Isaias 30
1 “Asi pay dagiti nasukir nga annak,” daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh. “Agplanoda, ngem saan nga aggapu kaniak; tumiponda kadagiti dadduma a nasion, ngem saan ida nga indalan ti Espirituk, isu a nayunanda ti basolda.
Yahweh says, “Terrible things will happen to you, my people who rebel against me. You make plans, but what you plan is not what I want. You have made an alliance [with the rulers of Egypt], but you did not ask my Spirit [if that was what you should do]. By doing that, you have increased the number of your sins.
2 Ikeddengda a sumalog idiay Egipto, ngem saanda a dinawat ti panangidalanko. Dawatenda ti panangsalaknib ti Faraon ken agkamangda iti salinong ti Egipto.
You went to Egypt [to ask their rulers for help], without asking for my advice. You have trusted in [the army of] the king of Egypt to protect you; you have [trusted in them] [like] people sit in the shade [to protect themselves from the sun] [MET].
3 Ngarud, ti panangsalaknib ti Faraon ti pakaibabainanyonto, ken ti panagkamangyo iti salinong ti Egipto ti pannakaibabainyo,
[But] the result of your trusting in the king of Egypt is that you will be [disappointed and] disgraced; because of trusting in him, you will be humiliated.
4 nupay adda idiay Zoan dagiti prinsipeda ken napan idiay Hanes dagiti mensaheroda.
Officials/ambassadors [from Judah] have gone to Zoan and Hanes [cities in Egypt to make treaties],
5 Mabaindanto amin gapu kadagiti tattao a saan a makatulong kadakuada, kadagiti saan a makatulong wenno pakairanudan, no di ket pakaibabainan ken pakaibabaan.”
but all those [who trust in the King of Egypt] will be humiliated, because that nation will not be able to help you; the treaty that you have made [requesting help from them] will be useless; instead, the result will be that you will be humiliated and disgraced [DOU].”
6 Pakaammo maipapan iti narungsot nga ayup ti Negeb: Lumasatda iti daga ti riribok ken peggad, iti kabaian ken kalakian a leon, ti karasaen, ken ti nakabutbuteng a dragon, awitda dagiti kinabaknangda kadagiti bukot dagiti asnoda, ken dagiti gamengda iti bukot dagiti kamelioda, kadagiti tattao a saan a makatulong kadakuada.
[I received from Yahweh] this message about the animals in the southern part of Judah: That area is one where [people experience a lot of] troubles and difficulties, an area where there are male and female lions and various kinds of poisonous snakes. Caravans go through that area taking donkeys and camels loaded with valuable goods. [They are taking them] to Egypt to seek for protection [by the army of Egypt], [but] it will be useless.
7 Ta awan serserbi ti tulong ti Egipto, isu a pinanaganak daytoy iti Rahab nga agtugtugaw lattan.
The promises made by [the king of] Egypt are worthless; therefore I call Egypt ‘the sea monster/dragon that does nothing’.
8 Mapanka itan, isuratmo iti sangoananda, iti maysa a tapi ti bato, ken isuratmo iti nalukot a pagbasaan, tapno mapagtalinaed daytoy para iti masakbayan kas maysa a pammaneknek.
Yahweh told me to write on a scroll a message, in order that it would be a witness [to the people of Judah] that would endure forever.
9 Ta nasukir dagitoy a tattao, ulbod nga annak, annak a saan a dumngeg iti bilin ni Yahweh.
[It would remind them] that they are deceitful and always rebelling against Yahweh; they refuse to pay attention to what he tells/teaches them.
10 Kunada kadagiti makakitkita iti masakbayan, “Saanka a kumita;” ken kadagiti profeta, “Saankayo a mangipadto iti pudno kadakami; ibagayo kadakami dagiti nasayaat a banbanag; mangipadtokayo kadagiti panangallilaw;
They tell the people who see/receive visions [from Yahweh], “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Do not reveal to us what is right! Tell us pleasant things; do not tell us visions about things that are true!
11 aglisikayo iti pagnaan; aglisikayo iti dalan; iyadayoyo iti sangoananmi ti Nasantoan ti Israel.”
Stop doing what you have been doing [DOU]; stop telling us what the Holy One of Israel [says to us]!”
12 Ngarud, kuna ti Nasantoan ti Israel, “Gapu ta linaksidyo daytoy a sao ken nagtalekkayo iti pannakaidadanes ken panangallilaw ken mangnamnamakayo iti daytoy,
Therefore, this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “You have rejected my message, and you are relying on those who oppress and deceive others.
13 daytoy ngarud a basol para kadakayo ket kas iti naburburak a paset a dandanin matnag, kas iti maysa a paset ti nangato a pader a ti pannakatnagna ket saan a mapakpakadaan, iti apagdarikmat.”
Therefore, the result of your sin [of rejecting me] will be that you will [suddenly experience disasters]; what will happen to you will be like [SIM] a cracked wall that suddenly collapses [DOU].
14 Burakenna daytoy kas iti naburak a banga ti maysa nga agdamdamili; saanna a kailalaan daytoy, ket awanton a pulos ti masarakan kadagiti pidaso daytoy a naburak a mabalin a pagadaw iti apuy iti langlang ti urno, wenno pagtako iti danum manipud iti bubon.
You will be smashed like a clay jar is smashed [when it is dropped], and it shatters completely, with the result that there is not one piece big enough to carry some coals from a stove or to carry a little bit of water from a well.”
15 Ta daytoy ti kuna ti Apo a ni Yahweh, a Nasantoan ti Israel, “Iti panagsubli ken panaginana ket maisalakankayonto; iti kinaulimek ken iti panagtalek ket isunto ti pigsayo. Ngem saankayo nga umannugot.
Yahweh, [our] God, the Holy One of Israel, [also] says this: “You will be rescued [from your enemies only] if you repent and trust [in what I will do for you]; you will be strong [only] if you quit worrying and trust in me. But you do not want [to do that].
16 Kunayo, 'Saan, ta aglibaskami babaen kadagiti kabalio,' isu nga aglibaskayo; ken, 'Agsakaykami kadagiti napapartak a kabalio,' isu a napartakto dagiti mangkamat kadakayo.
You said, ‘No, we will escape on horses [that the army of Egypt will give us]!’ So, you will [try to] flee. You said, ‘We will [escape from the army of Assyria] by riding on swift horses!’ [But] those who pursue you will [also ride] swiftly.
17 Aglibasto ti sangaribo kadakayo babaen iti panangbutbuteng iti maysa; babaen iti panangbutbuteng iti lima aglibaskayonto agingga a dagiti mabati kadakayo ket kas iti maysa a poste ti bandera iti tapaw ti bantay, wenno kas iti maysa a bandera iti tapaw ti turod.”
[As a result], 1,000 [of you] will flee when [only] one of them pursues you! When only five [of their soldiers] threaten [to kill you], [all of] will flee. [Only a few of] you will be left, like [SIM] a [single] flagpole on top of a mountain with one signal flag on the pole.”
18 Ngem agur-uray ni Yahweh a tapno kaasiannakayo. Ngarud, maitan-okto isuna, ken sisasagana a mangaasi kadakayo. Ta ni Yahweh ket Dios ti hustisia; nagasat dagiti amin a manguray kenkuana.
[But] wants to be kind to you; he desires to show you that he is merciful. [Do not forget that] Yahweh is a God who acts justly; he is pleased with those who patiently trust in him.
19 Ta agnaedto dagiti tattao iti Sion, idiay Jerusalem, ket saankayonton nga agsangit pay. Sigurado a kaassiannakayo iti panagsangityo. No mangngegna daytoy, sungbatannakayonto.
You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU], [some day] you will not cry any more. Yahweh will be kind to you when you call out to him for help. He will answer/help you as soon as he hears you call.
20 Uray no ipapaay kadakayo ni Yahweh ti tinapay ti kinarigat ken ti danum ti panagsagaba, saanton a pulos nga aglemmeng ti mannursuroyo, ngem makitayonto a mismo ti mannursuroyo babaen kadagiti bukodyo a mata.
Although [now] Yahweh has caused you to [daily] experience [MET] great troubles and suffer much, [he], your teacher, will not hide himself from you. He [SYN] will teach you many things clearly.
21 Makangngegto dagiti lapayagmo iti sao iti likudam nga agkunkuna, “Daytoy ti dalan, magnaka iti daytoy” no agbaw-ingka iti kannawan wenno iti kannigid.
And you will hear him speak to you to guide you. [Right] behind you he will say, “This is the road on which you should walk; walk on this road!”
22 Dadaelenyonto dagiti adda kadakayo a nakitikitan nga imahe a nakalupkopan iti pirak ken dagiti balitok a nasukog nga imahe. Ibellengyonto ida a kas iti narugit a pagpigadan. Ibagayonto kadagitoy, “Pumanawkayo ditoy.”
When that happens, you will destroy [all] your idols that are covered with silver or gold. You will throw them away like you throw away a filthy rag, and you will say to them, “We do not need you any more!”
23 Ipaaynanto ti tudo para kadagiti bukelyo inton mulaanyo ti daga, ken addanto nawadwad a tinapay manipud iti daga. Ket adunto dagiti mulmula. Iti dayta nga aldaw, agarabto dagiti bakayo kadagiti nalawa a pagpasturan.
[If you do that], Yahweh will bless you by giving you good rain at the time that you plant your crops. You will have good harvests, and plenty of pasture with grass for your cattle to eat.
24 Manganto dagiti baka ken asno a pagar-aradoyo iti naimas a naitaep babaen iti pala ken tinidor.
After the wind [blows away the chaff], the oxen and donkeys that [pull the plow to] plow your ground will have good grain to eat.
25 Iti tunggal nangato a bantay ken turod, adunto ti agayus a waig ken karayan, iti aldaw ti nakaro a panangpapatay inton marba dagiti tore.
At that time, when [your enemies] have been slaughtered and their towers have (collapsed/been destroyed), there will be streams flowing down every hill and mountain [in Judah].
26 Ti raniag ti bulan ket kaslanto iti raniag ti init, ken rumaniagto pay iti mamimpito a daras ti raniag ti init, kas iti raniag ti init iti pito nga aldaw. Bedbedanto ni Yahweh ti sugat dagiti tattaona ken agasannanto dagiti dunor ti panangsugatna kadakuada.
The moon will seem to shine as brightly as the sun, and the sun will seem to shine seven times as brightly as previously. That is what it will be like when Yahweh causes [the suffering of] his people [to cease; it will be as though] [MET] he will be putting bandages on their wounds and healing them.
27 Kitaem, ti nagan ni Yahweh ket umay manipud iti adayo a lugar, umap-apuy iti pungtotna ken addaan iti napuskol nga asok. Napno dagiti bibigna iti pungtot, ken ti dilana ket kas iti mangikisap nga apuy.
[It is as though] we see Yahweh coming from far away; he is extremely angry, and there are thick clouds of smoke around him. By what he says [MTY] he shows that he is angry; what he says is like [SIM] a devastating/destructive fire.
28 Ti angesna ket kas iti agliplippias a layus a dumanon agingga iti tengnged, tapno sagaten dagiti nasion babaen iti sagat ti pannakadadael. Ti angesna ket kasla busal kadagiti sangi dagiti tattao a mangpaalla-alla kadakuada.
His breath is like [SIM] a flood that covers [his enemies] up to their necks. He will separate [MET] the nations in order to destroy [some of them]; [it is as though] he will put hooks in their mouths and take them away.
29 Maaddaankayonto iti kanta a kas iti kanta iti rabii no kasta a rambakan ti nasantoan a fiesta, ken kinaragsak ti puso, ken no kasta nga agpatpatukar iti plauta ti tao nga agturong iti bantay ni Yahweh, iti Bato ti Israel.
But [his people] will sing joyfully like they sing during the nights when they celebrate a holy festival. They will be very joyful, like [SIM] [a large group of his people] are joyful when they go up to Zion Hill in Jerusalem, along with men playing flutes [when they are all going there to worship Yahweh]. He is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which [we] Israeli people [are safe].
30 Ipangngegto ni Yahweh ti kinadayag ti timekna, ipakitananto ti garaw ti takkiagna babaen iti kasla bagyo a pungtot ken iti gil-ayab ti apuy, iti napigsa nga angin, napigsa a tudo ken uraro.
And Yahweh will enable [us] to hear him speaking powerfully/majestically. He will show us that he [SYN] is very powerful. [We] will see him [SYN] smash [his enemies]. Being very angry, he will descend with a big rainstorm and thunder and hail [to punish them].
31 Ta babaen iti timek ni Yahweh, madadaelto ti Asiria; bautennanto ida babaen iti sarukod.
[The soldiers of] Assyria will be terrified when they hear the voice of Yahweh and when he strikes them with his rod.
32 Ket iti tunggal pannakailayat ti naituding a sarukod nga ilayat ni Yahweh kadakuada ket danggayanto iti musika ti tamborin ken arpa kabayatan a gubgubaten ken karangrangetna ida.
And while Yahweh strikes them to punish them, [his people] will [celebrate by] playing tambourines and harps. [It will be as though] Yahweh will lift up his powerful hand/arm and defeat the Assyrian army in battle.
33 Ta adda naisaganan a lugar a pagpuoran idi pay laeng. Kinapudnona, naisagana daytoy para iti ari, ken inaramid ti Dios daytoy a nauneg ken nalawa. Nakasaganan ti gabsuon ti adu a kaykayo a pagaron. Ti anges ni Yahweh, a kasla karayan nga asufre, ket pasgedannanto daytoy.
[The valley of] Topheth [outside Jerusalem] has been prepared for a long time; it is ready for the king [of Assyria]; the (funeral pyre/pile of wood) [for burning his body] is wide and high, and [it will be as though] Yahweh will light the fire with his breath, which will come out like a stream of burning sulfur.
