Isaiah 22

1 Kas in fahkak inge ma ke Infahlfal in Aruruma. Mea sikyak inge? Efu ku mwet nukewa in siti uh fanyak nu fin lohm selos uh?

THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?

2 Siti nufon se inge ngisyak, oayapa wohnak ke pusren engan. Mwet misa lowos elos tia anwuki ke elos mweun.

The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.

3 Mwet kol lowos nukewa kaing ac sruhu elos meet liki elos pisrik mwe pisr natulos.

All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.

4 Filiyula nga in mukena muta eoksra ke mwet luk nukewa su misa. Nimet srike in akwoyeyu.

Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.

5 Sie pacl in lofongla, musalsalu, ac fohsak lun Infahlfal in Aruruma pa inge, ac LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El supwama ma inge nu facsr. Pot ke siti sesr fokfoki nu infohk uh, ac pusren mwet su tung in suk kasru lohngyuk oe inmasrlon eol uh me.

For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.

6 Mwet mweun lun facl Elam elos utuk mwe pisr ac kasrusr tuku fin horse. Mwet mweun lun acn Kir elos akoela tari mwe loang lalos.

And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.

7 Infahlfal wolana lun Judah nwanala ke chariot; mwet kasrusr fin horse elos tu likin mutunpot lun Jerusalem.

And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.

8 Siti nukewa loangeyen acn Judah fukulyuki. Pacl se ma ingan sikyak ah, kowos tuh use kufwen mwe mweun liki acn ma oan we ah.

And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.

9 Kowos tuni pot lun Jerusalem in liye acn ma enenu in ononla, ac kowos karinganang kof ke lulu se ten ah.

And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city;

10 Kowos oakla lohm in acn Jerusalem, ac ikruiya kutu, na eis eot kac in sang akkeye pot uh.

and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.

11 Kowos tuh musai sie mwe neinyuk kof na lulap in siti uh, in nwanak kof ma sororma liki lulu in kof matu. Tusruktu kowos tiana lohang nu sin God su lumahla ma inge nukewa ke pacl loes somla, ac su oru in sikyak.

And you procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.

12 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El tuh pangon kowos in tung ac mwemelil, in mangsrasrala ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa.

And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:

13 Kowos tiana oru ma inge a kowos israsr ac orek kufwa. Kowos uniya sheep ac cow in kang, ac kowos numla wain. Kowos fahk, “Kut in mongo ac nimnim, pilani lutu kut ac misa.”

but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

14 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El sifacna kaskas nu sik ac fahk, “Ma koluk se inge ac tiana nunak munas nu selos ke lusenna moul lalos. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”

And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you die.

15 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El fahk nu sik nga in som nu yorol Shebna, mwet se ma liyaung inkul fulat sin tokosra, ac fahk nu sel,

Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?

16 “Mea kom oru ingan? Su lela nu sum in sifacna taflela kulyuk se lom in eot pe eol uh?

and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?

17 Sahp yohk sripom, tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac srukkomyak ac tolkomla.

Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,

18 El ac srukkomyak oana sie ball ac siskomla nu in sie facl lulap. Kom ac misa we sisken chariot ma kom arulana filangkin. Kom sie mwe mwekin nu sin mwet in lohm sin mwet kacto lom.

and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.

19 LEUM GOD El ac siskomla liki orekma fulat lom, ac eisla wal fulat lom.”

And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.

20 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Shebna, “Ke pacl ma ingan ac sikyak, nga ac sapla nu sin mwet kulansap luk, Eliakim wen natul Hilkiah.

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:

21 Nga fah nokmulang ke nuknuk oa ac mwe lohl lun leum, ac sang wal ac ku nukewa lom nu sel. El ac fah oana sie papa nu sin mwet Jerusalem ac mwet Judah.

and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.

22 Nga fah sang ku nukewa nu sel yal tokosra, su fwilin tulik natul David. Key nu ke acn fulat nukewa fah oan sel. Ma nukewa el ikasla wangin mwet fah kaliya, ac ma nukewa el kaliya wangin sie fah ikasla.

And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him the key of the house of David [upon] his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.

23 Nga fah kaskilya in arulana ku, oana soko kwi osra sruokyen lohm nuknuk, na ke sripal sou lal nufon ac fah sunakinyuk.

And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.

24 “Tusruktu sou lal ac mwet ma el karingin ac fah mwe elya nu sel. Elos ac sripsripyak kacl oana tup ac pol sripsrip ke osra in sripsrip!

And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.

25 Pacl se ma inge ac sikyak, osra in sripsrip soko ah ac tufwacla ac putatla. Na ac tufah pa ingan saflaiyen ma nukewa ma sripsrip kac.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
