< Isaias 8 >

1 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mangalaka iti dakkel a tapi ti bato ket isuratmo ditoy ti 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
Adonai said to me, “Take a large tablet, and write on it with a man’s pen, ‘For 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 will take for myself faithful witnesses to testify: Uriah [My light Yah] the priest, and Zechariah [Remembered by Yah] 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.'
I went to the prophetess, and she conceived, and bore a son. Then Adonai said to 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 child knows how to say, ‘My father,’ and, ‘My mother,’ the riches of Damascus [Bucket of blood] and the plunder of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria [Level plain].”
5 Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak,
Adonai spoke to me yet again, 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,
“Because this people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
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,
now therefore, behold, 'Adonay [Lord] brings upon them the mighty flood waters of the River: the king of Assyria [Level plain] and all his glory. It will come up over all its channels, and go over all its 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.”
It will sweep onward into Judah [Praised]. It will overflow and pass through; it will reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings will fill the width of your land, 'Immanu El [God is with us].
9 Maburak-burakkayonto, dakayo a tattao. Dumngegkayo, dakayo amin nga adayo a pagillian: Agsaganakayo a makigubat ngem maburak-burakkayonto; agarmaskayo ngem maburak-burakkayonto.
Make an uproar, you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Listen, all you from far countries: dress for battle, and be shattered! Dress for battle, and be shattered!
10 Agpanggepkayo ngem saanto a maipatungpal daytoy; mangipaulogkayo iti bilin ngem saanto a maipatungpal, ta adda kadakami ti Dios.
Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will 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 Adonai spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and 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.
“Don’t say, ‘A conspiracy!’ concerning all about which this people say, ‘A conspiracy!’ neither fear their threats, nor be terrorized.
13 Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, dayawem isuna a kas nasantoan, agbutengka kenkuana, isuna ti rumbeng a pagbutngam.
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is who you must respect as holy. He is the one you must fear. He is the one you must 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.
He will be a sanctuary, but for both houses of Israel [God prevails], he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And a trap and a snare for the inhabitants of Jerusalem [City of peace].
15 Adunto iti maitibkol iti daytoy ket matumbada, marumekrumekda, ken masiluandanto ket matiliwda.
Many will stumble over it, fall, be broken, be snared, and be captured.”
16 Galutam ti pammaneknekko, selyoam ti kasuratan, ket itedmo kadagiti adalak.
Wrap up the testimony. Seal the Torah ·Teaching· among my disciples.
17 Urayek ni Yahweh a nangilinged iti rupana manipud iti balay ni Jacob; urayek isuna.
I will wait for Adonai, who hides his face from the house of Jacob [Supplanter], and I will trust in 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 whom Adonai has given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel [God prevails] from Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], who dwells in Mount Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
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?
When they tell you, “Consult with those who have familiar spirits and with the wizards, who chirp and who mutter:” should not a people consult with their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?
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.
Turn to the Torah ·Teaching· and to the testimony! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.
21 Lumasatdanto iti daga a napnoan iti riribuk ken panagbisin. Inton agbisinda, makaungetdanto ken ilunoddanto ti ari ken ti Diosda kabayatan iti panagtangadda.
They will pass through it, very distressed and hungry; and it will happen that when they are hungry, they will worry, and curse by their king and by their God. They will turn their faces upward,
22 Kumitadanto iti daga ket makitada dagiti pannakariribuk, kinasipnget, ken ti saem ti pannakaidadanes. Maiturongdanto iti daga ti kinasipnget.
and look to the earth, and see distress, darkness, and the gloom of anguish. They will be driven into thick darkness.
