Isaias 40
1 “Liwliwaenyo, liwliwaenyo dagiti tattaok,” kuna ti Diosyo.
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says 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 to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare has been completed, That her punishment has been accepted, That she has received from the hand of YHWH 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.”
A voice is crying in a wilderness: “Prepare the way of YHWH, Make straight in a 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 is raised up, And every mountain and hill become low, And the crooked place has become a plain, And the entangled places a valley.
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 YHWH has been revealed, And all flesh have seen [it] together, For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.”
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.
A voice is saying, “Call,” And he said, “What do I call?” All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodness [Is] as a 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.
Grass has withered, the flower faded, For the Spirit of YHWH blew on it, Surely the people [is] grass;
8 Magango ti ruot, malaylay ti sabong ngem ti sao ti Dios ket mataginayon.”
Grass has withered, the flower faded, But a word of our God rises forever.
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!”
Get up on a high mountain, O Zion, Proclaiming tidings, Lift up your voice with power, O Jerusalem, proclaiming tidings, Lift up, do not fear, say to 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, Lord YHWH comes with strength, And His arm is ruling for Him, Behold, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage 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 feeds His flock as a shepherd, He gathers lambs with His arm, And He carries [them] in His bosom: He leads suckling ones.
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 has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, And has meted out the heavens by a span, And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, And has 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 has meted out the Spirit of YHWH, And [being] His counselor, teaches 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 [did] He consult, That he causes Him to understand? And teaches Him in the path of judgment, And teaches Him knowledge? And causes Him to know 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, nations [are] as a drop from a bucket, And have been reckoned as small dust of the balance, Behold, He takes up islands as a small 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 its beasts sufficient for a burnt-offering.
17 Amin a nasion ket saan nga umdas iti sangoananna; imbilangna ida nga awan serserbida.
All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him.
18 Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo iti Dios? Iti ania a didiosen ti pangipadaanyo kenkuana?
And to whom do you liken God, And what likeness do you compare to Him?
19 Iti maysa a didiosen! Sukogen daytoy ti maysa a dumidisenio; pakalupkopan daytoy ti mammanday iti balitok ken imontaranna iti pirak a kawar.
An artisan has poured out the carved image, And a refiner spreads it over with gold, And he is refining chains of silver.
20 Tapno mangidaton, mangpili isuna iti kayo a saan a bakbaken; agbirok isuna iti kumikitikit nga agaramid iti didiosen a saan a matuang.
He who is poor [by] raised-offerings, Chooses a tree [that is] not rotten, He seeks a skillful artisan for it, To establish a carved image—not 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?
Do you not know—do you not hear? Has it not been declared from the first to you? Have you 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.
He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out the heavens as a thin thing, And spreads them as a tent to dwell in.
23 Pabassitenna dagiti mangiturturay ken ar-aramidenna ida nga awan pategda ditoy daga.
He who is making princes become nothing, Has made judges of earth formless;
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.
Indeed, they have not been planted, Indeed, they have not been sown, Indeed, their stock is not taking root in the earth, And He has also blown on them, and they wither, And a whirlwind takes them away as stubble.
25 “Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo kaniak, siasino ti kalanglangak?” kuna ti Nasantoan a Dios.
And to whom do you liken Me, And [to whom] I equal? Says 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 see—who has created these? He who is bringing out their host by number, He calls to all of them by name, By the abundance of His strength And mighty power, Not one is lacking.
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 say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way has been hid from YHWH, And from my God my judgment passes over?”
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.
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The God of the age—YHWH, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His understanding.
29 Pappapigsaenna dagiti nabannog; ken pabpabaroenna ti regget dagiti nakapuy.
He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong He increases might.
30 Uray dagiti agtutubo ket mabannog ken agkapuy, ken dagiti ubbing ket maitibkol ken maitublak;
Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men utterly stumble,
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 those expecting YHWH pass [to] power, They raise up the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on and do not faint!
