Isaias 14
1 Maasinto ni Yahweh kenni Jacob; pilien ken isublinanto manen ti Israel iti bukodda a daga. Makitiponto kadakuada dagiti gangannaet ken makikaduadanto iti kaputotan ni Jacob.
[But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
2 Isublinto ida dagiti nasion iti bukodda a lugar. Ket ipanto ida ti kaputotan ti Israel idiay daga ni Yahweh kas adipen a lallaki ken babbai. Tiliwendanto dagiti nangtiliw kadakuada, ken iturayandanto dagiti nangparparigat kadakuada.
People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
3 Iti aldaw nga ikkannaka ni Yahweh iti inana manipud iti panagsagsagabam ken panagladladingitmo, ken iti nadagsen a trabaho a masapul nga aramidem,
Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
4 kantaemto daytoy a pananglais a kanta maibusor iti ari ti Babilonia, “Anian a panagpatingga ti mangparparigat, ti naulpit ket naggibusen!
When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
5 Tinukkol ni Yahweh ti sarukod dagiti nadangkes, ti setro dagidiay mangiturturay,
You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
6 a nangkabil kadagiti tattao iti pungtot a saan nga agsardeng a panangkabil, a sipupungtot a nangituray kadagiti nasion, iti awan patinggana a panangraut.
You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
7 Adda kappia ken talna iti entero a daga; rinugianda ti panagramrambak babaen iti panagkankanta.
[But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
8 Uray dagiti parwa a kayo ket makipagragragsak kadakayo kasta met dagiti sedro iti Lebanon; kunada, ‘Agsipudta napasagkan, awanen iti agpukpukan nga umay mangpukan kadakami.’
[It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
9 Ti Sheol nga adda iti baba ket magagaran a mangsabat kenka inton mapanka sadiay. Riniingna dagiti natay para kenka, a dagiti amin nga ari ti daga, pinatakderna kadagiti tronoda, amin dagiti ari dagiti nasion. (Sheol h7585)
The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
10 Agsaodanto amin ket ibagada kenka, ‘Kimmapuykan a kas kadakami. Nagbalinkan a kas kadakami.
They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
11 Ti kinapasindayagmo ket naipababa iti sheol agraman ti uni dagiti nakuerdasan nga instrumenton. Sur-it ti naiwaras iti pagiddaam ken igges ti naiyules kaniam.’ (Sheol h7585)
You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
12 Anian ta natnagka manipud langit, baggak, nga anak ti bigat! Sika a nangsakup kadagiti nasion, anian a pannakatnagmo iti daga.
You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
13 Kinunam iti pusom, ‘Umuliakto idiay langit, ipasdekkonto ti tronok iti ngatoen dagiti bituen ti Dios, ken agtugawak iti tapaw ti bantay ti paguummongan, agingga iti amianan.
You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
14 Umuliakto iti ngatoen dagiti ulep; pagbalinekto ti bagik a kas iti Kangatoan a Dios.’
I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
[But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
16 Matmatandakanto dagiti makakita kenka; ken mingmingmingandakanto. Kunaendanto, ‘Daytoy kadi ti tao a nangpakintayeg iti daga, a nanggungon kadagiti pagarian,
The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
17 a namagbalin iti lubong a let-ang, a nangdadael kadagiti siudad daytoy ken ti tao a saanna nga impalubos nga agawid dagiti baludna?’
Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
18 Dagiti amin nga ari dagiti nasion, aminda ket pimmusayda nga addaan iti kinadayag, tunggal maysa iti bukodda a tanem.
All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
19 Ngem naipurwakka manipud iti tanemmo, a kas iti sanga a naibelleng, kasla lupot a naiyules kenka dagiti natay, dagiti dinuyok ti kampilan—dagiti bumaba kadagiti batbato iti abut.
but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
20 Kas iti bangkay a naibaddebaddek, iti kaanuman ket dikanto maitipon kadakuada iti tanem gapu ta dinadaelmo ti dagam. Sika a nangpapatay kadagiti tattaom ket anak dagiti mangar-aramid iti kinadakes ken pulos a saankanto a madakamat manen.”
Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
21 Isaganayo ti pangpatayyo kadagiti annakda, gapu iti kinamanagbasol dagiti kapuonanda, tapno saandanto a bumangon a mangtagikua iti daga ken mangpunno iti entero a lubong kadagiti siudad.
[People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
22 Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin—“Tumakderakto a maibusor kadakuada.” Pukawekto iti Babilonia ti nagan, kaputotan ken ti sumaruno pay a kaputotan” —daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
[This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
23 “Pagbalinekto pay isuna a sanikua dagiti kullaaw ken kadandanuman, ken sagadakto daytoy babaen iti sagad ti pannakadadael” —daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
24 Insapata ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, “Pudno, a no ania ti pinanggepko, isunto ti mapasamak; ken no ania ti ginandatko, isunto ti maaramid.
The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
25 Parmekekto ti taga-Asiria iti dagak, ket payatpayatak isuna kadagiti rabaw ti bantayko. Ket maikkatto ti sangolna manipud kadakuada ken maikkatto ti impabaklayna manipud iti abagada.”
[When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
26 Daytoy ti plano a maipatungpal iti entero a daga, ken daytoy ti ima a naingato iti amin a nasion.
I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
27 Ta ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti nangpanggep iti daytoy; siasino koma ti makabael a manglapped kenkuana? Nakasagana ti imana a mangipatungpal kadagiti pinanggepna, ket siasino ngay ti makabael a manglapped kadagitoy?
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
28 Iti tawen nga ipapatay ni ari Ahaz, dimteng daytoy a pakaammo:
I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
29 “Saanka nga agrag-o, Filistia, gapu ta natukkolen ti sarukod a nangdangran kadakayo. Ta manipud iti maysa nga uleg ket rumuar met ti maysa nga uleg, ken ti anaknanto ket agbalin a nauyong a karasaen a tumaytayab.
You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
30 Ti inauna nga anak dagiti nakurapay ket manganto, ken natalgedto nga agidda dagiti agkasapulan. Patayekto dagiti kapuonanyo babaen iti nakaro a panagbisin a mangpatayto kadagiti amin a nakalasat kadakayo.
Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
31 Agdung-awka, sika a ruangan; agsangitka, sika a siudad; marunawkayonto amin, Filistia. Ta manipud iti amianan ket umay ti maysa nga asok, ket awanto ti magna a nabuntog iti likudan dagiti dadduma.”
[So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
32 Kasanonto ngarud a sumungbat ti maysa a tao kadagiti mensahero iti dayta a nasion? Nga impasdek ni Yahweh ti Sion, ket kenkuana ti pakasarakan dagiti agsagsagaba a tattaona iti pagkamangan.
If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
