< Isaias 42 >

1 Adtoy, ti adipenko, ti pabpabilegek; ti pinilik, isuna a pakaragsakak. Inkabilko ti Espirituk kenkuana; iyegnanto ti kinalinteg kadagiti nasion.
Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one, in him I take delight. I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring justice to the nations.
2 Saanto isuna nga agikkis wenno agpukkaw, wenno ipangngeg ti timekna kadagiti kalkalsada.
He will not cry out nor shout, nor make his voice heard in the streets.
3 Saanna a tukkolen ti naparpar a runo, ken ti nakudrep a pabilo ket saannanto nga iddepen; sipupudnonto nga ipatungpalna ti kinalinteg.
A crushed reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench: he will faithfully execute justice.
4 Saanto isuna a kumapsut wenno maupay agingga a naipasdeknan ti kinalinteg iti rabaw ti daga; ket aguray iti lintegna dagiti daga iti igid ti baybay.
He will not grow faint nor be discouraged until he has established justice on the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
5 Daytoy ti ibagbaga ti Dios a ni Yahweh, isuna a namarsua kadagiti langit ken nangukrad kadagitoy; isuna a nangukrad iti lubong ken mangmangted iti biag iti daytoy; isuna a mangmangted iti anges kadagiti tattao iti daytoy, ken biag kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy;
This is what God Yahweh says— the one who created the heavens and stretched them out, the one who made the earth and all that it produces, the one who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who live on it:
6 “Siak a ni Yahweh, inayabanka iti kinalinteg ket kibinenkanto. Aywanankanto ken isaadkanto a kas katulagan kadagiti tattao, a kas lawag kadagiti Hentil,
“I, Yahweh, have called you in righteousness and will hold your hand. I will keep you and set you as a covenant for the people, as a light for the Gentiles,
7 tapno luktam dagiti mata dagiti bulag, tapno wayawayaam dagiti balud manipud iti nasipnget a pagbaludan, ken dagiti agtugtugaw iti nasipnget iti balay a pagbaludan.
to open the eyes of the blind, to release the prisoners from the dungeon, and from the house of confinement those who sit in darkness.
8 Siak ni Yahweh, dayta ti naganko; ket saanko nga ibingay ti dayagko iti dadduma wenno ti dayawko kadagiti kinitikitan a didiosen.
I am Yahweh, that is my name; and my glory I will not share with another nor my praise with carved idols.
9 Kitaenyo, napasamaken dagiti immuna a banbanag, ita, ipakaammokon dagiti baro a mapasamak. Sakbay a mangrugi a mapasamak dagitoy, ibagakon kadakayo ti maipapan kadagitoy.”
See, the previous things came to pass, now I am about to declare new events. Before they begin to occur I will tell you about them.”
10 Kantaanyo ni Yahweh iti baro a kanta, ken pagdayawna kenkuana manipud iti pungto ti daga; dakayo a sumalsalog iti baybay, ken amin nga adda iti daytoy, dagiti daga iti igid ti baybay ken dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy.
Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, the coastlands, and those who live there.
11 Agikkis koma ti disierto ken dagiti siudad, agpukkaw koma gapu iti rag-o dagiti rehion iti Kedar! Agkanta koma dagiti agnanaed iti Sela; agpukkawda koma manipud kadagiti tapaw ti bantay.
Let the desert and the cities cry out, the villages where Kedar lives, shout for joy! Let the inhabitants of Sela sing; let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 Idaydayawda koma ni Yahweh ken ipakaammoda ti dayawna kadagiti daga iti igid ti baybay.
Let them give glory to Yahweh and declare his praise in the coastlands.
13 Rummuarto ni Yahweh a kas maysa a mannakigubat; mapanto isuna a kas maysa a mannakigubat. Ipakitananto ti pungtotna. Agpukkawto isuna, wen, agpukkawto isuna iti pukkaw ti gubat; ipakitananto kadagiti kabusorna ti pannakabalinna.
Yahweh will go out as a warrior; as a man of war he will stir up his zeal. He will shout, yes, he will roar his battle cries; he will show his enemies his power.
14 Nabayag a panawen a nagulimekak; nagtatalnaak ken ginawidak ti bagik; ita, agikkisak a kas iti babai nga agpaspasikal; agangsabak ken agal-alak.
I have kept quiet for a long time; I have been still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor; I will gasp and pant.
15 Rebbaekto dagiti banbantay ken dagiti turturod ket pagangoekto dagiti mulmulada; pagbalinekto nga isla dagiti karayan ken pagmagaekto dagiti dan-aw.
I will lay waste mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; and I will turn the rivers into islands and will dry up the marshes.
16 Iyegkonto dagiti bulsek babaen iti dalan a saanda nga ammo; idalankonto ida kadagiti dalan a saanda nga ammo. Pagbalinekto a lawag ti kinasipnget iti sangoananda, ken pagbalinekto a nalinteg dagiti nakillo a disso. Dagitoy dagiti banbanag nga aramidekto ket saankonto ida a panawan.
I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know; in paths that they do not know I will lead them. I will turn the darkness into light before them, and make the crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not abandon them.
17 Mailaksiddanto, maibabaindanto a naan-anay, isuda nga agtaltalek kadagiti kinitikitan nga imahe, a mangibagbaga kadagiti nakitikatan nga imahe, “Dakayo dagiti diosmi.”
They will be turned back, they will be completely put to shame, those who trust in carved figures, who say to cast metal figures, “You are our gods.”
18 Denggenyo, dakayo a tuleng; ken kitaenyo dakayo a bulag tapno makitayo.
Listen, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 Siasino ti bulag, no saan a ti adipenko? Wenno tuleng a kas iti mensahero nga imbaonko? Adda kadi bulag a kas iti nakitulagak, wenno bulag a kas iti adipen ni Yahweh?
Who is blind but my servant? Or deaf like my messenger I send? Who is as blind as my covenant partner, or blind as Yahweh's servant?
20 Adu dagiti banbanag a makitkitayo ngem saanyo a maawatan; nakalukat dagiti lapayag ngem awan ti dumdumngeg.
You see many things, but do not comprehend; ears are open, but no one hears.
21 Makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh a dayawen ti kinalintegna ken itan-ok ti lintegna.
It pleased Yahweh to praise his justice and to make his law glorious.
22 Ngem dagitoy a tattao ket natakawan ken nasamsaman; naipalab-ogda amin kadagiti ab-abut, naipupokda kadagiti pagbaludan; nasamsamda nga awan ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada, ken awan ti siasinoman a nagkuna, “Isubliyo ida!”
But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all trapped in pits, held captive in prisons; they have become a plunder with no one to rescue them, and no one says, “Bring them back!”
23 Siasino kadakayo ti mangipangagto iti daytoy? Siasinonto ti mangipangag ken mangdengngeg iti masakbayan?
Who among you will listen to this? Who will listen and hear in the future?
24 Siasino ti nangiyawat kenni Jacob kadagiti mannanakaw, ken ti Israel kadagiti tulisan? Saan aya a ni Yahweh, a nagbasolantayo, nga akin-wagas iti nagkedkedanda nga aramiden, ken akin-linteg iti nagkedkedanda a pagtulnogan?
Who gave Jacob over to the robber, and Israel to the looters? Was it not Yahweh, against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they refused to walk, and whose law they refused to obey?
25 Isu nga imparukpokna ti nakaro a pungtotna maibusor kadakuada, nga addaan iti pannakadadael babaen iti gubat. Simged daytoy iti aglawlawda ngem saanda a naamiris daytoy; inuramna ida ngem saanda a pinagan-ano.
Therefore he poured out on them his fierce anger and the violence of war, Its flames encircled them, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.
