< Isaiah 47 >
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Babylon, fani liki tron lom, Ac muta fin kutkut infohk uh. Meet kom oana sie virgin, sie siti ma soenna kutangyukla, A inge monum tia sifil fisrasrsrasr ac fwel! Inge kom sie mutan kohs.
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin, daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldaeans! For thou shalt no longer be called the tender and delicate!
2 Furokak eot in ilil flao! Eisla nuknuk afinyen motom! Sarukla nuknuk kato lom. Olak sikut lom an ac tupalla infacl uh!
Take the mill-stones and grind meal; Raise thy veil, lift up thy train; Make bare the leg, wade through the streams!
3 Mwet uh ac liye lah kom koflufol; Elos fah liye ke kom akpusiselyeyuk ac mwekinla. Nga ac oru foloksak luk, ac wangin mwet ac tulokinyuwi.”
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, And thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance; I will make peace with none.
4 God mutal lun Israel El aksukosokyekutla — Inel pa LEUM GOD Kulana.
Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, The Holy One of Israel.
5 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Babylon, “Muta in lohsr uh ac mislana. Mwet uh ac tia sifil pangon kom kasra lun mutunfacl uh!
Sit thou in silence; go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldaeans! For thou shalt no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Nga tuh kasrkusrak sin mwet luk. Nga tia sifil oralos oana mwet luk. Nga fuhlelosi nu inpoum, Ac kom tiana pakomutalos. Finne mwet matu, kom arulana akkeokyalos.
I was angry with my people; I profaned my inheritance, And gave them into thy hand; Thou didst show them no mercy; Even upon the aged didst thou lay a very grievous yoke.
7 Kom nunku mu kom ac kasra nwe tok, Oru wangin nunkeyen ma inge sum Lah ac mau fuka saflaiya.
Thou saidst, “I shall be mistress forever”; So that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, Nor consider what would be the end of them.
8 “Porongo ma se inge, kom su lungse mwe pwar Ac nunku mu moul lom an oakwuk ac wanginna sensen kac. Kom fahk mu kom fulat oana God, Ac wangin sie oana kom. Kom nunku mu kom ac tiana katinmasla, Ku pulakin keok ke sripen tulik nutum uh wanginla.
But hear thou this, thou that art given to pleasure! That sittest in security, And sayest in thy heart, “I am, and there is none besides me; I shall not be a widow, Nor see myself childless!”
9 Tusruktu in kitin pacl na, ke len sefanna, Ma inge kewa fah sikyak nu sum. Kom finne susfa ac orek inutnut, Mukul tomom ac tulik nutum uh ac fah wanginla.
Behold, both these things shall come upon thee suddenly, in one day, Loss of children, and widowhood; In full measure shall they come upon thee, In spite of thy many sorceries, And the great abundance of thy enchantments.
10 “Arulana wangin fosrnga lom ke ma koluk lom; Kom nunku mu wangin sie ac ku in liye kom. Lalmwetmet ac etauk lom kiapwekomla, Ac kom sifacna nunku mu kom God — Wangin sie saya oana kom.
Thou didst trust in thy wickedness, and saidst, “No one seeth me”; Thy wisdom and thy knowledge have led thee astray; Thou saidst in thy heart, “I am, and there is none besides me”;
11 Mwe ongoiya ac fah tuku nu fom, Ac inutnut lom an tia ku in sikulya. Musalla ac fah sa na in sun kom, Sie musalla yohk ma kom tiana nunku mu ac sikyak!
Therefore shall evil come upon thee, of which thou shalt not know the dawn; And mischief shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to expiate; Suddenly shall desolation come upon thee, when thou thinkest not of it.
12 Sruokyana mwe inutnut ac mwe susfa lom; Kom nuna orekmakin ma ingan oe ke kom fusr ah me. Sahp ac ku in kasrekom, Ku sahp kom ku in sang aksangengye mwet lokoalok lom.
Persevere now in thy enchantments; In the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth; Perhaps thou mayst be profited by them! Perhaps thou mayst make thyself feared!
13 Wangin ku lom, kom finne eis kas in kasru Sin mwet su suiya itu uh, Ac kitalik pulan pacl uh fal nu ke ma elos liye inkusrao, Ac fahkak nu sum ma ac sikyak nu sum Ke malem nu ke malem. Sap mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh ingan in tuku ac molikomla.
Art thou wearied with thy many devices? Let them stand up, then, and save thee, The observers of the heavens, the star-gazers, They that prognosticate at every new moon The things that shall come upon thee!
14 “Elos ac fah oana mah pao, Ma sie e ac fah furreak! Elos ac tia pac ku in sifacna molelosla. Firir sac ac fah arulana fol nu selos, Tia e in langlung se.
Behold, they shall be like stubble; the fire shall burn them up; They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; Not a coal shall be left of them to warm one, Nor a spark of fire to sit by.
15 Pa na ingan luman kasru kom ac eis sin Mwet tuni ma oan yen engyeng uh, su kom muta lolngok yoro in moul lom nufon. Elos nukewa ac som liki kom ac fahsr innek lalos sifacna, Ac wangin sie selos fah lula in molikomla.”
Thus shall it be with them with whom thou hast labored; Thus with them with whom thou hast trafficked from thy youth; They shall go every one his own way; None shall help thee.
