?”
12 Tokosra Egypt, pia mwet kasru lalmwetmet lom uh? Sahp elos ac ku in fahk nu sum ma LEUM GOD Kulana El akoo in oru nu in facl Egypt.
Where are your wise men now? Let them announce it to you, and let them reveal what the Lord of hosts intends for Egypt.
13 Mwet pwapa fulat lun siti Zoan ac Memphis elos lalfon. Fal in elos pa kol mutunfacl se inge, a elos sang kas in kasru na sutuu.
The leaders of Tanis have become foolish. The leaders of Memphis have decayed. They have deceived Egypt, the corner of its people.
14 LEUM GOD El oru tuh kas in kasru lalos in akfohsyeak mwet uh. Ke sripa inge, ma nukewa Egypt el oru tafongla. Elos tukulkul oana sie mwet sruhi su musrela fin woht lal sifacna.
The Lord has mixed a spirit of giddiness into its midst. And they have caused Egypt to err in all its works, like a drunken man who staggers and vomits.
15 Wangin sie mwet fulat ku pusisel, kasrup ku sukasrup, in fahl Egypt su ku in kasru mutunfacl sac.
And there will be no work for Egypt that would produce a head or a tail, one who bows down or one who refrains from bowing down.
16 Oasr pacl se ac tuku ke mwet Egypt ac fah sangengtot oana mutan uh. Elos ac rarrar ke tuninfong pacl se ke elos liye lah LEUM GOD Kulana El asroela paol in kaelos.
In that day, Egypt will be like women, and they will be stupefied and fearful before the presence of the shaking hand of the Lord of hosts, the hand which he will move over them.
17 Mwet Egypt ac fah arulana sangeng sin mwet Judah ke pacl nukewa elos ac esamak mwe ongoiya ma LEUM GOD Kulana El akoo nu selos.
And the land of Judah will be a dread to Egypt. Everyone who thinks about it will be terrified before the presence of the plan of the Lord of hosts, the plan which he has decided concerning them.
18 Ke pacl sac ac tuku, kas Hebrew ac fah orekmakinyuk in siti limekosr in acn Egypt. Mwet we ac fah oru fulahk lalos Inen LEUM GOD Kulana. Sie sin siti inge ac fah pangpang, “Siti lun Faht.”
In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language of Canaan, and which swear by the Lord of hosts. One will be called the City of the Sun.
19 Ke pacl sac ac tuku, ac fah oasr sie loang nu sin LEUM GOD in acn Egypt, ac soko sru eot ac kisakinyuk nu sel ke masrol se siska nu kutulap in acn Egypt.
In that day, there will be an altar of the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt and a monument of the Lord beside its borders.
20 Ma inge ac fah sie mwe akul lah LEUM GOD El oasr in facl Egypt. Kutena pacl mwet we elos akkeokyeyuk ac elos pang nu sin LEUM GOD in kasrelos, El ac supwala sie mwet in molelosla.
This shall be a sign and a testimony to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. For they will cry out to the Lord before the face of the tribulation, and he will send them a savior and a defender who will free them.
21 LEUM GOD El ac fahkulak sifacna nu sin mwet Egypt, ac elos fah etal ac alu nu sel, ac us mwe kisa ac mwe sang nu sel. Elos fah orek wulela ku nu sel, ac oru oana ma elos wulela kac.
And the Lord will be acknowledged by Egypt, and the Egyptians will recognize the Lord in that day, and they will worship him with sacrifices and gifts. And they will make vows to the Lord, and they will fulfill them.
22 LEUM GOD El fah kalyei mwet Egypt, tusruktu El ac fah akkeyalosla. Elos ac forla nu sel, ac El fah lohng pre lalos ac akkeyalos.
And the Lord will strike Egypt with a scourge, and he will heal them. And they will return to the Lord. And he will be placated toward them, and he will heal them.
23 Ke pacl sacn ac tuku, ac fah oasr soko inkanek lulap inmasrlon acn Egypt ac Assyria. Mwet uh ac fufahsryesr inmasrlon facl luo inge, ac elos fah tukeni alu.
In that day, there will be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrian will enter into Egypt, and the Egyptian will be with the Assyrians, and the Egyptians will serve Assur.
24 In pacl sacn, Israel ac fah wela pac Egypt ac Assyria, ac mutunfacl tolu inge ac fah mwe insewowo nu sin faclu nufon.
In that day, will Israel be the third to the Egyptian and the Assyrian, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
25 LEUM GOD Kulana El fah akinsewowoyalos ac fahk, “Nga fah akinsewowoye kom, Egypt, mwet luk; ac kom, Assyria, su nga orala; ac kom, Israel, mwet solla luk.”
which the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying: Blessed be my people of Egypt, and the work of my hands for the Assyrian, but Israel is my inheritance.
