Isaiah 30
1 LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge: “We nu selos su leumi Judah, mweyen elos utuk nunak lainyu. Elos fahsr tukun pwapa lalos sifacna ac tia ma nga insese nu kac, ac elos akkeye wulela su tia ou ma lungse luk. Elos kalwenina in oru ma koluk.
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
2 Elos som nu Egypt in sukok kasru ac tia eis kas in kasru sik meet. Elos ke mwet Egypt in loangelos, na pa elos filiya lulalfongi lalos sin tokosra lun Egypt.
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
3 Tusruktu ac fah wangin ku lal tokosra sac in kasrelos, na saflaiyen karinginyuk lun Egypt pa ongoiya ac mwekinla.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
4 Mwet roso lun Judah finne sun tari siti lun Zoan ac Hanes in acn Egypt,
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 a mwet Judah fah auli lah elos tuh lulalfongi mutunfacl se su wangin sripa nu selos, sie mutunfacl ma tiana kasrelos ke pacl elos enenu.”
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
6 Kas in fahkak lun God pa inge ke kosro in acn mwesis eir: “Mwet roso elos fufahsryesr sasla in acn sensen, yen lion muta we ac oasr wet pwasin ac dragon sohksok. Elos us mwe lung puspis ma yohk molo fin donkey ac camel, in mwe sang lalos nu sin sie mutunfacl ma tia ku in oru kutena kain kasru nu selos.
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
7 Kasru lun Egypt wanginna sripa. Ouinge nga sang ine aksruksruk se lal: ‘Dragon Mwalna.’”
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
8 God El fahk nu sik in simusla luman moul lun mwet uh in sie book, tuh in oasr ma simusla kawil in akkalemye ke ouiyen moul koluk lalos.
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
9 Pacl nukewa elos utuk nunak lain God. Elos kikiap pacl nukewa, ac srangesr porongo mwe luti lun God.
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10 Elos sapkin mwet palu in tia kaskas. Elos fahk, “Nimet fahk nu sesr ma pwaye uh. Fahk nu sesr ma kut lungse lohng, finne sutuu.
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11 Tiok! Nimet lusrong kut. Kut tasak ke lohngyen God mutal lun Israel.”
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Tusruktu pa inge ma God mutal lun Israel El fahk: “Kowos pilesru ma nga fahk nu suwos, ac kowos kukin orekma sulallal ac kutasrik.
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
13 Kowos tafongla na pwaye. Kowos oana sie pot fulat ma srasrelik acn lucng nwe ten; ac tia paht na ac fah raki.
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
14 Kowos ac muliplipi oana sie tup kle — arulana musalsalu, oru wangin sie ip yohk kac fal in nwanak ipin mulut fol, ku sang utiya kof ke sie tacng.”
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
15 LEUM GOD Fulatlana, El su Mutal lun Israel, fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Kowos fin twe foloko ac efalla in lulalfongiyu, na kowos ac fah ku ac okak na.” A kowos tia lungse oru.
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
16 Kowos tia foloko a kowos akoo kowos in kaingkin mwet lokoalok lowos fin horse na mui nutuwos. Pwaye suwos — fal kowos in kaing! Kowos nunku mu horse nutuwos an mui, a horse nutin mwet ukwe kowos ingan mui liki na!
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17 Sie tausin suwos fah kaing ke kowos ac liyauk mwet mweun siefanna ukwe kowos, ac mwet lokoalok limekosr na fah fal in oru kowos nukewa in kaingelik. Wangin ma ac fah lula sin un mwet mweun lowos sayen sukan flag sokofanna fin soko eol.
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18 Ne ouinge, LEUM GOD El soano na in fahkak kulang ac pakoten lal nu suwos, mweyen El oru ma suwohs pacl e nukewa. Insewowo elos nukewa su filiya lulalfongi lalos in LEUM GOD.
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 Kowos mwet su muta Jerusalem fah tia sifilpa tung. LEUM GOD El pakoten, ac pacl kowos wowoyak nu sel in suk kasru, El ac topuk kowos.
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
20 Leum El ac oru kowos in pula pac pacl upa, tusruktu El ac fah apkuran nu yuruwos in luti kowos, ac kowos fah tia enenu in sifilpa sokol.
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21 Kowos fin kuhfla liki inkanek uh nu layot ku lasa, kowos ac lohng pusral tukuwos su fah fahk, “Pa inge inkanek uh. Fahsr na kac.”
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 Kowos ac mau us ma sruloala lowos ma nukla ke silver ac ma su afyufi ke gold, ac kowos ac sisla ma inge oana ma fohkfok, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Tiok liki ye mutuk!”
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
23 Kutena pacl ma kowos yukwi fita sunowos, Leum God El ac supwama af in akkapye, ac kowos ac fah kosrani yohk, na ac yohk pac acn in mongo lun kosro nutuwos.
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
24 Cow mukul ac donkey ma pikin ima lowos fah kang wheat na nasnas ac wo.
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
25 Ke len se ma ac sruhu nien muta ku lun mwet lokoalok lowos ac anwukla mwet we uh, infacl srisrik ac fah soror liki eol nukewa ac inging nukewa.
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Malem ac fah kalem oana faht, ac faht ac fah kalem pacl itkosr liki pacl nukewa, oana kalem lun len itkosr ke len sefanna. Ma inge nukewa ac sikyak pacl se LEUM GOD El ac pwelah ac akkeyala kinet El sang nu sin mwet lal.
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
27 Ku ac wolana lun LEUM GOD ku in liyeyuk yen loesla me. Firir ac fofosr fahkak kasrkusrak lal. El kaskas, ac kas lal firir oana e.
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 El supu eng uh meet lukel oana sie sronot in pokla ma nukewa ac sukela mutunfacl uh, ac aksafyela lemlem koluk lalos.
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
29 Tusruktu kowos, mwet lun God, fah engan ac on oana kowos oru ke fong ma kowos akfulatye kufwa mutal. Kowos ac fah engan oana elos su fahsr ke pusren on lun mwe on ke inkanek lalos nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD, su loangela Israel.
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru mwet nukewa in lohng pusra kulana lun wal lal, ac pula kuiyen kasrkusrak lal. Ac fah oasr firir, paka, af yohk kosra, ac af matol.
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31 Mwet Assyria ac fah tuninfong ke elos lohng pusren LEUM GOD, ac pula ke El kalyaelos ke soko sikal osra.
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
32 Ke LEUM GOD El ac sringil na sringil mwet Assyria, mwet lal ac fah puok drum ac harp natulos in fal nu ke pusren sringsring uh. God El ac fah sifacna mweun lain Assyria.
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
33 Oasr acn se nuna akoeyukla oemeet nu ke sie e lulap in esukak Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria. Acn sac loal ac sralap, ac yol in etong uh fulat nwe lucng. Mongin LEUM GOD ac fah oana soko kosran e in esukak.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
