Isaiah 29
1 We nu sin Jerusalem, Loang lun God! We nu sin siti se David el aktuktuk we! Kowos in oru na len in akfulat ac kufwa lowos uh, tusruktu tukun yac se ku luo,
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city of David's encampment! Add ye year to year; let the feasts come round.
2 na God El fah use ongoiya nu fin siti se su pangpang “Loang lun God.” Ac fah oasr tung ac tung tutaf, ac siti nufon sac ac fah oana sie loang afla ke srah.
But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.
3 God El ac kuhlusya siti sac, musaela nien fan we, ac mweuni ke siska nukewa.
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with watch-posts, and I will raise forts against thee.
4 Jerusalem el ac fah oana sie ngun su srike in kaskas ye fohk uh me, sie pusra kororak ye kutkut uh me.
And thou shalt be brought low, thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall come low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Jerusalem, mutunfacl sac nukewa su mweuni kom ac fah ukukla oana kutkut, ac un mwet mweun sulallal lalos fah sohkla oana mah pao. In kitin pacl na, ke wangin motkweya,
And the multitude of thine enemies shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; and it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
6 LEUM GOD Kulana El ac fah molikomla ke ku lulap lun paka ac kusrusr. El ac fah supwama pulahl, eng upa, ac e na lulap,
Thou shalt be visited by Jehovah of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 na un mwet mweun lun mutunfacl su mweuni siti se pangpang Loang lun God, fah wanginla oana sie mweme, oana sie aruruma ke fong. Aok, kufwen mwe mweun ac kufwen sroasr nukewa fah wanginla.
And the multitude of all the nations that war against Ariel, even all that war against her and her fortifications, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 Mutunfacl nukewa ma toeni in mweuni Jerusalem ac fah oana sie mwet masrinsral su mweme mu el mongo, ac ke el ngutalik el srakna masrinsral, ku oana sie mwet su arulana malu su mweme mu el nim kof, ac ke el ngutalik paola kapinsrulyal.
It shall even be as when the hungry dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; and he awaketh, and his soul is empty; or as when the thirsty dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth: so shall the multitude of all the nations be that war against mount Zion.
9 Oru na lalfon lowos an! Oru kowos in sulongintenna! Kowos in sruhila ac tukulkul finne wanginna wain ku mwe nim ku kowos eis!
Be astounded and astonished, blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 LEUM GOD El oru kowos in foroti, ac motul folosuwosla. Mwet palu pa atronmutun mwet uh, a God El lohsrala mutalos.
For Jehovah hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes; the prophets and your chiefs, the seers, hath he covered.
11 Kalmen aruruma nukewa mwet palu uh liye ac fah wikinyukla nu suwos — ac fah oana sie book limlim siliyuki. Kowos fin us nu sin sie mwet su etu rit ac siyuk sel elan riti nu suwos, el ac fahk mu el tia ku mweyen siliyuki.
And the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 Kowos fin sang nu sin sie mwet su nikin rit ac siyuk elan riti nu suwos, el ac topuk mu, “Nga nikin rit.”
And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.
13 Leum El fahk, “Mwet inge fahk mu elos alu nu sik, a kas lalos wangin kalmeya, ac insialos loesla likiyu. Wangin sripen alu lalos — elos fahsrna ke ma sap ac oakwuk ma orekla sin mwet, ma elos kaliya mukena.
And the Lord saith, Forasmuch as this people draw near with their mouth, and honour me with their lips, but their heart is removed far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment taught of men;
14 Ke ma inge nga fah aklutyalosyak ke kutu ma elos tiana motko mu ac ku in sikyak. Elos su lalmwetmet fah ekla lalfon, ac etu lalos nukewa fah wangin sripa.”
therefore, behold, I will proceed to do marvellously with this people, to do marvellously, even with wonder, and the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hid.
15 We nu selos su srike in okanla pwapa lalos liki LEUM GOD! Elos orala pwapa lalos in lukma ac nunku mu wangin sie fah liyalos ku etu ma elos oru.
Woe unto them that hide deep, far from Jehovah, their counsel! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Elos ekulla ma nukewa. Su kac yohk sripa uh: mwet orek ahlu ke kle, ku kle uh? Mwet se fin orala sie ma, ya ma se el orala uh ku in fahk nu sel, “Tia kom pa oreyula”? ku “Kom tia etu ma kom oru an”?
[Oh] your perverseness! — Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?
17 Oasr sie kas fahk mu, “Ac tia paht, sie insak matol ac fah ekla acn in ima, ac acn in ima fah ekla insak matol.”
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 In len sac, mwet sulohngkas ac fah ku in lohng ke sie book ac ritiyuk, ac mwet kun su muta in lohsr fah ikakla mutalos ac elos ku in liye.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and, out of obscurity and out of darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see;
19 LEUM GOD El ac aksasuye engan lun mwet pusisel, ac mwet sukasrup ac fah enganak sin El su mutal lun Israel.
and the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the needy among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Ac fah pa inge saflaiyen mwet su akkeokye mwet uh ac aklusrongtenya God. Mwet koluk nukewa ac fah kunausyukla.
For the terrible one shall come to nought, and the scorner shall be no more, and all that watch for iniquity shall be cut off,
21 God El ac kunausla mwet su kinauk kas kikiap lain mwet suwoha, payapa elos su oru tuh in wangin kaiyuk nu sin mwet kunaus ma sap, ac elos su fahk kas kikiap in akkolukye mwet su oru ma pwaye pwanang elos tia eis nununku suwohs.
that make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and pervert [the judgment of] the righteous by futility.
22 Ouinge LEUM GOD lun Israel, su molella Abraham liki mwe lokoalok nu sel, El fahk, “Mwet luk, kowos ac fah tia sifilpa aklusrongtenyeyuk, ac motowos fah tia sifil ngetnget in tonong ke mwekin.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now be pale;
23 Pacl se kowos liye tulik ma nga ac sot nutuwos, na kowos ac akilen lah nga God mutal lun Israel. Kowos fah akfulatyeyu ac arulana sunakinyu.
for when he seeth his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they shall hallow my name, and hallow the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 Mwet tafongla fah etala ma pwaye, ac elos su lungsena torkaskas ac fah engan in lutiyuk elos.”
And they that are of erring spirit shall know understanding, and the disobedient shall learn doctrine.
