Isaiah 29
1 [This is a message from Yahweh: ] Terrible things will happen to Jerusalem, the city where [King] David lived. You people continue to celebrate your festivals each year.
Asi pay ti Ariel, Ariel, ti siudad a nagkampoan ni David! Kada tawen; agrambakkayo kadagiti fiesta.
2 But I will cause you to experience a great disaster, [and when that happens], people will weep and lament [very much]. Your city will become like [MET] an altar [to me] [where people are burned as sacrifices].
Ngem lakkubekto ti Ariel, ket agladingit ken agdung-awto daytoy; ket agbalinto daytoy kaniak a kas iti Ariel.
3 I will cause your enemies [to come to your city]; they will surround it by [building] towers and putting in place other things with which 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 Then you will talk [as though you were] buried deep in the ground [DOU]; it will sound like someone whispering from under the ground, like [SIM] a ghost speaking from a grave.
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, suddenly your enemies will be blown away like dust; their armies will disappear like [SIM] chaff that is blown away [by the wind]. [It will happen] very suddenly.
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 Commander of the armies of angels will come [to help you] with thunder and an earthquake and a very loud noise, with a strong wind and a big storm and a fire that will burn up everything.
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 [Then] the armies of all the nations that will be attacking Jerusalem will quickly disappear like a dream in the night [DOU]. Those who will be attacking Jerusalem will suddenly vanish/disappear.
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 People who are asleep dream about eating food, [but] when they wake up, they are still hungry. People who are thirsty dream about drinking something, [but] when they wake up they are still thirsty. It will be like that when your enemies come to attack Zion Hill; [they will dream about conquering you, but when they wake up, ] [they will realize that they have not succeeded].
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 You [people of Jerusalem], be amazed and surprised [about this] [IRO]! Do not believe [what I have said] [SAR]! And continue to be blind [IRO] [about what Yahweh is doing]. You are stupid, but it is not because you have drunk a lot of wine. You stagger, but not from drinking alcoholic drinks.
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 Because Yahweh has prevented the prophets [DOU] from understanding [and telling you his messages], [it is as though] he has caused you to be fast/deeply asleep.
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 [Yahweh gave me] this vision; [but] for you, it is only words on a scroll that is sealed shut. If you give it to those who can read [and request that they read it], they will say, “We cannot read it because the scroll is sealed.”
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 When you give it to [others] who cannot read, they will say, “[We cannot read it because] we do not know how to read.”
No maited ti libro iti tao a saan a makabasa, kunana, “Basaem daytoy,” ibagana, “Saanak a makabasa.”
13 [So] the Lord says, “These people say that they belong to me. They honor me by what they say [MTY], but they do not think [IDM] about what I [desire]. When they worship me, all they do is recite rules that people have made and that they have memorized.
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 Therefore, again I will do something to amaze these people; I will perform many miracles. And [I will show that] the people [who tell others that they] are wise are not really wise, and [I will show that] the people [who tell others that they] are intelligent are not really intelligent.
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 Terrible things will happen to those who try to conceal from me, Yahweh, the [evil] things that they plan to do; they do those things in the darkness and they think, ‘Yahweh certainly cannot [RHQ] see us; he cannot [RHQ] know what we are doing!’
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 They are extremely foolish! [They act as though] they were the potters and I was the clay! Something that was created should certainly never [RHQ] say to the one who made it, ‘You did not make me!’ A jar should never say, ‘The potter who made me did not know what he was doing!’”
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 Soon [the forests in] Lebanon will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fields, and that will happen very soon.
Iti mabiit laeng a panawen, agbalinto a talon ti Lebanon, ken agbalinto a kabakiran ti talon.
18 At that time, deaf people will [be able to hear]; [they will be able to] hear when someone reads from a book; and blind people will [be able to see]; [they will be able to] see things when it is gloomy and [even] when it is dark.
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 Yahweh will enable humble people to be very joyful again. Poor people will rejoice about what the Holy One of Israel [has done].
Agrag-onto manen kenni Yahweh dagiti naidadanes, ken agrag-onto iti Nasantoan ti Israel dagiti nakurapay a tattao.
20 There will be no more people who ridicule [others] and no more arrogant people. And those who plan to do evil things will be executed.
Ta agsardengto dagiti naulpit, ken agpukawto ti managuyaw. Dagiti amin a mangay-ayat nga agaramid iti dakes ket mapukawto,
21 Those who testify falsely in order to persuade judges to punish innocent people will vanish/disappear. Similar things will happen to those who by lying in court [persuade judges to] make unjust decisions.
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 That is why Yahweh, who rescued Abraham, says about the people of Israel, “My people will no longer be ashamed; no longer will they show on their faces that they are ashamed.
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 they see that I have blessed them by giving them many children and doing many other things for them, they will realize that I am the Holy One of Israel, and they will revere me, the God to whom they, the descendants of Jacob, belong.
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 When that happens, those who have not been able to think well will think clearly, and those who complain [about what I am doing] will accept what I am teaching them.”
Dagiti agbiddut iti naespirituan ket magun-oddanto ti pannakaawat, ken makasursuronto dagiti managriri.”
