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, Jehovah emptieth and draineth the land; Yea, he turneth it upside down, and scattereth 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.
As with the people, so is it with the priest; As with the servant, so with the master; As with the maid, so with the mistress; As with the buyer, so with the seller; As with the borrower, so with the lender; As with the usurer, so with the giver of usury.
3 Faclu ac fah sikiyukla ac mokutkuti. LEUM GOD pa fahk ouinge, na ac orek oana ma El fahk.
The land is utterly emptied and utterly plundered; For Jehovah hath spoken this word.
4 Faclu pulamlamla ac uli; faclu nufon ac munasla. Kewana faclu ac yen engyeng uh ac mwesri.
The land mourneth, and withereth; The world languisheth, and withereth; The nobles of the people of the land do languish.
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.
The land was polluted under its inhabitants, Because they transgressed the law, they violated the statutes, They broke the everlasting covenant.
6 Ouinge God El selngawi faclu. Mwet faclu elos eis mwatan orekma lalos. Pueni na mwet moul lula.
Therefore a curse devoured the land; Its inhabitants suffered for their guilt; Therefore are the inhabitants of the land consumed with heat, And few of the men are left.
7 Ima in grape uh mwella, ac fahsr in lisr wain uh. Elos nukewa su engan meet, inge elos asor.
The new wine mourneth; The vine languisheth; All that were of a joyful heart do sigh;
8 Wanginla pusren on kato ke harp ac drum.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth; The noise of them that rejoice is at an end; The joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Wanginla on ac engan ke wain; emah uh mwen selos.
No more do they drink wine with the song; Strong drink is bitter to them that use it.
10 Ma nukewa fohsak in siti uh, ac lohm nukewa lakiyuki, mwet koluk in tia utyak.
The city of desolation is broken down; Every house is closed, so that none can enter.
11 Mwet uh wowo fin inkanek uh ke sripen wanginla wain. Engan ac pwar wanginla na pwaye liki facl se inge.
There is a cry for wine in the streets; All gladness is departed; The mirth of the land is gone;
12 Siti uh musalla, ac mutunpot we kunausyukla.
Desolation is left in the city, And the gate is smitten into ruins.
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.
Yea, thus shall it be in the land, in the midst of the people, As when the olive-tree has been shaken; As the gleaning, when the vintage is 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 shall lift up their voice, and sing; Yea, for the majesty of Jehovah they shall shout from the sea.
15 ac elos su muta in mutunfacl kutulap fah kaksakunul. Mwet su muta wekof uh fah kaksakin LEUM GOD lun Israel.
Wherefore praise ye Jehovah in the East, The name of Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the isles 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 end of the earth we hear songs: “Glory to the righteous!” But I cry, Alas, my wretchedness, my wretchedness! woe is me! The plunderers plunder; the plunderers seize the spoil.
17 Porongeyu, mwet nukewa! Mwe aksangeng, luf loal, ac sruhf oan soanekowos.
The terror, the pit, and the snare Are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land!
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.
Whoso fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit, And whoso escapeth from the pit, He shall be taken in the snare; For the floodgates of heaven are opened, And the foundations of the earth tremble.
19 Faclu fah srasrelik ac muliplipi, ac ikakelik.
The earth is utterly broken down; The earth is shattered in pieces; The earth is violently moved from her place.
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 reeleth like a drunkard, It moveth to and fro like a hammock; For her iniquity lieth heavy upon her, And she shall fall and rise no more.
21 Pacl se ac tuku ke LEUM GOD El ac kalyei ku lun acn lucng, ac mwet kol lun faclu.
In that day will Jehovah punish the host of the high ones that are on high, And the kings of the earth upon the earth.
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.
They shall be thrown together bound into the pit, And shall be shut up in the prison, But after many days shall they 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.
The moon shall be confounded and the sun ashamed, When Jehovah of hosts shall reign in mount Zion and Jerusalem, And his glory shall be before his ancients.
