Isaiah 9
1 Acn sin sruf lal Zebulun ac sruf lal Naphtali tuh pilesreyuk meet, tusruktu in pacl fahsru ac fah akfulatyeyuk, liki Meoa Mediterranean nu layen kutulap in Infacl Jordan, fahla na nwe Galilee, yen mwet in mutunfacl saya elos muta we.
Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 Mwet su fufahsryesr in lohsr, Elos liye sie kalem lulap. Elos tuh muta in sie facl na lohsr, A inge kalem srelosi.
O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.
3 Leum, kom akpusye mwet in mutunfacl sac; Kom akinsewowoyalos. Elos engankin ma kom orala, Oana ke mwet uh engan ke pacl in kosrani, Ku ke elos kitalik ma wap.
The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.
4 Tuh kom kotalik srenenu toasrlana faclos Ac sukan sringsring ma sringil finpisalos. Kom kutangla mutunfacl se Ma akkeokye ac aklalfonye mwet lom, Oana ke kom kutangla un mwet mweun lun Midian in pacl somla.
Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.
5 Fahluk nukewa lun un mwet mweun, Ac nuknuk lalos ma afla ke srah, Fah isisyak ke e.
For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.
6 Tuh isusla sie tulik nu sesr! Ituku nu sesr sie wen! El fah leum facsr. Ac El fah pangpang, “Mwet Pwapa Wolana,” “God Kulana,” “Papa Ma Pahtpaht,” “Fihsrak lun Misla.”
For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
7 Ku fulat lal ac fah yokyokelik ac wangin saflaiya; Tokosrai lal fah oan in misla pacl nukewa. El fah leum in aolulla Tokosra David; Ku lal ac fah oakwuk ke pwaye ac suwoswos Ingela ac nu tok. Pwayena LEUM GOD Kulana El ac oru ma inge!
His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgement and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
8 Leum El fahkak nununku lal nu fin tokosrai lun Israel, nu fin fwilin tulik natul Jacob.
The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.
9 Mwet Israel nukewa, ac elos su muta in siti lun Samaria, fah etu lah El oru ma inge. Mweyen elos filang ac inse fulat, elos fahk,
And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,
10 “Lohm orekla ke brick mokukla, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke eot tufahl. Sak sycamore taltal uh, tusruktu kut fah aolla ke sak cedar wowo.”
The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.
11 LEUM GOD El purakak mwet lokoalok lalos — mwet mweun lal Rezin in tuku mweun lainulos.
And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;
12 Syria layen kutulap ac Philistia layen roto akola na in okomla acn Israel. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tiana safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.
13 Mwet Israel tiana auliyak. LEUM GOD Kulana El ne kalyaelos, elos soenna foloko nu yorol.
But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.
14 Ke len sefanna LEUM GOD El fah kalyei mwet kol lun Israel ac mwet lalos. El fah wotela sifa ac pula, lah ac sra.
So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:
15 Mwet matu ma akfulatyeyuk pa sifa-ac mwet palu kikiap pa pula!
the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.
16 Elos su kol mwet inge elos aktafongyelosla ac arulana akfohsyalosyak.
And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.
17 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El tia insewowo ke mwet fusr lalos, ac wangin pakomuta lal nu sin katinmas ac tulik mukaimtal, mweyen mwet nukewa elos lain God, ac kutasrik, ac ma nukewa elos fahk uh koluk. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD fah tia safla, a El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
18 Ma koluk lun mwet uh firir oana sie e ma esukak mahsrik ac kokul — sie e lulap insak uh ma fosryak oana sruen kulasr.
And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.
19 Mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El kasrkusrak, kaiyuk lal firir oana sie e sasla fin acn uh ac esukla mwet, ac kais sie mwet fah sifacna fosrngakunul.
The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.
20 Yen nukewa in facl sac mwet uh ac alak in kang kutena ipin mwe mongo ma elos konauk, a masrinsral lalos tiana wanginla. Finne tulik natulos sifacna, elos kang pac!
But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.
21 Mwet Manasseh ac mwet Ephraim elos sroani aacnwuki, ac elos tukeni sroang ac mweuni Judah. Ne ouinge, kasrkusrak lun LEUM GOD tia safla. El srakna asroela paol in kalyei.
For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
