Isaias 40
1 “Liwliwaenyo, liwliwaenyo dagiti tattaok,” kuna ti Diosyo.
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Agsaokayo a naalumanay iti Jerusalem; ken ipakaammoyo kenkuana a naglippasen ti pannakigubatna, a napakawanen dagiti nagbasolanna, ta inawatnan manipud iti ima ni Yahweh iti namindua a daras ti supapak iti amin a basbasolna.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.
3 Maysa a timek ti agpukpukaw, “Iti let-ang, isaganayo ti dalan ni Yahweh; iti Araba, palintegenyo ti dalan nga agpaay iti Diostayo.”
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Tunggal tanap ket ngumatonto, ken tunggal bantay ken turod ket mapatad; ken dagiti likka-likkaong ken lasonglasong a daga ket mapatadto
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 ken ti dayag ni Yahweh ket maiparangarangto, ken sangsangkamaysanto a makita daytoy dagiti amin a tattao; ta insao daytoy ti ngiwat ni Yahweh.
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
6 Kuna ti maysa a timek, “Agsangitka.” Simmungbat ti maysa, “Ania ngay ti isangitak?” “Amin a lasag ket kasla ruot, ken ti kinapudnoda iti tulag ket kasla sabong iti tay-ak.
The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the field:
7 Magango dagiti ruot ken malaylay ti sabong no agpuyopoy ti anges ni Yahweh iti daytoy; pudno unay a ti sangkataoan ket kasla ruot.
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
8 Magango ti ruot, malaylay ti sabong ngem ti sao ti Dios ket mataginayon.”
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
9 Sumang-atka iti tapaw ti nangato a bantay, O Sion a taga-iwaragawag iti naimbag a damag, ket ipukkawmo ti timekmo a buyogam ti pigsa; iwaragawagmo ti naimbag a damag iti Jerusalem. Ipukkawmo; saanka nga agbuteng. Ibagam kadagiti siudad ti Juda, “Adtoy ti Diosyo!”
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Kitaem, um-ummay ti Apo a ni Yahweh a kas maysa a naballigi a mannakigubat, ken ti nabileg nga imana ti mangiturturay para kenkuana. Kitaem, adda kenkuana iti gungunana, ket umun-una kenkuana ti pagsupapakna.
Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand], and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
11 Taraonanna ti arbanna a kas iti maysa nga agpapastor, ummongenna iti takkiagna dagiti urbon a karnero, ken awitenna ida iti asideg ti pusona, ken naannadnanto nga idauloan dagiti kabaian a karnero nga apaspasuso kadagiti urbonda.
He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Siasino ti nangsukat iti danum iti dakulap ti imana, nangrukod iti kinalawa ti tangatang, nangummong iti tapuk ti lubong iti maysa a basket, nangtimbang kadagiti banbantay wenno turturod iti pagtimbangan?
Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Siasino ti makaammo iti panunot ni Yahweh, wenno nangisuro kenkuana a kas mammagbagana?
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his counsellor hath taught him?
14 Adda kadin ti nangbalakad kenkuana? Siasino ti nangisuro kenkuana iti husto a wagas a mangaramid kadagiti banbanag, ken nangisuro kenkuana iti pannakaammo, wenno nangipakita kenkuana iti dalan ti pannakaawat?
With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15 Kitaenyo, dagiti nasion ket maiyarig iti maysa a tedted iti timba, ken naibilang a kasla tapok iti pagtimbangan; kitaenyo, timtimbangenna dagiti puro a kasla mulit.
Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16 Saan nga umdas a pagsungrod ti Lebanon, wenno dagiti atap nga ayup dagitoy ket saan nga umdas para iti daton a mapuoran.
And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 Amin a nasion ket saan nga umdas iti sangoananna; imbilangna ida nga awan serserbida.
All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18 Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo iti Dios? Iti ania a didiosen ti pangipadaanyo kenkuana?
To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
19 Iti maysa a didiosen! Sukogen daytoy ti maysa a dumidisenio; pakalupkopan daytoy ti mammanday iti balitok ken imontaranna iti pirak a kawar.
The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20 Tapno mangidaton, mangpili isuna iti kayo a saan a bakbaken; agbirok isuna iti kumikitikit nga agaramid iti didiosen a saan a matuang.
He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved.
21 Saanyo kadi a naammoan? Saanyo kadi a nangngeg? Saan kadi a naibaga kadakayo manipud idi punganay? Saanyo kadi a naawatan manipud iti pannaka-ipundasion iti lubong?
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 Isuna ti agtugtugaw iti ngatoen ti daga; ken dagiti agtataeng ket kasla kadagiti dudon iti sangoananna. Iyuk-ukradna dagiti langit a kasla kurtina ken iwarwarasna dagitoy a kas tolda a pagyanan.
[It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 Pabassitenna dagiti mangiturturay ken ar-aramidenna ida nga awan pategda ditoy daga.
That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Kitaenyo, saanda unay a naimula; kitaenyo, saanda unay a naiwaris; kitaenyo, saanda unay a rimmamot iti daga, sakbay pay a puyotanna ida, ket aglaylaydan, ken itayab ida ti pul-oy ti angin a kasla arutang.
Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 “Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo kaniak, siasino ti kalanglangak?” kuna ti Nasantoan a Dios.
To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Tumangadkayo iti tangatang! Siasino ti nangparsua amin kadagitoy a bitbituen? Tinudinganna dagitoy kadagiti puestoda ken aw-awaganna amin ida iti naganda. Babaen iti kinatan-ok ti bilegna ken babaen iti pigsa ti pannakabalinna, awan ti uray maysa a mapukpukaw.
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Jacob, apay a kunaem, ken Israel, apay nga ipaduyakyakmo, “Nailinged kenni Yahweh ti dalanko, ken awan ti pakaseknan ti Diosko maipapan iti panangikalintegak?”
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Saanyo kadi a naammoan? Saanyo kadi a nangngeg? Ti agnanayon a Dios a ni Yahweh, a Namarsua iti pagpatinggaan ti daga ket saan a mabannog wenno agkapsut; awan ti pagpatinggaan ti pannakaawatna.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
29 Pappapigsaenna dagiti nabannog; ken pabpabaroenna ti regget dagiti nakapuy.
He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
30 Uray dagiti agtutubo ket mabannog ken agkapuy, ken dagiti ubbing ket maitibkol ken maitublak;
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 ngem dagiti agur-uray kenni Yahweh ket pabaroenda ti pigsada; agtayabda nga addaan iti payyak a kasla kadagiti agila; agtaraydanto ket saanda a mabannog; magnadanto ket saanda a matalimudaw.
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
