Isaiah 24
1 LEUM GOD El ac fah kunausla faclu ac filiya in wanginla ma oan fac. El ac furalik fin acn uh ac akfahsryelik mwet fac.
Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
2 Mwet nukewa fah pulakin kain in ongoiya sefanna — mwet tol ac mwet uh, mwet kohs ac mwet kacto, mwet kuka ac mwet moli, mwet ngusr mani ac mwet sang mani, mwet kasrup ac mwet sukasrup.
And this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 Faclu ac fah sikiyukla ac mokutkuti. LEUM GOD pa fahk ouinge, na ac orek oana ma El fahk.
The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 Faclu pulamlamla ac uli; faclu nufon ac munasla. Kewana faclu ac yen engyeng uh ac mwesri.
The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 Mwet uh aktaekyala faclu ke elos kunausla ma sap lun God, ac ke elos siakos wuleang se su El orala in oan nwe tok.
And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Ouinge God El selngawi faclu. Mwet faclu elos eis mwatan orekma lalos. Pueni na mwet moul lula.
Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 Ima in grape uh mwella, ac fahsr in lisr wain uh. Elos nukewa su engan meet, inge elos asor.
The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 Wanginla pusren on kato ke harp ac drum.
The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 Wanginla on ac engan ke wain; emah uh mwen selos.
They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Ma nukewa fohsak in siti uh, ac lohm nukewa lakiyuki, mwet koluk in tia utyak.
The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Mwet uh wowo fin inkanek uh ke sripen wanginla wain. Engan ac pwar wanginla na pwaye liki facl se inge.
There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Siti uh musalla, ac mutunpot we kunausyukla.
Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 Ac fah pa inge ma ac sikyak nu ke mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu. Ac fah oana ke safla pacl in kosrani — wanginla fahko ke sak olive, ac grape nukewa kinkinla.
For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Elos su painmoulla ac fah alullul ke engan. Elos su muta in mutunfacl roto ac fah fahk lupan fulatlana lun LEUM GOD,
These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 ac elos su muta in mutunfacl kutulap fah kaksakunul. Mwet su muta wekof uh fah kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
16 Liki acn loessulana faclu kut lohng pusren on in kaksakin God lun suwoswos. Tusruktu wangin finsrak luk! Foroti insiuk! Mwet kutasrik tia tui in orek kutasrik, ac sulallal lalos uh koluk liki na meet ah.
From the ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 Porongeyu, mwet nukewa! Mwe aksangeng, luf loal, ac sruhf oan soanekowos.
Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant of the earth!
18 Kutena mwet su srike in kaingla liki mwe aksangeng inge ac fah putatla nu in luf loal, ac kutena su kaingla liki luf sac ac fah sruoh ke sie sruhf. Af upa ac fah kahkla liki kusrao, ac pwelung lun faclu fah kusrusryak.
And this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 Faclu fah srasrelik ac muliplipi, ac ikakelik.
The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
20 Faclu sifacna fah tukulkul oana mwet sruhi se, wactot wactma oana sie lac lohm in sie paka. Faclu sringelik ke koluk la; ac fah ikori ac tiana sifil tuyak.
The earth will stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 Pacl se ac tuku ke LEUM GOD El ac kalyei ku lun acn lucng, ac mwet kol lun faclu.
And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 God El fah orani tokosra uh nu sie in iktokeni oana mwet kapir in sie luf loal. El fah kalelosi in presin nwe ke sun pacl in kalya nu selos.
And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 Malem ac fah lohsrla, ac faht ac fah tia sifil kalem, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah tokosra. El fah leum in Jerusalem fin Eol Zion, ac mwet kol lun mwet uh ac fah liye wolana lal.
And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
