< Isaias 13 >

1 Maysa a pakaammo maipapan iti Babilonia, a naawat ni Isaias a lalaki a putot ni Amos:
A prophecy concerning Babylon, which Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw.
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.
Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner; Cry aloud to them, wave the hand, That they may enter the gates of the tyrants!
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 given orders to my consecrated ones, Yea, I have called upon my mighty ones to execute mine anger, My proud exulters!
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.
The noise of a multitude upon the mountains, like that of a great people! The tumultuous noise of kingdoms, of nations gathered together! Jehovah of hosts mustereth his army for battle.
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 come from a distant country, From the end of Heaven, Jehovah and the instruments of his indignation. To lay waste the whole land.
6 Agdung-awkayo, ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh; dumteng a nabuyugan iti pannakadadael manipud iti Mannakabalin-amin.
Howl ye, for the day of Jehovah is at hand! Like a destruction from the Almighty, it cometh;
7 Ngarud, malpayto amin nga ima ken kumapoy ti tunggal puso;
Therefore shall all hands hang down, And every heart of man shall 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.
They shall be in consternation; Distress and anguish shall lay hold of them; As a woman in travail shall they writhe; They shall look upon one another with amazement: Their faces shall glow like flames.
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 Jehovah cometh, Terrible, full of wrath and burning indignation, To make the land a waste, And to destroy the sinners out of 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 the constellations thereof, Shall not give their light; The sun shall be darkened at his going forth, And the moon shall withhold her 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.
For I will punish the world for its guilt, And the wicked for their iniquity. I will put an end to the arrogance of the proud, And I will bring down the haughtiness of the tyrants.
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 men scarcer than gold; Yea, men 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 shall be shaken out of her place, In the anger of Jehovah of hosts, In the day of his burning indignation.
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.
Then shall they be like a chased doe; Like a flock, which no one gathereth together; Every one shall turn to his own people, And every one flee to his own land.
15 Siasinoman a masarakan ket mapapatayto, ken siasinoman a matiliw ket matayto babaen iti kampilan.
Every one that is overtaken shall be thrust through, And every one that is caught shall fall 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 children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; Their houses shall be plundered, and their wives 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 stir up against them the Medes, Who make no account of silver, And as to gold, they do not regard it.
18 Duyukento dagiti panada dagiti agtutubo a lallaki. Awanto iti asida kadagiti maladaga ken saandanto a bay-an nga agbiag dagiti ubbing.
Their bows shall strike down the young men, And on the fruit of the womb they shall have no compassion; Their eye shall not pity 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.
So shall Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, The proud ornament of the Chaldeans, Be like Sodom and Gomorrah, which God overthrew,
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.
It shall never more be inhabited; Nor shall it be dwelt in through all generations. Nor shall the Arabian pitch his tent there, Nor shall shepherds make their folds 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 there shall the wild beasts of the desert lodge, And owls shall fill their houses; And ostriches shall dwell there, And satyrs shall dance there.
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.
Wolves shall howl in their palaces, And jackals in their pleasant edifices. Her time is near, And her days shall not be prolonged.
