Isaias 27
1 Iti dayta nga aldaw, dusaento ni Yahweh, babaen iti nalagda, dakkel ken natadem a kampilanna ti Leviatan nga aguy-uyas nga uleg, ti Leviatan nga agkunkunikon nga uleg ken papatayennanto ti nakaam-amak nga ayup nga adda iti taaw.
At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
2 Iti dayta nga aldaw: Ikanta ti kaubasan a paggapgapuan iti arak ti maipapan iti daytoy.
At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
3 “Siak a ni Yahweh, ti mangsalsalluad iti daytoy, sibsibugak daytoy iti amin a kanito; tapno awan ti mangdangran iti daytoy, banbantayak daytoy iti rabii ken iti aldaw.
I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
4 Saanak a makapungtot, no komaa ta adda dagiti sisiitan a ruot ken sisiit! Iti gubat, baddebaddekak dagitoy; puorak ida amin,
I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
5 malaksid no awatenda ti panangsalaknibko ken makikapiada kaniak; makikapiada ngarud koma kaniak.
unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
6 Iti umay nga aldaw, agramutto ni Jacob; agsabong ken agbuselto ti Israel; ket punoendanto iti bunga ti rabaw ti daga.”
There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
7 Rinaut kadi ni Yahweh da Jacob ken Israel a kas iti panangrautna kadagiti nasion a nangraut kadakuada? Napapatay kadi da Jacob ken Israel a kas iti pannakapapatay dagiti nasion a pinapatayda?
[But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
8 Iti umiso a pangrukod a nakapnekam a nangpapanaw kada Jacob ken Israel; pinapanawna ida babaen iti napigsa nga anginna, iti aldaw ti angin nga agtaud iti daya.
[No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
9 Isu nga iti daytoy a wagas, mabayadanto ti basol ni Jacob, ta daytoyto ti naan-anay a bunga ti panangtallikudna iti basolna: Pagbalinennanto dagiti amin nga altar a bato a kasla tisa ken napulbos, ket awanto ti agtalinaed a nakatakder nga adigi ni Asera wenno dagiti altar a pagidatdatonan iti insenso.
Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
10 Ta nadadael ti nasarikedkedan a siudad, ti pagnanaedan ket napanawan ken nabaybay-an a kas iti let-ang. Ket sadiay adda agarab a baka, ken sadiay nga aginana ken mangan kadagiti sanga daytoy.
The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
11 Inton magango dagiti sanga, matukkoldanto. Mapanto urnongen dagiti babbai ket pagsungroddanto dagitoy, gapu ta saan ida a tattao ti pannakaawat. Isu a saanto a maasi kadakuada ti Nangparsua kadakuada, ket saanto a maasian ti namarsua kadakuada.
[The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
12 Ket inton aldaw nga agirikto ni Yahweh manipud iti agay-ayus a Karayan Eufrates agingga iti waig ti Egipto, ket maurnongkayonto a saggaysa, tattao ti Israel.
[However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
13 Iti dayta nga aldaw addanto mapuyotan a dakkel a trumpeta; ket umayto dagiti mapukpukaw idiay daga ti Asiria ken dagiti napagtalaw idiay daga ti Egipto, idaydayawdanto ni Yahweh iti nasantoan a bantay idiay Jerusalem.
At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
