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 silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgement.
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 has raised up one from the east? Who called him to his feet in righteousness? He hands over nations to him and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
3 Kamkamatenna ida ken lumablabas a saan a maan-ano, iti napartak a pagnaan a saan pay a nasagid dagiti sakana.
He pursues them and passes by safely, even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
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 has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.”
5 Nakita dagiti purpuro ket nagbutengda; nagpigerger dagiti pagpatinggaan ti daga; umasidegda ken umayda.
The islands have seen, and fear. The ends of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
6 Tultulongan ti tunggal maysa ti kaarubana, ken ibagada iti tunggal maysa, 'Bumilegka.'
Everyone helps his neighbour. They say to their brothers, “Be strong!”
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.
So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, “It is good;” and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
8 Ngem sika Israel nga adipenko, Jacob a pinilik, nga anak ni Abraham a gayyemko,
“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the 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.
you whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called from its corners, and said to you, ‘You are my servant. I have chosen you and have not cast you 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.
Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Kitaenyo, amin a gumurgura kadakayo ket maipababa ken maibabainto; dagiti sumupsuppiat kadakayo ket kasdanto la awan ken mapukawdanto.
Behold, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
12 Sapulemto ket saanmo a masapulan dagiti nakisuppiat kenka; dagiti nakigubgubat kenka ket agbalinto a kasla awan, awan kapaypay-anda.
You will seek them, and won’t find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a nonexistent thing.
13 Ta siak, ni Yahweh a Diosmo ti mangkibin iti makannawan nga imam, ibagak kenka, 'Saanka nga agbuteng; tulonganka.'
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’
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.
Don’t be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you,” says the LORD. “Your 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 have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like chaff.
16 Itaepmonto ida, ket itayabto ida ti angin; warawaraento ida ti angin. Agrag-okanto kenni Yahweh, agraokanto iti Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel.
You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in the LORD. You will 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.
The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, the LORD, will answer 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 on the bare heights, and springs in the middle 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 put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set cypress trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
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, know, consider, and understand together, that the LORD’s hand has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.
21 Ibagayo ti darumyo,” kuna ni Yahweh; 'iparangyo ti kasayaatan a pammaneknekyo nga agpaay kadagiti didiosenyo,” kuna ti Ari ni Jacob.
Produce your cause,” says the LORD. “Bring out your strong reasons!” says 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 announce and declare to us what will happen! Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things to come.
23 Ibagayo dagiti banbanag maipapan iti masakbayan tapno maammoanmi no dioskayo; agaramidkayo iti naimbag wenno dakes tapno agbuteng ken masdaawkami.
Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
24 Kitaenyo, awan serserbi dagiti didiosenyo ken dagiti aramidyo; ti mangpili kadakayo ket makarimon.
Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.
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 has come, from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name, and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads 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 has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and before, that we may say, ‘He is right’? Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
27 Immuna a kinunak iti Sion, “Kitaenyo, adtoydan;” Nangibaonak iti maysa a mangipadamag iti Jerusalem.
I am the first to say to Zion, ‘Behold, look at them;’ and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
28 Idi kimmitaak, awan a pulos, awan ti uray maysa kadakuada a makaited iti nasayaat a pammagbaga, ti makasungbat iti saludsodko.
When I look, there is no man, even amongst them there is no counsellor who, when I ask, can answer a word.
29 Kitaenyo, awan serserbida amin ken dagiti ar-aramidda ket awan serserbina; dagiti sinukogda nga imahe ket angin ken kinaubbaw.
Behold, all of their deeds are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
