Isaiah 31
1 We nu selos su som nu Egypt in suk kasru! Elos lulalfongi ke ku lulap lun Egypt — ke horse ac chariot puspis, ac un mwet mweun lalos. Elos tia lulalfongi LEUM GOD mutal lun Israel, ku siyuk kasru sel.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they me many: and in horsemen, because they me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
2 El lalmwetmet in ma El oru! El supu mwe ongoiya. El ac akfalye kas lal in kalyei mwet koluk oayapa elos su loangelos.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath not removed his words: and he will rise up against the house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that work iniquity.
3 Mwet Egypt uh tia god-elos mwet na. Wangin pac ku mwenmen lun horse natulos. Pacl se LEUM GOD El ac srukak ku lal, mutunfacl na ku ac fah tukulkul, ac mutunfacl munas ma kasreyuk ac ikori. Acn inge kewa ac fah kunausyukla.
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.
4 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Mwet shepherd uh finne sasa ac wowo, elos tia ku in lusla soko lion liki kosro soko ma el uniya. In ouiya sacna, wangin ma ku in tulokinyuwi, LEUM GOD Kulana, liki in loango Eol Zion.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth, and the lion’s whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
5 Oana ke sie won el pikpik fin ahng lal in loango ma fusr natul, ouinge nga LEUM GOD Kulana fah karingin Jerusalem ac loangel.”
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem, protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
6 God El fahk, “Mwet Israel, kowos orekma koluk lainyu ac kisrung ma nga oru. Tusruktu inge kowos foloko nu yuruk!
Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
7 Pacl se ac tuku ke kowos nukewa ac fah sisla ma sruloala koluk ma kowos orala ke silver ac gold.
For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you to sin.
8 Acn Assyria ac fah kunausyukla ke mweun, ac tia ke ku lun mwet. Mwet Assyria ac fah kaing liki mweun, ac mukul fusr lalos ac fah utukla nu in kohs.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man, and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young men shall be tributaries.
9 Tokosra fulat lalos ac fah sangeng ac kaingla, ac mwet leum lalos ac fah arulana tuninfongla, oru elos ac sisla flag in mweun lalos.” LEUM GOD pa fahk ma inge — LEUM GOD su akfulatyeyuk in Jerusalem, ac su e lal firir we mwe kisa.
And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
