Isaias 3
1 Wen, ti Apo a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, ket dandaninan nga ipanaw ti tulong ken sarukod manipud iti Jerusalem ken Juda: ti sibubukel nga abasto ti tinapay, ken ti sibubukel nga abasto ti danum;
The Commander of the armies of angels is about to take away from Jerusalem and [other places in] Judea everything that you depend on— all your food and water.
2 dagiti nabileg a lallaki, dagiti mannakigubat, dagiti ukom, dagiti profeta, dagiti mammuyon, ti panglakayen;
He will take away your heroes and your [other] soldiers, your judges and your prophets, people who do rituals to find out what will happen in the future and the elders,
3 dagiti kapitan iti limapulo a soldado, dagiti mararaem nga umili, dagiti mammagbaga, dagiti nalaing nga agar-aramid kadagiti banbanag, ken dagiti nalaing a salamangkero.
army officers and [other] officials, advisors and skilled craftsmen and those who perform rituals to predict the future.
4 ”Mangikabilakto kadagiti agtutubo laeng a kas panguloda, ket iturayan ida dagiti ubbing.
He will appoint boys to be your leaders; your children will rule you.
5 Agpipinnarigatto dagiti tattao, ken kasta met dagiti agkakaarruba; sitatangsitto a suppiatento dagiti ubbing dagiti nataengan, ken karitento dagiti naibabain dagiti mararaem.
People will treat each other cruelly: people will fight against their neighbors. Young people will insult older people, and vulgar/dishonorable people will sneer at people who should be honored.
6 Tenglento pay ti lalaki ti kabsatna a lalaki iti balay ni amana ket kunana, 'Adda kagaymo; sika koma ti mangituray kadakami ket makaammoka koma iti daytoy a nadadael.'
At that time, someone will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house and say to him, “You have a coat, [which shows that you are respected]. [So] you be our leader! You rule this [city, which is now] a pile of ruins!”
7 Iti dayta nga aldaw agpukkawto isuna a kunana, ‘Saanakto nga agbalin a mangngagas; awan iti tinapay wenno kawesko. Saandak a pagbalinen a mangituray kadagiti tattao.”'
[But] his brother will reply, “[No], I cannot help you, [because] I do not have [any extra] food or clothes in this house. [So] do not appoint me to be your leader!”
8 Ta nadadaelen ti Jerusalem, ken narpuogen ti Juda, gapu ta maibusor kenni Yahweh dagiti sao ken tignayda, karkaritenda ti turayna.
Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah will be destroyed, because [everything] that the people do and say there opposes Yahweh, who is powerful and glorious, and they refuse to obey him. They rebel against him.
9 Makita kadagiti rupada ti kinasukirda; ket ibagbagada ti basolda a kas iti Sodoma; saanda nga ilemmeng daytoy. Asida pay! Ta nangiyegda iti dakkel a pakaisagmakan kadagiti bagbagida.
They even show on their faces that [they oppose Yahweh]. They are proud of their sins, like [the people of] Sodom were [long ago]; they do not try to hide their sins. [Because of their sins], terrible things will happen to them, [but] they will bring those disasters on themselves.
10 Ibagayo iti nalinteg a tao a nasayaatto ti masakbayanna; ta lak-amennanto ti bunga dagiti aramidna.
[Yahweh told me to] tell the righteous people that good things will happen to them; they will enjoy the blessings that they will receive for their good deeds.
11 Asi pay dagiti nadangkes! Dakesto ti mapasamak kadakuada, ta no ania ti inaramid dagiti imana isunto ti maawatna. Dagiti tattaok- ubbing dagiti mangparparigat kadakuada, ken babbai dagiti mangiturturay kadakuada.
[But] terrible things will happen to wicked people; they will be (paid back/punished) for [the evil things that] [MTY] they have done.
12 Dakayo a tattaok, iyaw-awandakayo dagiti panguloyo ket saanyo nga ammo iti turturongenyo.
[Now], youths [who have become leaders] treat my people cruelly, and women rule over my people. My people, your leaders are misleading you; they are causing you to go down the wrong road [MET].
13 Timmakder ni Yahweh tapno mangngeddeng iti pangukoman; timmakder isuna tapno ukomenna dagiti tattaona.
[It is as though] Yahweh has sat in his place in a courtroom and is ready to judge his people.
14 Ibaganto ni Yahweh ti pangngeddengna maipanggep kadagiti panglakayen ken kadagiti opisial dagiti tattaona: “Inibusyoyo ti kaubasan; ti nasamsam manipud kadagiti marigrigat ket adda kadagiti balbalayyo.
He will stand up to declare why the elders and rulers of his people should be punished: [he says], “The people of Israel are [like] [MET] a vineyard that I planted, but you have ruined it! Your houses are full of things that you have stolen from poor people.
15 Apay a tumekenyo dagiti tattaok ken gilingenyo ti rupa dagiti marigrigat?” Daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
You should stop [RHQ] crushing my people! [It is as though] you are pushing the faces of poor people into the dirt!” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
16 Imbaga ni Yahweh a napannakkel dagiti annak a babbai ti Sion, ken natangigda a magmagna, ken manggargari dagiti matada, agkinnikinnida bayat iti pannagnada, ken pagkalingkingenda dagiti saksakada.
Yahweh says this: “The women of Jerusalem are haughty/proud; they walk around sticking their chins out, and flirting [with men] with their eyes. They walk with tiny steps with bracelets on their ankles that jingle.
17 Isu a paggaddilen ti Apo dagiti ulo dagiti annak a babbai ti Sion, ken pagkalboen ida ni Yahweh.
So I, Yahweh, will cause sores to be on their heads, and I will cause those beautiful women in Jerusalem to become bald.”
18 Iti dayta nga aldaw, ikkatento ti Apo dagiti napintas nga alahas kadagiti lipay-lipayda, dagiti bandana, dagiti simmagaysay nga arkos,
At the time [that Yahweh does that], he will strip away everything that the women of Jerusalem wear to make themselves beautiful—the ornaments on their ankles and their headbands, their crescent necklaces,
19 dagiti aritos, dagiti pulseras, ken dagiti belo;
their earrings and bracelets and veils,
20 dagiti punggos, dagiti kalingking kadagiti lipaylipay, dagiti barikes, ken dagiti kahon ti bangbanglo, ken dagiti an-anib.
their scarves and ankle bracelets and sashes, their perfumes and (charms/little things that they wear thinking that those things will protect them from evil),
21 Ikkatennanto dagiti singsing ken alahas a pang-agong,
their signet rings and nose rings,
22 dagiti kawes a pakirambak, dagiti kagay, dagiti belo, ken dagiti supot;
their nice robes and capes and cloaks and purses,
23 dagiti ig-iggaman a sarming, ti kasasayaatan a lino, dagiti abungot, ken dagiti naarkusan a kagay.
their mirrors and nice linen clothes and shawls.
24 Imbes a pabanglo, nabangsitto ti adda; ken imbes a barikes, maysa a tali; imbes a naurnos a buok, panagkalbo; ken imbes a maysa a kagay, maysa a pangkalob a nakirsang a lupot; ken birbiritto imbes a kinapintas.
Instead of their having a nice smell from perfume, they will stink; instead of nice sashes, they will have ropes [around their waists because they will be captives]. Instead of having fancy hairdos, they will be bald. Instead of fancy/beautiful robes, they will wear rough sackcloth, and instead of being beautiful, they will be branded.
25 Mapasagto dagiti tattaom babaen iti kampilan, ket mapasagto dagiti maingel a tattaom iti gubat.
Their husbands will be killed by [their enemies’] swords, and their soldiers [will also die] in battles.
26 Agdung-aw ken agladingitto dagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem; ket agmaymaysanto isuna ken agtugaw iti daga.
People [PRS] will mourn and cry at the gates [of the city]. The city will [be like] [MET] a woman who sits on the ground because everything that she owned is gone.
