< Isaiah 40 >

1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
“Liwliwaenyo, liwliwaenyo dagiti tattaok,” kuna ti Diosyo.
2 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her time of suffering is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she hath received of Jehovah's hand double for all her sins.
Agsaokayo a naalumanay iti Jerusalem; ken ipakaammoyo kenkuana a naglippasen ti pannakigubatna, a napakawanen dagiti nagbasolanna, ta inawatnan manipud iti ima ni Yahweh iti namindua a daras ti supapak iti amin a basbasolna.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God!
Maysa a timek ti agpukpukaw, “Iti let-ang, isaganayo ti dalan ni Yahweh; iti Araba, palintegenyo ti dalan nga agpaay iti Diostayo.”
4 Every valley shall be raised up, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places a plain.
Tunggal tanap ket ngumatonto, ken tunggal bantay ken turod ket mapatad; ken dagiti likka-likkaong ken lasonglasong a daga ket mapatadto
5 And the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
ken ti dayag ni Yahweh ket maiparangarangto, ken sangsangkamaysanto a makita daytoy dagiti amin a tattao; ta insao daytoy ti ngiwat ni Yahweh.
6 A voice saith, Cry. And he saith, What shall I cry? — All flesh is grass, and all the comeliness thereof as the flower of the field.
Kuna ti maysa a timek, “Agsangitka.” Simmungbat ti maysa, “Ania ngay ti isangitak?” “Amin a lasag ket kasla ruot, ken ti kinapudnoda iti tulag ket kasla sabong iti tay-ak.
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, for the breath of Jehovah bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Magango dagiti ruot ken malaylay ti sabong no agpuyopoy ti anges ni Yahweh iti daytoy; pudno unay a ti sangkataoan ket kasla ruot.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God abideth for ever.
Magango ti ruot, malaylay ti sabong ngem ti sao ti Dios ket mataginayon.”
9 O Zion, that bringest glad tidings, get thee up into a high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest glad tidings, lift up thy voice with strength: lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Sumang-atka iti tapaw ti nangato a bantay, O Sion a taga-iwaragawag iti naimbag a damag, ket ipukkawmo ti timekmo a buyogam ti pigsa; iwaragawagmo ti naimbag a damag iti Jerusalem. Ipukkawmo; saanka nga agbuteng. Ibagam kadagiti siudad ti Juda, “Adtoy ti Diosyo!”
10 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with might, and his arm shall rule for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompence before him.
Kitaem, um-ummay ti Apo a ni Yahweh a kas maysa a naballigi a mannakigubat, ken ti nabileg nga imana ti mangiturturay para kenkuana. Kitaem, adda kenkuana iti gungunana, ket umun-una kenkuana ti pagsupapakna.
11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd: he will gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom; he will gently lead those that give suck.
Taraonanna ti arbanna a kas iti maysa nga agpapastor, ummongenna iti takkiagna dagiti urbon a karnero, ken awitenna ida iti asideg ti pusona, ken naannadnanto nga idauloan dagiti kabaian a karnero nga apaspasuso kadagiti urbonda.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out the heavens with [his] span, and grasped the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance, and the hills in scales?
Siasino ti nangsukat iti danum iti dakulap ti imana, nangrukod iti kinalawa ti tangatang, nangummong iti tapuk ti lubong iti maysa a basket, nangtimbang kadagiti banbantay wenno turturod iti pagtimbangan?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of Jehovah, and, [as] his counsellor, hath taught him?
Siasino ti makaammo iti panunot ni Yahweh, wenno nangisuro kenkuana a kas mammagbagana?
14 With whom took he counsel, and [who] gave him intelligence, and instructed him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed him the way of understanding?
Adda kadin ti nangbalakad kenkuana? Siasino ti nangisuro kenkuana iti husto a wagas a mangaramid kadagiti banbanag, ken nangisuro kenkuana iti pannakaammo, wenno nangipakita kenkuana iti dalan ti pannakaawat?
15 Behold, the nations are esteemed as a drop of the bucket, and as the fine dust on the scales; behold, he taketh up the isles as an atom.
Kitaenyo, dagiti nasion ket maiyarig iti maysa a tedted iti timba, ken naibilang a kasla tapok iti pagtimbangan; kitaenyo, timtimbangenna dagiti puro a kasla mulit.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering.
Saan nga umdas a pagsungrod ti Lebanon, wenno dagiti atap nga ayup dagitoy ket saan nga umdas para iti daton a mapuoran.
17 All the nations are as nothing before him; they are esteemed by him less than a cipher, and vanity.
Amin a nasion ket saan nga umdas iti sangoananna; imbilangna ida nga awan serserbida.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? and what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo iti Dios? Iti ania a didiosen ti pangipadaanyo kenkuana?
19 The workman casteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains [for it].
Iti maysa a didiosen! Sukogen daytoy ti maysa a dumidisenio; pakalupkopan daytoy ti mammanday iti balitok ken imontaranna iti pirak a kawar.
20 He that is impoverished, so that he hath no offering, chooseth a tree that doth not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilled workman to prepare a graven image that shall not be moved.
Tapno mangidaton, mangpili isuna iti kayo a saan a bakbaken; agbirok isuna iti kumikitikit nga agaramid iti didiosen a saan a matuang.
21 — Do ye not know? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood the foundation of the earth?
Saanyo kadi a naammoan? Saanyo kadi a nangngeg? Saan kadi a naibaga kadakayo manipud idi punganay? Saanyo kadi a naawatan manipud iti pannaka-ipundasion iti lubong?
22 [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a gauze curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in;
Isuna ti agtugtugaw iti ngatoen ti daga; ken dagiti agtataeng ket kasla kadagiti dudon iti sangoananna. Iyuk-ukradna dagiti langit a kasla kurtina ken iwarwarasna dagitoy a kas tolda a pagyanan.
23 that bringeth the princes to nothing, that maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Pabassitenna dagiti mangiturturay ken ar-aramidenna ida nga awan pategda ditoy daga.
24 Scarcely are they planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely hath their stock taken root in the earth, but he also bloweth upon them and they wither, and the whirlwind taketh them away as stubble.
Kitaenyo, saanda unay a naimula; kitaenyo, saanda unay a naiwaris; kitaenyo, saanda unay a rimmamot iti daga, sakbay pay a puyotanna ida, ket aglaylaydan, ken itayab ida ti pul-oy ti angin a kasla arutang.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
“Siasino ngarud ti pangipadisanyo kaniak, siasino ti kalanglangak?” kuna ti Nasantoan a Dios.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and see! Who hath created these things, bringing out their host by number? He calleth them all by name; through the greatness of his might and strength of power, not one faileth.
Tumangadkayo iti tangatang! Siasino ti nangparsua amin kadagitoy a bitbituen? Tinudinganna dagitoy kadagiti puestoda ken aw-awaganna amin ida iti naganda. Babaen iti kinatan-ok ti bilegna ken babaen iti pigsa ti pannakabalinna, awan ti uray maysa a mapukpukaw.
27 Why sayest thou, Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and my right is passed away from my God?
Jacob, apay a kunaem, ken Israel, apay nga ipaduyakyakmo, “Nailinged kenni Yahweh ti dalanko, ken awan ti pakaseknan ti Diosko maipapan iti panangikalintegak?”
28 Dost thou not know, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not nor tireth? There is no searching of his understanding.
Saanyo kadi a naammoan? Saanyo kadi a nangngeg? Ti agnanayon a Dios a ni Yahweh, a Namarsua iti pagpatinggaan ti daga ket saan a mabannog wenno agkapsut; awan ti pagpatinggaan ti pannakaawatna.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength.
Pappapigsaenna dagiti nabannog; ken pabpabaroenna ti regget dagiti nakapuy.
30 Even the youths shall faint and shall tire, and the young men shall stumble and fall;
Uray dagiti agtutubo ket mabannog ken agkapuy, ken dagiti ubbing ket maitibkol ken maitublak;
31 but they that wait upon Jehovah shall renew [their] strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not tire; they shall walk, and not faint.
ngem dagiti agur-uray kenni Yahweh ket pabaroenda ti pigsada; agtayabda nga addaan iti payyak a kasla kadagiti agila; agtaraydanto ket saanda a mabannog; magnadanto ket saanda a matalimudaw.
