Isaiah 52
1 [You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
Agriingka, agriingka, pumigsaka, Sion, ikawesmo dagiti napipintas a pagan-anaymo, Jerusalem, nasantoan a siudad; ta saanton a pulos a makastrek kenka dagiti saan a nakugit wenno narugit.
2 People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
Pagpagem ti tapok iti bagim, tumakder ken agtugawka, Jerusalem; ikkatem ti kawar iti tengngedmo, naibalud a babbai nga annak ti Sion.
3 because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
Ta kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Nailakokayo nga awan bayadna, ket masubbotkayonto nga awan iti mausar a kuarta.”
4 Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
Ta kastoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, “Idi un-unana, simmalog dagiti tattaok iti Egipto tapno agnaed sadiay iti apagbiit; iti saan a nagbayag ket pinarigat ida ti Assiria.
5 But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
Ita, ania ti adda kaniak ditoy—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—kitkitaek dagiti tattaok a naiyadayo para iti awan? Aganug-ogto dagiti mangituray kadakuada—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—ket agmalmalem nga awan sarday a malalais ti naganko.
6 But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
Ngarud maamoanto dagiti tattaok ti naganko; maammoandanto iti dayta nga aldaw a siak ti nangibaga iti daytoy. Wen, siak!”
7 It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
Anian a nagpintas iti tapaw dagiti banbantay dagiti saka ti mensahero a mangidandanon kadagiti naimbag a damag, a mangiwarwaragawag iti kappia, a mangiyeg kadagiti naimbag a damdamag, a mangiwaragawag iti pannakaisalakan, a mangibaga iti Sion, “Agturturay ti Diosyo!”
8 The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
Dumngegkayo, ipukpukkaw dagiti agbanbantay kadakayo ti timekda, sangksangkamaysada nga agpukpukkaw gapu iti rag-o, ta makitadanto, kadagiti tunggal matada, ti panagsubli ni Yahweh idiay Sion.
9 Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
Agrag-okayo, agkanta a sangsangkamaysa, dakayo a nadadael iti Jerusalem; ta liniwliwa ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona; sinubbotna ti Jerusalem.
10 Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
Insagana ni Yahweh ti nasantoan a takkiagna iti imatang dagiti amin a nasion; makitanto ti entero a daga ti panangisalakan ti Diostayo.
11 So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
Pumanawkayo, pumanawkayo, rummuarkayo manipud sadiay; saanyo a sagiden ti narugit; pumanawkayo iti tengnga daytoy; dalusanyo dagiti bagbagiyo, dakayo a mangaw-awit kadagiti alikamen ni Yahweh.
12 But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
Ta saankayonto nga agap-apura a rummuar wenno pumanaw nga agdandanag; ta umun-unanto ni Yahweh ngem kadakayo; ken Dios ti Israel ti mangbantayto iti malikudanyo.
13 [Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
Kitaenyo, agtignayto a sisisirib ti adipenko ket agballiginto; maingatonto ken maital-o isuna; maitan-okto unay isuna.
14 But many people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a human.
Kas iti panagagamak ti adu kadakayo— nadadael iti kasta unay ti langana nga uray la kasla saanen a tao, isu a ti langana ket saan a mailasin a tao—
15 But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
isu a kellaatennanto dagiti adu a nasion; agulimekto dagiti ari gapu kenkuana. Ti saan a naibaga kadakuada, makitadanto, ken ti saanda a nangngeg, maawatandanto.
