Isaias 22
1 Ti pakaammo maipapan iti tanap ti sirmata. Ania ti makagapu nga immulikayo amin kadagiti tuktok dagiti balbalay?
A message about the Valley of Vision (Jerusalem). What's happening? Why has everyone gone up onto the rooftops?
2 Maysa a siudad a natagari, maysa nga ili a napnoan ti ramrambak; saan a napapatay dagiti minatayyo babaen iti kampilan, ken saanda a natay iti gubat.
There are shouts and commotion all over the city with people celebrating. Your dead weren't killed by the sword or in battle.
3 Naglibas a sangsangkamaysa dagiti amin a mangiturturaymo, ngem natiliwda nga awanan iti pana, natiliw ken naipanawda amin a sangsangkamaysa; naglibasda manipud iti adayo.
All your leaders ran away together; they were captured without resistance. All your people trying to escape were captured together, even though they had run a long way away.
4 Isu a kinunak, “Saandak a kitaen, agsangitakto iti nasaem; saandak a padasen a liwliwaen maipapan iti pannakadadael ti anak a babai dagiti tattaok.”
That's why I said, “Go away! Let me mourn in peace. Don't insist on comforting me as the daughter of my people is ruined.”
5 Ta adda aldaw ti pannakariribuk, pannakadadael, ken pannakaburibor manipud iti Apo, a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, iti tanap ti sirmata, pannakarebba dagiti pader, ken panagsangsangit dagiti tattao kadagiti banbantay.
For the Lord has a day of defeat, of panic and confusion in the Valley of Vision, a day of tearing down walls and crying for help to the mountains.
6 Alaen ti Elam ti taguban, kaduana dagiti lallaki a naglugan kadagiti karwahe ken nakakabalio, ken isagana ti Kir ti kalasag.
The Elamites pick up their quivers full of arrows, and prepare their chariots and horsemen, while the people of Kir uncover their shields ready for battle.
7 Mapasamakto a dagiti kasasayaatan a tantanapmo ket mapunno kadagiti karwahe ken agpwestonto dagiti kumakabalio iti ruangan.
Your most productive valleys are now full of enemy chariots; and their cavalry are at your gates!
8 Inikkatna ti salaknib ti Juda; ket iti dayta nga aldaw minatmatam dagiti armas iti uneg ti Palasio ti Kabakiran.
Judah's defenses have been stripped away and so at that time you went looking for weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
9 Nakitam a nagadu dagiti birri ti siudad ni David, ken inurnongmo ti danum iti akin-baba a pagurnongan iti danum.
You examined the breaks in the walls of the City of David and found there were many. You had water collect in the lower pool.
10 Binilangmo dagiti balbalay ti Jerusalem, ket rinebbam dagiti balbalay tapno patibkerem ti pader.
Your reviewed the number of houses in the city and demolished some to provide stone to repair the walls.
11 Nangaramidka iti pagurnongan iti danum iti nagbaetan dagiti dua a pader para iti danum iti daan a pagurnongan ti danum. Ngem saanmo a pinanunot ti nangaramid iti siudad, a nangplano iti daytoy iti nabayagen a panawen.
You built a reservoir inside the walls for the waters from the old pool, but you did not respect its Maker or think about the One who planned it long ago.
12 Agayab ti Apo, a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin iti dayta nga aldaw para iti panagsangsangit, para iti panagladladingit, para iti pannakakuskos dagiti ulo ken iti panangikawes kadagiti nakersang a lupot.
At that time the Lord, the Lord Almighty, was calling you to weep and mourn, to shave your heads and wear sackcloth.
13 Ngem kitaem, nagramrambakkayo ketdi ken nagragragsakkayo, nagparpartikayo kadagiti baka ken karnero, nangnangankayo iti karne ken naqin-inumkayo iti arak; mangan ken uminumtayo, ta inton bigat, mataytayonton.
Instead, you go on happily partying! You slaughter cattle and sheep so you can have your feasts, eating meat and drinking wine, saying, “Let's eat and drink, because we're going to die tomorrow!”
14 Impakaammo daytoy ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin kadagiti lapayagko: “Pudno a saankayto a mapakawan iti daytoy a nagbasolanyo, uray inton mataykayo,” kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
The Lord Almighty has made this clear to me: “I will not forgive this sin till your dying day, says the Lord, the Lord Almighty.”
15 Kinuna daytoy ti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, “Mapanka iti daytoy a mangimatmaton, kenni Sebna a mangimatmaton iti balay ket ibagam,
This is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, told me to do. “Go to Shebna, the palace manager, and give him this message:
16 'Ania ti adda kenka ditoy ken siasinoka ta nangkalika iti maysa a tanem? Nangkalkalika iti tanem iti nangato a disso, nangkitkitikitka iti disso a paginanaam iti dakkel a bato'”
‘What are you doing here? Who do you think you are, cutting out a tomb for yourself high up on a hill, carving out for yourself a place to rest?
17 Kitaem, ipurruaknakanto ni Yahweh, nasiglat a tao, ipurruaknakanto; gammatannakanto iti nairot.
Watch out, you “great man”! The Lord is about to grab you and violently toss you aside.
18 Sigurado nga iwallawallagesnakanto, ken ipurruaknakanto a kasla maysa a bola iti nalawa a pagilian. Mataykanto sadiay ken maipanto sadiay dagiti agkakapintas a karwahem; sikanto ti pakaibabainan ti balay ti apom!
He's going to roll you up into a ball, and throw you far away into a vast country. You will die there, and that's where the chariots you were so proud of will remain. You're a disgrace to your lord's royal family.
19 “Ikkatenkanto manipud iti saadmo ken iti nakaisaadam. Maipababakanto.
I will push you out of office, I will strip you of your position.
20 Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw nga ayabak ti adipenko a ni Eliakim a putot ni Hilkias.
After that I will call for my servant, Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.
21 Ikaweskonto kenkuana ti kagaymo ken ibarikeskonto kenkuana ti barikesmo, ken iyakarkonto iti imana ti turaymo. Agbalinto isuna nga ama kadagiti agnanaed iti Jerusalem ken iti balay ti Juda.
I will put your robe and place your sash around him, and I will give your authority to him. He will be a father to the people living in Jerusalem and Judah.
22 Ikabilkonto iti abagana ti tulbek ti balay ni David; luktannanto ket awanto ti makaiserra; ilukatnanto ket awanto iti makaiserra.
I will give him the key to the house of David. What he opens, nobody can shut; what he shuts, nobody can open.
23 Kas iti maysa a lansa, ipalokkonto isuna iti natalged a lugar, ket agbalinto isuna a trono ti dayaw iti balay ti amana.
I will drive him like a nail hammered securely into a wall. He will bring honor to his family.
24 Ibitindanto kenkuana dagiti amin a pammadayaw iti balay ti amana, dagiti annakna ken dagiti kaputotanna, tunggal bassit a pagkargaan manipud kadagiti sartin agingga kadagiti amin a burnay.
The heavy burden of his father's family will hang on him—all the descendants and the inlaws—all the little containers, bowls and all kinds of jars.
25 Iti dayta nga aldaw — daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin — lumukayto ti pasok a naipalok iti natibker a lugar, matukkol ket matnag, ket ti dagsen nga adda iti daytoy ket mapukawto — ta isu ti kinuna ni Yahweh.
So the time will come, declares the Lord Almighty, when the nail will come out of the wall, even though it was hammered in securely. It will break off and fall down, and everything hanging on it will fall down too. The Lord has spoken.
