Isaiah 13
1 [I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
Maysa a pakaammo maipapan iti Babilonia, a naawat ni Isaias a lalaki a putot ni Amos:
2 Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
Iti tapaw ti awan mulmulana a bantay ket mangikabilkayo iti bandera a pagilasinan, pukkawanyo ida, ipayapayyo ti imayo kadakuada tapno mapanda kadagiti ruangan dagiti natatakneng.
3 [Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
Binilinko dagiti katalekko, wen, inayabak dagiti maingel a tattaok a mangipalak-am iti pungtotko, kasta met dagiti tattaok a mangipanpannakkel kadagiti inaramidko.
4 Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
Adda arimbangaw iti adu a tattao iti kabanbantayan, arimbangaw ti adu unay a tattao! Ti ariwawa dagiti pagarian a kasla adu a nasion a naguummong! Um-ummungen ni Yahweh, a Mannakabalin-amin ti armada para iti gubat.
5 They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
Naggapuda iti adayo a pagilian, manipud iti nakaad-adayo a kasulsulinekan a pungto ti daga. Ni Yahweh ken dagiti aramatenna iti panangukom, a mangdadael iti entero a daga.
6 [You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
Agdung-awkayo, ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh; dumteng a nabuyugan iti pannakadadael manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin.
7 All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
Ngarud, malpayto amin nga ima ken kumapoy ti tunggal puso;
8 All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
Agbutengdanto iti kasta unay; agsagabadanto iti ut-ot ken ladingit, a kas iti babai nga agpaspasikal. Agkikinnitadanto gapu iti siddaaw; lumabbaganto dagiti rupada gapu iti bain.
9 Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
Kitaenyo, dumteng ti aldaw ni Yahweh ket awan asi iti panangdusana ken nalaus ti ungetna, ket pagbalinenna a langalang ti daga ken dadaelenna dagiti managbasol manipud iti daytoy.
10 [When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
Dagiti bituen ti langit ket saanto nga agraniag. Agsipngetto ti init uray iti parbangon, ken saanto nga agraniag ti bulan.
11 [Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
Dusaekto ti lubong gapu iti kinadakesna ken dagiti nadangkes gapu iti kinadakesda. Gibusakto ti kinapalangguad dagiti natangsit ken ipababakto ti kinapalangguad dagiti naulpit.
12 [And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
Pabassitek ti bilang dagiti lallaki ngem iti bilang iti puro a balitok ken pagbalinek a narigrigat a biruken ti tao ngem iti puro a balitok ti Ophir.
13 I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
Ngarud, pagkintayegekto ti langit, ket maiyalisto ti daga iti nakasaadanna, babaen iti pungtot ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ken iti aldaw ti nakabutbuteng a pungtotna.
14 And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
Kas iti naanupan nga ugsa wenno kas iti maysa a karnero nga awan ti pastorna, tunggal tao ket agsublinto kadagiti kaillianna ken iti bukodna a daga.
15 Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
Siasinoman a masarakan ket mapapatayto, ken siasinoman a matiliw ket matayto babaen iti kampilan.
16 Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
Iti imatangda, maibaut-baotto dagiti maladagada agingga nga agsisina dagiti bagida. Matagikuanto dagiti balbalayda ken maagaw ken maramesto dagiti assawada.
17 Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
Kitaenyo, dandanikon sugsogan dagiti taga-Media a mangraut kadakuada, a saanto a mangikankano iti pirak, wenno saan a maay-ayo iti balitok.
18 [With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
Duyukento dagiti panada dagiti agtutubo a lallaki. Awanto iti asida kadagiti maladaga ken saandanto a bay-an nga agbiag dagiti ubbing.
19 Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Kasta met ti Babilonia, ti kangrunaan a madaydayaw kadagiti pagarian, ti nadaeg a pagpanpannakkel dagiti Caldeo, ket parmekento ti Dios a kas iti Sodoma ken Gomora.
20 No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
Saanton a mapagtaengan wenno mapagnaedan pay dagiti henerasion. Saanto nga ipatakder ti Arab iti toldana sadiay, ken saanto a paginnanaen dagiti agpaspastor dagiti arbanda sadiay.
21 Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
Ngem agiddanto sadiay dagiti atap nga ayup iti let-ang. Mapunnonto dagiti balbalayda kadagiti kullaaw; ken aglagtu-lagtonto dagiti abestrus ken atap a kalding sadiay.
22 Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
Agtaguobto dagiti hyena kadagiti pagsammakedanda, ken agtaulto dagiti atap nga aso kadagiti napipintas a palasio. Asidegen ti tiempona, ken saanen a maitantan dagiti aldawna.
