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 burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2 Siti nufon se inge ngisyak, oayapa wohnak ke pusren engan. Mwet misa lowos elos tia anwuki ke elos mweun.
You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
3 Mwet kol lowos nukewa kaing ac sruhu elos meet liki elos pisrik mwe pisr natulos.
All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
4 Filiyula nga in mukena muta eoksra ke mwet luk nukewa su misa. Nimet srike in akwoyeyu.
Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labour to comfort me for the destruction 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 confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, GOD of Hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to 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.
Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Infahlfal wolana lun Judah nwanala ke chariot; mwet kasrusr fin horse elos tu likin mutunpot lun Jerusalem.
Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
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.
He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armour in the house of the forest.
9 Kowos tuni pot lun Jerusalem in liye acn ma enenu in ononla, ac kowos karinganang kof ke lulu se ten ah.
You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 Kowos oakla lohm in acn Jerusalem, ac ikruiya kutu, na eis eot kac in sang akkeye pot uh.
You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
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.
You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago.
12 LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana El tuh pangon kowos in tung ac mwemelil, in mangsrasrala ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa.
In that day, the Lord, GOD of Hosts, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in 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.”
and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will 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.”
The LORD of Hosts revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, GOD of Hosts.
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,
The Lord, GOD of Hosts says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16 “Mea kom oru ingan? Su lela nu sum in sifacna taflela kulyuk se lom in eot pe eol uh?
‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiselling a habitation for himself in the rock!”
17 Sahp yohk sripom, tusruktu LEUM GOD El ac srukkomyak ac tolkomla.
Behold, the LORD will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
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.
He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house.
19 LEUM GOD El ac siskomla liki orekma fulat lom, ac eisla wal fulat lom.”
I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
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.
It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
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 clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
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.
I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23 Nga fah kaskilya in arulana ku, oana soko kwi osra sruokyen lohm nuknuk, na ke sripal sou lal nufon ac fah sunakinyuk.
I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to 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!
They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
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.
“In that day,” says the LORD of Hosts, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken it.”
