Isaiah 26
1 Some day, [people in] Judah will sing this song: Our city [of Jerusalem] is strong! Yahweh protects our city; He is like [MET] a wall that surrounds it.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, maikantanto daytoy a kanta iti daga ti Juda: Addaankami iti natibker a siudad; inaramid ti Dios a pakaisalakanan dagiti pader ken dagiti sarikedked daytoy.
2 Open the gates of the city for people who are righteous; allow people who faithfully [obey Yahweh] to enter the city.
Lukatanyo dagiti ruangan, tapno makastrek ti nalinteg a nasion a mangsalsalimetmet iti pammati.
3 Yahweh, those who trust in you, those who firmly resolve to never doubt you, you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
Ti panunot a sitatalinaed kenka, ket pagtalinaedemto ti naan-anay a kinatalnana, ta agtaltalek daytoy kenka.
4 [So] always trust in Yahweh, because Yahweh, [our God], is forever [like] [MET] a huge rock [under which we are sheltered/protected/safe].
Agtalekka kenni Yahweh iti agnanayon; ta kenni Yah, ni Yahweh ket agnanayon a dakkel a bato.
5 He humbles proud people and destroys cities whose people are arrogant. He causes those cities to collapse into the dust/dirt.
Ta ipababananto dagiti agbibiag a sipapalangguad, ipababananto ti nasarikedkedan a siudad, rebbaennanto daytoy a naan-anay iti daga; ipatadnanto daytoy iti tapuk.
6 [When that happens], poor and oppressed people will trample on the ruins.
Ipayatpayatto dagiti napanglaw ken ibaddebaddekto dagiti marigrigat.
7 [But as for] righteous people, Yahweh, you do what is right; [it is as though] you cause the paths where they walk to be level and smooth.
Patad ti dalan dagiti nalinteg, O Apo a Nalinteg; palpalintegem ti dalan dagiti nalinteg.
8 Yahweh, by obeying your laws we show that we trust you to help us; and what we desire is that you will be honored/praised/exalted.
Wen iti wagas ti panangukommo, O Yahweh, urayendaka; ti nagan ken kinasin-awmo ti tarigagaymi.
9 [All] through the night I [SYN] desire to know you better, and each morning I still want to be with you. [Only] when you come to judge [and punish] people who live on the earth will they learn to do what is right.
Iti rabii, sapsapulenka; wen, sigagagar a birbirukennaka toy espirituk. Ta inton dumteng dagiti panangukommo ditoy daga, sursuroento dagiti agnanaed iti daga ti maipapan iti kinalinteg.
10 [But] your acting kindly toward wicked people does not cause them to do what is good. [Even] in places where people do what is right, the wicked people continue to do what is evil, and they do not realize that you, Yahweh, are great.
Uray mapakitaan iti asi ti nadangkes, saannanto a masursuro ti kinalinteg. Iti daga ti kinalinteg, dakes ti ar-aramidenna ket saanna a makita ti kinatan-ok ni Yahweh.
11 Yahweh, [it is as though] your fist is raised up [ready to strike them], but they do not realize that. Show them that you are very eager to help your people. If your enemies would realize that, they would be ashamed; allow your fire to burn them up [because they are] your enemies.
Yahweh, nakatag-ay ta imam, ngem saanda a makita. Ngem makitadanto ti kinagagarmo a mangbendision kadagiti tattao ket maibabaindanto, gapu ta alun-onento ida ti apuy dagiti kabusormo.
12 Yahweh, [we desire that] you will allow things to go well for us; everything that we have done is what you have enabled us to do.
O Yahweh, talna koma ti iyegmo kadakami; ta pudno a lineppasmo met para kadakami dagiti amin a trabahomi.
13 Yahweh, our God, others have ruled over us, but you [MTY] are the only one whom we honor.
O Yahweh a Diosmi, inturayandakami dagiti dadduma nga apo malaksid kenka; ngem ti naganmo laeng ti idaydayawmi.
14 Those who ruled us are [now] gone; they are dead; their spirits have left this earth, and they will not become alive [again]. You punished those rulers and got rid of them, and people do not even remember them any more.
Natayda, saandanto nga agbiag; natayda, saandanto a bumangon. Pudno unay, dimtengka a mangukom ken dinadaelmo ida, ket pinukawmo ti tunggal pakalaglagipan kadakuada.
15 Yahweh, you have enabled our nation to become great; we are more in [now], and we have more land, [so we] thank/praise you.
Pinadakkelmo ti nasion, O Yahweh, pinadakkelmo ti nasion; naidayawka; pinalawam ti amin a masakupan ti daga.
16 Yahweh, when we were distressed, we asked you [to help us]; when you disciplined/punished us, we were able only to whisper when we prayed to you.
Yahweh, iti tiempo ti riribuk, kimmitada kenka; nagiyebkasda pay kadagiti orasion a maibusor iti dakes idi dinisiplinaam ida.
17 Like pregnant women writhe and cry out when they are giving birth, we suffered very much, too.
Kas iti masikog nga umadanin nga agpasngay, agpasikal isuna ket agriaw iti panagpasikalna; kasta met ti napasaranmi iti sangoanam, Apo.
18 We had severe pain, but nothing good resulted [MET] from it. We have not rescued our people [from being conquered by our enemies], and we have not given birth to children [who will rule the world correctly] (OR, not defeated the armies [that have attacked other nations].
Nagsikogkami, nagpasikalkami, ngem kasla la naganakkami laeng iti angin. Saankami a nangyeg iti pannakaisalakan ditoy daga, ket saan a natnag dagiti agbibiag iti lubong.
19 But Yahweh’s people who have died will become alive [again], their corpses will become alive! Those whose bodies lie in graves will rise and shout joyfully! His light will be [like] dew that falls on his people who have died, who are [now] in the place where the dead people are, [and will cause them to become alive again].
Agbiagto dagiti minatayyo, bumangonto dagiti minataymi. Agriingkayo ket agkantakayo gapu iti rag-o, dakayo nga adda iti tapuk; gapu ta ti linnaawyo ket ti linnaw dagiti ruot, ket agungarto manen dagiti natay manipud iti daga.
20 But now, my people/fellow-citizens, go home and lock your doors! Hide for a short time, until [Yahweh] is no longer angry.
Mapankayo, tattaok, sumrekkayo kadagiti siledyo ket iserrayo dagiti ridaw iti likudanyo; aglemmengkayo pay laeng, agingga nga agbaaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh.
21 Listen to this: Yahweh will come from heaven to punish [all] the people on the earth for the sins that they have committed. People will be able to see [PRS] the (blood of those/the people) who have been murdered; their murderers will no longer be able to hide.
Ta, kitaenyo, umadanin a rummuar ni Yahweh iti ayanna a mangdusa kadagiti agbibiag iti daga gapu kadagiti basolda; ikkatento ti daga ti naiyabbong iti nagsayasay a dara iti daga, ket saanton a mailemmeng ti daga dagiti napapatay nga adda iti daytoy.
