Isaiah 23
1 Kas in fahkak inge ma ke acn Tyre. Wowoyak ac asor, kowos mwet kalkal fin meoa! Acn suwos, Tyre, kunausyukla; lohm we ac molsron we wanginla. Ke oak okowos ac foloko liki acn Cyprus, kowos ac fah lohng pweng kac.
The burden of Tyre. Howl, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.
2 Kowos in tung mwemelil, kowos mwet kuka lun Sidon! Kowos supu mwet
Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, you whom the merchants of Sidon that pass over the sea have replenished.
3 in tupalla meoa in moli ac kukakin wheat ma kap ke acn Shihor sisken infacl Nile in acn Egypt, ac in oru inkanek in kuka lalos yurin mutunfacl puspis.
On great waters, the seed of the Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue. She was the market of nations.
4 Siti Sidon, kom akmwekinyeyukla! Meoa ac acn loallana meoa siskomla ac fahk, “Wanginna tulik nga oswela. Nga soenna tufahla wen ku acn.”
Be ashamed, Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, “I have not travailed, nor given birth, neither have I nourished young men, nor brought up virgins.”
5 Finne mwet Egypt elos ac fah lut ac oela pacl se elos lohng lah kunausyukla acn Tyre.
When the report comes to Egypt, they will be in anguish at the report of Tyre.
6 Mwet Phoenicia, kowos in wowoyak ac tung! Srike in kaing nu Tarshish!
Pass over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coast!
7 Mea pwaye lah pa inge Tyre, siti na pwar se ma musaiyukla ke pacl na loes somla? Ya pa inge siti se ma supwala mwet in tupalla meoa ac eis acn ingo tuh in acn selos?
Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days, whose feet carried her far away to travel?
8 Su lumahla tuh mwe ongoiya inge nukewa in sikyak nu fin acn Tyre, siti fulat sac, su mwet kuka we elos fisrak ac akfulatyeyuk emeet fin faclu?
Who has planned this against Tyre, the giver of crowns, whose merchants are princes, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?
9 LEUM GOD Kulana pa lumahla. El oru in tulokinya filang lalos ke ma elos orala, ac in aktonongyala mwet fulat lalos.
The LORD of Hosts has planned it, to stain the pride of all glory, to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.
10 Fahla ac orek ima, kowos mwet Tyre su muta in acn Tarshish! Wangin sie ac fah sifil loangekowos.
Pass through your land like the Nile, daughter of Tarshish. There is no restraint any more.
11 LEUM GOD El asroela paol fin meoa ac kutangla tokosrai uh. El sap tuh pot ku lun Phoenicia in kunausyukla.
He has stretched out his hand over the sea. He has shaken the kingdoms. The LORD has ordered the destruction of Canaan’s strongholds.
12 Siti Sidon, insewowo lom safla, ac mwet lom akkeokyeyuk. Elos finne kaing nu Cyprus, elos ac tiana konauk misla we.
He said, “You shall rejoice no more, you oppressed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim. Even there you will have no rest.”
13 (Tia mwet Assyria pa oru kosro lemnak uh in utyak ac nwakla acn Tyre, a mwet Babylonia. Mwet Babylonia pa tulokunak nien fan sisken pot we, ac fukulya acn ku lun Tyre, ac sisla in oan musalla.)
Behold, the land of the Kasdim. This people didn’t exist. The Assyrians founded it for those who dwell in the wilderness. They set up their towers. They overthrew its palaces. They made it a ruin.
14 Wowoyak ac asor, kowos mwet kalkal meoa uh! Kunausyukla siti se ma kowos kukin.
Howl, you ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste!
15 Pacl se ac tuku ke acn Tyre ac mulkinyukla ke yac itngoul, lusenna moul lun sie tokosra. Ke ac safla yac inge, acn Tyre ac fah oana mutan kosro se ke on soko ma fahk mu:
It will come to pass in that day that Tyre will be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. After the end of seventy years it will be to Tyre like in the song of the prostitute.
16 Kom, mutan kosro se ma mulkinyukla, Eis harp nutum ac forfor in siti uh! Srital ac sifilpa onkakin on lom In sifil esamyukyak kom.
Take a harp; go about the city, you prostitute that has been forgotten. Make sweet melody. Sing many songs, that you may be remembered.
17 Ke yac itngoul ac safla, LEUM GOD El ac lela Tyre in folokla nu ke inkanek in kuka matu lal, ac el ac fah kukakunulla sifacna nu sin tokosrai nukewa lun faclu.
It will happen after the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre. She will return to her wages, and will play the prostitute with all the kingdoms of the world on the surface of the earth.
18 Mani ma el sruokya ke kuka lal uh ac fah kisaiyukyang nu sin LEUM GOD. Acn Tyre ac fah tia elosak ma inge nu sel sifacna ku filiya in nien filma lal, a ac fah orekmakinyuk in kasrelos su lafwekunulosla nu sin LEUM GOD, in akfalye enenu lalos ke mwe mongo ac nuknuk lalos.
Her merchandise and her wages will be holiness to the LORD. It will not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise will be for those who dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
