< Isaias 17 >

1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Damasco. Awanen, saanton a maibilang a maysa a siudad ti Damasco; agbalinto daytoy a gabsuon dagiti dadael.
THE WORD AGAINST DAMASCUS. Behold, Damascus shall be taken away from among cities, and shall become a ruin;
2 Mapanawanto dagiti siudad ti Aroer. Agbalindanto a paginanaan dagiti arban ket awanto iti pakaigapuan ti panagbutengda.
abandoned for ever, to [be] a fold and resting-place for flocks, and there shall be none to go after them.
3 Mapukawto dagiti natalged a siudad manipud iti Efraim, ti pagarian manipud iti Damasco ken dagiti nabatbati iti Aram- agbalindanto a kas iti dayag dagiti tattao ti Israel- daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
And she shall no longer be a strong place for Ephraim to flee to, and there shall no longer be a kingdom in Damascus, or a remnant of Syrians; for you are no better than the children of Israel, [even] than their glory; thus says the Lord of hosts.
4 Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a kumapuy ti dayag ni Jacob ken ti kinalukmeg ti lasagna ket kumuttongto.
There shall be in that day a failure of the glory of Jacob, and the riches of his glory shall be shaken.
5 Maiyarigto daytoy iti talon no kasta nga apiten ti agan-ani ti sitatakder a trigo ken apiten ti takiagna dagiti dawa ti trigo. Maiyarigto daytoy iti talon no kasta nga agtudtod ti maysa a tao kadagiti dawa ti trigo iti tanap ti Refaim.
And it shall be as if one should gather standing corn, and reap the grain of the ears; and it shall be as if one should gather ears in a rich valley;
6 Mabatinto dagiti natudtod, uray kaskasano, a kas iti mapasamak no magungon ti kayo ti olibo: dua wenno tallo nga olibo iti ringgawis ti kangatoan a sanga, uppat wenno lima ti mabati iti kangatoan a sanga iti nabunga a kayo- daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel.
and [as if] there should be left stubble therein, or [as it were] the berries of an olive tree, two or three on the topmost bough, or [as if] four or five should be left on their branches; thus says the Lord, the God of Israel.
7 Iti dayta nga aldaw, kumitanto dagiti tattao iti Namarsua kadakuada, ket kumitadanto iti Nasantoan ti Israel.
In that day a man shall trust in him that made him, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8 Saandanto a kumita kadagiti altar, nga inaramid dagiti imada, kasta met a saandanto a kumita iti inaramid dagiti ramayda, dagiti poste nga imahen ni Asera wenno dagiti imahen ti init.
And they shall not at all trust in their altars, nor in the works of their hands, which their fingers made; and they shall not look to the trees, nor to their abominations.
9 Iti dayta nga aldaw, dagiti nabibileg a siudadda ket kaslanto iti nabaybay-an nga agdan a kayo iti tapaw ti turod, a napanawan gapu kadagiti tattao ti Israel ket agbalinto daytoy a nabaybay-an.
In that day your cities shall be deserted, as the Amorites and the Evaeans deserted [theirs], because of the children of Israel; and they shall be desolate.
10 Ta linipatyo ti Dios a manangisalakanyo, ken saanyo nga inkaskaso ti maiyarig iti bato a pigsayo. Isu a nagmulakayo kadagiti napipintas a mulmula ken nagmulakayo kadagiti karkarna a bin-i
Because you have forsaken God your Saviour, and have not been mindful of the Lord your helper; therefore shall you plant a false plant, and a false seed.
11 iti aldaw a nagmulakayo ket inaladan ken rinuk-itanyo. Agtubonto iti mabiit ti bukelyo, ngem ti maapitto ket aldaw ti ladingit ken nakaro a liday.
In the day wherein you shall plant you shall be deceived; but if you sow in the morning, [the seed] shall spring up for a crop in the day wherein you shall obtain an inheritance, and as a man's father, you shall obtain an inheritance for your sons.
12 Asi pay! Ti arimbangaw dagiti adu a tatttao, dayta nga arimbangaw ket kasla panagdaranudor dagiti baybay ken panagkaribuso dagiti nasion, dayta a karibuso ket kasla danarudor ti napigsa a danum!
Woe [to] the multitude of many nations, as the swelling sea, so shall you be confounded; and the force of many nations shall sound like water;
13 Agarimbangawto dagiti nasion a kasla panagdaranudor ti adu a danum ngem pasardengento ida ti Dios. Agtataraydanto iti adayo ket kamatendanto ida a kasla kadagiti maitayab a nagango a ruot kadagiti banbantay ken kasla kadagiti maiyalipugpog a ruruot.
many nations like much water, as when much water rushes violently: and they shall drive him away, and pursue him afar, as the dust of chaff when men winnow before the wind, and as a storm whirling the dust of the wheel.
14 Iti rabii, kitaenyo, nakabutbuteng! Ket sakbay a bumigat awandanton; dayta ti maganab dagiti mangsamsam kadatayo, ti maganab dagiti agtakaw kadatayo.
Toward evening, and there shall be grief; before the morning, and he shall not be. This is the portion of them that spoiled you, and the inheritance to them that robbed you of your inheritance.
