< Isaias 41 >
1 Dumgngegkayo kaniak a siuulimek, dakayo a dagdaga iti adayo; pabaroen koma dagiti nasion ti pigsada; umasidegda koma ket agsaoda; agiinnasidegtayo tapno aglilinnawagtayo.
Keep silence, and hear me, ye distant lands. Ye nations, gather your strength! Let them come near; then let them speak; Let us go together into judgment.
2 Siasino ti nangsugsog iti maysa a taga-daya? Siasino ti nangayab kenkuana tapno agserbi kenkuana? Impaimana dagiti nasion kenkuana ken nangted kenkuana iti pannakabael a mangparmek kadagiti ar-ari; ar-aramidenna ida a kasla tapuk babaen iti kampilanna, a kasla naitayab a punget iti baina.
Who hath raised up from the region of the East Him whom victory meeteth in his march? Who hath subdued nations before him, And given him dominion over kings? Who made their swords like dust, And their bows like driven stubble?
3 Kamkamatenna ida ken lumablabas a saan a maan-ano, iti napartak a pagnaan a saan pay a nasagid dagiti sakana.
He pursued them, and passed in safety, By a path which his foot had never trodden.
4 Siasino ti nangaramid ken nangtungpal kadagitoy nga ar-aramid? Siasino ti nangayab kadagiti kaputotan manipud idi punganay? Siak a ni Yahweh ti umuna ken ti maudi, siak daydiay.
Who hath wrought and done it? I, who have called the generations from the beginning, I, Jehovah, the first; And with the last also am I.
5 Nakita dagiti purpuro ket nagbutengda; nagpigerger dagiti pagpatinggaan ti daga; umasidegda ken umayda.
Distant nations saw it, and were afraid; The ends of the earth, and trembled; They drew near, and came together.
6 Tultulongan ti tunggal maysa ti kaarubana, ken ibagada iti tunggal maysa, 'Bumilegka.'
One helped another, And said to him, “Be of good courage!”
7 Isu a parparegtaen ti karpintero ti mammanday, ken parparegtaen ti agmarmartilyo ti agtaltaltal ti pasnaan, a kunana iti aglinlinang, ‘Nagsayaat ti pannakalinangna.’ Inlansada daytoy tapno saanto daytoy a matnag.
The carpenter encouraged the smith, He that smoothed with the hammer him that smote on the anvil, And said, “The soldering is good,” And he fastened it with nails that it might not fall.
8 Ngem sika Israel nga adipenko, Jacob a pinilik, nga anak ni Abraham a gayyemko,
But thou, O Israel, my servant, Thou, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Offspring of Abraham, my friend!
9 sika nga isubsublik manipud kadagiti murdong ti daga, sika nga inawagak manipud kadagiti adayo a luglugar, ken ti nangibagaak, 'Sika ti adipenko;' Pinilika ken saanka a linaksid.
Thou, whom I have led by the hand from the ends of the earth, And called from the extremities thereof, And said to thee, “Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away!”
10 Saanka nga agbuteng ta addaak kenka. Saanka a madanagan ta siak ti Diosmo. Papigsaenka, tulonganka ken ipangatoka babaen iti kannawan nga ima ti naikari a balligik.
Fear not, for I am with thee; Faint not, for I, thy God, will strengthen thee; I will help thee, and sustain thee, with my right hand of salvation!
11 Kitaenyo, amin a gumurgura kadakayo ket maipababa ken maibabainto; dagiti sumupsuppiat kadakayo ket kasdanto la awan ken mapukawdanto.
Behold, all who are enraged against thee Shall be ashamed and confounded; All that contend with thee Shall come to nothing and perish.
12 Sapulemto ket saanmo a masapulan dagiti nakisuppiat kenka; dagiti nakigubgubat kenka ket agbalinto a kasla awan, awan kapaypay-anda.
Thou shalt seek and not find Them that contend with thee; They shall come to nothing, and be no more, Who make war against thee.
13 Ta siak, ni Yahweh a Diosmo ti mangkibin iti makannawan nga imam, ibagak kenka, 'Saanka nga agbuteng; tulonganka.'
For I, Jehovah, am thy God, that holdeth thee by the right hand, That saith to thee, “Fear not, I am thy helper!”
14 Saanka nga agbuteng, Jacob, sika nga igges, ken dakayo a lallaki ti Israel; tulongankayonto” - daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh, a Mannubbotmo ken Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel.
Fear not, thou worm Jacob, thou feeble people of Israel! I am thy helper, saith Jehovah; Thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
15 “Kitaen, pagbalinenka a kasla natadem a pagtaltag; baro ken dua ti tademna; taltalgemto dagiti banbantay ken rumekem ida; aramidemto a kasla taep dagiti turturod.
Behold, I will make thee a thrashing-wain, sharp and new, With double edges; Thou shalt thrash the mountains, and beat them small, And make the hills as chaff.
16 Itaepmonto ida, ket itayabto ida ti angin; warawaraento ida ti angin. Agrag-okanto kenni Yahweh, agraokanto iti Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel.
Thou shalt winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, And the whirlwind shall scatter them. But thou shalt rejoice in Jehovah, And glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 Agbirok iti danum ti maparparigat ken agkasapulan ngem awan a pulos, ken agmaga dagiti dila gapu iti pannakawaw; Siak a ni Yahweh ket sumungbatto kadagiti kararagda; Siak a Dios ti Israel ket saankonto ida a baybay-an.
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, And their tongue is parched with thirst, I, Jehovah, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.
18 Pagayusekto dagiti waig kadagiti turturod, ken dagiti ubbog iti tengnga dagiti tanap; Pagbalinekto a dan-aw ti danum ti disierto ken ti natikag a daga nga ubbog ti danum.
I will open rivers upon the bare hills, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water.
19 Iti let-ang, agtubonto ti sedro, ti akasia, ti arayan ken ti kayo ti olibo; pagtuboekto iti disierto ti saleng, ti aruo ken ti parwa.
I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia, The myrtle and the olive-tree; I will place in the desert the cypress, The plane-tree and the larch together.
20 Aramidekto daytoy tapno makita, mabigbig, ken maawatan dagiti tattao nga inaramid daytoy ti ima ni Yahweh, a pinarsua daytoy ti Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel.
That they may see, and know, And consider, and understand together, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And that the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Ibagayo ti darumyo,” kuna ni Yahweh; 'iparangyo ti kasayaatan a pammaneknekyo nga agpaay kadagiti didiosenyo,” kuna ti Ari ni Jacob.
Bring forward your cause, saith Jehovah; Produce your strong reasons, saith the king of Jacob.
22 Yegda koma kadakami dagiti bukodda a pammaneknek; paumayenyo ida iti sangoanan ken ipakaammoda kadakami no ania ti mapasamak, tapno maammoanmi a nalaing dagitoy a banbanag. Ibagada koma kadakami dagiti immuna nga impadtoda a pakaammo tapno utobenmi dagitoy ken ammoenmi ti pannakapatungpal dagitoy.
Let them produce them, and show us what shall happen! Tell us what ye have predicted in times past, That we may consider, and know its fulfilment! Or declare to us things that are to come!
23 Ibagayo dagiti banbanag maipapan iti masakbayan tapno maammoanmi no dioskayo; agaramidkayo iti naimbag wenno dakes tapno agbuteng ken masdaawkami.
Let us hear what shall happen in future times, That we may know whether ye are gods; Do something, be it good or evil, That we may be astonished, and see it together!
24 Kitaenyo, awan serserbi dagiti didiosenyo ken dagiti aramidyo; ti mangpili kadakayo ket makarimon.
Behold, ye are less than nothing, And your work is less than naught; An abomination is he that chooseth you!
25 Nangpataudak iti maysa a tao manipud iti ammianan ket umay isuna; manipud iti isisingising ti init, inayabak isuna nga umaw-awag iti naganko, ket ibaddeknanto a kasla pitak dagiti mangiturturay, kas iti dumadamili a mangibaddebaddek iti pila.
I have raised up one from the north, and he cometh; From the rising of the sun he calleth upon my name; He trampleth upon princes as upon mortar; As the potter treadeth down the clay.
26 Siasino ti nangiwaragawag iti daytoy manipud idi punganay, tapno maammoantayo? Ken sakbay a nangrugi ti tiempo tapno maibagatayo, “Husto isuna?” Ngem kinapudnona, awan ti nangipablaak iti daytoy, wen, awan ti nakangngeg nga adda ti aniaman nga imbagayo.
Who hath declared this from the beginning, that we might know it, And long ago, that we might say, It is true? There was not one that foretold it, not one that declared it, Not one that heard your words.
27 Immuna a kinunak iti Sion, “Kitaenyo, adtoydan;” Nangibaonak iti maysa a mangipadamag iti Jerusalem.
I first said to Zion, Behold! behold them! And I gave to Jerusalem a messenger of glad tidings.
28 Idi kimmitaak, awan a pulos, awan ti uray maysa kadakuada a makaited iti nasayaat a pammagbaga, ti makasungbat iti saludsodko.
I looked, but there was no man; Even among them, but there was none that gave counsel; I inquired of them that they might give an answer;
29 Kitaenyo, awan serserbida amin ken dagiti ar-aramidda ket awan serserbina; dagiti sinukogda nga imahe ket angin ken kinaubbaw.
But behold, they are all vanity; Their works are nothing; Wind and emptiness are their molten images.
