Isaias 9

1 Maikkatto ti saem nga adda kenkuana nga agsagsagaba. Iti naglabas a tiempo, pinabainanna ti daga ti Zabulun ken ti daga ti Naftali, ngem iti masangoanan a tiempo, pagbalinennanto daytoy a nadayag, ti dalan a mapan iti baybay, iti ballasiw ti Karayan Jordan, Galilea dagiti nasion.

Drink this first. Act quickly, O land of Zabulon, land of Nephthalim, and the rest [inhabiting] the sea-coast, and [the land] beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

2 Dagiti tattao nga agbibiag iti kinasipnget ket nakakita iti naindaklan a lawag; dagiti nagnanaed idi iti daga ti aniniwan ni patay, rinanniagan ida ti lawag.

O people walking in darkness, behold a great light: you that dwell in the region [and] shadow of death, a light shall shine upon you.

3 Pinaadumon ti nasion, ad-adda pay a pinarag-om ida; agragragsakda iti sangoanam a kas karagsak iti tiempo ti panagapit, a kas iti panagrag-o dagiti tattao no bingayenda dagiti sinamsamda.

The multitude of the people which you have brought down in your joy, they shall even rejoice before you as they that rejoice in harvest, and as they that divide the spoil.

4 Ta ti sangol ti dadagsenna, ti biga nga adda iti abagana, ti sarukod ti mangidaddadanes kenkuana, tinukkolmo a kas iti aldaw dagiti taga-Midia.

Because the yoke that was laid upon them has been taken away, and the rod that was on their neck: for he has broken the rod of the exactors, as in the day of Madiam.

5 Ta tunggal botas a mangbadbaddek iti pagrarangetan ken dagiti kawes a nadaraan ket mapuoranto, maisungrodto iti apuy.

For they shall compensate for every garment that has been acquired by deceit, and [all] raiment with restitution; and they shall be willing, [even] if they were burnt with fire.

6 Ta naipasngay kadatayo ti maysa nga ubing, naited kadatayo ti maysa nga anak a lalaki; ket maipabaklayto kenkuana ti panagturay; ken mapanagananto isuna iti Nakaskasdaaw a Mammagbaga, Mannakabalin a Dios, Agnanayon nga Ama, Prinsipe ti Kappia.

For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.

7 Awanto iti panagpatingga iti panagdur-as ti panagturayna ken iti kappia, iti panagturayna iti trono ni David ken iti pagarianna, tapno ibangonna daytoy ken pagtalinaedenna daytoy babaen iti hustisia ken kinalinteg manipud iti daytoy a tiempo ken iti agnanayon. Aramidento daytoy ti kinaregta ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.

His government shall be great, and of his peace there is no end: [it shall be] upon the throne of David, and [upon] his kingdom, to establish it, and to support [it] with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth and forever. The seal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.

8 Nangipatulod ni Apo iti sao a maibusor kenni Jacob, ket natnag daytoy iti Israel.

The Lord has sent death upon Jacob, and it has come upon Israel.

9 Maammoanto dagiti amin a tattao, uray ti Efraim ken dagiti agnanaed iti Samaria, nga agkunkuna a sipapalangguad ken addaan napasindayaw a puso,

And all the people of Ephraim, and they that lived in Samaria shall know, who say in their pride and lofty heart,

10 “Nadadaelen dagiti ladrilyo ngem ibangonminto manen babaen iti natikapan a bato; napukanen dagiti sikamoro ngem sukatanminto dagitoy kadagiti sedro.”

The bricks are fallen down, but come, let us hew stones, and cut down sycamores and cedars, and let us build for ourselves a tower.

11 Ngarud, tumakderto ni Yahweh a maibusor kenkuana, ni Rezin a kabusorna, ket tignayennanto dagiti kabusorna,

And God shall dash down them that rise up against him on mount Sion, and shall scatter his enemies;

12 dagiti Arameo iti daya ken dagiti Filisteo iti laud. Nakangangadanto a mangalun-on iti Israel. Ta gapu iti pungtotna, saanto nga agsardeng ni Yahweh ngem nakalayatto latta ti imana tapno mangdusa.

[even] Syria from the rising of the sun, and the Greeks from the setting of the sun, who devour Israel with open mouth. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but still [his] hand is exalted.

13 Ngem saanto latta nga agsubli dagiti tattao kenkuana a nangkabil kadakuada wenno saanda a biruken ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.

But the people turned not until they were struck, and they sought not the Lord.

14 Putdento ngarud ni Yahweh ti ulo ken ti ipus ti Israel, sanga ti palma ken runo, iti maysa nga aldaw.

So the Lord took away from Israel the head and tail, great and small, in one day:

15 Ti pangulo ken ti natakneng a lalaki ket isuda dagiti ulo; ken ti profeta nga agisursuro iti inuulbod ket ti ipus.

the old man, and them that respect persons, this is the head; and the prophet teaching unlawful things, he is the tail.

16 Dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao ket iyaw-awanda ida ken naalun-on dagiti indauloanda a tattao.

And they that pronounce this people blessed shall mislead them; and they mislead them that they may devour them.

17 Saanto ngarud a maragsakan ti Apo kadagiti agtutuboda, kasta met a saanna a kaasian dagiti ulila iti ama ken dagiti balo, agsipud ta awan dios ti tunggal maysa ken agar-aramidda iti dakes, ken agsasao kadagiti minamaag ti tunggal bibig. Ngem gapu amin kadagitoy, saan nga maawan ti pungtot ni Yahweh ket nakalayatto latta ti imana a mangdusa.

Therefore the Lord shall not take pleasure in their young men, neither shall he have pity on their orphans or on their widows: for they are all transgressors and wicked, and every mouth speaks unjustly. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.

18 Mangur-uram ti kinadangkes a kas iti apuy; uramenna dagiti siit ken sisiitan a ruot; uramenna pay ti napuskol a kabakiran nga uray la umasimbuyok a napuskol nga asok.

And iniquity shall burn as fire, and shall be devoured by fire as dry grass: and it shall burn in the thickets of the wood, and shall devour all that is round about the hills.

19 Gapu iti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, mauram ti daga, ket kasla sungrod iti apuy dagiti tattao. Awan iti tao a mangispal iti kabsatna.

The whole earth is set on fire because of the fierce anger of the Lord, and the people shall be as men burnt by fire: no man shall pity his brother.

20 Mangiwadanto iti karne kadagiti kannawan nga imada ngem mabisindanto latta; kanendanto ti karne ti kannigid nga imada ngem saandanto a mapnek. Kanento pay ti tunggal maysa ti lasag ti takyagna.

But [one] shall turn aside to the right hand, for he shall be hungry; and shall eat on the left, and a man shall by no means be satisfied with eating the flesh of his own arm.

21 Alun-onento ti Manases ti Efraim, ket alun-onento met ti Efraim ti Manases; ket agkaduadanto a mangraut iti Juda. Laksidto amin kadagitoy, saanto nga agbaaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh, ngem nakalayatto latta ti imana tapno mangdusa.

For Manasses shall eat [the flesh] of Ephraim, and Ephraim [the flesh] of Manasses; for they shall besiege Juda together. For all this [his] anger is not turned away, but [his] hand is yet exalted.
