< Isaias 8 >

1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mangalaka iti dakkel a tapi ti bato ket isuratmo ditoy ti 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
And Jehovah said to me, Take thee a great tablet, and write thereon with a man's style, concerning Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
2 Mangayabakto kadagiti napudno a tattao a mangpaneknek kaniak, ni Urias a padi, ken ni Zacarias a putot ni Jeberekias.”
And I took unto me to witness, sure witnesses, Urijah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 Napanak iti ayan ti babai a profeta ket nagsikog isuna ken nagpasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Panaganam isuna ti 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
And I came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son; and Jehovah said unto me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
4 Gapu ta sakbay pay a makabalikas ti ubing iti 'Amak' wenno 'Inak,' dagiti amin a kinabaknang ti Damasco ken ti nasamsam iti Samaria ket ipanawto ti ari ti Asiria.”
For before the lad knoweth to cry, My father! and, My mother! the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak,
And Jehovah spoke again to me, saying,
6 “Gapu ta pinagkedkedan dagitoy a tattao dagiti nainnayad a danum ti Siloe, ken maragsakanda kenni Rezin ken iti lalaki a putot ni Remalias,
Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah which flow softly, and rejoiceth in Rezin and in the son of Remaliah,
7 ngarud, dandanin nga iyeg ti Apo kadakuada dagiti danum iti Karayan, naranggas ken adu, ti ari ti Asiria ken ti amin a dayagna. Umadalemto amin a pagayusanna ken lapunosenna dagiti teppangna,
therefore behold, the Lord will bring up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall mount up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 ket agayusto nga agturong iti Juda, manglayusto ken agayusto agingga a madanonna ti tengngedmo. Sakupento ti nakaukrad a payyakna ti entero a dagam, Immanuel.”
and he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow it and go further, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel!
9 Maburak-burakkayonto, dakayo a tattao. Dumngegkayo, dakayo amin nga adayo a pagillian: Agsaganakayo a makigubat ngem maburak-burakkayonto; agarmaskayo ngem maburak-burakkayonto.
Rage, ye peoples, and be broken in pieces! And give ear, all ye distant parts of the earth: Gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and be broken in pieces!
10 Agpanggepkayo ngem saanto a maipatungpal daytoy; mangipaulogkayo iti bilin ngem saanto a maipatungpal, ta adda kadakami ti Dios.
Settle a plan, and it shall come to nought; speak a word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11 Nagsao kaniak ni Yahweh, ket kasla la iniggamannak ti napigsa nga imana, ken binallaagannak a saanak a magna iti wagas dagitoy a tattao.
For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and he instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Saanmo nga ibaga a dakes a panggep dagiti aniaman nga ibagbaga dagitoy a tattao a dakes a panggep, saanmo a pagbutngan dagiti pagbutbutnganda, ket saanka nga agbutbuteng.
Ye shall not say, Conspiracy, of everything of which this people saith, Conspiracy; and fear ye not their fear, and be not in dread.
13 Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, dayawem isuna a kas nasantoan, agbutengka kenkuana, isuna ti rumbeng a pagbutngam.
Jehovah of hosts, him shall ye sanctify; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 Agbalinto isuna a santuario; ngem agbalinto isuna a bato a maitama kadakuada, ken dakkel a bato a pakaitibkolanda—kadagiti dua a balay ti Israel. Ken agbalinto isuna a silo ken palab-og kadagiti tattao ti Jerusalem.
And he will be for a sanctuary; and for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 Adunto iti maitibkol iti daytoy ket matumbada, marumekrumekda, ken masiluandanto ket matiliwda.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
16 Galutam ti pammaneknekko, selyoam ti kasuratan, ket itedmo kadagiti adalak.
Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 Urayek ni Yahweh a nangilinged iti rupana manipud iti balay ni Jacob; urayek isuna.
And I will wait for Jehovah, who hideth his face from the house of Jacob; and I will look for him.
18 Kitaem, siak ken dagiti annak nga inted kaniak ni Yahweh ket maipaay a pagilasinan ken nakaskasdaaw iti Israel manipud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin nga agnanaed iti Bantay Sion.
Behold, I and the children that Jehovah hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 Ibagadanto kadakayo, “Makiumankayo kadagiti makium-uman kadagiti espiritu ken salamangkero,” dagiti agar-arasaas ken agtaltalamitim. Ngem saan aya a rumbeng koma a makiuman dagiti tattao iti Diosda? Rumbeng kadi a makiumanda kadigiti natay nga agpaay kadagiti sibibiag?
And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto the necromancers and unto the soothsayers, who chirp and who mutter, [say, ] Shall not a people seek unto their God? [Will they go] for the living unto the dead?
20 Isu a masapul nga ipangagyo ti linteg ken ti pammaneknek! No saanda nga ibaga dagitti kasta a banbanag, daytoy ket gapu ta awan iti lawag kadakuada.
To the law and the testimony! If they speak not according to this word, for them there is no daybreak.
21 Lumasatdanto iti daga a napnoan iti riribuk ken panagbisin. Inton agbisinda, makaungetdanto ken ilunoddanto ti ari ken ti Diosda kabayatan iti panagtangadda.
And they shall pass through it, hard pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass when they are hungry, they will fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and will gaze upward:
22 Kumitadanto iti daga ket makitada dagiti pannakariribuk, kinasipnget, ken ti saem ti pannakaidadanes. Maiturongdanto iti daga ti kinasipnget.
and they will look to the earth; and behold, trouble and darkness, gloom of anguish; and they shall be driven into thick darkness.
