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.

A message about Egypt. Look, the Lord is riding on a fast-moving cloud on his way to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble before Him, and the Egyptians will become weak with fear.

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.

I will encourage Egyptians to attack other Egyptians. They will fight each other, neighbor versus neighbor, town versus town, and kingdom versus 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.

I will destroy the confidence of the Egyptians. I will have their plans become all mixed up. They will ask their idols and the spirits of the dead what to do through mediums and spiritists.

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.”

I will hand the Egyptians over to a harsh dictator. A cruel king will rule over them, declares the Lord.

5 Kof ke Infacl Nile ac sriksrikeni nwe ke na mihnla.

The waters of the Nile will fail, and its riverbed will be sunbaked 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,

The channels will start to stink; the branches of the Nile in Egypt will dry to a trickle and dry up; the reeds and rushes will wither away.

7 ac fita, ac ma nukewa ma yukwiyuk pe Infacl Nile, fah paola ac ukukla.

The vegetation along the banks of the Nile, and all the plants in the cultivated land along the Nile, will dry up and be blown away. Everything will be gone.

8 Elos nukewa su patur ke Infacl Nile fah sasao ac tung. Ka ac kwa lalos ac wanginla sripa.

Fishermen will mourn: all of them all who use hooks to fish in the Nile will weep and wail, along with those who fish by throwing nets into the water.

9 Elos su orek nuknuk linen ac fah wanginla finsrak lalos.

The workers who prepare the flax for linen and the weavers of white fabric will be in despair.

10 Mwet otwot ac mwet pah in orala ma usrnguk ac fosrngala ac supwarlana.

The cloth workers will be depressed, and everyone who earns a wage will feel sick inside.

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 Zoan are stupid. Pharaoh's wise counselors give advice that doesn't make sense. How can you tell Pharaoh, “I myself am a wise man, descended from ancient kings”?

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.

So where are your wise counselors? Let them tell you so you can understand what the Lord Almighty has planned to do to 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 Zoan have become stupid; the leaders of Memphis have been fooled; the important leaders of Egypt have misled their 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 up a spirit of confusion for them to drink, making the Egyptians stagger around in everything they do, like a drunk slipping up on his own vomit.

15 Wangin sie mwet fulat ku pusisel, kasrup ku sukasrup, in fahl Egypt su ku in kasru mutunfacl sac.

Nobody in Egypt can do anything, whoever they are—head or tail, palm tree or reed.

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.

At that time the Egyptians will become like women. They will shake with fear when the Lord Almighty raises his arm against 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.

The land of Judah will be a source of terror to Egypt for whenever Judah is mentioned, all Egyptians will tremble over what the Lord Almighty has planned to do to 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.”

At that time there will be five cities in Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and who have sworn to worship the Lord Almighty. One of them 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.

At that time there will be an altar to the Lord right in the middle of Egypt, and a stone monument to the Lord on its border.

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 will be a sign and a witness to the presence of the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord for help because they are being oppressed, he will send them a savior to fight for them and to rescue 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.

The Lord will make himself known to Egypt, and at that time Egypt will come to know the Lord. They will worship him with sacrifices and offerings; they will make promises to the Lord and keep 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.

The Lord will inflict a plague on Egypt. He will do this, but he will heal them. They will come back to the Lord. He will respond to their prayers and 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.

At that time there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians will go to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.

24 In pacl sacn, Israel ac fah wela pac Egypt ac Assyria, ac mutunfacl tolu inge ac fah mwe insewowo nu sin faclu nufon.

At that time Israel will be the third part of this alliance, joining with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing to the whole 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.”

The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt, my people, Assyria, the creation of my hands, and Israel, my special possession.”
