Isaiah 8
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Eis sie ipin mwe sim lulap ac simusla fac ke mutun sim lulap: ‘Sulaklak Eisla, Aksaya Wapi.’
The LORD said to me, "Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man's pen, 'For Maher Shalal Hash Baz;'
2 Eis mwet lulalfongiyuk luo inge tuh elos in mwet loh: mwet tol Uriah, ac Zechariah wen natul Jeberechiah.”
and I will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah the cohen, and Zechariah the son of Berechiah."
3 Kutu pacl tok, mutan kiuk el pitutu ac oswela wen se. Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Sang inel ‘Sulaklak-Eisla-Aksaya-Wapi.’
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then said the LORD to me, "Call his name 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
4 Meet liki tulik mukul sac ku in fahk ‘Papa’ ac ‘Nina,’ mwe kasrup nukewa lun Damascus ac ma wap nukewa lun Samaria ac fah utukla sin tokosra lun Assyria.”
For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."
5 LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sik.
The LORD spoke to me yet again, saying,
6 El fahk, “Ke sripen mwet inge srangesr eis kof mihs ma tuku ke Infacl srisrik Shiloah, a elos engan in eisalosyang nu inpaol Tokosra Rezin ac Tokosra Pekah,
"Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
7 nga, LEUM GOD, ac fah use Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa in mweun lain Judah. Elos ac fahsryak oana tuku lun sronot uh, oana kof lulap ke Infacl Euphrates, ac afunla pefacl uh.
now therefore, look, the LORD brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its banks.
8 Elos ac asrma sasla Judah oana sie sronot ma lapak nu ke fulatan finpisen mwet uh, ac afunla ma nukewa.” God El wi kut! El karingin acn uh ye posohksok lal.
It will sweep onward into Judah. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the breadth of your land, Immanuel.
9 Kowos mutunfacl uh, tukeni nu sie ke sangeng! Porongo, kowos su muta yen loessula faclu. Akola in mweun, tusruktu kowos in sangeng! Aok akola, tusruktu kowos in sangeng!
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces. Listen, all you from far countries. Prepare for battle, and be shattered.
10 Orala oakwuk lowos an, tusruktu ac fah tia ku in orekla. Fahk ma nukewa kowos lungse fahk, tusruktu ac wangin sripa, mweyen God El wi kut.
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand: for God is with us."
11 Ke ku lulap lal, LEUM GOD El sensenkakinyu nga in tia fahsr ke inkanek ma mwet uh fahsr kac. El fahk,
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 “Nik kom wela pwapa sulal lun mwet, ac nik kom sangeng ke ma elos sangeng kac uh.
"Do not say, 'A conspiracy.' concerning all about which this people say, 'A conspiracy.' And do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.
13 Esam lah nga, LEUM GOD Kulana, nga mutal. Nga pa kom ac sangeng se uh.
The LORD of hosts is who you must regard as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must dread.
14 Ke sripen mangoliyen mutal luk, nga oana sie eot ma mwet uh tukulkul kac. Nga oana sie sruhf ma ac srifusrya mwet in tokosrai lun Judah ac Israel, oayapa mwet Jerusalem.
And he will be a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock that makes them fall to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Mwet puspis fah tukulkul. Elos ac ikori ac itungyuki. Elos ac fah sruh ac utukla.”
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured."
16 Kowos, mwet tumuk lutlut, enenu in karinganang ac sruokya ku kas nukewa ma God El ase nu sik.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the law among my disciples.
17 LEUM GOD El okanulla sifacna liki mwet lal uh, tuh nga lulalfongel ac filiya finsrak luk in El.
I will wait for the LORD, who hides his face from the house of Jacob, and I will trust in him.
18 Nga pa inge, wi tulik ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. LEUM GOD Kulana, su tron lal oan fin Eol Zion, El supwekut nu sin mwet Israel in oana mwe akul moul nu selos.
Look, I and the children whom God has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
19 Tusruktu mwet uh ac fah siyuk kom in lolngok yurin mwet susfa ac mwet inutnut, su ac mahma srisrik ac mungulngul. Elos fah fahk, “Ya tia fal mwet uh in sukok kas sin ngun, ac lolngok yurin mwet misa in kasru mwet moul?”
When they tell you, "Consult with the spirits of the dead and familiar spirits who chirp and who mutter. Shouldn't a people consult with their gods, by consulting the dead on behalf of the living?"
20 Kowos in topkolos ac fahk, “Lipsre ma LEUM GOD El luti nu suwos! Nimet porongo mwet inutnut — ma elos fahk nu suwos uh ac tia ku in kasrekowos.”
Turn to the law and to the testimony. If they do not speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 Mwet uh ac fufahsryesr fin facl sac, ac elos ac munasla ac masrinsralla. Ke sripen masrinsral lalos elos ac kasrkusrak ac selngawi tokosra lalos ac God lalos. Elos ac ngetak nu inkusrao,
They will pass through it, greatly distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 ku suiya infohk uh, a wangin ma elos ac liye sayen mwe ongoiya ac lohsr matoltol — aok ac fah sisiyang elos nu in lohsr, ac wangin inkanek lalos in kaingla liki pacl in ongoiya se inge.
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
