< Isaiah 1 >

1 [I am] Isaiah, the son of Amoz. [Yahweh showed me] visions about Jerusalem and [all the other places in] Judah. He showed me these visions during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were kings of Judah.
Ti Sirmata ni Isaias a putot ni Amos, a nakitana maipapan iti Juda ken Jerusalem, kadagidi al-aldaw da Uzzias, Jotam, Acaz ken Ezekias a nagbalin nga ar-ari ti Juda.
2 This is what Yahweh says: “All you [angels in] [APO] heaven and [all you people on] [APO] earth, listen to me! The people that I caused to exist and took care of [DOU] have rebelled against me.
Dumngegkayo a langlangit, ken denggem, daga; ta nagsao ni Yahweh: “Nangaywan ken nangpadakkelak kadagiti ubbing, ngem nagsukirda kaniak.
3 Oxen know their owners, and donkeys know who provides food for them, but my Israeli people do not know [me]; they do not realize [that I am the one who takes care of them].”
Ammo ti baka ti akin-kukua kenkuana, ken ammo ti asno iti pagpakanan ti amona, ngem saan nga ammo ti Israel, awan pannakaawat ti Israel.”
4 Terrible things will happen to that sinful nation, to those people who are guilty of sinning greatly. They are a group of very evil people, who act very unjustly. They have abandoned Yahweh, the holy one of Israel; they have (abandoned/turned away from) him.
Asika pay a nasion, managbasol, tattao a nailumlom iti kinadangkes, anak dagiti managdakdakes, annak nga agtigtignay a sidadakes! Tinallikudanda ni Yahweh, linaisda ti Nasantoan a Dios ti Israel, pinagbalinda a gangannaet dagiti bagbagida manipud kenkuana.
5 Why do you [RHQ] continue to [do things for which] you should be punished? Why do you continue to rebel against Yahweh? [You are like] [MET] someone whose head is badly injured and whose mind is sick/corrupt.
Apay ketdin a ti pakabautanyo ti birbirukenyo? Apay ta itultuloyyo ti panagsukiryo? Ti sibubukel nga ulo ket masakit, ti sibubukel a puso ket nakapuy.
6 [It is as though] [MET] from the soles/bottoms of your feet to the [tops of your] heads nothing is healthy; there are only open wounds and cuts and sores that have not been cleaned or bandaged, and no [olive] oil has been put on them [to heal them].
Manipud iti dapan agingga iti ulo, awan ti paset a saan a nadangran: pasig a sugsugat, litlitem, ken silulukat a sugsugat; saanda pay a nagserra, nadalusan, nabedbedan, wenno saan pay a naagasan iti lana.
7 [It is as though] your country is ruined/desolate; your towns have been burned. Foreigners plunder/steal the crops in your fields while you watch; they destroy everything [that they see].
Nadadael ti pagilianyo; napuoran dagiti siudadyo, dagiti taltalonyo-iti presensiayo-daddadaelen dagitoy dagiti ganggannaet-nadadael ken napanawan, pinarmek dagiti ganggannaet.
8 The city of Jerusalem has [already] been abandoned, it is like [SIM] a shelter in a vineyard that has been abandoned by the watchmen; it is like [SIM] a watchman’s hut in a field of melons that has been deserted. It is a city surrounded by its enemies who are waiting to attack it.
Napanawan ti anak ti Sion a kasla kalapaw iti maysa a kaubasan, kasla paglinungan iti nakaimulaan dagiti pipino, kasla nalakub a siudad.
9 If the Commander of the armies of angels had not allowed a few of us [his people] to (survive/remain alive), we would have [all] been [destroyed], like [the cities of] Sodom and Gomorrah [were destroyed].
No saan a nagibati ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin iti bassit kadatayo, nagbalintayo koman a kasla iti Sodoma, mabalin a nagbalintayo koman a kasla iti Gomora;
10 You [leaders of Judah are as wicked as] the rulers of Sodom were, and you [other people in Jerusalem areas are as wicked as] the people in Gomorrah [were]. Listen to this message from Yahweh, [all of you]!
Denggenyo ti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a mangiturturay iti Sodoma; dumngegkayo iti linteg ti Diostayo, dakayo a tattao iti Gomora:
11 He says, “You continue to bring many sacrifices to me, but I do not [RHQ] want them [because you do not worship me sincerely]! You bring me many offerings to be completely burned [on the altar], [but] I (am tired/do not want any more) of your burning all those offerings, the burning rams and the fat from fat cattle. I am not pleased with the blood of bulls and lambs and goats that [the priest] pours [against the altar].
“Ania ngay koma ti serbi kaniak dagiti adu a sagsagutyo?” kinuna ni Yahweh. “Naumaakon kadagiti daton a mapuoran a kalakian a karnero, ken iti taba dagiti napalukmeg nga ay-ayup; ken saanko a pagragsakan ti dara dagiti bulog a baka, karnero, wenno kalding.
12 When you come to my temple to worship me, no one [RHQ] told you to trample on my courtyard while you perform all those rituals.
No kasta nga umaykayo dumatag iti sangoanak, siasino ti nangkiddaw kadakayo iti daytoy, a baddekanyo dagiti paraangak?
13 Stop bringing to me those offerings, because they are useless [to me]; I am disgusted with the incense that [the priests burn]. And [your feasts to celebrate] the new moon [each month] and your (Sabbath [days]/days of rest) and your [other] festivals— I detest them because of the wicked things [that you do].
Saankayon a mangiyeg kadagiti awan serserbina a sagsagut; makarimon kaniak ti insenso; ti panangrambakyo iti baro a bulan ken panagtitiponyo iti Aldaw ti Panaginana-saanko a maanusan no kasta nga agtitiponkayo gapu kadagiti dakes nga ar-aramidenyo.
14 I [SYN] hate [all] your celebrations of each new moon and the [other] festivals that you celebrate each year. They are [like] [MET] a heavy burden that I am tired of carrying.
Kagurak ti panangrambakyo iti baro a bulan ken dagiti naikeddeng a fiestayo; dadagsen dagitoy kaniak; nabannogakon a mangib-ibtur kadagitoy.
15 [So], when you lift up your hands when you pray [to me], I will not [even] look at you. Even if you pray [to me very] frequently, I will not listen [to you], [because it is as though] your hands are covered with the blood [of people whom you have killed].
Isu a tunggal ingatoyo dagiti imayo nga agkararag, ilingedko dagiti matak kadakayo; uray no mangipaaykayo iti adu a karkararag, saanakto a dumngeg; napno iti dara dagiti imayo.
16 Cleanse your inner beings, and become [spiritually] clean! Stop your evil behavior! Stop doing things that are wrong!
Agbuggokayo, dalusanyo dagiti bagbagiyo; ikkatenyo dagiti dakes nga aramidyo manipud iti imatangko; isardengyo ti kinadakesyo;
17 Learn to do [things that are] good! [Try to] cause people to do what is just. Help people who are (oppressed/treated cruelly). Defend orphans and widows [when people take them to court].”
sursuroenyo ti agaramid iti naimbag; ipakatyo ti hustisia, tulunganyo dagiti maidaddadanes, ikalinteganyo dagiti ulila iti ama, salaknibanyo dagiti balo.”
18 Yahweh says, “You need to think about the results of what you do. Even though [the guilt of] your sins be [as evident and as difficult to get rid of] as [SIM] red [stains on a white garment] [DOU], [I will get rid of them completely] [like someone who can make that stained garment] become as white as snow or wool [DOU].
“Umaykayo ita, ta aglilinnawagtayo,” kuna ni Yahweh; “uray no dagiti basolyo ket kasla naraniag a nalabaga, pumurawdanto a kasla niebe; uray no nalabagada a kasla karmesi, kasladanto kapuraw iti dutdot.
19 If you are willing to obey [me], [I will enable] you to have plenty to eat.
No natulok ken natulnogkayo, kanenyonto ti naimbag nga apit iti daga.
20 But, if you turn away [from me and] rebel against me, you will be killed [by your enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen, because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
ngem no agkedked ken agsukirkayo, alun-onennakayonto ti kampilan,” ta ti ngiwat ni Yahweh ti nangisao iti daytoy.
21 “[You people of Jerusalem previously] faithfully [worshiped only] me, but now you have become like [MET] prostitutes [who are not faithful to any husband]. Previously, people there always acted justly/fairly and righteously, but now your city [is full of] murderers.
Nagkas-angen ta nagbalinen a balangkantis ti napudno a siudad! Napnoan isuna iti hustisia- napnoan isuna iti kinalinteg, ngem ita napnoan isunan kadagiti mammapatay.
22 Previously, you were [like] [MET] pure silver, but now you have become [like] [MET] the scum that is left [when silver is purified]. Previously you were [like pure] wine, but you have become [like] [MET] wine that has [a lot of] water mixed with it.
Ti pirakmo ket nagbalin a narugit, ti arakmo ket nalaokan iti danum.
23 Your leaders are rebels; they spend time with thieves. They all want to get bribes and force others to give them gifts [in order that they do good things for them]. They do not defend orphans [in court], and they do not do all they can to enable widows to get what they should receive.
Dagiti prinsipem ket nasukir ken kakadua dagiti mannanakaw; pagaayat ti amin ti pasuksok ken gunguna. Saanda nga ikalkalintegan dagiti ulila iti ama, ken dagiti darum dagiti balo ket saan a makagteng kadakuada.
24 Therefore [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, the mighty God of Israel, say to my enemies, ‘will get revenge on you; you will not cause me any more trouble. And I will pay you back for the evil things that you did.
Isu a daytoy ti pakaammo ti Apo, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Mannakabalin a Dios ti Israel: Asida pay! Agibalesakto kadagiti kabusorko, ket balsek dagiti kabusorko;
25 I will raise my fist to strike you. I will [punish you severely] [MET], as though [MET] you were silver [and I needed to heat you very greatly to] melt you and get rid of the impurities.
iturongkonto ti imak a maibusor kadakayo, dalusak dagiti rugityo, ken ikkatek amin ti kinarugityo.
26 [After that happens, ] I will give you good judges like you had previously; you will have [wise] counselors like you had long ago. Then people will call your city “a city where people [act] righteously, a city where people are loyal to me.”'”
Isublikto dagiti ukomyo a kas idi un-unana, ken dagiti mammagbagayo a kas idi punganay; kalpasan dayta, maawagankanto a siudad ti kinalinteg, maysa a napudno nga ili.”
27 Because the people of Jerusalem will do what is fair/just, their city will be restored; those who repent [will be saved] because of [their acting] righteously.
Masubbotto ti Sion babaen iti hustisia, ken dagiti tattaona nga agbabawi babaen iti kinalinteg.
28 But rebels and sinners will be crushed by Yahweh, and those who forsake him will disappear.
Madadaelto a sangsangkamaysa dagiti nasukir ken managbasol, ken mapapatayto dagiti tumallikud kenni Yahweh.
29 You will be ashamed because [you worshiped] idols under the oak trees [that you considered to be] sacred; you will be disgraced because [you worshiped idols] in the gardens where you chose [to worship them].
“Ta mabainkayonto gapu kadagiti nasagradoan a lugo a kaykayo a tinarigagayanyo, ket mabainankayto gapu kadagiti minuyongan a piniliyo.
30 You will be like [SIM] a very large tree which has withered leaves, like [SIM] a garden that [is dried up because] it has no water.
Ta kaiyariganyonto ti kayo alugo a magango dagiti bulongna, ken kasla minuyongan nga awan iti danumna.
31 Those among you who are [very] strong will become [like] [MET] dry wood, and the work they do will be [like] [MET] a spark; both they and the evil things that they do will burn up completely, and no one will be able to put out the fire.
Ti napigsa a tao ket kaslanto nagango a kayo ken ti aramidna ket kas iti risak; mapuoranda nga agpada, ket awanto ti mang-iddep kadakuada.”
