Isaiah 61
1 The Spirit of Yahweh [our] Lord is on me; he has appointed [MTY] me to bring good news to those who are oppressed, to comfort those who are discouraged, to free [all] those who are [as though they are chained/tied] [DOU] [by the wrong things that they continually do].
Ti Espiritu ti Apo a ni Yahweh ket adda kaniak, gapu ta pinulotannak ni Yahweh a mangiwaragawag iti naimbag a damdamag kadagiti napakumbaba. Imbaonnak a mangpaimbag kadagiti napasakitan, a mangiwaragawag iti pannakawayawaya kadagiti balud, ken ti pannakalukat ti pagbaludan para kadagiti naipupok.
2 He has sent me to tell those who mourn [about the members of their families who died] (OR, [who are still in Babylonia)] that now is the time when Yahweh will act kindly [toward his people]; now is the time when our God will (get revenge on/punish) [their enemies].
Imbaonnak a mangiwaragawag iti tawen ti parabur ni Yahweh, ti aldaw iti panagibales ti Diostayo, ken mangliwliwa kadagiti amin nga agladladingit —
3 To [all] those in Jerusalem who mourn, he will give flower necklaces [to wear]; instead of ashes [that they put on their heads to show that they are sad]; he will cause them to rejoice [MTY] instead of being sad; he will enable them to be [MET] happy instead of being discouraged. They will be called “people who continually do what is right, people who are [like tall/strong] oak [trees] that Yahweh has planted” to show others that he is very great.
a mangisagana iti lugar para kadagiti agladladingit idiay Sion — a mangted kadakuada iti maysa a turban a kasukat dagiti dapo, iti lana ti kinarag-o imbes a panagladingit, iti nagayad a kawes a pangdayaw a kasukat iti espiritu ti kinaliday, tapno mapanagananda iti lugo ti kinalinteg, dagiti mulmula ni Yahweh tapno maidaydayaw isuna.
4 [Those who return from Babylon] will rebuild the cities that [the soldiers from Babylon] tore down. [Even though] those cities have been destroyed and abandoned for many years, they will be restored/rebuilt.
Ibangondanto manen dagiti nadadael idi un-unana a panawen; tarimaanenda dagiti siguden a nadadael. Ibangondanto manen dagiti nadadael a siudad, dagiti nadadael manipud kadagiti immuna a henerasion.
5 Foreigners will be the ones who will take care of your flocks [of sheep and goats], and plow your fields and take care of your grapevines.
Tumakderto dagiti ganggannaet ket pakanenda dagiti arbanyo, ken agtrabahonto kadagiti kataltalunan ken kaubasanyo dagiti lallaki nga annak dagiti ganggannaet.
6 But you [are the ones who] will be like the priests to serve Yahweh, to work for God. You will enjoy valuable goods [that are brought] from other nations, and you will be happy that those things have become yours.
Maawagankayonto a papadi ni Yahweh; awagandakayonto iti adipen ti Diostayo. Kanenyonto ti kinabaknang dagiti nasion, ket agpannakkelyonto gapu iti kinabaknangda.
7 Previously you were shamed and disgraced, but now you will have great blessings; previously [your enemies] humbled you, but now you will have many good things; you will be happy because of being in your land again, and you will rejoice forever.
Imbes a ti pannakaibabainyo, maaddaankayonto iti mamindua a bingay; ken imbes a pannakalais, agrag-odanto gapu kadagiti bingayda. Maaddaandanto ngarud iti mamindua a bingay iti dagada; kukuadanto ti agnanayon a rag-o.
8 “I, Yahweh, am very pleased with those/judges who decide matters fairly; I hate [those who illegally] take things from other people. I will surely repay my people (for/because of) all that they have suffered [in the past]. And I will make an everlasting agreement with them.
Ta siak a ni Yahweh, napateg kaniak ti hustisia, ket kagurak ti panagtakaw ken kinaranggas. Supapakakto dagiti tattaok, ket tungpalekto ti agnanayon a katulagak kadakuada.
9 Their descendants will be honored by people of other nations [DOU]. Everyone who sees them will know that they are a nation that [I], Yahweh, have blessed.”
Nalatakto dagiti kaputotanda kadagiti nasion, kasta met dagiti an-annakda kadagiti tattao. Bigbigento ida dagiti amin a makakita kadakuada, nga isuda dagiti tattao a binendisionan ni Yahweh.
10 I greatly rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]! I am happy, because he has saved me and declared that I am righteous; [those blessings are like] [MET] a robe that he has put on me. I am [as happy as] [SIM] a bridegroom in his wedding suit, or a bride wearing jewels.
Agrag-oakto iti kasta unay kenni Yahweh; agragsakakto iti kasta unay iti Diosko. Ta kinawesannak kadagiti pagan-anay ti pannakaisalakan; kinawesannak iti nagayad a kagay ti kinalinteg, kas iti maysa a nobio a nakaturban, ken kas iti nobia a nakaalahas.
11 Just as [seeds sown in] a garden sprout from the soil and grow [DOU], Yahweh [our] God will cause [people of] all nations to act righteously, with the result that they will praise him for doing that.
Ta kas iti panangparusing ti daga kadagiti mula, ken kas iti panangpadakkel ti minuyongan kadagiti naimula iti daytoy, pataudento met ni Yahweh nga Apo ti kinalinteg ken panagdayaw iti sangoanan dagiti amin a nasion.
