Isaias 21
1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti disierto nga adda iti igid ti baybay. Kas iti napigsa nga angin a dumalapus iti Negev, lumasatto daytoy manipud iti let-ang, manipud iti nakabutbuteng a daga.
The burden of the wilderness of the sea. Like windstorms in the south for passing through, It has come from the wilderness, From a fearful land.
2 Maysa a makapaupay a sirmata ti naited kaniak: ti mangliliput a tao ket agtigtignay a sililiput, ken ti manangdadael ket mangdaddadael. Sumang-at ket rumautkayo, Elam; manglakubkayo, Media; Pasardengekto amin ti panagas-asugna.
A hard vision has been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, I have caused all its sighing to cease.
3 Gapu iti daytoy, nakariknaak iti ut-ot kadagiti lumok; ti ut-ot a kas iti ut-ot ti agpasikal a babai ti nangtengngel kaniak; napadumogak iti nangngegak; naburiburak iti nakitak.
Therefore my loins have been filled [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
4 Agkibkibbayo ti barukongko; agtigtigergerak iti buteng; ti rabii a segseggaak ket nagbalin a nakabutbuteng kaniak.
My heart has wandered, trembling has terrified me, He has made the twilight of my desire a fear to me,
5 Insaganada ti lamisaan, inyaplagda dagiti alfombra ket agkakaan ken aggiinomda; tumakderkayo, dakayo a prinsipe, sapsapoanyo iti lana dagiti kalasagyo.
Arrange the table, watch in the watchtower, Eat, drink, rise, you heads, anoint the shield,
6 Ta daytoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mapanka, mangdutokka iti guardia; masapul nga ipakaammona ti makitana.
For thus said the Lord to me: “Go, station the watchman, Let him declare that which he sees.”
7 No makakita isuna iti karwahe, iti sagdudua a lallaki a nakakabalio, kadagiti nakasakay iti asno, kadagiti nakasakay iti kamelio ket ngarud masapul nga agsiput ken agalibtak unay.”
And he has seen a chariot—a couple of horsemen, The rider of a donkey, the rider of a camel, And he has given attention—He has increased attention!
8 Nagpukkaw ti guardia, “Apo, iti pagwanawanan, agtaktakderak nga agmalmalem, inaldaw ken iti disso a pagwanawanak ket agtaktakderak nga agpatpatnag.”
And he cries, “A lion, my lord! I am continually standing on a watchtower by day, And I am stationed on my ward whole nights.
9 Adtoyen ti maysa a nakakarwahe ket adda kaduana a bunggoy ti lallaki, sagdudua a lallaki a nakakabalio. Ipukpukkawna, “Naparmeken, naparmeken ti Babilonia ket dagiti amin a nakitikitan nga imahen dagiti diosda ket naburaken iti daga.”
And behold, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.” And he answers and says: “Fallen, fallen has Babylon, And He has broken all the carved images of her gods to the earth.
10 Nairik ken naitaep a tattaok, annak ti pagirikak! Impakaammok kadakayo ti nangngegko manipud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel.
O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!”
11 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Duma. Adda umaw-awag kaniak manipud iti Seir. “Guardia, kasano pay kabayag ti rabii? Guardia, kasano pay kabayag ti rabii?”
The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
12 Kinuna ti guardia, “Dumtengen ti agsapa ken kasta met ti rabii: No agsaludsodka, agsaludsodka ket kalpasanna, agsublikanto manen.”
The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, If you inquire, inquire, return, come.”
13 Ti pakaaammo maipanggep iti Arabia. Agpatpatnagkayo iti let-ang ti Arabia, dakayo a bunggoy a taga-Dedan.
The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanim.
14 Mangiyegkayo iti danum para kadagiti mawaw; dakayo nga agnanaed iti daga ti Tema, mangipankayo iti tinapay kadagiti tattao a naglibas.
Inhabitants of the land of Tema Have brought water to meet the thirsty, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
15 Ta intarayanda ti kampilan, manipud iti nauyos a kampilan, manipud iti napilko a pana ken manipud iti dagsen ti gubat.
For they fled from the face of destructions, From the face of an outstretched sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
16 Ta daytoy ti imbaga ti Apo kaniak, “Iti las-ud ti makatawen, agpatingganto amin ti dayag ti Kedar, a kas iti mapasamak iti panagtrabaho ti matangtangdanan nga agtrabaho iti makatawen.
For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar has been consumed.
17 Manmanonto laeng ti mabati kadagiti pumapana, dagiti mannakigubat ti Kedar” ta ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel, ti nagsao.
And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!”
