< Esias 18 >

1 Woe to you, you wings of the land of ships, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.
Asi pay ti daga dagiti banerber dagiti payyak nga adda iti labes dagiti karayan ti Etiopia;
2 He sends messengers by the sea, and paper letters on the water: for swift messengers shall go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and harsh people. Who is beyond it? a nation not looked for, and trodden down.
a mangibaon kadagiti mensahero iti igid ti baybay, kadagiti bilog a naaramid iti karwawe nga adda kadagiti rabaw ti danum. Mapankayo, dakayo a naalibtak a mensahero iti nasion a natatayag ken nakikinis ti kudilda, kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngan dagiti adda iti adayo ken iti asideg, napigsa ken nabileg a nasion, a ti dagana ket biningay dagiti karayan!
3 Now all the rivers of the land shall be inhabited as an inhabited country; their land shall be as when a signal is raised from a mountain; it shall be audible as the sound of a trumpet.
Dakayo amin nga agnanaed iti lubong ken dakayo nga agnanaed iti daga, no ti bandera ket naitag-ay iti tapaw dagiti bantay, kumitakayo; ken no napuyutan ti trumpeta, dumngegkayo.
4 For thus said the Lord to me, There shall be security in my city, as the light of noonday heat, and it shall be as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.
Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh kaniak, “Agpaliiwak a siuulimek manipud iti pagtaengak, a kasla iti dumardarang a pudot ti init, a kasla ulep ti linnaaw iti nadagaang a panagapit.”
5 Before the reaping time, when the flower has been completely formed, and the unripe grape has put forth its flower and blossomed, then shall he take away the little clusters with pruning-hooks, and shall take away the small branches, and cut them off;
Sakbay iti panagapit, inton nalpasen ti panagsasabong ken ti sabong ket agbalbalinen nga ubas, kumpayenanto dagiti sanga, putdenna ket ikkatenna dagiti narampaya a sangsanga.
6 And he shall leave [them] together to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth: and the fowls of the sky shall be gathered upon them, and all the beasts of the land shall come upon him.
Mabaybay-andanto nga agpaay kadagiti billit iti banbantay ken kadagiti ayup iti daga. Kanento dagiti billit dagitoy iti tiempo ti kalgaw ken kanento dagiti amin nga ayup iti daga dagitoy iti tiempo ti lammiis.
7 In that time shall presents be brought to the Lord of hosts from a people afflicted and peeled, and from a people great from henceforth and for ever; a nation hoping and [yet] trodden down, which is in a part of a river of his land, to the place where is the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Sion.
Iti dayta a tiempo, maiyegto kenni Yahweh, a Mannakabalin-amin dagiti sagut manipud kadagiti tattao a natatayag ken nakikinis ti kudilna, manipud kadagiti tattao a pagbutbutngan dagiti adda iti adayo ken iti asideg, maysa a napigsa ken nabileg a nasion, nga akin-daga iti biningay ti karayan, iti lugar ti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin -amin, iti Bantay ti Sion.
