< Isaiah 48 >

1 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah, who swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Denggenyo daytoy, balay ni Jacob, a naawagan iti nagan nga Israel, ken nagtaud iti kaputotan ti Juda; dakayo nga agsapsapata iti nagan ni Yahweh ken umaw-awag iti Dios ti Israel, ngem saan nga iti kinapudno wenno iti nalinteg a wagas.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
Ta awaganda dagiti bagida a tattao iti nasantoan a siudad ken agtaltalek iti Dios ti Israel; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth from my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly, and they came to pass.
“Naipakaammokon dagiti banbanag manipud idi; nagtaud dagitoy iti ngiwatko, ken naipakaammok dagitoy; kalpasanna, inaramidko a dagus dagitoy, ket napasamak dagitoy.
4 Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is] an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Gapu ta ammok a natangken ti uloyo, kas katangken ti landok ti piskel ti tengngedyo ken kasla bronse ti mugingyo,
5 I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before it came to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldst say, My idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
isu nga impakaammokon dagitoy a banbanag kadakayo idi; sakbay a napasamak dagitoy, impakaammokon kadakayo tapno saanyo nga ibaga nga, 'Ti didiosek iti nangaramid kadagitoy,' wenno 'ti imahen a kayo wenno ti imahen a landok ti nangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag.'
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]? I have showed ye new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
Nangngegyo ti maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag, kitaenyo amin daytoy a pammaneknek; ket dakayo, saanyo kadi nga aklunen a pudno dagitoy nga imbagak? Manipud ita, mangipakitaak kadakayo iti baro a banbanag a nailemmeng a saanyo pay a naammoan.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardst them not; lest thou shouldst say, Behold, I knew them.
Rimsuada ita a saan ket nga idi, ken saanyo pay a nangngeg ti maipapan kadagitoy sakbay daytoy nga aldaw, isu a saanyo a maibaga, 'Wen, ammok ti maipapan kadagitoy.'
8 Yes, thou heardst not; yes, thou knewest not; yes, from that time [that] thy ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldst deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Saanyo a pulos a nangngeg; saanyo nga ammo; saan idi a nailawlawag dagitoy a bambanag kadagiti lapayagyo. Ta ammok a manangallilawkayo unay, ken nasukirkayon sipud pay pannakaiyanakyo.
9 For my name's sake will I defer my anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Para iti naganko, lapdakto ti ungetko, ken gapu iti dayawko ket saanko nga ituloy ti panangdadaelko kadakayo.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Kitaenyo, ginugorankayo, ngem saan a kas iti pirak; pinasin-awkayo iti hurno ti panagsagaba.
11 For my own sake, [even] for my own sake, will I do [it]: for how should [my name] be profaned? and I will not give my glory to another.
Para iti bukodko a pagimbagan, gapu iti bukodko a pagimbagan nga agtignayakto; ta kasano nga ipalubosko a maibabain ti naganko? Saankonto nga ited ti dayagko iti sabali.
12 Hearken to me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last.
Dumngegkayo kaniak, Jacob ken Israel nga inayabak: Siak isuna; siak ti umuna ken siak met laeng ti maudi.
13 My hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: [when] I call to them, they stand up together.
Wen, ti imak ti nangisaad iti pundasion ti daga, ken ti makannawan nga imak ti nangiyaplag kadagiti langit; no awagak ida, sangsangkamaysada a tumakder.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves and hear; who among them hath declared these [things]? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm [shall be on] the Chaldeans.
Aguummongkayo, dakayo amin, ket dumngegkayo; Siasino kadakayo ti nangiwaragawag kadagitoy a babanag? Aramidento ti katulongan ni Yahweh ti gandatna iti Babilonia. Aramidennanto ti pagayatan ni Yahweh maibusor kadagiti Caldeo.
15 I, [even] I, have spoken, yes, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Siak, nasaokon, wen, pinaayabakon isuna, inyegkon isuna, ket agballiginto.
16 Come ye near to me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there [am] I: and now the LORD God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Umasidegkayo kaniak, dumngegkayo iti daytoy; manipud idi punganay saanak a nagsao iti nalimed; no mapasamak daytoy, addaak sadiay; ket ita imbaonnak ni Apo a Yahweh, ken ti Espirituna.”
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I [am] the LORD thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way [that] thou shouldst go.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbotyo, a Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a mangisursuro kadakayo no kasano ti agballigi, a mangidaldalan kadakayo iti rumbeng a dalan a papananyo.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
No tinungpalyo laeng koma dagiti bilbilinko! Ket nagayus koma a kasla karayan ti kapia ken panagrang-ayyo, ken ti pannakaisalakanyo ket kasla kadagiti dalluyon ti baybay.
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like its gravel; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Nagbalin koma a kas kaadu ti darat dagiti kaputotanyo, ken dagiti annak kadagiti aanakanyo ket kas kaadu dagiti binukel ti darat; saan koma a napukaw ti naganda iti sangoanak.
20 Go ye forth from Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Rummuarkayo iti Babilonia! Panawanyo dagiti Caldeo! Ipukkawyo nga iwaragawag daytoy! Ipakaammoyo daytoy, padanunenyo daytoy agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga! Ibagayo, 'Inispal ni Yahweh ni Jacob nga adipenna.'
21 And they thirsted not, [when] he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he cleaved the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Saanda a nawaw idi inturongna ida kadagiti disierto; pinagayusna ti danum manipud iti bato para kadakuada; binittakna ti bato ket pimsuak ti danum.
22 [There is] no peace, saith the LORD, to the wicked.
Awan iti talna para kadagiti nadangkes—kuna ni Yahweh.”
