Isaiah 18
1 Ho! land of the sounding of wings, on the other side of the rivers of Ethiopia:
Asi pay ti daga dagiti banerber dagiti payyak nga adda iti labes dagiti karayan ti Etiopia;
2 Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.
a mangibaon kadagiti mensahero iti igid ti baybay, kadagiti bilog a naaramid iti karwawe nga adda kadagiti rabaw ti danum. Mapankayo, dakayo a naalibtak a mensahero iti nasion a natatayag ken nakikinis ti kudilda, kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngan dagiti adda iti adayo ken iti asideg, napigsa ken nabileg a nasion, a ti dagana ket biningay dagiti karayan!
3 All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.
Dakayo amin nga agnanaed iti lubong ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti daga, no ti bandera ket naitag-ay iti tapaw dagiti bantay, kumitakayo; ken no napuyutan ti trumpeta, dumngegkayo.
4 For this is what the Lord has said to me: I will be quiet, watching from my place; like the clear heat when the sun is shining, like a mist of dew in the heat of summer.
Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh kaniak, “Agpaliiwak a siuulimek manipud iti pagtaengak, a kasla iti dumardarang a pudot ti init, a kasla ulep ti linnaaw iti nadagaang a panagapit.”
5 For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.
Sakbay iti panagapit, inton nalpasen ti panagsasabong ken ti sabong ket agbalbalinen nga ubas, kumpayenanto dagiti sanga, putdenna ket ikkatenna dagiti narampaya a sangsanga.
6 They will be for the birds of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth: the birds will come down on them in the summer, and the beasts of the earth in the winter.
Mabaybay-andanto nga agpaay kadagiti billit iti banbantay ken kadagiti ayup iti daga. Kanento dagiti billit dagitoy iti tiempo ti kalgaw ken kanento dagiti amin nga ayup iti daga dagitoy iti tiempo ti lammiis.
7 In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.
Iti dayta a tiempo, maiyegto kenni Yahweh, a Mannakabalin-amin dagiti sagut manipud kadagiti tattao a natatayag ken nakikinis ti kudilna, manipud kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngan dagiti adda iti adayo ken iti asideg, maysa a napigsa ken nabileg a nasion, nga akin-daga iti biningay ti karayan, iti lugar ti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin -amin, iti Bantay ti Sion.
