Isaiah 29
1 Tragedy is coming to you Ariel, Ariel the city where David lived! Year after year you have your festivals.
Asi pay ti Ariel, Ariel, ti siudad a nagkampoan ni David! Kada tawen; agrambakkayo kadagiti fiesta.
2 But I'm going to cause trouble for Ariel; the city will cry and mourn, it will be like an altar hearth to me.
Ngem lakkubekto ti Ariel, ket agladingit ken agdung-awto daytoy; ket agbalinto daytoy kaniak a kas iti Ariel.
3 I will surround you, I will besiege you with towers and build ramps to attack you.
Agkampoakto iti aglawlawyo ket lakubenkayonto babaen kadagiti nangangato nga alad a naaramid iti natiradan a kayo, ken pangatoekto dagiti aramatek a panglakubko kadakayo.
4 You will be brought down, you will speak from where you're lying on the ground, mumbling in the dust. Your words will come like a ghost from the grave; your voice will be a whisper from the dust.
Maipababakayonto ken agsaokayonto manipud iti daga; agtaudto iti tapok ti saoyo. Kaslanto timek ti al-allia manipud iti uneg ti daga ti timekyo, ket nakapsutto unay ti saoyo manipud iti tapok.
5 But then all your enemies will become like fine dust; all your cruel oppressors like chaff that's blown away. Then suddenly, in no time at all,
Ti bunggoy dagiti mangraraut kadakayo ket kaslanto napino a tapok, ken kaslanto taep a maiyangin dagiti adu a naulpit a tattao. Mapasamakto daytoy a saan a mapakpakadaan, iti apagdarikmat.
6 the Lord Almighty will arrive with thunder, earthquake, and tremendous noise, with whirlwind, storm, and flames of fire that burn everything up.
Dusaennakayonto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin babaen iti gurruod, ginggined, napigsa a tagari, napigsa nga angin ken naranggas a bagyo, ken gil-ayab ti makauram nga apuy.
7 The nations besieging Ariel, attacking its fortifications and tormenting the people, they will all disappear as if it was a dream!
Maiyarigto daytoy iti maysa a tagtagainep, maysa a sirmata iti rabii: Ti bunggoy dagiti amin a nasion ket makirangetto iti Ariel ken iti sarikedked daytoy. Rautendanto daytoy ken dagiti pagsamsammakedan daytoy tapno maimameg daytoy.
8 It will be like someone hungry dreaming that they're eating but who wakes up still hungry. It will be like someone thirsty dreaming of drinking but who wakes up still weak and thirsty. This is what it will be like for all your enemies, the ones attacking Mount Zion.
Maiyarigto daytoy iti maysa a mabisin a tao nga agtagtagainep a mangmangan, ngem no makariing ket awan karga ti buksitna. Maiyarigto daytoy iti maysa a mawaw a tao nga agtagtagainep nga umin-inum, ngem no makariing ket matalimudaw isuna ken saan a maep-ep ti pannakawawna. Wen, ket kastanto ti kaiyarigan ti bunggoy dagiti nasion a mangraut iti Bantay Sion.
9 Be shocked and amazed! Make yourselves blind so you can't see! Get drunk, but not from wine! Stagger around, but not from beer!
Pagsiddaawenyo dagiti bagbagiyo ket agsiddaawkayo; pagbulsekenyo dagiti bagbagiyo ket agbulsekkayo! Agbartekkayo, ngem saan a babaen iti arak; agdiwerdiwerkayo ngem saan a gapu iti arak.
10 For the Lord has made you very sleepy, and he has shut the eyes and covered the heads of those who speak for God and see visions.
Ta imbukbok ni Yahweh kadakayo ti espiritu ti pannakarnek iti turog. Pinagkidemna dagiti matayo, dakayo a profeta, ken inabbunganna dagiti uloyo, dakayo a makakitkita iti masakbayan.
11 This entire vision is like words in a scroll that is sealed shut. If you give it to someone who knows how to read and say, “Please read it,” they'll say, “I can't read it because it's sealed shut.”
Dagiti amin a paltiing ket nagbalin kadakayo a kas kadagiti sasao iti libro a naselioan, a mabalin nga ited ti maysa a tao iti nakaadal, a kunana, “Basaem daytoy.” Kunana met, “Saanko a mabasa ta naselioan daytoy.”
12 If you give it to someone who doesn't know how to read and say, “Please read it,” they'll say, “I don't know how to read.”
No maited ti libro iti tao a saan a makabasa, kunana, “Basaem daytoy,” ibagana, “Saanak a makabasa.”
13 The Lord says, “These people come and praise me with their words, and honor me with lip service, but their thoughts are miles away. Their worship of me only consists of them following rules people have taught them.
Kinuna ti Apo, “Umas-asideg kaniak dagitoy a tattao babaen kadagiti ngiwatda ken daydayawendak babaen kadagiti bibigda, ngem adayo kaniak dagiti pusoda. Ti panangdaydayawda kaniak ket bilin nga insuro dagiti tattao.
14 So once again I will surprise these people with miracle upon miracle. The wisdom of the wise will die, and the insight of the insightful will disappear.”
Ngarud, kitaenyo, ituloykonto ti mangaramid iti nakaskasdaaw a banag kadagitoy a tattao, agsasaruno a nakakaskasdaaw. Agpukawto ti kinasirib dagiti masirib a tattaoda, ken mapukawto ti pannakaawat dagiti nanakman a tattaoda.”
15 Tragedy is coming to people who take such trouble to hide their plans from the Lord. They work in the dark and say to themselves, “Nobody can see us, can they? Nobody will know, will they?”
Asi pay dagiti nainget a mangilemmeng kadagiti panggepda kenni Yahweh, ken dagiti adda iti kinasipnget ti aramidda. Kunada, “Siasino koma ngay ti makakitkita kadatayo, ken makaam-ammo kadatayo?
16 How perverse you are! It's as if the clay was thought of as making the potter! Should something made say to its maker, “You didn't make me”? Can the pot tell the potter, “You don't understand anything”?
Binallikogyo dagiti banbanag! Mabalin kadi a maibilang a pitak ti agdamdamili, tapno ti banag a naaramid ket maibagana maipapan iti nangaramid kenkuana a, “Saannak nga inaramid,” wenno ti banag a nasukog ket ibagana maipapan iti nangsukog kenkuana a, “Saan isuna a makaawat?”
17 It won't be long and the forests of Lebanon will be turned into a productive field, and a productive field will seem like a forest.
Iti mabiit laeng a panawen, agbalinto a talon ti Lebanon, ken agbalinto a kabakiran ti talon.
18 At that time the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will see through the gloomy darkness what's written there.
Iti dayta nga aldaw mangngegto ti tuleng dagiti sasao ti maysa a libro, ken makakitanto dagiti mata ti bulsek manipud iti nakaro a sipnget.
19 The humble will be even happier in the Lord, and the poor will find their joy in the Holy One of Israel.
Agrag-onto manen kenni Yahweh dagiti naidadanes, ken agrag-onto iti Nasantoan ti Israel dagiti nakurapay a tattao.
20 Cruel people will no longer exist, the scornful will vanish, and those looking to do evil will be destroyed—
Ta agsardengto dagiti naulpit, ken agpukawto ti managuyaw. Dagiti amin a mangay-ayat nga agaramid iti dakes ket mapukawto,
21 those who say things to trick others into sin, those who trap people by legal arguments in court, those who lie to mislead the innocent.
dagiti tattao a ti saoda ket pagbalinenna a nakabasol ti maysa a tao. Mangipakatda iti silo para kadagiti mangbirbirok iti hustisia iti ruangan ken imamegda dagiti nalinteg babaen iti panagulbodda.
22 So this is what the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says to the descendants of Jacob: “You don't need to be ashamed anymore; your faces won't grow pale with fright any longer.
Ngarud, daytoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan iti balay ni Jacob— ni Yahweh, a nangsubbot kenni Abraham, “Saanton nga agbain ni Jacob, wenno agpusyaw ti rupana.
23 When you see all your children and everything I've done for you, then you will regard my character as holy, and you will respect the Holy One of Jacob. You will have reverence for the God of Israel.
Ngem inton makitana dagiti annakna, ti aramid dagiti imak, pagbalinendanto a nasantoan ti naganko. Pagbalinendanto a nasantoan ti nagan ti Nasantoan ni Jacob ken agbutengdanto iti Dios ti Israel.
24 Those who've gone astray will understand their mistakes; those who grumble will learn how to receive instruction.”
Dagiti agbiddut iti naespirituan ket magun-oddanto ti pannakaawat, ken makasursuronto dagiti managriri.”
