< Isaiah 17 >

1 The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.
Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Damasco. Awanen, saanton a maibilang a maysa a siudad ti Damasco; agbalinto daytoy a gabsuon dagiti dadael.
2 Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.
Mapanawanto dagiti siudad ti Aroer. Agbalindanto a paginanaan dagiti arban ket awanto iti pakaigapuan ti panagbutengda.
3 The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.
Mapukawto dagiti natalged a siudad manipud iti Efraim, ti pagarian manipud iti Damasco ken dagiti nabatbati iti Aram- agbalindanto a kas iti dayag dagiti tattao ti Israel- daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
4 And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.
Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a kumapuy ti dayag ni Jacob ken ti kinalukmeg ti lasagna ket kumuttongto.
5 And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.
Maiyarigto daytoy iti talon no kasta nga apiten ti agan-ani ti sitatakder a trigo ken apiten ti takiagna dagiti dawa ti trigo. Maiyarigto daytoy iti talon no kasta nga agtudtod ti maysa a tao kadagiti dawa ti trigo iti tanap ti Refaim.
6 But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.
Mabatinto dagiti natudtod, uray kaskasano, a kas iti mapasamak no magungon ti kayo ti olibo: dua wenno tallo nga olibo iti ringgawis ti kangatoan a sanga, uppat wenno lima ti mabati iti kangatoan a sanga iti nabunga a kayo- daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel.
7 In that day a man's heart will be turned to his Maker, and his eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, kumitanto dagiti tattao iti Namarsua kadakuada, ket kumitadanto iti Nasantoan ti Israel.
8 He will not be looking to the altars, the work of his hands, or to the wood pillars or to the sun-images which his fingers have made.
Saandanto a kumita kadagiti altar, nga inaramid dagiti imada, kasta met a saandanto a kumita iti inaramid dagiti ramayda, dagiti poste nga imahen ni Asera wenno dagiti imahen ti init.
9 In that day your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, dagiti nabibileg a siudadda ket kaslanto iti nabaybay-an nga agdan a kayo iti tapaw ti turod, a napanawan gapu kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket agbalinto daytoy a nabaybay-an.
10 For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;
Ta linipatyo ti Dios a manangisalakanyo, ken saanyo nga inkaskaso ti maiyarig iti bato a pigsayo. Isu a nagmulakayo kadagiti napipintas a mulmula ken nagmulakayo kadagiti karkarna a bin-i
11 In the day of your planting you were watching its growth, and in the morning your seed was flowering: but its fruit is wasted away in the day of grief and bitter sorrow.
iti aldaw a nagmulakayo ket inaladan ken rinuk-itanyo. Agtubonto iti mabiit ti bukelyo, ngem ti maapitto ket aldaw ti ladingit ken nakaro a liday.
12 Ah! the voice of peoples, like the loud sounding of the seas, and the thundering of great nations rushing on like the bursting out of waters!
Asi pay! Ti arimbangaw dagiti adu a tatttao, dayta nga arimbangaw ket kasla panagdaranudor dagiti baybay ken panagkaribuso dagiti nasion, dayta a karibuso ket kasla danarudor ti napigsa a danum!
13 But he will put a stop to them, and make them go in flight far away, driving them like the waste of the grain on the tops of the mountains before the wind, and like the circling dust before the storm.
Agarimbangawto dagiti nasion a kasla panagdaranudor ti adu a danum ngem pasardengento ida ti Dios. Agtataraydanto iti adayo ket kamatendanto ida a kasla kadagiti maitayab a nagango a ruot kadagiti banbantay ken kasla kadagiti maiyalipugpog a ruruot.
14 In the evening there is fear, and in the morning they are gone. This is the fate of those who take our goods, and the reward of those who violently take our property for themselves.
Iti rabii, kitaenyo, nakabutbuteng! Ket sakbay a bumigat awandanton; dayta ti maganab dagiti mangsamsam kadatayo, ti maganab dagiti agtakaw kadatayo.
