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 to me, ye distant lands! Attend, ye nations from afar! Jehovah called me at my birth; In my very childhood he called me by 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.
He made my mouth like a sharp sword; In the shadow of his hand did he hide me. He made me a polished shaft; In his quiver did he hide me.
3 Kinunana kaniak, “Sika ti adipenko, Israel, a pangipakitaak iti dayagko.”
He said to me, Thou art 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.
Then I said, I have labored in vain; For naught, for vanity, have I spent my strength; Yet my cause is with Jehovah, 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.
And now thus saith Jehovah, Who formed me from my birth to be his servant To bring Jacob to him again, And that Israel might be gathered to him, —For I am honored in the eyes of Jehovah, And my God is 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.”
He said, It is a small tiling that thou shouldst be my servant, To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And to restore the preserved of Israel; I will also make thee the light of the nations, That my salvation may reach the ends 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 saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, To him that is despised by men, abhorred by the people, To the servant of tyrants; Kings shall see, and stand up, Princes, and they shall pay homage, On account of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee.
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 saith Jehovah; In the time of favor will I hear thee; In the day of deliverance will I help thee; I will preserve thee, and make thee a mediator for the people, To restore the land, to distribute the desolated inheritances;
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.
To say to the prisoners, Go forth! To them that are in darkness, Come to the light! They shall feed in the ways, And on all high places 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, neither shall they thirst; Neither shall the heat nor the sun smite them; For he that hath compassion on them shall lead them; To springs of water shall he guide them.
11 Ket pagbalinekto a kalsada dagiti amin a bantayko, ken pagbalinekto a patad dagiti kalsadak.”
And I will make all my mountains a highway; And my roads shall be prepared.
12 Kitaem, aggapunto dagitoy iti adayo, adda naggapu iti amianan ken iti laud; ken naggapu dagiti dadduma iti daga ti Sinim.
Behold! these shall come from far; And behold! these from the North and from the West, And these from the land of Sinim.
13 Agkantakayo, O langlangit, ken agrag-oka, O daga, agkantakayo, dakayo a banbantay! Ta liwliwaen ni Yahweh dagiti tattaona, ket kaasiannanto dagiti agsagsagaba.
Sing, O ye heavens, and rejoice, O earth! Break forth into singing, ye mountains! For Jehovah comforteth his people, And hath compassion on his afflicted ones.
14 Ngem kinuna ti Sion, “Binaybay-annak ni Yahweh, ken linipatnak ti Apo.”
Zion saith, “Jehovah hath forsaken me; The Lord hath 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 sucking child, So as not to have compassion on the son of her womb? Yet, should they forget, I will never forget thee!
16 Kitaem, inkitikitko ti naganyo kadagiti dakulapko; adda a kanayon iti sangoanak dagiti padermo.
Behold, I have graven thee on the palms of my hands; Thy walls are ever before my eyes.
17 Agdardaras nga agsubli dagiti annakmo, kabayatan nga umad-adayo dagiti nangdadael kenka.
Thy children shall make haste; They that destroyed and laid thee waste shall depart from thee.
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 thine eyes around, and see! They all assemble themselves, and come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, Thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with a rich dress; Thou shalt bind them on thee, as a bride her jewels.
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 thy waste and desolate places, and thy land laid in ruins, Shall now be too narrow for the inhabitants; And they that devoured thee 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.'
Thou, that hast been childless, shalt yet hear thy sons exclaim: “The place is too narrow for me; make room for 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?'”
And thou shalt say in thy heart, Who hath begotten me these? I surely was childless and unfruitful, An exile, and an outcast; who then hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, then, 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will lift up my hand to the nations, And set up my standard to the kingdoms; They shall bring thy sons in their arms, And thy daughters upon 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.”
And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, And queens thy nursing mothers; Upon their faces shall they bow down before thee, And lick the dust of thy feet. Thus shalt thou know that I am Jehovah; And they who trust in me shall not be put to shame.
24 Maala kadi dagiti nasamsam manipud kadagiti mannakigubat, wenno maispal kadi dagiti balud manipud iti nauyong nga agturay?
Shall the prey be taken away from the mighty? Or shall the spoil of the terrible be rescued?
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.
Yea, thus saith Jehovah, The prey shall be taken away from the mighty, And the spoil of the terrible shall be rescued; For with him that contendeth with thee will I contend, And I will save thy 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.”
And I will cause thine oppressors to eat their own flesh; With their own blood shall they be drunk, as with new wine; And all flesh shall know that I Jehovah am thy saviour; That thy redeemer is the Mighty One of Jacob.
