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 Isaiah the son of Amoz 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.
Set up a banner on the bare mountain. Lift up your voice to them. Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
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 consecrated ones; I have also called my mighty men to carry out my anger, my proudly exulting ones.
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 is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together. The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for the battle.
5 Elos tuku liki acn loessula me, acn puspis ke saflaiyen faclu. In kasrkusrak lal, LEUM GOD El tuku in kunausla facl sac nufon.
They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, 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.
Wail; for the day of the LORD is at hand. It will come as destruction from Shaddai.
7 Poun mwet nukewa ac fah munasla, ac inse pulaik lun mwet uh ac fah wanginla.
Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone's heart will 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.
They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
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.
Look, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners 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 the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
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.
I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 Mwet su ac painmoulla uh ac sesa liki gold wowo.
I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.
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.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
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.
It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
15 Kutena mwet su sruh ac fah fakfuki in misa.
Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will 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 also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
17 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga fah purakak mwet Media in mweuni acn Babylon. Wangin enenu lalos ke silver, ac elos tia mwel gold.
Look, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.
18 Elos ac uniya mwet fusr ke mwe pisr natulos. Wangin pakomuta lalos nu sin tulik fusr ac tulik srisrik.
Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.
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!
Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
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 will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down 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 animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic 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.”
Wolves will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
