< Isaias 51 >
1 Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a mangitultuloy iti kinalinteg, dakayo a mangbirbirok kenni Yahweh: Kitaenyo ti dakkel a bato a nangtippinganda kadakayo ken ti abut a nangkalianda kadakayo.
Listen to me, those of you who follow what is right, and who worship the Lord. Think about the rock from which you were cut, and to the quarry from which you were chiseled.
2 Kitaenyo ni Abraham nga amayo, ken ni Sara a nangipasngay kadakayo; ta agmaymaysa isuna idi inayabak. Binendisionak ken pinaaduk isuna.
Look back at Abraham your father, and Sarah who gave birth to you. When I called him, he was only one man, but then I blessed him and he had many descendants.
3 Wen, liwliwaento ni Yahweh ti Sion, liwliwaennanto dagiti amin a langalang a lugar iti daytoy; inaramidna a kasla Eden ti let-ang daytoy ken kasla minuyongan ni Yahweh dagiti patad a disiertona iti igid ti tanap ti Karayan Jordan; rag-o ken ragsak ti masarakanto iti daytoy, panagyaman ken timek ti kankanta.
The Lord will care for Zion and feel sorry about all her ruined places. He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert areas like the garden of the Lord. People there will have joy and happiness, giving thanks and singing sweet songs.
4 Ipangagdak koma, tattaok; ken dumngegkayo kaniak, tattaok! Ta mangipaulogakto iti bilin, ket pagbalinekto a silaw ti hustisiak kadagiti nasion.
Pay attention to me, my people; listen to me, my nation: I will send out my law, and my justice will be a light to the nations.
5 Asideg ti kinalintegko; rummuarto ti panangisalakanko, ken ukomento ti takkiagko dagiti nasion; agurayto kaniak dagiti isla; ta sigagagardanto nga aguray iti takkiagko.
My rule of right will arrive soon. My salvation is coming. My power will bring judgment to the nations. The distant lands are waiting for me and my power.
6 Tumangadkayo iti tangatang, ken kitaenyo ti daga ditoy baba, ta agpukawto a kasla asuk dagiti langit, marunotto a kasla lupot ti daga, ken matayto a kasla kadagiti ngilaw dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy. Ngem agtultuloyto ti panangisalakanko iti agnanayon, ken saanto a pulos a sumardeng ti panagtrabaho ti kinalintegko.
Look up at the heavens, and look down at the earth beneath. The heavens will disappear like smoke, the earth will wear out like old clothes. The people living there will die like flies, but my salvation will last forever, and my way of goodness and right will never be destroyed.
7 Dumngegkayo kaniak, dakayo a makaammo iti nalinteg, dakayo a tattao nga adda iti pusona ti lintegko: Saanyo a pagbutngan ti panangumsi dagiti tattao, wenno maupay ti pusoyo gapu kadagiti panangirurumenda.
Listen to me, you who know what's right, and who have really accepted my teachings. Don't be afraid of people's insults—they're just human—or be terrified by their abusive language.
8 Ta maiyarigdanto iti lupot a kanen ti buot; ken maiyarigdanto iti lalat a kanen ti igges; ngem iti amin a henerasion, agnanayonto ti kinalintegko ken ti panangisalakanko.
Moths will eat them up like clothing; bugs will chew through them like wool. But my goodness will last forever, my salvation will endure for all generations.
9 Agriingka, agriingka, takkiag ni Yahweh, ikawesmo ti kinabileg. Agriingka a kas idi un-unana nga al-aldaw, dagiti nagkauna a henerasion. Saan kadi a sika ti nangrumek iti narungsot nga ayup ti baybay, sika a nangduyok iti dragon?
Please wake up, wake up! Use your strength, powerful Lord! Act as you used to in olden days, in former generations. Weren't you the one who cut Rahab to pieces, who killed that sea monster?
10 Saan kadi a pinaattianam ti baybay, ti dandanum iti kaadaleman, ket inaramidmo a dalan dagiti kaadaleman ti baybay tapno lumasat dagiti nasubbot?
Weren't you the one who dried up the sea, making a way through the deep waters for the redeemed to cross over?
11 Dagiti sinubbot ni Yahweh ket agsublinto ken umay iti Sion nga agsasangit a sirarag-o ken addaan iti agnanayon a ragsak kadagiti uloda; ringbawanto ida ti kinaragsak ken rag-o, pumanawto ti liday ken ladingit.
Those the Lord has set free will return, singing as they enter Jerusalem, wearing crowns of everlasting joy. They are overcome with thankfulness and happiness; sorrow and sadness simply disappear.
12 Siak, Siak, ti mangliwliwa kadakayo. Apay a kabutengyo dagiti tattao, a matayto, dagiti annak ti tao, a naaraamid a kas iti ruot?
It's me, yes, I am the one who comforts you. Why should you be afraid of mortals who die just like grass?
13 Apay a linipatyo ni Yahweh a Namarsua kadakayo, a nagiyukrad kadagiti langlangit, ken nangisaad kadagiti pundasion ti daga? Agtultuloy ti inaldaw a panagbutengyo gapu iti kinarungsot ti mangparparigat no kasta nga ikeddengna ti mangdadael. Sadino ti ayan ti kinarungsot ti mangparparigat?
You have forgotten the Lord, your Maker, who stretched out the heavens and who laid the foundations of the earth! That's why you shake with fear all day long, because you're threatened by the anger of those who oppress you, wanting to destroy you. But where are your oppressors and their anger now?
14 Dardarasento ni Yahweh a wayawayaan ti napagkubbo; saanto isuna a matay ken mapan iti abut ken saanto nga agkurang ti tinapayna.
The prisoners that are bowed down will soon be set free. They're not going to die; they won't go on being hungry.
15 Ta siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a mangkibkibur iti baybay, tapno agdaranudor dagiti dalluyonna—ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ti naganna.
For I am the Lord your God who whips up the sea so its waves roar. The Lord Almighty is his name.
16 Inkabilko dagiti sasaok iti ngiwatmo, ket linengdanka iti anniniwan ti imak, tapno maimulak dagiti langlangit, maisaadko dagiti pundasion ti daga ken kunaek iti Sion, “Dakayo dagiti tattaok.”
I have told you what to say, and I have protected you with my hand. I created the heavens and founded the earth, and told Zion, “You are my people.”
17 Agriingka, agriingka, tumakderka, Jerusalem, sika nga imminum iti malukong ti pungtot ni Yahweh manipud iti imana; ininummo ti malukong, ti malukong ti makapadiwerdiwer, ket inibusmo daytoy.
Wake up, wake up! Get up, Jerusalem! You have drunk from the cup of the Lord's anger he handed to you. You have drained it down to the bottom of the cup, the drink that makes people stagger around.
18 Awan ti uray maysa kadagiti amin nga annakna nga impasngayna ti mangtarabay kenkuana; awan ti uray maysa kadagiti amin nga annak a pinadakkelna ti mangkibin kenkuana.
Of all your children you had, there's not one left to guide you. Of all the children you raised, there's not one to take you by the hand.
19 Napasamak kenka dagitoy a dua a riribuk—siasinonto ti makipagladingit kenka? —panagbalin a langalang ken pannakadadael, nakaro a panagbisin ken ti kampilan. Siasinonto ti mangliwliwa kenka.
Two tragedies have struck you: devastation caused by famine, and destruction caused by war. Who is going to sympathize with you? Who is going to comfort you?
20 Natalimudaw dagiti annakmo; napasagda iti tunggal suli ti dalan a kasla ugsa a nasiloan; napnoanda iti pungtot ni Yahweh, iti panangtubngar ti Diosmo.
Your children have collapsed, lying in every street like antelopes caught in a trap. They experienced the full anger of the Lord, the condemnation of your God.
21 Ngem ita denggem daytoy, sika a naparigat ken nabartek, ngem saan a nabartek iti arak.
So please listen to this, you poor people, sitting there in a drunken state, but not from drinking wine.
22 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga Apom, a Diosmo, a mangikankanawa kadakagiti tattaona, “Kitaem, innalakon ti kopa a makapadiwerdiwer manipud iti imam—ti kopa ti pungtotko—tapno saanmonto manen nga inumen daytoy.
This is what your Lord God says, your God, who defends his people's cause: Look! I have taken away from you the cup that made you stagger around. You will never again have to drink from that cup, the cup of my anger.
23 Ikabilkonto kadagiti ima dagiti mangparigat kenka, dagiti nangibaga kenka, 'Agiddaka, tapno makapagnakami ti rabawmo'; pinagbalinmo a kasla daga ken kalsada a pagnaanda ti bukotmo.”
Instead I will give that cup to the people who tormented you, to those who said to you, “Lie face down so we can walk all over you.” You had to make your backs like the ground, like a street to be walked on.
