Isaias 44
1 Ita dumngegka, Jacob nga adipenko, ken Israel, a pinilik:
And now hear, O Jacob, my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
2 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a nangaramid kenka ken nangbukel kenka iti aanakan ken ti mangtulongto kenka: “Saanka nga agdanag, Jacob nga adipenko; ken sika, Jeshurun, a pinilik.
Thus saith the Lord that made and formed thee, thy helper from the womb: Fear not, O my servant Jacob, and thou most righteous whom I have chosen.
3 Ta ibukbukkonto ti danum iti rabaw ti mawaw a daga, ken pagayusekto dagiti waig iti natikag a daga; Ibukbukkonto ti Espirituk kadagiti kaputotam, ken ti bendisionko kadagiti annakmo.
For I will pour out waters upon the thirsty ground, and streams upon the dry land: I will pour out my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy stock.
4 Agrusingdanto iti karuotan, a kas kadagiti lidda nga adda kadagiti igid ti waig.
And they shall spring up among the herbs, as willows beside the running waters.
5 Addanto mangibaga, 'Kukuanak ni Yahweh;' ken ti sabali ket mapanagananto iti nagan ni Jacob; ken suratanto ti sabali ti imana iti 'Maibilang kenni Yahweh' ket maawagan iti nagan ti Israel.”
One shall say: I am the Lord’s, and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob, and another shall subscribe with his hand, To the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel.
6 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh—ti Ari ti Israel ken ti Mannubbotna, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin: “Siak ti immuna, ken ti maudi; ket awanen iti sabali pay a Dios no di Siak laeng.
Thus saith the Lord the king of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts: I am the brat, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.
7 Siasino ti kas kaniak? Ibagana ngarud daytoy ken ipalawagna kaniak dagiti napaspasamak manipud pay idi pinarsuak dagiti immuna a tattaok, ken ibagada koma ngarud dagiti mapasamak iti masakbayan.
Who is like to me? let him call and declare: and let him set before me the order, since I appointed the ancient people: and the things to come, and that shall be hereafter, let them shew unto them.
8 Saanka nga agdanag wenno agbuteng. Saan kadi nga imbagakon kenka idi, ken impakaammokon daytoy? Sika ti saksik: Adda kadi pay Dios malaksid kaniak? Awanen ti sabali pay a Bato; awan ti ammok a sabali pay.”
Fear ye not, neither be ye troubled, from that time I have made thee to hear, and have declared: you are my witnesses. Is there a God besides me, a maker, whom I have not known?
9 Amin nga agar-aramid kadagiti didiosen ket awan serserbina; dagiti banbanag a pagragragsakanda ket awan serserbina; saan a makakita dagiti saksida ken awan ti maammoanda, ken maibabaindanto.
The makers of idols are all of them nothing, and their best beloved things shall not profit them. They are their witnesses, that they do not see, nor understand, that they may be ashamed.
10 Siasino ti makaaramid iti maysa a didiosen wenno mangsukog iti didiosen nga awan serserbina?
Who hath formed a god, and made a graven thing that is profitable for nothing?
11 Kitaem, dagiti amin a katulonganna ket maibabainto; dagiti agkitkitikit ket tattao laeng. Umayda koma a sangsangkamaysa; agbuteng ken maibabaindanto.
Behold, all the partakers thereof shall be confounded: for the makers are men: they shall all assemble together, they shall stand and fear, and shall be confounded together.
12 Agtrabtrabaho ti mammanday babaen kadagiti rimientana, suksukogenna daytoy, aramidenna daytoy kadagiti beggang. Suksukogenna daytoy babaen iti martiliona ken ar-aramidenna daytoy babaen iti napigsa a takiagna. Mabisin ken mabannog isuna; saan nga uminom iti danum ket matalimudaw.
The smith hath wrought with his file, with coals, and with hammers he hath formed it, and hath wrought with the strength of his arm: he shall hunger and faint, he shall drink no water, and shall be weary.
13 Rukoden ti karpentero ti kayo babaen iti maysa a linia, sana markaan daytoy babaen iti maysa a tisa. Kitikitanna daytoy babaen kadagiti rimientana sana markaan daytoy babaen iti kompas. Kitikitanna daytoy a maiyasping iti imahe ti maysa a tao, a kasla makaay-ayo a tao, tapno maikabil daytoy iti maysa a disso a pagdaydayawan.
The carpenter hath stretched out his rule, he hath formed it with a plane: he hath made it with corners, and hath fashioned it round with the compass: and he hath made the image of a man as it were a beautiful man dwelling in a house.
14 Mangpukan isuna kadagiti kayo a sedro, wenno mangpili isuna iti maysa a kayo ti lugo wenno maysa a parwa a kayo. Mangal-ala isuna iti kayo idiay kabakiran. Agmulmula isuna iti maysa a kayo a laurel ket ti tudo ti mangpatubo iti daytoy.
He hath cut down cedars, taken the holm, and the oak that stood among the trees of the forest: he hath planted the pine tree, which the rain hath nourished.
15 Kalpasanna, aramaten daytoy ti maysa a tao a pagsungrod ken paginudoanna. Wen, mangpasged isuna iti apuy sana pagilutoan iti tinapay. Kalpasanna, mangaramid isuna manipud iti daytoy iti maysa a didiosen sa agrukbab iti daytoy; mangaramid isuna iti maysa a didiosen sa agrukbab daytoy.
And it hath served men for fuel: he took thereof, and warmed himself: and he kindled it, and baked bread: but of the rest he made a god, and adored it: he made a graven thing, and bowed down before it.
16 Isungrodna ti sabali a paset ti kayo, itunona iti daytoy ti karnena. Mangan isuna ket mapnek. Aginudo ket kunaenna, “A, nabaraanak, nakitak ti apuy.”
Part of it he burnt with fire, and with part of it he dressed his meat: he boiled pottage, and was filled, and was warmed, and said: Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire.
17 Iti nabatbati a paset ti kayo agaramid isuna iti didiosen, ti nakitikitan nga imahena; agrukbab isuna iti daytoy sana raemen, ken pagkararaganna daytoy a kunana, “Isalakannak, ta sika ti diosko.”
But the residue thereof he made a god, and a graven thing for himself: he boweth down before it, and adoreth it, and prayeth unto it, saying: Deliver me, for thou art my God.
18 Saanda nga ammo, wenno maawatan, gapu ta bulsekda ken saanda a makakita, ken saan a makarikna dagiti pusoda.
They have not known, nor understood: for their eyes are covered that they may not see, and that they may not understand with their heart.
19 Awan ti mangpanpanunot, wenno mangam-amiris a kunaenna, “Pinuorak dagiti dadduma a paset ti kayo; wen, nagilutoak pay iti tinapay kadagiti beggangna. Nagitunoak iti karne kadagiti beggangna ket nanganak. Ita, rumbeng kadi nga aramidek dagiti dadduma a paset ti kayo iti maysa a banag a saan nga umno a pagdayawan? Rumbeng kadi nga agrukbabak iti maysa a kayo?”
They do not consider in their mind, nor know, nor have the thought to say: I have burnt part of it in the fire, and I have baked bread upon the coals thereof: I have broiled flesh and have eaten, and of the residue thereof shall I make an idol? shall I fall down before the stock of a tree?
20 Arigna a mangmangan isuna iti dapo; iyaw-awan isuna ti naallilaw a pusona. Saanna a maisalakan ti baginna, wenno maibagana la koma, “Daytoy a banag nga adda iti makannawan nga imak ket palso a dios.”
Part thereof is ashes: his foolish heart adoreth it, and he will not save his soul, nor say: Perhaps there is a lie in my right hand.
21 Panunotenyo dagitoy a banbanag, Jacob ken Israel, gapu ta dakayo ket adipenko: Inaramidkayo; dakayo ket adipenko: Israel, saanka a malipatan.
Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for thou art my servant. I have formed thee, thou art my servant, O Israel, forget me not.
22 Inikkatko, a kasla maysa a napuskol nga ulep dagiti panagrebrebeldeyo, ken kasla maysa nga ulep, dagiti basbasolyo; agsublikayo kaniak, gapu ta sinubotkayo.
I have blotted out thy iniquities as a cloud, and thy sins as a mist: return to me, for I have redeemed thee.
23 Agkantakayo, dakayo a langlangit, gapu ta nagtignay ni Yahweh; agpukkawka, sika nga uneg ti daga; Ipigsayo ti agkanta, dakayo a banbantay, ken dakayo a kabakiran agraman ti tunggal kayo; gapu ta sinubbot ni Yahweh ni Jacob, ken ipakitananto ti dayagna idiay Israel.
Give praise, O ye heavens, for the Lord hath shewn mercy: shout with joy, ye ends of the earth: ye mountains, resound with praise, thou, O forest, and every tree therein: for the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
24 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbotyo, a nangbukel kadakayo manipud iti aanakan: “Siak ni Yahweh, a nangaramid iti amin a banag, ti maymaysa a nangiyukrad iti langit, ti maymaysa a nangaramid iti daga.
Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, and thy maker, from the womb: I am the Lord, that make all things, that alone stretch out the heavens, that establish the earth, and there is none with me.
25 Siak a mangdadael kadagiti pagilaslasinan dagiti ulbod ken mangibabain kadagiti mammuyon; Siak a mangpakpakuneng iti masirib ken mangar-aramid a minamaag dagiti balakadda.
That make void the tokens of diviners, and make the soothsayers mad. That turn the wise backward, and that, make their knowledge foolish.
26 Siak, a ni Yahweh! —a mangtungtungpal kadagiti imbaga ti adipenna ken mangipatpatungpal kadagiti balakad dagiti mensaherona, a mangibagbaga iti Jerusalem, 'Isunanto ti pagnaedanda;' ken kadagiti siudad ti Juda, 'Maipasdekdanto manen, ken tarimaanekto dagiti nadadael a dissona'—
That raise up the word of my servant and perform the counsel of my messengers, who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be inhabited: and to the cities of Juda: You shall be built, and I will raise up the wastes thereof.
27 a mangibagbaga iti uneg ti baybay, 'Mamagaanka, ken pagmagaekto dagiti dalluyonmo'—
Who say to the deep: Be thou desolate, and I will dry up thy rivers.
28 A mangibagbaga maipanggep kenni Ciro, 'Isuna ti pastorko, aramidennanto dagiti amin a dawatek'—mangipaulogto iti ibiln a maipanggep iti Jerusalem, 'Maibangon manen daytoy,' ken maipanggep iti templo, 'Maipasdek manen dagiti pundasionna.'”
Who say to Cyrus: Thou art my shepherd, and thou shalt perform all my pleasure. Who say to Jerusalem: Thou shalt be built: and to the temple: Thy foundations shall be laid.
