< Isaias 49 >
1 Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo nga isla! Ket ipangagyo, dakayo a tattao nga adda iti adayo. Inawagannak ni Yahweh sipud pannakaiyanakko babaen iti naganko, idi impasngaynak ti inak ditoy lubong.
Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of my name:
2 Inaramidna a kasla natadem a kampilan ti ngiwatko; inlemmengnak iti anniniwan ti imana; inaramidnak a maysa a napasileng a pana; inlemmengnak iti tagubanna.
and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
3 Kinunana kaniak, “Sika ti adipenko, Israel, a pangipakitaak iti dayagko.”
and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
4 Uray no impagarupko nga awan serbi ti inaramidko, a nagbannogak iti awan kaes-eskanna, Uray no kasta, ti hustisiak ket adda kenni Yahweh, ken ti gunggonak ket adda iti Diosko.
But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God."
5 Ket ita nagsaon ni Yahweh, isuna a nangsukog kaniak sipud pannakaiyanakko nga agbalin nga adipenna, tapno maisubli manen kenkuana ni Jacob, ken tapno maisubli ti Israel kenkuana. Napadayawanak iti imatang ni Yahweh, ket ti Diosko ti nagbalin a pigsak.
Now says the LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength.
6 Kunana a, “Bassit unay a banag para kenka ti agbalin nga adipenko a mangipasdek manen kadagiti tribu ni Jacob, ken mangisubli kadagiti nakalasat iti Israel. Pagbalinenkanto a silaw kadagiti Hentil, tapno agbalinka a mangisalakanko agingga kadagiti pungto ti daga.”
And he says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth."
7 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, a Mannubbot ti Israel, a Nasantoan, iti daydiay naumsi ti biagna a kinagura dagiti nasion, ken adipen dagiti agtuturay, “Makitadakanto dagiti ari ket tumakderda, ken makitadakanto dagiti prinsipe ket agtameddanto gapu kenni Yahweh a napudno, ken Nasantoan ti Israel, a nangpili kenka.”
Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
8 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Inton dumteng ti kanito nga ingkeddengko a pangipakitaak iti kinasayaatko kenka, sungbatankayto, ken iti aldaw ti pannakaisalakan, tulongankanto; salaknibankanto, ken itedkanto a kas tulag kadagiti tattao, a mangbangon manen iti daga, tapno ited manen ti langalang a tawid.
Thus says the LORD, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
9 Ibagamto kadagiti balud, 'Rummuarkayo;' kadagiti adda iti nasipnget a pagbaludan, 'Agparangkayo.' Agarabdanto iti igid dagiti dalan, ken kadagiti amin a tapaw ti langalang a turod ti pakaipasturandanto.
saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
10 Saandanto a mabisin wenno mawaw; wenno mapudotan iti init, ta idalanto ida ti mangngaasi kadakuada; iturongnanto ida kadagiti ubbog ti danum.
They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
11 Ket pagbalinekto a kalsada dagiti amin a bantayko, ken pagbalinekto a patad dagiti kalsadak.”
I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
12 Kitaem, aggapunto dagitoy iti adayo, adda naggapu iti amianan ken iti laud; ken naggapu dagiti dadduma iti daga ti Sinim.
Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
13 Agkantakayo, O langlangit, ken agrag-oka, O daga, agkantakayo, dakayo a banbantay! Ta liwliwaen ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona, ket kaasiannanto dagiti agsagsagaba.
Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14 Ngem kinuna ti Sion, “Binaybay-annak ni Yahweh, ken linipatnak ti Apo.”
But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."
15 “Malipatan kadi ti babai ti maladagana, a paspasusoenna iti barukongna, isu a saanna a kaasian ti impasngayna nga anakna? Wen, mabalin a malipatanda, ngem saankayonto a malipatan.
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16 Kitaem, inkitikitko ti naganyo kadagiti dakulapko; adda a kanayon iti sangoanak dagiti padermo.
Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
17 Agdardaras nga agsubli dagiti annakmo, kabayatan nga umad-adayo dagiti nangdadael kenka.
Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.
18 Kumitaka iti aglawlawmo ket makitam, aguummongda amin nga um-umay kenka. Iti isapatak—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—nga usaremto dagitoy a kasla alahas; isuotmonto dagitoy, a kas iti maysa a nobia.
Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says the LORD, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
19 Uray no naglangalang ken nabaybay-anka, maysa a nadadael a daga, ita agbalinka a bassit unay para kadagiti agnanaed, ket maidayonto dagiti nangdadael kenka.
"For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
20 Kunaento kenka dagiti ubbing a maiyanak iti tiempo ti pannakaulilak 'Nailet unay daytoy a lugar para kadakami, iyaramidannakami iti siled tapno makapagnaedkami ditoy.'
The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
21 Ket damagemto iti bagim, “Siasino ti nangipasngay kadagitoy nga ubbing para kaniak? Naulilaak iti annak ken saanakon a makaanak, naipanaw kas balud ken naisina. Siasino ti nangpadakkel kadagitoy nga ubbing? Kitaem, nabatiak nga agmaymaysa; sadino ti naggapuan dagitoy?'”
Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
22 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apo, “Kitaem, Ingatokto ti imak kadagiti nasion; ingatokto ti banderak a pagilasinan dagiti tattao. Ubbaendanto nga iyeg dagiti annakmo a lallaki ken sallabayendanto dagiti annakmo a babbai.
Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
23 Dagitinto ari ti pannakaamam, ken dagitinto reynada ti mangaywan kenka; agkurnodanto kenka a nakadekket ti rupada iti daga ket dilpatandanto ti tapok kadagiti sakam; ket maammoamto a siak ni Yahweh; dagiti a makauray kaniak ket saanto a maibabain.”
Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
24 Maala kadi dagiti nasamsam manipud kadagiti mannakigubat, wenno maispal kadi dagiti balud manipud iti nauyong nga agturay?
Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
25 Ngem kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Wen, maitalawto dagiti balud manipud kadagiti mannakigubat ken maisublinto dagiti sinamsam gapu ta karangetkonto ti kabusormo ken isalakanko dagiti annakmo.
But thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
26 Ket ipakankonto kadagiti mangparparigat kenka ti bukodda a lasag; ken mabartekdanto iti bukodda a dara, a kasla la daytoy ket arak; ket maammoanto ti amin a sangkataoan a siak, a ni Yahweh, ti Mangisalakanmo ken ti Mannubbotmo, ti Mannakabalin a Dios ni Jacob.”
I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
