< Isaiah 45 >

1 This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh iti pinulotanna, kenni Ciro, a kinibinko ti makannawan nga imana, tapno maiturayanna dagiti nasion iti sangoananna, tapno maikkatan iti igam dagiti ar-ari, ken tapno malukatan dagiti ruangan iti sangoananna, tapno silulukat latta dagiti ruangan:
2 I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
“Umun-unaakto kenka ket patagek dagiti banbantay; burakburakekto dagiti ruangan a bronse ken tuktukkolekto dagiti landok a balunetda,
3 I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
ken itedkonto kenka dagiti gameng ti kinasipnget ken dagiti kinabaknang a naidulin, tapno maammoam a siak a ni Yahweh, ti mangaw-awag kenka babaen iti naganmo, Siak a Dios ti Israel.
4 I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
Para iti pagsayaatan ti adipenko a ni Jacob, ken ti Israel a pinilik, inawaganka babaen iti naganmo: inikkanka iti pakaidayawam, numan pay saannak nga am-ammo.
5 I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
Siak ni Yahweh, ket awanen ti sabali pay; awanen ti Dios no di siak laeng. Ikkanka iti igam para iti gubat, numan pay saannak nga am-ammo;
6 so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
tapno maammoan dagiti tattao manipud iti pagsingsingisingan ti init, ken manipud iti laud, nga awan ti dios no di siak laeng: Siak ni Yahweh, ket awanen ti sabali pay.
7 I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
Inaramidko ti lawag ken pinarsuak ti kinasipnget; inyegko ti talna ken mangar-aramidak kadagiti didigra; Siak ni Yahweh, a mangar-aramid kadagitoy amin a banbanag.
8 Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
Dakayo a langit, agtudokayo! Bay-an nga agtudo ti tangatang iti kinalinteg a pannakaisalakan. Sagepsepen koma daytoy ti daga, tapno agrusing koma ti pannakaisalakan, ken agtubo met ti kinalinteg. Siak, a ni Yahweh, ket pinarsuak dagitoy a dua.
9 What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
Asi pay ti siasinoman a makisinnupiat iti nangaramid kenkuana! Maysa a banga kadagiti amin a banga iti daga! Nasken kadi nga ibaga ti pila iti agdamdamili, 'Ania ti ar-aramidem?' wenno, 'Ania ti inar-aramidmo—awan kadi imam idi inaramidmo daytoy?'
10 How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
Asi pay ti agkuna iti maysa nga ama, 'Ania ngay daytoy nga iputotmo?' wenno iti maysa nga ina, 'Ania ngay daytoy nga ipasngaymo?'
11 This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Nasantoan ti Israel, a Namarsua kenkuana: 'Maipapan kadagiti banbanag a mapasamakto, tubngarennak kadi maipanggep kadagiti annakko? Ibagam kadi kaniak no ania ti aramidek maipapan kadagiti aramid dagiti imak?'
12 I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
Inaramidko ti daga ken pinarsuak ti tao iti rabaw daytoy. Dagiti imak ti nangiyukrad kadagiti langit, ken imbilinko kadagiti amin a bitbituen nga agparangda.
13 Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
Tinignayko ni Ciro iti kinalinteg, ken papintasekto dagiti amin a pagnaanna. Bangonennanto ti suidadko; paawidennanto dagiti tattaok a naitalaw a kas balud, ket saan a gapu iti bayad wenno pasuksok,”' kuna ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
14 This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Dagiti urnong ti Egipto ken dagiti tagilako ti Etiopia agraman dagiti Sabeos a natatayag a tattao, ket maiyegto kenka. Kukuamto amin dagitoy. Surutendakanto, nakakawardanto nga umay. Agruknoydanto kenka ken makipakpakaasidanto kenka a kunada, 'Awan duadua nga adda kenka ti Dios, ken awanen ti sabali no di laeng isuna.’”
15 Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
Pudno a sika ti Dios a saan a makitkita, Dios ti Israel, a Mannangisalakan.
16 Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
Maibabaindanto amin ken sangsangkamaysadanto a maipababa; dagiti agkitkitikit kadagiti didiosen ket agbiagto iti pannakaibabain.
17 But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
Ngem isalakanto ni Yahweh ti Israel iti agnanayon a pannakaisalakan; saankanto a pulos a maibabain manen.
18 For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a namarsua kadagiti langit, ti pudno a Dios a namarsua iti daga ken nangaramid iti daytoy, ti nangipasdek iti daytoy. Inaramidna daytoy, saan a kas maysa a langalang, ngem inaramidna daytoy a pagnaedan: “Siak ni Yahweh, ket awanen sabali pay.
19 I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
Saan a nalimed ti pannakisaritak, kadagiti nalimed a lugar; saanko nga imbaga kadagiti kaputotan ni Jacob, 'Sapulendak!' ket awan gayam serbi iti panangsapulda kaniak. Siak ni Yahweh, a sipupudno nga agsasao; ibagbagak dagiti nalinteg a banbanag.
20 Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
Aguummongkayo ket umaykayo! Aguummongkayo amin, dakayo a napagtalaw manipud kadagiti nasion! Maagda, dagiti mangaw-awit kadagiti imahen ken dagiti agkarkararag kadagiti didiosen a saan a makaisalakan.
21 Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
Umasidegkayo ket ibagayo kaniak, iparangyo dagiti pammaneknek! Agkaykaysada koma nga agpanggep. Siasino ti nangipakita iti daytoy idi un-unana? Siasino ti nangiwaragawag iti daytoy? Saan kadi a Siak, a ni Yahweh? Ken awanen ti Dios malaksid kaniak, maysa a nalinteg a Dios ken Mangisalakan; awan iti sabali no di laeng siak.
22 Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
Agsublikayo kaniak ket maisalakankayo, amin a pungto ti daga; ta siak ti Dios, ket awanen ti sabali a dios.
23 I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
'Agsapataak, ibagak ti nalinteg a pagannurotak, ken saanto a maibabawi daytoy: Agparintumengto kaniak ti tunggal tumeng, agkarinto kaniak ti tunggal dila.
24 They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
Ibagbagana, “Kenni Yahweh laeng ti pannakaisalakan ken pigsa.''''' Amin dagiti makaunget kenkuana ket agbainto iti msangngoananna.
25 But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
Kenni Yahweh, amin dagiti kaputotan ti Israel ket maibilangto a nalinteg; agpannakkeldanto gapu iti naaramidanna.
