< Isaiah 66 >

1 Yahweh [also] said this: “[All of] heaven is [like] my throne, and the whole earth is [like] my footstool. So you could certainly not [RHQ] build a house [that would be adequate] for me to live in and rest!
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Ti langit ti tronok, ken ti daga ti pagbatayan dagiti sakak. Sadino ngarud ti balay nga ipatakderyo a maipaay kaniak? Sadino ti lugar a mabalinko a paginanaan?
2 I [MTY] have created everything; all things exist because I made them. [That is true because I], Yahweh, have said it. The people I am [most] pleased with are those who are humble, who [patiently endure it when they] (suffer/are afflicted), and who tremble when they hear me [rebuking them].
Ti imak ti nangaramid kadagitoy amin a banbanag; kasta ti wagas a napaadda dagitoy a banbanag - daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh. Daytoy ti tao nga anamungak, ti napakumbaba ken managbabawi iti espirituna, ken agpigeger iti saok.
3 You have enjoyed [continually] doing the things that you want to do: [Some of] you slaughter oxen [to sacrifice them to me], but you also bring human sacrifices [to your idols]! You sacrifice lambs [to me], but you kill dogs [to offer them to your gods]. You offer grain to me, but you also bring pigs’ blood [to your idols]. You burn incense [to me], but you also praise your idols. You enjoy doing those disgusting things.
Isuna a mangpatpatay iti baka, mangpatpatay met iti tao; isuna a mangidatdaton iti karnero ket mangtuktukkol met iti tengnged ti aso; isuna a mangidatdaton iti bukbukel a daton ket mangidatdaton met iti dara ti babuy; isuna a mangidatdaton iti insenso ket an-anamunganna met ti kinadangkes. Pinilida dagiti bukodda a wagas, ken agragsakda kadagiti makarimon nga aramidda.
4 When I called [out to you], you did not answer. When I spoke, you did not pay attention. You did [many] things that I say are evil; you chose [to do] things that I did not like. So [now] I will punish you by causing you to experience the things that you are [very] afraid of.”
Iti kasta met laeng a wagas a piliekto ti pannusada, iyegkonto kadakuada ti pagbutbutnganda, gapu ta idi immawagak, awan iti simmungbat; idi nagsaoak, awan iti dimngeg. Inaramidda ti dakes iti panagkitak, ken pinilida nga aramiden dagiti banbanag a saan a makaay-ayo kaniak.
5 But you people who tremble when you hear what Yahweh says, listen to what he says [now]: “Some of your people hate you and reject you because you belong to me. They make fun of you, and they say, ‘Yahweh should show his glorious power! We want to see him [do something to cause] you to be truly happy.’ But [some day] those people will be [very] disgraced.”
Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo nga agpigpigerger iti saona, “Kinuna dagiti kakabsatyo a manggurgura ken mangilaklaksid kadakayo, 'Maidaydayaw koma ni Yahweh, ket makitaminto ti rag-oyo,' ngem maibabaindanto.
6 [At that time], you will listen to the noise in the city. You will hear the shouting in the temple. It will be the sound of Yahweh shouting while he is punishing his enemies!
Ti uni ti riribuk gapu iti gubat ket agtaud iti siudad, maysa nga uni manipud iti templo, ti uni manipud kenni Yahweh a mangbalbales kadagiti kabusorna.
7 No one [RHQ] ever heard that a woman gave birth to a baby when she was just starting to have birth pains.
Sakbay nga agpasikal ti Sion, agpasngay isuna; sakbay nga umay kenkuana ti ut-ot, agipasngay isuna iti anak a lalaki.
8 Certainly no one [RHQ] ever heard about such a thing happening, and no one has ever seen it happen. [Similarly], no one ever [RHQ] heard that a nation was created in one instant, not even in one day. But Jerusalem is like [MET] [a woman who] gives birth to children as soon as she starts to have birth pains.
Siasino ti nakangngeg iti kasta a banag? Siasino ti nakakita kadagiti kasta a banbanag? Maipasngay kadi iti maysa nga aldaw ti maysa a daga? Maibangon kadi ti maysa a nasion iti apagkanito? Ngem apaman nga agpasikal ti Sion, ipasngayna dagiti annakna.
9 Women certainly do not [RHQ] bring infants to the time when they are ready to be born and then do not allow them to be born. [Similarly, he will do for Jerusalem] [MET] [what he has promised to do]: [He will cause Jerusalem to be full of people again]. [That will happen because] Yahweh has said it.
Iyegko aya ti maysa a maladaga iti aanakan ket saanko a palubosan a maipasngay? - salsaludsoden ni Yahweh. Wenno iyegko aya ti ubing iti kanito a maipasngay ket lappedak? - salsaludsoden ti Diosyo.”
10 You people in [APO] Jerusalem, rejoice! And all you people who love Jerusalem should also be happy. You people who were sad because of [what happened to Jerusalem], you should now be glad.
Makipagrag-okayo iti Jerusalem ken agragsakkayo gapu kenkuana, dakayo amin a mangay-ayat kenkuana; makipagrag-okayo kenkuana, dakayo amin a nagladingit gapu kenkuana!
11 [You people in Jerusalem] will [have everything that you need] like [MET] a baby that gets all it needs from its mother’s breasts. You will enjoy all the abundant and glorious things [MET] in the city.
Ta agsusokayonto ket mapnekkayo; maliwliwakayonto babaen kadagiti barukongna; ta inumenyonto dagitoy agingga a mapnekkayo ket agragsakkayo iti kinawadwad ti dayagna.
12 Yahweh has promised, “I will cause Jerusalem to be full of valuable things that come from other nations; those things will pour into Jerusalem; it will be like [SIM] a big flood. I will take care of the people of Jerusalem like women care for the babies that they nurse.
Daytoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Dandanikon nga ipalak-am ti kinarang-ay iti Sion a kas iti maysa a karayan, ken dagiti kinabaknang dagiti nasion a kas iti maysa a waig nga agluplupias ti panagayusna. Agsusokayto iti sibayna, ubbaennakayonto, ken rayray-awennakayonto iti rabaw dagiti tumengna.
13 I will comfort you people in Jerusalem like [MET] mothers comfort their children.”
No kasano iti panangliwliwa ti maysa nga ina iti anakna, kastanto met ti panangliwliwak kadakayo, ket maliwliwakayonto idiay Jerusalem.”
14 When you see [those things happen], you [SYN] will rejoice. Your [old] bones will become strong [again] like [SIM] grass [that grows quickly/well in the springtime]. [When that happens, everyone] will know that Yahweh has power [MTY] to help those who worship and obey him, but that he is angry with his enemies.
Makitayonto daytoy, ket agrag-onto ti pusoyo, ket pumigsanto dagiti tulangyo a kas iti naganus a ruot nga agrusing. Maiparangarangto ti ima ni Yahweh kadagiti adipenna, ngem makaungetto isuna kadagiti kabusorna.
15 Yahweh will come down with flames of fire, and his chariots [will come down] like [SIM] a whirlwind; he will be extremely angry, and he will punish [his enemies] by burning them in a fire.
Ta kitaenyo, umayto ni Yahweh nga addaan iti apuy, ken umayto dagiti karwahena a kas iti alawig, tapno iyegna ti bara ti ungetna ken ti panangtubngarna babaen iti darang ti apuy.
16 [It is as though] [MET] Yahweh has a [big] sword, and he will judge and execute many people.
Ta ipatungpal ni Yahweh ti pannakaukom kadagiti tattao babaen iti apuy ken babaen iti kampilanna. Adunto dagiti mapapatay ni Yahweh.
17 Yahweh says, “Some of you people purify/bathe yourselves and [then] go to a garden to worship your gods. You eat the meat of pigs and lizards and mice, [and other things that I have forbidden you to eat]. So I will get rid of you [for doing that].
Ilaslasinda dagiti bagida nga agpaay kenni kenni Yahweh ken daldalusanda dagiti bagbagida, tapno makaserrekda kadagiti minuyongan, sursurotenda dagiti mangmangan kadagiti lasag ti babuy ken kadagiti makarimon a banbanag a kas kadagiti utot.” Agpatinggadanto - kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
18 I know [all] the [evil] things that you think and do. [It is now time] for me to gather together the people who live in all nations and who speak all languages, and to show them that I am very great.
Ta ammok dagiti aramid ken kapanunotanda. Umayen ti tiempo inton ummongek dagiti amin a nasion ken pagsasao. Umaydanto ket makitada ti dayagko.
19 I will put a mark on them, and those whom I have spared will go to various [distant] countries: to Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal, Javan, and to distant islands. I will send them to proclaim to nations that have never heard about me that I am very great and glorious.
Mangikabilakto iti dakkel a pagilasinan kadakuada. Ket mangibaonakto kadagiti makalasat kadakuada a mapan kadagiti nasion: idiay Tarsis, Put, ken Lud, kadagiti pumapana a mangbiat kadagiti baida, idiay Tubal, Jaban, ken kadagiti adayo nga isla a saanda pay a nangngeg ti maipanggep kaniak wenno saan pay a nakakita iti dayagko. Iwaragawagdanto ti dayagko kadagiti nasnasion.
20 Then they will bring back here your relatives [who have been (exiled/forced to go to other countries)], to be like [SIM] an offering to me. They will come on horses, in chariots, on mules, and on camels. They will come to [Zion, ] my sacred hill in Jerusalem. That will be like [SIM] the offerings that [my] Israeli people used to bring in the correct manner to the temple.
Isublidanto dagiti kakabsatyo manipud kadagiti amin a nasion, a kas maysa a daton kenni Yahweh. Umaydanto a nakasakay kadagiti kabalio, ken kadagiti karwahe, kadagiti karison, kadagiti mulo, ken kadagiti kamelio, ket agturongda iti nasantoan a bantayko a Jerusalem - kuna ni Yahweh. Ta mangiyegto dagiti tattao ti Israel iti bukbukel a daton a naikarga iti nadalus a pagkargaan iti balay ni Yahweh.
21 [I solemnly promise that] I will appoint some of them to be priests, and others to do other work in my temple. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.
Piliekto pay nga agbalin a padi ken Levita ti dadduma kadagitoy - kuna ni Yahweh.
22 I [also] promise that just like the new heaven and the new earth will last forever, you will always have descendants, and you [MTY] will always be honored.
Ta no kasano nga agtalinaedto iti sangoanak ti baro a langit ken baro a daga nga aramidek - daytoy ket pakaammo ni Yahweh - kasta met nga agtalinaedto dagiti kaputotanyo, ken agtalinaedto ti naganyo.
23 At every festival to celebrate the Sabbath [each week] and the new moon [each month], everyone will [come and] worship me. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
Manipud iti maysa a bulan agingga iti sumaruno, ken manipud iti maysa nga Aldaw a Panaginana agingga iti sumaruno, umayto amin dagiti tattao tapno agparintumeng kaniak - kuna ni Yahweh.
24 Then they will go out [of Jerusalem] and look at the corpses of those who rebelled against me. The maggots in those corpses will never die, the fire will never stop burning them, and everyone [who sees their corpses] will detest them.”
Rumuardanto ket makitada dagiti bangkay dagiti tattao a nagrebelde kaniak, ta saanto a matay dagiti igges a mangan kadagitoy, ken saanto a maiddep ti apuy a manguram kadagitoy; ket agbalinto daytoy a makarimon kadagiti amin a lasag.
