< Isaiah 32 >

1 Listen to this! Some day there will be a righteous king, and his officials will help him to rule justly/fairly.
Denggenyo, agturayto a sililinteg ti maysa nga ari, ken agturayto dagiti prinsipe nga addaan hustisia.
2 Each [of them] will be like [MET] a shelter from the wind and a (refuge/place to be protected) from the storm. They will be like [SIM] streams of water in the desert, like the shade under a huge rock in a very hot and dry land.
Maiyarigto ti tunggal maysa iti maysa a salaknib manipud iti angin ken maysa a pagkamangan manipud iti bagyo, kas kadagiti karayan iti namaga a disso, kas iti linong ti maysa a dakkel a bato iti natikag a daga.
3 When that happens, [those leaders will enable] people who have not understood [MET] [God’s truth] to understand it, and [they will enable] those who have not paid attention to [MET] [God’s truth] to pay attention to it.
Ket saanto nga agkudrep dagiti mata dagiti makakita, ken dumngegto a nalaing dagiti lapayag dagiti makangngeg.
4 [Even] those who act very hastily will have good sense, and those who cannot speak well will speak fluently and clearly.
Ti darasudos ket agpanunotto a nalaing nga addaan iti pannakaawat, ken ti atel ket nalaka ken nalawagto nga agsao.
5 [At that time], people who are foolish/unwise will no longer be (admired/looked up to), and scoundrels will no longer be respected.
Ti maag ket saanen a maawagan a madaydayaw, ken saanen a maawagan a natakneng ti manangallilaw.
6 Foolish people say things that are foolish, and they plan to do evil things. Their behavior is disgraceful, and they say things about Yahweh that are false. They do not give food to those who are hungry, and they do not give water to those who are thirsty.
Ta ti maag ket agsasao iti minamaag, ken agpangpangep ti pusona iti dakes ken saan a nadiosan nga ar-aramid, ken agsasao isuna iti biddut maibusor kenni Yahweh. Saanna nga ik-ikkan dagiti mabisin, saanna nga ik-ikkan iti danum dagiti mawaw.
7 Scoundrels do things that are evil and that deceive people; they plan to do evil things; by telling lies [in court] they cause poor people to (have trouble/be convicted), even when what the poor [people] are requesting is fair/just.
Dakes dagiti wagas ti manangallilaw. Mangpanpanunot isuna kadagiti nadangkes a panggep tapno dadaelenna dagiti marigrigat babaen iti inuulbod, uray no ibagbaga dagiti marigrigat ti pudno.
8 But honorable people plan to do honorable/good things, and they do the honorable/good things that they plan to do.
Ngem ti tao a mararaem ket nasayaat dagiti panggepna; ket gapu kadagiti nasayaat nga aramidna, agtalinaedto ti kinaprogresona.
9 You women [of Jerusalem] who think that you are very secure/safe and think that everything is going well, listen to [IDM] what I say!
Bumangonkayo, dakayo a babbai a nanam-ay, ken denggenyo ti timekko; dakayo nga awan ti pakadanaganna nga annak a babbai, dumngegkayo kaniak.
10 One year from now, you who now (are not worried about anything/think that everything is going well) will tremble, because there will be no grapes for you to harvest and no [other] crops to harvest.
Ta kalpasan iti makatawen, mariribukankayonto, dakayo a babbai nga awan ti pakadanaganna, ta awanto iti maapityo nga ubas, saanto a dumteng ti panagaapit.
11 [So] tremble [now], you women who are not worried about anything! Take off your [fancy] clothes and put rough sackcloth around your waists.
Agtigergerkayo, dakayo a babbai nga awan iti pakadanaganna; mariribukankayo, dakayo nga awan ti pakadanaganna; ussobenyo dagiti napipintas a pagan-anayyo ket aglabuskayo; agbidangkayo iti nakersang a lupot.
12 Beat/Hit your breasts to show that you are grieving about [what will happen in] your fertile fields and to your fruitful grapevines,
Agdung-awkayonto gapu kadagiti napipintas a taltalon, gapu kadagiti nabunga a puon ti ubas.
13 because [only] thorns and thistles will grow in your soil. Your houses where you had joyful parties and your city where you have been happy will be gone.
Agtubonto dagiti siit ken dagiti mulmula a nasiit iti daga dagiti tattaok, uray dagiti amin a balbalay a sigud a naragsak iti siudad ti ragragsak.
14 The [king’s] palace will be empty; there will be no people in the city that [now] is very noisy. Wild donkeys will walk around and flocks of sheep will eat grass in the empty forts and watchtowers.
Ta mabaybay-anto ti palasio, mapanawanto ti ili nga adu ti taona; ti turod ken ti pagwanawanan ket agbalinto a rukib iti agnanayon, pagragsakan dagiti atap nga asno, pagaraban dagiti arban;
15 [It will be like that] until God pours his Spirit out on us from heaven. [When that happens], the deserts will become fertile fields, and abundant crops will grow in those fertile fields.
agingga a maibukbok kadatayo ti Espiritu nga aggapu iti ngato, ken agbalin a nabunga a talon ti let-ang, ken maibilang a kabakiran ti nabunga a talon.
16 People [PRS] will act/rule justly/fairly in those desert areas, and people will act/rule righteously in those fertile fields.
Kalpasanna, agnaedto ti hustisia iti let-ang; ken agtaengto ti kinalinteg iti nabunga a talon.
17 And the result of their acting righteously will be that there will be peace, the land will be tranquil/quiet, and people will be secure/safe forever.
Ti aramidto ti kinalinteg ket talna; ken ti pagbanagan ti kinalinteg, agnanayon a kinaulimek ken kinatalged.
18 My people will live in their homes peacefully, and safely, and calmly, in places of rest.
Agnaedto dagiti tattaok iti natalna a pagianan, kadagiti natalged a balbalay, ken kadagiti naulimek a paginanaan.
19 [Even if a severe] hailstorm knocks down [the trees in] the forest, and [all the buildings in] the city are blown down,
Ngem uray no agtudo iti yelo ket madadael ti kabakiran, ken madadael a naan-anay ti siudad,
20 Yahweh [will greatly] bless you; you will plant [seeds in fields] alongside the streams [and there will be abundant crops]. Your donkeys and cattle will easily find grass to eat.
mabendisionankayonto nga agmulmula iti igid dagiti amin a waig, dakayo a mangibulbulos kadagiti baka ken asnoyo tapno agarab.
