< 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;
See, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff: the whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water,
2 dagiti nabileg a lallaki, dagiti mannakigubat, dagiti ukom, dagiti profeta, dagiti mammuyon, ti panglakayen;
the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the one who practices divination and the elder,
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.
the captain of fifty and the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
4 ”Mangikabilakto kadagiti agtutubo laeng a kas panguloda, ket iturayan ida dagiti ubbing.
“I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them.
5 Agpipinnarigatto dagiti tattao, ken kasta met dagiti agkakaarruba; sitatangsitto a suppiatento dagiti ubbing dagiti nataengan, ken karitento dagiti naibabain dagiti mararaem.
The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child will insult the elderly, and the degraded will challenge the honorable.
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.'
A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be in your hands.'
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.”'
On that day he will shout and say, 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing. You will not make me ruler of the people.'”
8 Ta nadadaelen ti Jerusalem, ken narpuogen ti Juda, gapu ta maibusor kenni Yahweh dagiti sao ken tignayda, karkaritenda ti turayna.
For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
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.
The look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have completed a catastrophe for themselves.
10 Ibagayo iti nalinteg a tao a nasayaatto ti masakbayanna; ta lak-amennanto ti bunga dagiti aramidna.
Tell the righteous person that it will be well, for they will eat the fruit of their 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.
Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for the recompense of his hands will be done to him.
12 Dakayo a tattaok, iyaw-awandakayo dagiti panguloyo ket saanyo nga ammo iti turturongenyo.
My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.
13 Timmakder ni Yahweh tapno mangngeddeng iti pangukoman; timmakder isuna tapno ukomenna dagiti tattaona.
Yahweh stands up for an accusation; he is standing to accuse the 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.
Yahweh will come with judgment against the elders of his people and their leaders: “You have ruined the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
15 Apay a tumekenyo dagiti tattaok ken gilingenyo ti rupa dagiti marigrigat?” Daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
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 that because the daughters of Zion are proud, they walk with their necks extended, with flirting eyes, walking with tiny steps as they go, making tinkling sounds from bracelets on their ankles.
17 Isu a paggaddilen ti Apo dagiti ulo dagiti annak a babbai ti Sion, ken pagkalboen ida ni Yahweh.
Therefore the Lord will form scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
18 Iti dayta nga aldaw, ikkatento ti Apo dagiti napintas nga alahas kadagiti lipay-lipayda, dagiti bandana, dagiti simmagaysay nga arkos,
On that day the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
19 dagiti aritos, dagiti pulseras, ken dagiti belo;
the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
20 dagiti punggos, dagiti kalingking kadagiti lipaylipay, dagiti barikes, ken dagiti kahon ti bangbanglo, ken dagiti an-anib.
the headscarves, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
21 Ikkatennanto dagiti singsing ken alahas a pang-agong,
He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
22 dagiti kawes a pakirambak, dagiti kagay, dagiti belo, ken dagiti supot;
the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
23 dagiti ig-iggaman a sarming, ti kasasayaatan a lino, dagiti abungot, ken dagiti naarkusan a kagay.
the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
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 sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-arranged hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
25 Mapasagto dagiti tattaom babaen iti kampilan, ket mapasagto dagiti maingel a tattaom iti gubat.
Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
26 Agdung-aw ken agladingitto dagiti ruangan ti Jerusalem; ket agmaymaysanto isuna ken agtugaw iti daga.
Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
