< Isaiah 49 >

1 Pay attention, you islands, and listen closely, you far away peoples. The Lord has called me from the womb; from the womb of my mother, he has been mindful of my name.
Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo nga isla! Ket ipangagyo, dakayo a tattao nga adda iti adayo. Inawagannak ni Yahweh sipud pannakaiyanakko babaen iti naganko, idi impasngaynak ti inak ditoy lubong.
2 And he has appointed my mouth as a sharp sword. In the shadow of his hand, he has protected me. And he has appointed me as an elect arrow. In his quiver, he has hidden me.
Inaramidna a kasla natadem a kampilan ti ngiwatko; inlemmengnak iti anniniwan ti imana; inaramidnak a maysa a napasileng a pana; inlemmengnak iti tagubanna.
3 And he has said to me: “You are my servant, Israel. For in you, I will glory.”
Kinunana kaniak, “Sika ti adipenko, Israel, a pangipakitaak iti dayagko.”
4 And I said: “I have labored toward emptiness. I have consumed my strength without purpose and in vain. Therefore, my judgment is with the Lord, and my work is with my God.”
Uray no impagarupko nga awan serbi ti inaramidko, a nagbannogak iti awan kaes-eskanna, Uray no kasta, ti hustisiak ket adda kenni Yahweh, ken ti gunggonak ket adda iti Diosko.
5 And now, says the Lord, who formed me from the womb as his servant, so that I may bring back Jacob to him, for Israel will not be gathered together, but I have been glorified in the eyes of the Lord and my God has become my strength,
Ket ita nagsaon ni Yahweh, isuna a nangsukog kaniak sipud pannakaiyanakko nga agbalin nga adipenna, tapno maisubli manen kenkuana ni Jacob, ken tapno maisubli ti Israel kenkuana. Napadayawanak iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket ti Diosko ti nagbalin a pigsak.
6 and so he has said: “It is a small thing that you should be my servant so as to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and so as to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have offered you as a light for the Gentiles, so that you may be my salvation, even to the furthest regions of the earth.”
Kunana a, “Bassit unay a banag para kenka ti agbalin nga adipenko a mangipasdek manen kadagiti tribu ni Jacob, ken mangisubli kadagiti nakalasat iti Israel. Pagbalinenkanto a silaw kadagiti Hentil, tapno agbalinka a mangisalakanko agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga.”
7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to a contemptible soul, to an abominable nation, to the servant of lords: The kings will see, and the princes will rise up, and they will adore, because of the Lord. For he is faithful, and he is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbot ti Israel, a Nasantoan, iti daydiay naumsi ti biagna a kinagura dagiti nasion, ken adipen dagiti agtuturay, “Makitadakanto dagiti ari ket tumakderda, ken makitadakanto dagiti prinsipe ket agtameddanto gapu kenni Yahweh a napudno, ken Nasantoan ti Israel, a nangpili kenka.”
8 Thus says the Lord: In a pleasing time, I have heeded you, and in the day of salvation, I have assisted you. And I have preserved you, and I have presented you as a covenant of the people, so that you would lift up the earth, and possess the scattered inheritances,
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Inton dumteng ti kanito nga ingkeddengko a pangipakitaak iti kinasayaatko kenka, sungbatankayto, ken iti aldaw ti pannakaisalakan, tulongankanto; salaknibankanto, ken itedkanto a kas tulag kadagiti tattao, a mangbangon manen iti daga, tapno ited manen ti langalang a tawid.
9 so that you would say to those who are bound, “Go forth!” and to those who are in darkness, “Be released!” They will pasture along the roads, and their pastures will be in every open place.
Ibagamto kadagiti balud, 'Rummuarkayo;' kadagiti adda iti nasipnget a pagbaludan, 'Agparangkayo.' Agarabdanto iti igid dagiti dalan, ken kadagiti amin a tapaw ti langalang a turod ti pakaipasturandanto.
10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the heat of the sun beat down upon them. For the one who takes pity on them will rule them, and he will give them to drink from fountains of waters.
Saandanto a mabisin wenno mawaw; wenno mapudotan iti init, ta idalanto ida ti mangngaasi kadakuada; iturongnanto ida kadagiti ubbog ti danum.
11 And I will make all my mountains into a road, and my paths will be exalted.
Ket pagbalinekto a kalsada dagiti amin a bantayko, ken pagbalinekto a patad dagiti kalsadak.”
12 Behold, some will come from far away, and behold, others from the north and from the sea, and still others from the land of the south.
Kitaem, aggapunto dagitoy iti adayo, adda naggapu iti amianan ken iti laud; ken naggapu dagiti dadduma iti daga ti Sinim.
13 Give praise, O heavens! And exult, O earth! Let the mountains give praise with jubilation! For the Lord has consoled his people, and he will take pity on his poor ones.
Agkantakayo, O langlangit, ken agrag-oka, O daga, agkantakayo, dakayo a banbantay! Ta liwliwaen ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona, ket kaasiannanto dagiti agsagsagaba.
14 And Zion said: “The Lord has abandoned me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”
Ngem kinuna ti Sion, “Binaybay-annak ni Yahweh, ken linipatnak ti Apo.”
15 Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to take pity on the child of her womb? But even if she would forget, still I shall never forget you.
“Malipatan kadi ti babai ti maladagana, a paspasusoenna iti barukongna, isu a saanna a kaasian ti impasngayna nga anakna? Wen, mabalin a malipatanda, ngem saankayonto a malipatan.
16 Behold, I have engraved you on my hands. Your walls are always before my eyes.
Kitaem, inkitikitko ti naganyo kadagiti dakulapko; adda a kanayon iti sangoanak dagiti padermo.
17 Your builders have arrived. Those who would tear you down and destroy you, they will depart from you.
Agdardaras nga agsubli dagiti annakmo, kabayatan nga umad-adayo dagiti nangdadael kenka.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these have been gathered together; they have come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you shall be clothed with all these things, as if with an ornament. And like a bride, you shall wrap these things all around you.
Kumitaka iti aglawlawmo ket makitam, aguummongda amin nga um-umay kenka. Iti isapatak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—nga usaremto dagitoy a kasla alahas; isuotmonto dagitoy, a kas iti maysa a nobia.
19 For your deserts, and your solitary places, and the land of your ruination will now be too narrow, because of all the inhabitants. And those who devoured you will be chased far away.
Uray no naglangalang ken nabaybay-anka, maysa a nadadael a daga, ita agbalinka a bassit unay para kadagiti agnanaed, ket maidayonto dagiti nangdadael kenka.
20 Even the children of your barrenness will say in your ears: “This place is too narrow for me. Make me a spacious place in which to dwell.”
Kunaento kenka dagiti ubbing a maiyanak iti tiempo ti pannakaulilak 'Nailet unay daytoy a lugar para kadakami, iyaramidannakami iti siled tapno makapagnaedkami ditoy.'
21 And you will say in your heart: “Who has conceived them? I was barren and unable to give birth. I was taken away and held captive. And so, who has raised them? I was destitute and alone. And so, where have they been?”
Ket damagemto iti bagim, “Siasino ti nangipasngay kadagitoy nga ubbing para kaniak? Naulilaak iti annak ken saanakon a makaanak, naipanaw kas balud ken naisina. Siasino ti nangpadakkel kadagitoy nga ubbing? Kitaem, nabatiak nga agmaymaysa; sadino ti naggapuan dagitoy?'”
22 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and I will exalt my sign before the peoples. And they will carry your sons in their arms, and they will bear your daughters on their shoulders.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Kitaem, Ingatokto ti imak kadagiti nasion; ingatokto ti banderak a pagilasinan dagiti tattao. Ubbaendanto nga iyeg dagiti annakmo a lallaki ken sallabayendanto dagiti annakmo a babbai.
23 And kings will be your caretakers, and queens will be your nursemaids. They will reverence you with their face to the ground, and they will lick the dust at your feet. And you will know that I am the Lord. For those who hope in him will not be confounded.
Dagitinto ari ti pannakaamam, ken dagitinto reynada ti mangaywan kenka; agkurnodanto kenka a nakadekket ti rupada iti daga ket dilpatandanto ti tapok kadagiti sakam; ket maammoamto a siak ni Yahweh; dagiti a makauray kaniak ket saanto a maibabain.”
24 Can prey be taken from the strong? Or is anything taken captive by the powerful able to be saved?
Maala kadi dagiti nasamsam manipud kadagiti mannakigubat, wenno maispal kadi dagiti balud manipud iti nauyong nga agturay?
25 For thus says the Lord: Certainly, even the captives will be taken away from the strong, even what has been taken by the powerful will be saved. And truly, I will judge those who have judged you, and I will save your children.
Ngem kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Wen, maitalawto dagiti balud manipud kadagiti mannakigubat ken maisublinto dagiti sinamsam gapu ta karangetkonto ti kabusormo ken isalakanko dagiti annakmo.
26 And I will feed your enemies their own flesh. And they will be inebriated with their own blood, as with new wine. And all flesh will know that I am the Lord, who saves you, and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
Ket ipakankonto kadagiti mangparparigat kenka ti bukodda a lasag; ken mabartekdanto iti bukodda a dara, a kasla la daytoy ket arak; ket maammoanto ti amin a sangkataoan a siak, a ni Yahweh, ti Mangisalakanmo ken ti Mannubbotmo, ti Mannakabalin a Dios ni Jacob.”
