< Isaiah 30 >

1 “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin!
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.
2 You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my mouth, instead hoping for assistance from the strength of Pharaoh and placing trust in the shadow of Egypt.
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.
3 And so, the strength of Pharaoh will be your confusion, and trust in the shadow of Egypt will be your disgrace.
Tusruktu ac fah wangin ku lal tokosra sac in kasrelos, na saflaiyen karinginyuk lun Egypt pa ongoiya ac mwekinla.
4 For your leaders were at Tanis, and your messengers have traveled even as far as Hanes.
Mwet roso lun Judah finne sun tari siti lun Zoan ac Hanes in acn Egypt,
5 They have all been confounded because of a people who were not able to offer profit to them, who were not of assistance, nor of other usefulness, except to offer confusion and reproach.
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.”
6 The burden of the beasts in the south. In a land of tribulation and anguish, from which go forth the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying king snake, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts of burden, and their valuables upon the humps of camels, to a people who are not able to offer profit to them.
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.
7 For Egypt will offer assistance, but without purpose or success. Therefore, concerning this, I cried out: “It is only arrogance! Remain calm.”
Kasru lun Egypt wanginna sripa. Ouinge nga sang ine aksruksruk se lal: ‘Dragon Mwalna.’”
8 Now, therefore, enter and write for them upon a tablet, and note it diligently in a book, and this shall be a testimony in the last days, and even unto eternity.
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.
9 For they are a people who provoke to wrath, and they are lying sons, sons unwilling to listen to the law of God.
Pacl nukewa elos utuk nunak lain God. Elos kikiap pacl nukewa, ac srangesr porongo mwe luti lun God.
10 They say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to those who behold: “Do not behold for us the things that are right. Speak to us of pleasing things. See errors for us.
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.
11 Take me from the way. Avert me from the path. Let the Holy One of Israel cease from before our face.”
Tiok! Nimet lusrong kut. Kut tasak ke lohngyen God mutal lun Israel.”
12 Because of this, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Since you have rejected this word, and you have hoped in calumny and rebellion, and since you have depended upon these things,
Tusruktu pa inge ma God mutal lun Israel El fahk: “Kowos pilesru ma nga fahk nu suwos, ac kowos kukin orekma sulallal ac kutasrik.
13 for this reason, this iniquity will be to you like a breach that has fallen, and like a gap in a high wall. For its destruction will happen suddenly, when it is not expected.
Kowos tafongla na pwaye. Kowos oana sie pot fulat ma srasrelik acn lucng nwe ten; ac tia paht na ac fah raki.
14 And it will be crushed, just as the earthen vessel of a potter is destroyed by a sharp blow. And not even a fragment of its earthenware will be found, which might carry a little fire from the hearth, or which might draw a little water from a hollow.
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.”
15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!
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.
16 And you have said: “Never! Instead, we will flee by horseback.” For this reason, you will be put to flight. And you have said, “We will climb upon swift ones.” For this reason, those who pursue you will be even swifter.
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!
17 A thousand men will flee in terror from the face of one, and you will flee in terror from the face of five, until you who have been left behind are like the mast of a ship at the top of a mountain, or like a sign on a hill.
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.
18 Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
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.
19 For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.
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.
20 And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.
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.
21 And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”
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.”
22 And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!”
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!”
23 And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.
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.
24 And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.
Cow mukul ac donkey ma pikin ima lowos fah kang wheat na nasnas ac wo.
25 And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.
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.
26 And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
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.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord arrives from far away. His fury is burning and heavy to bear. His lips have been filled with indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
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.
28 His Spirit is like a torrent, inundating, even as high as the middle of the neck, in order to reduce the nations to nothing, along with the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
El supu eng uh meet lukel oana sie sronot in pokla ma nukewa ac sukela mutunfacl uh, ac aksafyela lemlem koluk lalos.
29 There will be a song for you, as in the night of a sanctified solemnity, and a joy of heart, as when one travels with music to arrive at the mountain of the Lord, to the Strong One of Israel.
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.
30 And the Lord will cause the glory of his voice to be heard, and, with a threatening fury and a devouring flame of fire, he will reveal the terror of his arm. He will crush with the whirlwind and with hailstones.
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.
31 For at the voice of the Lord, Assur will dread being struck with the staff.
Mwet Assyria ac fah tuninfong ke elos lohng pusren LEUM GOD, ac pula ke El kalyaelos ke soko sikal osra.
32 And when the passage of the staff has been begun, the Lord will cause it to rest upon him, with timbrels and harps. And with special battles, he will fight against them.
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.
33 For a burning place, deep and wide, has been prepared from yesterday, prepared by the King. Its nourishment is fire and much wood. The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, kindles it.
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.
