Isaias 48
1 Denggenyo daytoy, balay ni Jacob, a naawagan iti nagan nga Israel, ken nagtaud iti kaputotan ti Juda; dakayo nga agsapsapata iti nagan ni Yahweh ken umaw-awag iti Dios ti Israel, ngem saan nga iti kinapudno wenno iti nalinteg a wagas.
“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by the LORD’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
2 Ta awaganda dagiti bagida a tattao iti nasantoan a siudad ken agtaltalek iti Dios ti Israel; Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; the LORD of Armies is his name.
3 “Naipakaammokon dagiti banbanag manipud idi; nagtaud dagitoy iti ngiwatko, ken naipakaammok dagitoy; kalpasanna, inaramidko a dagus dagitoy, ket napasamak dagitoy.
I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
4 Gapu ta ammok a natangken ti uloyo, kas katangken ti landok ti piskel ti tengngedyo ken kasla bronse ti mugingyo,
Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
5 isu nga impakaammokon dagitoy a banbanag kadakayo idi; sakbay a napasamak dagitoy, impakaammokon kadakayo tapno saanyo nga ibaga nga, 'Ti didiosek iti nangaramid kadagitoy,' wenno 'ti imahen a kayo wenno ti imahen a landok ti nangaramid kadagitoy a banbanag.'
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
6 Nangngegyo ti maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag, kitaenyo amin daytoy a pammaneknek; ket dakayo, saanyo kadi nga aklunen a pudno dagitoy nga imbagak? Manipud ita, mangipakitaak kadakayo iti baro a banbanag a nailemmeng a saanyo pay a naammoan.
You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, will not you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
7 Rimsuada ita a saan ket nga idi, ken saanyo pay a nangngeg ti maipapan kadagitoy sakbay daytoy nga aldaw, isu a saanyo a maibaga, 'Wen, ammok ti maipapan kadagitoy.'
They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you did not hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
8 Saanyo a pulos a nangngeg; saanyo nga ammo; saan idi a nailawlawag dagitoy a bambanag kadagiti lapayagyo. Ta ammok a manangallilawkayo unay, ken nasukirkayon sipud pay pannakaiyanakyo.
Yes, you did not hear. Yes, you did not know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
9 Para iti naganko, lapdakto ti ungetko, ken gapu iti dayawko ket saanko nga ituloy ti panangdadaelko kadakayo.
For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I do not cut you off.
10 Kitaenyo, ginugorankayo, ngem saan a kas iti pirak; pinasin-awkayo iti hurno ti panagsagaba.
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
11 Para iti bukodko a pagimbagan, gapu iti bukodko a pagimbagan nga agtignayakto; ta kasano nga ipalubosko a maibabain ti naganko? Saankonto nga ited ti dayagko iti sabali.
For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
12 Dumngegkayo kaniak, Jacob ken Israel nga inayabak: Siak isuna; siak ti umuna ken siak met laeng ti maudi.
“Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
13 Wen, ti imak ti nangisaad iti pundasion ti daga, ken ti makannawan nga imak ti nangiyaplag kadagiti langit; no awagak ida, sangsangkamaysada a tumakder.
Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
14 Aguummongkayo, dakayo amin, ket dumngegkayo; Siasino kadakayo ti nangiwaragawag kadagitoy a babanag? Aramidento ti katulongan ni Yahweh ti gandatna iti Babilonia. Aramidennanto ti pagayatan ni Yahweh maibusor kadagiti Caldeo.
“Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 Siak, nasaokon, wen, pinaayabakon isuna, inyegkon isuna, ket agballiginto.
I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Umasidegkayo kaniak, dumngegkayo iti daytoy; manipud idi punganay saanak a nagsao iti nalimed; no mapasamak daytoy, addaak sadiay; ket ita imbaonnak ni Apo a Yahweh, ken ti Espirituna.”
“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord GOD has sent me with his Spirit.
17 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbotyo, a Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel, “Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a mangisursuro kadakayo no kasano ti agballigi, a mangidaldalan kadakayo iti rumbeng a dalan a papananyo.
The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 No tinungpalyo laeng koma dagiti bilbilinko! Ket nagayus koma a kasla karayan ti kapia ken panagrang-ayyo, ken ti pannakaisalakanyo ket kasla kadagiti dalluyon ti baybay.
Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Nagbalin koma a kas kaadu ti darat dagiti kaputotanyo, ken dagiti annak kadagiti aanakanyo ket kas kaadu dagiti binukel ti darat; saan koma a napukaw ti naganda iti sangoanak.
Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
20 Rummuarkayo iti Babilonia! Panawanyo dagiti Caldeo! Ipukkawyo nga iwaragawag daytoy! Ipakaammoyo daytoy, padanunenyo daytoy agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga! Ibagayo, 'Inispal ni Yahweh ni Jacob nga adipenna.'
Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
21 Saanda a nawaw idi inturongna ida kadagiti disierto; pinagayusna ti danum manipud iti bato para kadakuada; binittakna ti bato ket pimsuak ti danum.
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
22 Awan iti talna para kadagiti nadangkes—kuna ni Yahweh.”
“There is no peace”, says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
