Isaiah 33
1 We nu sin mwet lokoalok lasr! Elos pisrapasr ac kiapu mwet uh, finne wangin mwet pisre ma lalos ku kiapwelos. Tusruktu pacl in pusr ac kikiap lalos ac safla, ac elos sifacna ac fah kiapweyuk ac pisreyuk ma lalos.
Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.
2 LEUM GOD, pakoten nu sesr. Kut filiya finsrak lasr in kom. Karingin kut len nu ke len, ac molikutla in pacl ongoiya.
O LORD, be gracious to us! We wait for You. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in time of trouble.
3 Pacl kom mweun kacsr uh, mutunfacl uh kaingla ke elos lohng kusen mweun.
The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
4 Ma lalos nukewa ac fah orekeni ac utukla in ma wap, oana ke un locust uh kangla sroan ima nukewa.
Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
5 Fuka lupan fulatlana lun LEUM GOD! El pa nununku ma nukewa. El fah nwakla acn Jerusalem ke suwoswos ac pwaye,
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 ac oru tuh mutunfacl se inge in oakwuki ku. El karl ngin mwet lal pacl nukewa, ac sang lalmwetmet ac etauk nu selos. Ma saok se ma yohk emeet selos pa etu in sunakin LEUM GOD.
He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
7 Mwet na pulaik elos sukok ka sru. Mwet tutafpo fulat su suk inka nek in misla elos tung mwemelil.
Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 Inkanek lulap uh yokla mwe sensen we oru wangin mwet fufahsryesr fac. Oakwuk in insesela ma orekla inmasrlon mutunfacl uh musalla, ac wanginla pac akfulatyeyen mwet uh.
The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. The treaty has been broken, the witnesses are despised, and human life is disregarded.
9 Acn uh oanna ke wangin, ac wangin mwet muta we. Insak in acn Lebanon masla, ac infahlfal Sharon ma wo fohk we uh mwesisla, ac sroan sak uh in acn Bashan ac fin Eol Carmel putatla.
The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and decayed. Sharon is like a desert; Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mutunfacl puspis, “Inge, nga ac mukuila ac akkalemye kuiyuk.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11 Kowos oru pwapa lusrongten, ac ma nukewa kowos oru wangin sripa. Ngunik, su oana sie e, ac kunauskowosla.”
You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 Kowos ac mokutkuti oana eot ma isikyak in orek fasr — oana otonsak ma firirla nwe ke apatla.
The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
13 Lela mwet nukewa yen apkuran ac yen loessula in lohng ma nga orala ac akilen ku luk.”
You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 Mwet koluk in Zion elos rarrar ke sangeng. Elos fahk, “Nununku lun God oana sie e ma firir nwe tok. Ya oasr kutena sesr ku in painmoulla ke kain in e ouinge uh?”
The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
15 Kowos ku in moul kowos fin oru ma suwohs ac kaskas pwaye. Nik kowos orekmakin ku lowos in kiapu mwet sukasrup, ac nik kowos eis molin eyeinse. Nik kowos kupasryang nu selos su akoo in orek akmas ku in oru kutena ouiya koluk.
He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
16 Na kowos ac fah moulla. Kowos ac fah okak na, oana ke kowos in muta ke sie pot ku yen fulat. Ac fah oasr mwe mongo nowos ac kof nimowos.
he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
17 Kowos ac fah sifilpa liye sie tokosra in wolana lal su leumi sie facl na lulap.
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
18 Kowos ac fah esamak sangeng lowos ke mwetsac su eisani takma, ac mwet kalngeyuk ma oakla tower ke siti lowos.
Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 Kowos ac tia sifil liye mwetsac ma orek funmwet ac kaskaskin sie kas ma kowos tia ku in kalem kac.
You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
20 Ngetla liye acn Zion, siti se ma kut oru kufwa mutal lasr we. Liye acn Jerusalem! Sie acn misla su ac wo in muta we! Acn we ac fah oana sie lohm nuknuk ma tiana mokleyukla, su kwi kac uh tiana fifyak, ac sucl kac uh tia wi wotla.
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 LEUM GOD El fah akkalemye wolana lal nu sesr. Kut fah muta sisken infacl sralap ac sungan infacl srisrik. Tusruktu oak lulap okan mwet sulallal uh ac fah tiana kalkal we.
But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.
22 Tuh LEUM GOD pa ac nununkekut. El tokosra lasr su ac leumi kut ac loangekutla.
For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.
23 Sucl fin oak ingan foroti — tia ku in sruokya koesu uh in okak, ku amakunak nes uh in elakelik. Kut ac sruokya mwe kasrup nukewa lun mwet lokoalok lasr ac kitalik. Ac fah yolyak nu sesr, pwanang finne mwet sukapas, ac oasr pac ip lalos.
Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.
24 Wangin mwet in facl sesr ac fah fahk mu, “Nga mas.” Ma koluk lun mwet nukewa fah nunak munas nu selos.
And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.
