Isaiah 31
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in their abundance of chariots and in their multitude of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel; they do not seek the LORD.
Asi pay dagiti sumalog idiay Egipto tapno agpatulong ken dagiti agtalek kadagiti kabalio, ken dagiti agtalek kadagiti karwahe (gapu ta adu dagitoy) ken kadagiti agkabkabalio (gapu ta saan a mabilang dagitoy). Ngem saanda a pakaseknan ti maipapan iti Nasantoan ti Israel, wenno saanda a sapulen ni Yahweh!
2 Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers.
Ngem nasirib isuna, ket idissuornanto ti didigra ken saannanto a baliwan dagiti saona. Ket busurennanto ti balay ti dakes ken dagiti mangtultulong kadagiti agar-aramid iti basol.
3 But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.
Ti Egipto ket tao saan ket a Dios, lasag laeng dagiti kabalioda saan ket nga espiritu. Inton igaw-at ni Yahweh ti imana, dagiti mangtultulong ket maitublakto, ken dagiti matultulongan ket matumbanto; agpadada a mapukaw.
4 For this is what the LORD has said to me: “Like a lion roaring or a young lion over its prey— and though a band of shepherds is called out against it, it is not terrified by their shouting or subdued by their clamor— so the LORD of Hosts will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Kas iti leon, uray ti urbon a leon ket ngerngeranna ti kinemmegna a kanenna, no pukkawan daytoy ti maysa a bunggoy dagiti agpaspastor, saan daytoy nga agbuteng kadagiti timekda, wenno agtaray gapu iti pukkawda; kastanto met ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin inton umulog a makiranget idiay tapaw ti Bantay Sion, iti dayta a turod.
5 Like birds hovering overhead, so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem. He will shield it and deliver it; He will pass over it and preserve it.”
Kas kadagiti billit a tumaytayab, salaknibanto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti Jerusalem; salakniban ken ispalennanto inton lumabas isuna iti daytoy, ken ikanawana daytoy.
6 Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel.
Agsublikayo kenkuana, dakayo a tattao ti Israel a timmallikod kenkuana.
7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
Ta iti dayta nga aldaw, tunggal maysa ket ibellengnanto dagiti didiosenna a pirak ken balitok a sibabasol nga inaramid dagiti imayo.
8 “Then Assyria will fall, but not by the sword of man; a sword will devour them, but not one made by mortals. They will flee before the sword, and their young men will be put to forced labor.
Mapasagto ti Asiria babaen iti kampilan; maysa a kampilan a saan nga inaramid ti tao ti mangdadael iti daytoy. Aglibasto daytoy manipud iti kampilan, ket mapilitto dagiti agtutubo daytoy nga agtrabaho iti nadagsen.
9 Their rock will pass away for fear, and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,” declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Mapukawdanto ti amin a talekda gapu iti buteng, ket agbutengto dagiti prisipena iti imatang ti bandera ni Yahweh.” — Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh, a ti apuyna ket adda idiay Sion ken ti urnona ket adda idiay Jerusalem.
