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, saith Jehovah, Who form plans, and not from me, And make covenants without my spirit, That they may add sin to 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.
Who go down into Egypt, Without inquiring at my mouth, To seek refuge in Pharaoh's protection, And to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Tusruktu ac fah wangin ku lal tokosra sac in kasrelos, na saflaiyen karinginyuk lun Egypt pa ongoiya ac mwekinla.
The protection of Pharaoh shall be your shame; Your trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
4 Mwet roso lun Judah finne sun tari siti lun Zoan ac Hanes in acn Egypt,
For their princes are at Zoan, Their ambassadors have arrived at 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.”
But they are all ashamed of a people that do not profit them; That are no help and no profit, But only a shame and a 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.
The loaded beasts go southward. Through a land of anguish and distress, Whence come forth the lioness, and the fierce lion, The viper, and the flying fiery serpent; On the shoulders of young asses they carry their wealth, And on the bunches of camels their treasures, To a people that will not profit them!
7 Kasru lun Egypt wanginna sripa. Ouinge nga sang ine aksruksruk se lal: ‘Dragon Mwalna.’”
Vain and empty is the help of Egypt; Wherefore I call her, The Blusterer that sitteth 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 this on a tablet before them; Note it down upon a book, That it may remain for future times, A testimony forever!
9 Pacl nukewa elos utuk nunak lain God. Elos kikiap pacl nukewa, ac srangesr porongo mwe luti lun God.
For this is a rebellious people, false children; Children who will not hear the law of Jehovah;
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.
Who say to the seers, “See not!” And to the prophets, “Prophesy not right things; Speak to us smooth things, Prophesy falsehood!
11 Tiok! Nimet lusrong kut. Kut tasak ke lohngyen God mutal lun Israel.”
Turn aside from the way, Depart from the path, Remove from our sight 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.
Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel: Since ye despise this word, And trust in oppression and perverseness, And lean thereon,
13 Kowos tafongla na pwaye. Kowos oana sie pot fulat ma srasrelik acn lucng nwe ten; ac tia paht na ac fah raki.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you Like a breach ready to give way, That swelleth out in a high wall, Whose fall cometh 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 is broken like a potter's vessel, Which is dashed in pieces and not spared, So that among its fragments not a sherd is found to take up fire from the hearth, Or to dip water from the 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 thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel: By a return and by rest shall ye be saved; In quietness and confidence is your strength;
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!
But ye would not. Ye said, “No! we will bound along upon horses”; Truly ye shall bound along in flight. “We will ride upon swift coursers”; But they shall be swift that pursue you.
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 shall flee at the rebuke of one, And ten thousand at the rebuke of five, Till what remains of you shall be as a beacon on the top of a mountain, As a banner upon 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.
And yet will Jehovah wait to be gracious to you, And yet will he arise to have mercy upon you; For Jehovah is a righteous God; Happy are all they 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.
For, O people of Zion, that dwellest in Jerusalem, Thou shalt not always weep! He will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; No sooner shall he hear it, than he will answer thee.
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.
Though Jehovah hath given thee the bread of distress, and the water of affliction, Yet shall thy teachers be hidden from thee no more; But thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
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 thine ears shall hear a voice behind thee, Saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it!” When ye turn aside to the right hand, or to the left.
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!”
Ye shall treat as defiled the silver coverings of your graven images, And the golden clothing of your molten images, Ye shall cast them away as an unclean thing; Away! shall ye say to them.
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 will he give rain for thy seed, With which thou shalt sow the ground, And the bread-corn, the produce of the land, shall be rich and nourishing; Then shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
24 Cow mukul ac donkey ma pikin ima lowos fah kang wheat na nasnas ac wo.
The oxen also, and the young asses, that till the ground, Shall eat well-seasoned provender, Which hath been winnowed with the shovel and the fan.
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 on every lofty mountain, And on every high hill, Shall be brooks and streams of water, In the day of the 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.
Then shall the light of the moon be as the light of the sun, And the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, [[As the light of seven days, ]] When Jehovah bindeth up the bruises of his people, And healeth the wound which they have received.
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 Jehovah cometh from afar, His anger burneth, and violent is the flame, His lips are full of indignation, And his tongue like a devouring 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 an overflowing torrent, That reacheth even to the neck; He will toss the nation with the winnowing-fan of destruction; He will put a bridle upon the jaws of the people, that shall 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.
But ye shall then sing as in the night of a solemn festival; Your heart shall be glad, like his who marcheth with the sound of the pipe To the mountain of Jehovah, 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.
Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, And the blow of his arm to be seen, With furious anger, and flames of devouring fire; With flood, and 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 by the voice of Jehovah shall the Assyrian be beaten down; He will smite him with the rod.
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 as often as the appointed rod shall strike, Which Jehovah shall lay heavily upon him, It shall be accompanied with tabrets and harps; And with fierce battles will he fight against him.
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 long hath the burning place been prepared; Yea, for the king hath it been made ready; The pile is made deep and broad; There is fire and wood in abundance; The breath of Jehovah, like a stream of brimstone, kindle it.
