Isaiah 13
1 Kas in fahkak se inge, su Isaiah wen natul Amoz el tuh eis sin God, ma ke acn Babylon.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
2 Amakunak flag in mweun fin soko eol musrasra! Sapsap nu sin mwet mweun uh, ac kolak poum in sie akul nu selos in fahsryang ac mweuni mutunpot lun siti inse fulat sac.
Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
3 LEUM GOD El pangon mwet mweun fulat ac ku lal nu ke sie mweun mutal, in kalyaelos su El kasrkusrak se.
I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
4 Porongo pusren wohwon fineol uh — pusren sie un mwet na lulap, pusren mutunfacl ac tokosrai ke elos toeni. LEUM GOD lun Un Mwet Mweun El akoo u lal nu ke mweun.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
5 Elos tuku liki acn loessula me, acn puspis ke saflaiyen faclu. In kasrkusrak lal, LEUM GOD El tuku in kunausla facl sac nufon.
To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
6 Kowos in tung ke keok! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme — len se ma El su ku liki ku El ac sukela ma nukewa.
Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
7 Poun mwet nukewa ac fah munasla, ac inse pulaik lun mwet uh ac fah wanginla.
Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
8 Elos nukewa ac fah tuninfongla ac munasla ke waiok, oana sie mutan isus. Elos fah ngetani nu sie ke sangeng, ac mutalos fah srusrala ke mwekin.
And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
9 Len lun LEUM GOD ac tuku — len in folo ke kasrkusrak ac ke fol lal. Faclu ac fah orekla sie acn mwesis, ac mwet orekma koluk nukewa ac fah sikiyukla.
Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 Kais sie itu ac u in itu nukewa fah tila saromrom. Faht uh ac fah lohsr pacl se el takak, ac ac fah wangin kalem lun malem.
For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
11 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac fah use ongoiya lulap nu fin faclu ac kalyei mwet koluk nukewa ke ma koluk lalos. Nga ac akpusiselyalos nukewa su inse fulat, ac toanya nunak fulat nukewa lun mwet filang ac sulallal.
And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
12 Mwet su ac painmoulla uh ac sesa liki gold wowo.
A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
13 Nga fah oru kusrao in rarrar, ac faclu ac fah usrusrla liki acn oan we in len se ke nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, akkalemye kasrkusrak luk.
For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
14 “Mwetsac su muta Babylon fah kaingla nu in facl selos sifacna — kaingelik oana deer kaingkin mwet sruh kosro, ku oana sheep wangin mwet shepherd la.
And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
15 Kutena mwet su sruh ac fah fakfuki in misa.
Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
16 Elos ac tu ngetang ac wangin ma elos ku in oru ke tulik srisrik natulos ac fah puopo nwe ke misa, ac lohm selos wapiyuki, ac mutan kialos sruinkuiyuk sin mwet mweun uh.”
Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah purakak mwet Media in mweuni acn Babylon. Wangin enenu lalos ke silver, ac elos tia mwel gold.
Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
18 Elos ac uniya mwet fusr ke mwe pisr natulos. Wangin pakomuta lalos nu sin tulik fusr ac tulik srisrik.
But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
19 Babylonia pa tokosrai se ma oasku oemeet uh, mwe konkin lun mwet we. Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kunausla Babylon oana ke nga tuh oru nu sin Sodom ac Gomorrah!
And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
20 Wangin mwet ac fah sifilpa muta we. Mwet takusrkusr lun Arabia ac fah tia sifilpa tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos we, ac wangin mwet shepherd fah sifil kite un kosro natulos we.
It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
21 Ac fah sie acn sin kosro lemnak yen mwesis, ac yen in orek ahng lun won owl. Won ostrich ac fah muta we, ac nani lemnak fah yuwot yume fin mahnum we.
But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
22 Nien san, oayapa inkul fulat sin tokosra, fah sessesla ke pusren tung lun kosro lemnak uh. Pacl lun Babylon summa! Len lal akuranna safla.”
And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
