Isaias 31
1 Asi pay dagiti sumalog idiay Egipto tapno agpatulong ken dagiti agtalek kadagiti kabalio, ken dagiti agtalek kadagiti karwahe (gapu ta adu dagitoy) ken kadagiti agkabkabalio (gapu ta saan a mabilang dagitoy). Ngem saanda a pakaseknan ti maipapan iti Nasantoan ti Israel, wenno saanda a sapulen ni Yahweh!
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and lean on horses, and trust in chariots (for they are many) and in horsemen (for they are countless). But they are not concerned about the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Yahweh!
2 Ngem nasirib isuna, ket idissuornanto ti didigra ken saannanto a baliwan dagiti saona. Ket busurennanto ti balay ti dakes ken dagiti mangtultulong kadagiti agar-aramid iti basol.
Yet he is wise, and he will bring disaster and will not retract his words. He will arise against the evil house and against the helpers of those who commit sin.
3 Ti Egipto ket tao saan ket a Dios, lasag laeng dagiti kabalioda saan ket nga espiritu. Inton igaw-at ni Yahweh ti imana, dagiti mangtultulong ket maitublakto, ken dagiti matultulongan ket matumbanto; agpadada a mapukaw.
Egypt is a man and not God, their horses flesh and not spirit. When Yahweh reaches out with his hand, both the one who helps will stumble, and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
4 Kastoy ti kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Kas iti leon, uray ti urbon a leon ket ngerngeranna ti kinemmegna a kanenna, no pukkawan daytoy ti maysa a bunggoy dagiti agpaspastor, saan daytoy nga agbuteng kadagiti timekda, wenno agtaray gapu iti pukkawda; kastanto met ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin inton umulog a makiranget idiay tapaw ti Bantay Sion, iti dayta a turod.
This is what Yahweh says to me, “As a lion, even a young lion, growls over its torn prey, when a group of shepherds is called out against it, but it does not tremble at their voices, nor creep away from their sound; thus Yahweh of hosts will descend to fight on Mount Zion, on that hill.
5 Kas kadagiti billit a tumaytayab, salaknibanto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti Jerusalem; salakniban ken ispalennanto inton lumabas isuna iti daytoy, ken ikanawana daytoy.
Like birds in flight, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem; he will protect and rescue as he passes over it and preserves it.
6 Agsublikayo kenkuana, dakayo a tattao ti Israel a timmallikod kenkuana.
Return to him from whom you have deeply turned away, people of Israel.
7 Ta iti dayta nga aldaw, tunggal maysa ket ibellengnanto dagiti didiosenna a pirak ken balitok a sibabasol nga inaramid dagiti imayo.
For in that day each one will get rid of his idols of silver and his idols of gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
8 Mapasagto ti Asiria babaen iti kampilan; maysa a kampilan a saan nga inaramid ti tao ti mangdadael iti daytoy. Aglibasto daytoy manipud iti kampilan, ket mapilitto dagiti agtutubo daytoy nga agtrabaho iti nadagsen.
Assyria will fall by the sword; a sword not wielded by man will consume him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will be forced to do hard labor.
9 Mapukawdanto ti amin a talekda gapu iti buteng, ket agbutengto dagiti prisipena iti imatang ti bandera ni Yahweh.” — Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh, a ti apuyna ket adda idiay Sion ken ti urnona ket adda idiay Jerusalem.
They will lose all confidence because of terror, and his princes will be afraid at the sight of Yahweh's battle flag— this is Yahweh's declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose firepot is in Jerusalem.”
