Isaiah 3
1 Inge LEUM GOD Kulana El akola in eisla liki acn Jerusalem ac Judah ma nukewa mwet uh moulkin, oayapa mwet kol lalos. El ac eisla mwe mongo nalos ac kof nimalos,
Behold now, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, will take away from Jerusalem and from Judea the mighty man and mighty woman, the strength of bread, and the strength of water,
2 mwet pulaik ac mwet mweun lalos, mwet nununku ac mwet palu lalos, mwet liyaten ac mwet matu lalos,
the great and mighty man, the warrior and the judge, and the prophet, and the counsellor, and the elder,
3 mwet kol un mwet mweun ac mwet kol lun government, mwet pwapa fulat ac mwet susfa.
the captain of fifty also, and the honourable counsellor, and the wise artificer, and the intelligent hearer.
4 LEUM GOD El ac lela tuh mukul fusr na supah in kololos.
And I will make youths their princes, and mockers shall have dominion over them.
5 Mwet nukewa ac srike in kiapu sie sin sie. Mwet fusr ac fah tia akfulatye mwet matu lalos, ac mwet lusrongten ac fah tia sunakin mwet leum lalos.
And the people shall fall, man upon man, and [every] man upon his neighbor: the child shall insult the elder man, and the base the honourable.
6 Pacl se ac tuku ke mwet in sie sruf fah sulela sie sin mwet lalos ac fahk nu sel, “Kom pa oasr nuknuk la, na pa kom in mwet kol lasr ke pacl upa se inge.”
For a man shall lay hold of his brother, as one of his father's household, saying, Thou hast raiment, be thou our ruler, and let my meat be under thee.
7 Ac el ac fah topuk, “Mo, nga tia ku in kasrekowos. Wangin mwe mongo ac wangin pac nuknuk luk. Nimet oru nga in mwet kol lowos!”
And he shall answer in that day, and say, I will not be thy ruler; for I have no bread in my house, nor raiment: I will not be the ruler of this people.
8 Aok, Jerusalem ac fah musalla! Judah el ikori! Mwet we elos lain LEUM GOD in ma nukewa elos fahk ac oru. Elos lemtulauk in akkolukye God.
For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judea has fallen, and their tongues [have spoken] with iniquity, disobedient [as they are] towards the Lord.
9 Ac fah nununkeyuk elos ke sripen srisri lalos. Elos orekma koluk lemtulauk oana mwet Sodom elos tuh oru. We nu selos! Elos sifacna use ma koluk nu faclos.
Wherefore now their glory has been brought low, and the shame of their countenance has withstood them, and they have proclaimed their sin as Sodom, and made it manifest.
10 Mwet suwoswos fah engan, ac ma nukewa ac fah wo nu selos. Elos ac engankin fokin orekma lalos.
Woe to their soul, for they have devised an evil counsel against themselves, saying against themselves, Let us bind the just, for he is burdensome to us: therefore shall they eat the fruits of their works.
11 Tusruktu, we nu sin mwet koluk — ma koluk elos tuh oru nu sin mwet ngia, ac fah folokyang nu selos.
Woe to the transgressor! evils shall happen to him according to the works of his hands.
12 Tulik srisrik elos akkeokye mwet luk, ac mutan uh leum fin mwet luk. Mwet kol lowos kol kowos ke inkanek tafongla, pwanang kowos tia etu acn kowos ac fahsr nu we.
O my people, your exactors strip you, and extortioners rule over you: O my people, they that pronounce you blesses lead you astray, and pervert the path of your feet.
13 LEUM GOD El akola in oru tukak lal; El akola in nununku mwet lal.
But now the Lord will stand up for judgment, and will enter into judgment with his people.
14 LEUM GOD El use mwet matu ac mwet kol lun mwet lal nu ke nununku. Pa inge kas in tukak lal: “Kowos pisrala ima in grape uh, ac lohm suwos sessesla ke ma kowos eisla sin mwet sukasrup.
The Lord himself shall enter into judgment with the elders of the people, and with their rulers: but why have ye set my vineyard on fire, and [why is] the spoil of the poor in your houses?
15 Wangin suwohs lowos in oru koluk mwet luk ac aklalfonye mwet sukasrup. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat ac Kulana, pa fahk ma inge.”
Why do ye wrong my people, and shame the face of the poor?
16 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Liye luman inse fulat lun mutan Jerusalem inge! Elos forfor na sengseng infwaclos. Pacl nukewa elos orek lumah. Mwe lohl ke kapsran nialos erarrar ke elos srala fahsr.
Thus saith the Lord, Because the daughters of Sion are haughty, and have walked with an outstretched neck, and with winking of the eyes, and motion of the feet, at the same time drawing their garments in trains, and at the same time sporting with their feet:
17 Tusruktu nga ac kalyaelos — nga fah mangsrasraela sifalos.”
therefore the Lord will humble the chief daughters of Sion, and the Lord will expose their form in that day;
18 Sie len ac tuku ke LEUM GOD El ac eisla liki mutan Jerusalem ma nukewa elos filangkin — mwe naweyuk ke kapin nialos, fin sifalos, inkwawalos,
and the Lord will take away the glory of their raiment, the curls and the fringes, and the crescents,
19 ac ke paolos. El ac eisla nuknuk afinyen mutalos,
and the chains, and the ornaments of their faces,
20 ac susu lalos, ac mwe lohl inutnut oan ke paolos ac ke infulwalos;
and the array of glorious ornaments, and the armlets, and the bracelets, and the wreathed work, and the finger-rings, and the ornaments for the right hand,
21 ring ke kufinpaolos ac ke infwaclos,
and the ear-rings, and the garments with scarlet borders, and the garments with purple grounds, and the shawls to be worn in the house, and the Spartan transparent dresses, and those made of fine linen, and the purple [ones], and the scarlet [ones], and the fine linen, interwoven with gold and purple, and the light coverings for couches.
22 nuknuk loeloes kato lalos, nuknuk in kufwa, coat in mutan, ac kupwes;
And there shall be instead of a sweet smell, dust; and instead of a girdle, thou shalt gird thyself with a rope; and instead of a golden ornament for the head, thou shalt have baldness on account of thy works; and instead of a tunic with a scarlet ground, thou shalt gird thyself with sackcloth.
23 nuknuk ngunngun, handkerchief linen, mwe afyuf insuf, ac mwe susu loeloes fin sifalos.
And thy most beautiful son whom thou lovest shall fall by the sword; and your mighty men shall fall by the sword, and shall be brought low.
24 Fohlo keng lalos ac fah foul koluk; wanginla pel kato lalos na elos ac orekmakin sucl; sifalos ac tila matol, a elos ac mangsrasrala; elos ac tila nukum nuknuk kato, a nukum nuknuk mihsasa; oasku lalos ac fah ekla nu ke mwe mwekin!
And the stores of your ornaments shall mourn, and thou shalt be left alone, and shalt be levelled with the ground.
25 Mukul in siti uh, aok finne mukul ma arulana ku, ac fah anwuki ke mweun.
26 Mutunpot lun siti ac fah tung ac mwemelil, ac siti sac sifacna ac fah oana sie mutan koflufoliyukla ac muta infohk uh.
