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 the LORD, that take counsel, but not from me; and that cover with a covering, but not of 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.
That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shade of Egypt!
3 Tusruktu ac fah wangin ku lal tokosra sac in kasrelos, na saflaiyen karinginyuk lun Egypt pa ongoiya ac mwekinla.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shade of Egypt [your] confusion.
4 Mwet roso lun Judah finne sun tari siti lun Zoan ac Hanes in acn Egypt,
For his princes were at Zoan, and his embassadors came to 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.”
They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit them, nor be a help nor profit, but a shame, and also 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 burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and the old lion, the viper and flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people [that] shall not profit [them].
7 Kasru lun Egypt wanginna sripa. Ouinge nga sang ine aksruksruk se lal: ‘Dragon Mwalna.’”
For the Egyptian shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit 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.
Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
9 Pacl nukewa elos utuk nunak lain God. Elos kikiap pacl nukewa, ac srangesr porongo mwe luti lun God.
That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children [that] will not hear the law of the LORD:
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 to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Tiok! Nimet lusrong kut. Kut tasak ke lohngyen God mutal lun Israel.”
Withdraw from the way, turn aside from the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
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, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean upon it:
13 Kowos tafongla na pwaye. Kowos oana sie pot fulat ma srasrelik acn lucng nwe ten; ac tia paht na ac fah raki.
Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at 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.”
And he shall break it as the breaking of the potter's vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a piece to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.
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 saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
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 said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
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.
One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign 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.
And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious to you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that 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 the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, 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.
And [though] the LORD shall give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thy 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 thy ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn 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 defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a polluted cloth; thou shalt say to it, Be gone from me.
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 shall he give the rain of thy seed, with which thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day 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 likewise and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with 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 there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters 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.
Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be seven-fold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
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 cometh from far, burning [with] his anger, and the burden [of it is] heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as 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.
And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.
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.
Ye shall have a song, as in the night, [when] a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come upon the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One 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 shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
31 Mwet Assyria ac fah tuninfong ke elos lohng pusren LEUM GOD, ac pula ke El kalyaelos ke soko sikal osra.
For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, [who] smote with a 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 [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
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 Tophet [is] ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile of it [is] fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
