Isaias 26
1 Iti dayta nga aldaw, maikantanto daytoy a kanta iti daga ti Juda: Addaankami iti natibker a siudad; inaramid ti Dios a pakaisalakanan dagiti pader ken dagiti sarikedked daytoy.
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Lukatanyo dagiti ruangan, tapno makastrek ti nalinteg a nasion a mangsalsalimetmet iti pammati.
Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth truth may enter in.
3 Ti panunot a sitatalinaed kenka, ket pagtalinaedemto ti naan-anay a kinatalnana, ta agtaltalek daytoy kenka.
Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee.
4 Agtalekka kenni Yahweh iti agnanayon; ta kenni Yah, ni Yahweh ket agnanayon a dakkel a bato.
Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is an everlasting rock.
5 Ta ipababananto dagiti agbibiag a sipapalangguad, ipababananto ti nasarikedkedan a siudad, rebbaennanto daytoy a naan-anay iti daga; ipatadnanto daytoy iti tapuk.
For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
6 Ipayatpayatto dagiti napanglaw ken ibaddebaddekto dagiti marigrigat.
The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 Patad ti dalan dagiti nalinteg, O Apo a Nalinteg; palpalintegem ti dalan dagiti nalinteg.
The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art up right dost direct the path of the just.
8 Wen iti wagas ti panangukommo, O Yahweh, urayendaka; ti nagan ken kinasin-awmo ti tarigagaymi.
Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; to thy name and to thy memorial is the desire of our soul.
9 Iti rabii, sapsapulenka; wen, sigagagar a birbirukennaka toy espirituk. Ta inton dumteng dagiti panangukommo ditoy daga, sursuroento dagiti agnanaed iti daga ti maipapan iti kinalinteg.
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
10 Uray mapakitaan iti asi ti nadangkes, saannanto a masursuro ti kinalinteg. Iti daga ti kinalinteg, dakes ti ar-aramidenna ket saanna a makita ti kinatan-ok ni Yahweh.
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
11 Yahweh, nakatag-ay ta imam, ngem saanda a makita. Ngem makitadanto ti kinagagarmo a mangbendision kadagiti tattao ket maibabaindanto, gapu ta alun-onento ida ti apuy dagiti kabusormo.
LORD, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be ashamed; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
12 O Yahweh, talna koma ti iyegmo kadakami; ta pudno a lineppasmo met para kadakami dagiti amin a trabahomi.
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
13 O Yahweh a Diosmi, inturayandakami dagiti dadduma nga apo malaksid kenka; ngem ti naganmo laeng ti idaydayawmi.
O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 Natayda, saandanto nga agbiag; natayda, saandanto a bumangon. Pudno unay, dimtengka a mangukom ken dinadaelmo ida, ket pinukawmo ti tunggal pakalaglagipan kadakuada.
[They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
15 Pinadakkelmo ti nasion, O Yahweh, pinadakkelmo ti nasion; naidayawka; pinalawam ti amin a masakupan ti daga.
Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
16 Yahweh, iti tiempo ti riribuk, kimmitada kenka; nagiyebkasda pay kadagiti orasion a maibusor iti dakes idi dinisiplinaam ida.
LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them.
17 Kas iti masikog nga umadanin nga agpasngay, agpasikal isuna ket agriaw iti panagpasikalna; kasta met ti napasaranmi iti sangoanam, Apo.
Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been before thee, O LORD.
18 Nagsikogkami, nagpasikalkami, ngem kasla la naganakkami laeng iti angin. Saankami a nangyeg iti pannakaisalakan ditoy daga, ket saan a natnag dagiti agbibiag iti lubong.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Agbiagto dagiti minatayyo, bumangonto dagiti minataymi. Agriingkayo ket agkantakayo gapu iti rag-o, dakayo nga adda iti tapuk; gapu ta ti linnaawyo ket ti linnaw dagiti ruot, ket agungarto manen dagiti natay manipud iti daga.
Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust: for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
20 Mapankayo, tattaok, sumrekkayo kadagiti siledyo ket iserrayo dagiti ridaw iti likudanyo; aglemmengkayo pay laeng, agingga nga agbaaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
21 Ta, kitaenyo, umadanin a rummuar ni Yahweh iti ayanna a mangdusa kadagiti agbibiag iti daga gapu kadagiti basolda; ikkatento ti daga ti naiyabbong iti nagsayasay a dara iti daga, ket saanton a mailemmeng ti daga dagiti napapatay nga adda iti daytoy.
For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
