1 Agtakderakto iti pagbanbantayak ket agpuestoak iti torre a pagwanawanan, ket agbantayakto a nasayaat tapno maammoak no ania ti ibagana kaniak ken no ania ti rumbeng nga isungbatko maipapan iti asugko.
On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He speaks against me, and what I reply to my reproof.
2 Simmungbat ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana, “Isuratmo daytoy a sirmata, ket isuratmo a nabatad kadagiti tapi ti bato tapno makataray ti mangbasa kadagitoy!
And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
3 Ta ti sirmata ket para iti masakbayan a tiempo ket agsaonto iti kamaudianan, ket saan a mapaay. Uray no mataktak, urayem daytoy! Ta sigurado nga umayto daytoy ket saanto nga agbayag!
For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breathes for the end, and does not lie, If it lingers, wait for it, For surely it comes, it is not late.
4 Kitaem! Ti tao nga agtaltalek iti kaungganda ket awan pagbanaganna. Ngem ti nalinteg ket agbiagto babaen iti pammatina!
Behold, a presumptuous one! His soul is not upright within him, And the righteous lives by his faith.
5 Ta ti arak ket mangliliput iti natangsit nga agtutubo a lalaki tapno saan isuna nga agtulnog, ngem, padpadakkelenna ti kalikagumna a kas iti tanem ken kas iti patay a saan a pulos a mapnek. Ummongenna dagiti amin a nasion a para iti bagina ken ummongenna dagiti amin a tattao para iti bagina. (Sheol h7585)
And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and does not remain at home, Who has enlarged his soul as Sheol, And is as death that is not satisfied, And gathers to itself all the nations, And assembles to itself all the peoples, (Sheol h7585)
6 Amin dagitoy a tattao, saandanto ngata a mangusar iti maysa a pangngarig maibusor kenkuana ken pananglais a panangibaga maipapan kenkuana a kunana, 'Asi pay daydiay a mangpaadu iti saanna a kukua! Ta kasano kabayag ti panangpadagsenyo kadagiti naisalda nga innalayo?’
Are these not—all of them—an allegory taken up against him, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Until when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
7 Saanto kadi a tumakder a dagus dagiti agngarngaryet kenka, ken saanto kadi a makariing dagiti mangbutbuteng kenka? Agbalinkanto a biktimada!
Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
8 Gapu ta sinamsammo ti adu a nasion, samsamandakanto dagiti amin a nabatbati a tattao, gapu iti dara ti lalaki ken ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, ti bario ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy.
Because you have spoiled many nations, All the remnant of the peoples spoil you, Because of man’s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
9 'Asi pay ti agur-urnong kadagiti dakes a gunggona para iti balayna, tapno maisaadna ti umokna iti ngato tapno natalged isuna manipud iti ima ti dakes!'
Woe [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set his nest on high, To be delivered from the hand of evil,
10 Nangpartuatka iti pannakaibabain para iti balaymo babaen iti panangdadaelmo iti adu a tattao, ken nagbasolka maibusor iti bagim.
You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
11 Ta umasugto dagiti bato manipud iti pader, ket sumungbatto kadagitoy dagiti pasanggir a kayo.
For a stone cries out from the wall, And a beam from the wood answers it.
12 'Asi pay ti mangibangon iti siudad babaen ti dara, ken ti mangibangon ti ili ti kinadangkes!'
Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
13 Saan kadi a nagtaud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-a ti nagbannugan dagiti tatao ket agpaay iti apuy ken banbannogen dagiti nasion dagiti bagbagida para iti awan?
Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
14 Ngem, mapnunto ti daga iti pannakaammo ti dayag ni Yahweh kas iti panangabbong dagiti dandanum iti baybay.
For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
15 'Asi pay ti mangmangted iti arak iti kaarrubana, ken sika a mangnaynayun iti sabidong agingga a mabartekmo ida tapno makitam ti kinalamu-lamoda!'
Woe [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbor, Pouring out your bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.
16 Mapnoankanto iti bain saan ket a dayag! Uminom ka met iti daytoy, ket ipakitam ti kinalamu-lamom! Ti kopa ni Yahweh nga adda iti makannawan nga imana ket dumtengto kenka, ket abbonganto ti pannakaibabain ti dayawmo.
You have been filled—shame without honor, Drink also, and be uncircumcised, Turn around to you does the cup of the right hand of YHWH, And shameful spewing [is] on your glory.
17 Ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti Lebanon ket abbungannakanto, ken ti pannakadadael dagiti narungsot nga ayup ket butbutngennakanto gapu iti dara dagiti lallaki ken gapu iti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, kadagiti siudad ken kadagiti amin nga agnanaed sadiay.
For violence [done to] Lebanon covers you, And spoil of beasts frightens them, Because of man’s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
18 Ania aya ti magun-odyo iti nakitikitan a ladawan? Ta ti nangikitikit iti daytoy, wenno ti nangaramid iti ladawan manipud iti narunaw a landok ket maysa a mangisursuro iti inuulbod; ta agtaltalek isuna iti mismo nga aramid ti imana idi inaramidna dagitoy nga umel a didios.
What profit has a carved image given That its former has hewn it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That the former has trusted on his own formation—to make mute idols?
19 'Asi pay ti mangibagbaga iti kayo, Bumangonka! Wenno iti naulimek a bato, Tumakderka!' Makaisuro kadi dagitoy a banbanag? Kitaenyo, nakalupkopan daytoy iti balitok ken pirak ngem saan a pulos aganges ti kaungganna.
Woe [to] him who is saying to wood, Awake, To a mute stone, Stir up, It [is] a teacher! Behold, it is overlaid—gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
20 Ngem ni Yahweh ket adda iti nasantoan a templona! Agulimekka iti sangoananna, O amin a daga!”
And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
