Isaias 13
1 Maysa a pakaammo maipapan iti Babilonia, a naawat ni Isaias a lalaki a putot ni Amos:
This is the burden against Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz received:
2 Iti tapaw ti awan mulmulana a bantay ket mangikabilkayo iti bandera a pagilasinan, pukkawanyo ida, ipayapayyo ti imayo kadakuada tapno mapanda kadagiti ruangan dagiti natatakneng.
Raise a banner on a barren hilltop; call aloud to them. Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
3 Binilinko dagiti katalekko, wen, inayabak dagiti maingel a tattaok a mangipalak-am iti pungtotko, kasta met dagiti tattaok a mangipanpannakkel kadagiti inaramidko.
I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.
4 Adda arimbangaw iti adu a tattao iti kabanbantayan, arimbangaw ti adu unay a tattao! Ti ariwawa dagiti pagarian a kasla adu a nasion a naguummong! Um-ummungen ni Yahweh, a Mannakabalin-amin ti armada para iti gubat.
Listen, a tumult on the mountains, like that of a great multitude! Listen, an uproar among the kingdoms, like nations gathered together! The LORD of Hosts is mobilizing an army for war.
5 Naggapuda iti adayo a pagilian, manipud iti nakaad-adayo a kasulsulinekan a pungto ti daga. Ni Yahweh ken dagiti aramatenna iti panangukom, a mangdadael iti entero a daga.
They are coming from faraway lands, from the ends of the heavens— the LORD and the weapons of His wrath— to destroy the whole country.
6 Agdung-awkayo, ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh; dumteng a nabuyugan iti pannakadadael manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin.
Wail, for the Day of the LORD is near; it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
7 Ngarud, malpayto amin nga ima ken kumapoy ti tunggal puso;
Therefore all hands will fall limp, and every man’s heart will melt.
8 Agbutengdanto iti kasta unay; agsagabadanto iti ut-ot ken ladingit, a kas iti babai nga agpaspasikal. Agkikinnitadanto gapu iti siddaaw; lumabbaganto dagiti rupada gapu iti bain.
Terror, pain, and anguish will seize them; they will writhe like a woman in labor. They will look at one another, their faces flushed with fear.
9 Kitaenyo, dumteng ti aldaw ni Yahweh ket awan asi iti panangdusana ken nalaus ti ungetna, ket pagbalinenna a langalang ti daga ken dadaelenna dagiti managbasol manipud iti daytoy.
Behold, the Day of the LORD is coming— cruel, with fury and burning anger— to make the earth a desolation and to destroy the sinners within it.
10 Dagiti bituen ti langit ket saanto nga agraniag. Agsipngetto ti init uray iti parbangon, ken saanto nga agraniag ti bulan.
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light. The rising sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light.
11 Dusaekto ti lubong gapu iti kinadakesna ken dagiti nadangkes gapu iti kinadakesda. Gibusakto ti kinapalangguad dagiti natangsit ken ipababakto ti kinapalangguad dagiti naulpit.
I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless.
12 Pabassitek ti bilang dagiti lallaki ngem iti bilang iti puro a balitok ken pagbalinek a narigrigat a biruken ti tao ngem iti puro a balitok ti Ophir.
I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
13 Ngarud, pagkintayegekto ti langit, ket maiyalisto ti daga iti nakasaadanna, babaen iti pungtot ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ken iti aldaw ti nakabutbuteng a pungtotna.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the LORD of Hosts on the day of His burning anger.
14 Kas iti naanupan nga ugsa wenno kas iti maysa a karnero nga awan ti pastorna, tunggal tao ket agsublinto kadagiti kaillianna ken iti bukodna a daga.
Like a hunted gazelle, like a sheep without a shepherd, each will return to his own people, each will flee to his native land.
15 Siasinoman a masarakan ket mapapatayto, ken siasinoman a matiliw ket matayto babaen iti kampilan.
Whoever is caught will be stabbed, and whoever is captured will die by the sword.
16 Iti imatangda, maibaut-baotto dagiti maladagada agingga nga agsisina dagiti bagida. Matagikuanto dagiti balbalayda ken maagaw ken maramesto dagiti assawada.
Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.
17 Kitaenyo, dandanikon sugsogan dagiti taga-Media a mangraut kadakuada, a saanto a mangikankano iti pirak, wenno saan a maay-ayo iti balitok.
Behold, I will stir up against them the Medes, who have no regard for silver and no desire for gold.
18 Duyukento dagiti panada dagiti agtutubo a lallaki. Awanto iti asida kadagiti maladaga ken saandanto a bay-an nga agbiag dagiti ubbing.
Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children.
19 Kasta met ti Babilonia, ti kangrunaan a madaydayaw kadagiti pagarian, ti nadaeg a pagpanpannakkel dagiti Caldeo, ket parmekento ti Dios a kas iti Sodoma ken Gomora.
And Babylon, the jewel of the kingdoms, the glory of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Saanton a mapagtaengan wenno mapagnaedan pay dagiti henerasion. Saanto nga ipatakder ti Arab iti toldana sadiay, ken saanto a paginnanaen dagiti agpaspastor dagiti arbanda sadiay.
She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.
21 Ngem agiddanto sadiay dagiti atap nga ayup iti let-ang. Mapunnonto dagiti balbalayda kadagiti kullaaw; ken aglagtu-lagtonto dagiti abestrus ken atap a kalding sadiay.
But desert creatures will lie down there, and howling creatures will fill her houses. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will leap about.
22 Agtaguobto dagiti hyena kadagiti pagsammakedanda, ken agtaulto dagiti atap nga aso kadagiti napipintas a palasio. Asidegen ti tiempona, ken saanen a maitantan dagiti aldawna.
Hyenas will howl in her fortresses and jackals in her luxurious palaces. Babylon’s time is at hand, and her days will not be prolonged.
