< Isaiah 48 >

1 Hear ye these things, O house of Jacob, you that are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Juda, you who swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in justice.
Denggenyo daytoy, balay ni Jacob, a naawagan iti nagan nga Israel, ken nagtaud iti kaputotan ti Juda; dakayo nga agsapsapata iti nagan ni Yahweh ken umaw-awag iti Dios ti Israel, ngem saan nga iti kinapudno wenno iti nalinteg a wagas.
2 For they are called of the holy city, and are established upon the God of Israel: the Lord of hosts is his name.
Ta awaganda dagiti bagida a tattao iti nasantoan a siudad ken agtaltalek iti Dios ti Israel; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
3 The former things of old I have declared, and they went forth out of my mouth, and I have made them to be heard: I did them suddenly and they came to pass.
“Naipakaammokon dagiti banbanag manipud idi; nagtaud dagitoy iti ngiwatko, ken naipakaammok dagitoy; kalpasanna, inaramidko a dagus dagitoy, ket napasamak dagitoy.
4 For I knew that thou art stubborn, and thy neck is as an iron sinew, and thy forehead as brass.
Gapu ta ammok a natangken ti uloyo, kas katangken ti landok ti piskel ti tengngedyo ken kasla bronse ti mugingyo,
5 I foretold thee of old, before they came to pass I told thee, lest thou shouldst say: My idols have done these things, and my graven and molten things have commanded them.
isu nga impakaammokon dagitoy a banbanag kadakayo idi; sakbay a napasamak dagitoy, impakaammokon kadakayo tapno saanyo nga ibaga nga, 'Ti didiosek iti nangaramid kadagitoy,' wenno 'ti imahen a kayo wenno ti imahen a landok ti nangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag.'
6 See now all the things which thou hast heard: but have you declared them? I have shewn thee new things from that time, and things are kept which thou knowest not:
Nangngegyo ti maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag, kitaenyo amin daytoy a pammaneknek; ket dakayo, saanyo kadi nga aklunen a pudno dagitoy nga imbagak? Manipud ita, mangipakitaak kadakayo iti baro a banbanag a nailemmeng a saanyo pay a naammoan.
7 They are created now, and not of old: and before the day, when thou heardest them not, lest thou shouldst say: Behold I knew them.
Rimsuada ita a saan ket nga idi, ken saanyo pay a nangngeg ti maipapan kadagitoy sakbay daytoy nga aldaw, isu a saanyo a maibaga, 'Wen, ammok ti maipapan kadagitoy.'
8 Thou hast neither heard, nor known, neither was thy ear opened of old. For I know that transgressing thou wilt transgress, and I have called thee a transgressor from the womb.
Saanyo a pulos a nangngeg; saanyo nga ammo; saan idi a nailawlawag dagitoy a bambanag kadagiti lapayagyo. Ta ammok a manangallilawkayo unay, ken nasukirkayon sipud pay pannakaiyanakyo.
9 For my name’s sake I will remove my wrath far off: and for my praise I will bridle thee, lest thou shouldst perish.
Para iti naganko, lapdakto ti ungetko, ken gapu iti dayawko ket saanko nga ituloy ti panangdadaelko kadakayo.
10 Behold I have refined thee, but not as silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of poverty.
Kitaenyo, ginugorankayo, ngem saan a kas iti pirak; pinasin-awkayo iti hurno ti panagsagaba.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake will I do it, that I may not be blasphemed: and I will not give my glory to another.
Para iti bukodko a pagimbagan, gapu iti bukodko a pagimbagan nga agtignayakto; ta kasano nga ipalubosko a maibabain ti naganko? Saankonto nga ited ti dayagko iti sabali.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and thou Israel whom I call: I am he, I am the first, and I am the last.
Dumngegkayo kaniak, Jacob ken Israel nga inayabak: Siak isuna; siak ti umuna ken siak met laeng ti maudi.
13 My hand also hath founded the earth, and my right hand hath measured the heavens: I shall call them, and they shall stand together.
Wen, ti imak ti nangisaad iti pundasion ti daga, ken ti makannawan nga imak ti nangiyaplag kadagiti langit; no awagak ida, sangsangkamaysada a tumakder.
14 Assemble yourselves together, all you, and hear: who among them hath declared these things? the Lord hath loved him, he will do his pleasure in Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Aguummongkayo, dakayo amin, ket dumngegkayo; Siasino kadakayo ti nangiwaragawag kadagitoy a babanag? Aramidento ti katulongan ni Yahweh ti gandatna iti Babilonia. Aramidennanto ti pagayatan ni Yahweh maibusor kadagiti Caldeo.
15 I, even I have spoken and called him: I have brought him, and his way is made prosperous.
Siak, nasaokon, wen, pinaayabakon isuna, inyegkon isuna, ket agballiginto.
16 Come ye near unto me, and hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning: from the time before it was done, I was there, and now the Lord God hath sent me, and his spirit.
Umasidegkayo kaniak, dumngegkayo iti daytoy; manipud idi punganay saanak a nagsao iti nalimed; no mapasamak daytoy, addaak sadiay; ket ita imbaonnak ni Apo a Yahweh, ken ti Espirituna.”
17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God that teach thee profitable things, that govern thee in the way that thou walkest.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbotyo, a Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a mangisursuro kadakayo no kasano ti agballigi, a mangidaldalan kadakayo iti rumbeng a dalan a papananyo.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,
No tinungpalyo laeng koma dagiti bilbilinko! Ket nagayus koma a kasla karayan ti kapia ken panagrang-ayyo, ken ti pannakaisalakanyo ket kasla kadagiti dalluyon ti baybay.
19 And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.
Nagbalin koma a kas kaadu ti darat dagiti kaputotanyo, ken dagiti annak kadagiti aanakanyo ket kas kaadu dagiti binukel ti darat; saan koma a napukaw ti naganda iti sangoanak.
20 Come forth out of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, declare it with the voice of joy: make this to be heard, and speak it out even to the ends of the earth. Say: The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Rummuarkayo iti Babilonia! Panawanyo dagiti Caldeo! Ipukkawyo nga iwaragawag daytoy! Ipakaammoyo daytoy, padanunenyo daytoy agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga! Ibagayo, 'Inispal ni Yahweh ni Jacob nga adipenna.'
21 They thirsted not in the desert, when he led them out: he brought forth water out of the rock for them, and he clove the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Saanda a nawaw idi inturongna ida kadagiti disierto; pinagayusna ti danum manipud iti bato para kadakuada; binittakna ti bato ket pimsuak ti danum.
22 There is no peace to the wicked, saith the Lord.
Awan iti talna para kadagiti nadangkes—kuna ni Yahweh.”
