Isaias 65
1 “Nakasaganaak koma a mabirukand dagiti saan a nangkiddaw; nakasaganaak koma a masapulan dagiti saan a nagbiruk. Kinunak, 'Adtoyak! Adtoyak!' iti nasion a saan nga immawag iti naganko.
[This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
2 Agmalmalem a nakaukrad dagiti imak kadagiti natangken ti ulona a tattao, nga agbibiag iti wagas a saan a nasayaat, a nagbiag segun kadagiti bukodda a kapanunotan ken panggep!
[It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
3 Tattaoda a kanayon a mamagpungtot kaniak, agidatdatagda kadagiti daton kadagiti minuyongan, ken mangpupuor iti insenso iti rabaw dagiti ladrillo.
They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
4 Agtugtugawda iti ayan dagiti tanem ket agpatpatnagda nga agbanbantay, ken mangmanganda iti karne ti babuy nga adda kaduana a digu ti makarimon a karne kadagiti taraonda.
They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
5 Kunada, 'Umadayoka, saanka nga umas-asideg kaniak, ta nasansanto-ak ngem sika.’ Dagitoy a banbanag ket asuk iti agungko, maysa nga apuy a sumsumged iti agmalem.
[Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
6 Kitaenyo, naisurat iti sangoanak: Saanak nga agulimek, ta supapakakto ida, supapakak ida kadagiti saklotda,
I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
7 gapu kadagiti basolda ken basol dagiti ammada,” kuna ni Yahweh. “Supapakakto ida gapu iti panangpupuorda iti insenso iti rabaw dagiti bantay ken gapu iti pananglalaisda kaniak iti rabaw dagiti turturod. Dusaekto ngarud ida a kas mayannatup kadagiti napalabas nga inar-aramidda.”
for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
8 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “No kasano a masarakan ti tubbog manipud kadagiti raay ti ubas, no adda agkuna, 'Saanmo a dadaelen, ta adda nasayaat iti dayta,' kastoyto ti aramidek para iti pagimbagan iti adipenko. Saanko ida a dadaelen amin.
This is [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
9 Mangiyegakto kadagiti kaputotan manipud kenni Jacob, ken manipud iti Juda a mangtagikua kadagiti banbantayko. Tagikuaento dagiti tattao a pinilik ti daga, ken agnaedto sadiay dagiti adipenko.
I will spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
10 Agbalinto ti Saron a pagpastoran kadagiti arban, ken ti tanap ti Akor ket agbalin a paginanaan kadagiti dingwen, a maipaay kadagiti tattaok a mangsapul kaniak.
[Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
11 Ngem dakayo a mangtaltallikud kenni Yahweh, a mangliplipat iti nasantoan a bantayko, a mangisagsagana iti lamisaan a maipaay iti dios ti Gasat, ken mangpunpunno kadagiti baso iti aglalaok nga arak a maipaay iti dios a maawagan iti Pagbanagan -
But [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
12 aramidekto a kampilan ti pagtungpalanyo, ket agruknoykayto amin iti pannakapapatay, gapu ta idi immawagak, saankayo a simmungbat; idi nagsao-ak, saankayo a dimngeg; ngem ketdi, inaramidyo ti dakes iti imatangko, ken piniliyo nga aramiden ti saan a makaay-ayo kaniak.”
[It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
13 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh a Dios, “Kitaenyo, manganto dagiti adipenko, ngem mabisinankayto; kitaenyo, uminomto dagiti adipenko, ngem mawawkayto; kitaenyo, agrag-onto dagiti adipenko, ngem maibabainkayto.
I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
14 Kitaenyo, agpukkawto a sirarag-o dagiti adipenko gapu iti kinaragsak ti puso, ngem agsangitkayto gapu iti saem ti puso, ken agasugkayo gapu iti panagladingit ti espiritu.
Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
15 Ibatiyonto dagiti naganyo a kas maysa a lunod nga isao dagiti pinilik; Siak, a ni Yahweh nga Apo, papatayenkayto; awagakto dagiti adipenko babaen iti sabali a nagan.
Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
16 Siasinoman a mangibalikas iti bendision ket bendisionakto, siak a Dios ti kinapudno. Siasinoman nga agsapata iti rabaw ti daga ket agsapata babaen kaniak, a Dios ti kinapudno, gapu ta dagiti naglabas a pannakariribuk ket malipatanto, ta mailemmengdanto manipud kadagiti matak.
The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
17 Ta kitaenyo, dandanikon a parsuaen ti baro a langit ken ti baro a daga; ket dagiti naglabas a banbanag ket saanton a malagip wenno mapanunot.
“Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
18 Ngem agragsak ken agrag-okayonto iti agnanayon iti dandanik a parsuaen. Kitaenyo, dandanikon a parsuaen ti Jerusalem a kas maysa a pagrag-oan, ken dagiti tattao ti Jerusalem a kas maysa a pagragsakan.
Be glad and always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
19 Agrag-oakto iti Jerusalem ken agragsakakto kadagiti tattaok; saanton a pulos a mangngeg iti Jerusalem ti sangsangit ken as-asug gapu iti riribuk.
I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
20 Pulos a saanton a mapasamak nga adda iti maladaga sadiay nga agbiag laeng iti sumagmamano nga al-aldaw; wenno adda lakay a matay sakbay iti tiempona. Ti matay a sangagasut ti tawenna ket maibilang nga agtutubo. Ti managbasol a matay a sangagasut ti tawenna ket maibilang a nailunod.
No child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
21 Agipatakderdanto kadagiti babbalay ket agnaeddanto kadagitoy, ken agmuladanto kadagiti ubas ket kanendanto dagiti bungana.
My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
22 Saanto a pulos a mapasamak nga agipatakderda iti balay ket sabali ti agnaed iti daytoy; saanto a mapasamak nga agmula, ket sabali iti mangan; gapu ta no kasano dagiti al-aldaw dagiti kaykayo, kastanto met dagiti al-aldaw dagiti tattaok. Dagiti pinilik ket abiagto a nabaybayag ngem kadagiti aramid dagiti imada.
As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
23 Saandanto nga agtrabaho nga awan kapaypay-anna, wenno agipasngay ket maupayda. Ta isuda dagiti annak dagiti binendisionan ni Yahweh, ken dagiti kaputotanda nga adda kadakuada.
They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
24 Sakbay nga umawagda, sumungbatakto; ken kabayatan nga agsasaoda, dumngegakto.
Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for them].
25 Agkaduanto nga agarab ti lobo ken ti karnero, ken manganto iti garami ti leon a kas iti baka; ngem tapukto ti taraon ti uleg. Pulos a saandanto a mangdangran wenno mangdadael iti nasantoan a bantayko,” kuna ni Yahweh.
No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
