Isaiah 8
1 Then Yahweh said to me, “Make a large signboard. And write clearly on it, ‘Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz’ [which means ‘quickly (plunder/take by force) and steal everything’].”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Mangalaka iti dakkel a tapi ti bato ket isuratmo ditoy ti 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
2 [So] I requested Uriah the [Supreme] Priest and Jeberekiah’s son Zechariah, men who were both honest/trustworthy witnesses, to watch me as I was doing that.
Mangayabakto kadagiti napudno a tattao a mangpaneknek kaniak, ni Urias a padi, ken ni Zacarias a putot ni Jeberekias.”
3 Then I had sex with [EUP] [my wife, who was] a prophetess, and she became pregnant and [then] gave birth to a son. Then Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (which means ‘suddenly attacked, quickly conquered’),
Napanak iti ayan ti babai a profeta ket nagsikog isuna ken nagpasngay iti maysa a lalaki. Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Panaganam isuna ti 'Maher Shalal Hash Baz.'
4 because before he is old enough to say ‘papa’ or ‘mama’, the King of Assyria will [come with his army and] quickly take away all the valuable things in Damascus and in Samaria.”
Gapu ta sakbay pay a makabalikas ti ubing iti 'Amak' wenno 'Inak,' dagiti amin a kinabaknang ti Damasco ken ti nasamsam iti Samaria ket ipanawto ti ari ti Asiria.”
5 Yahweh spoke to me again and said, “[Tell the people of Judah, ]
Nagsao manen ni Yahweh kaniak,
6 ‘[I have taken good care of] you people, but you have rejected that, [thinking that] my help was very little, like [MET] the little canal through which water flows from the Gihon Spring into Jerusalem. Instead, you have been happy [to request help from] King Rezin and King Pekah.
“Gapu ta pinagkedkedan dagitoy a tattao dagiti nainnayad a danum ti Siloe, ken maragsakanda kenni Rezin ken iti lalaki a putot ni Remalias,
7 Therefore, I will cause the people of Judah to be attacked by [the powerful army of] the King of Assyria, which will be [like] a great flood from the [Euphrates] River. Their soldiers will [be everywhere in your country, like] a river that overflows all its banks.
ngarud, dandanin nga iyeg ti Apo kadakuada dagiti danum iti Karayan, naranggas ken adu, ti ari ti Asiria ken ti amin a dayagna. Umadalemto amin a pagayusanna ken lapunosenna dagiti teppangna,
8 Those soldiers will go all over Judah— [like a river whose water] [MET] rises as high as a person’s neck. Their army will spread over the land [quickly], like an eagle, and they will cover your entire land! But I will be with you!’”
ket agayusto nga agturong iti Juda, manglayusto ken agayusto agingga a madanonna ti tengngedmo. Sakupento ti nakaukrad a payyakna ti entero a dagam, Immanuel.”
9 Listen, all you [people in] distant countries! [You can] prepare to attack Judah. [You can] prepare [for battle, and shout your] war-cries, but your [armies will] be crushed/shattered!
Maburak-burakkayonto, dakayo a tattao. Dumngegkayo, dakayo amin nga adayo a pagillian: Agsaganakayo a makigubat ngem maburak-burakkayonto; agarmaskayo ngem maburak-burakkayonto.
10 [You can] prepare for what you will do [to attack Judah], but what you plan to do will not happen! You will not succeed, because God is with us!
Agpanggepkayo ngem saanto a maipatungpal daytoy; mangipaulogkayo iti bilin ngem saanto a maipatungpal, ta adda kadakami ti Dios.
11 Yahweh strongly warned me [MTY] not to act like the [other] people in Judah did. He said to me,
Nagsao kaniak ni Yahweh, ket kasla la iniggamannak ti napigsa nga imana, ken binallaagannak a saanak a magna iti wagas dagitoy a tattao.
12 “Do not say that everything that people do is conspiring/rebelling [against the government], like [other] people say, and do not (be afraid of/worry about) the things that other people are afraid of.
Saanmo nga ibaga a dakes a panggep dagiti aniaman nga ibagbaga dagitoy a tattao a dakes a panggep, saanmo a pagbutngan dagiti pagbutbutnganda, ket saanka nga agbutbuteng.
13 [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, am the one you should consider to be holy. And I am the one you should fear, the one you should revere.
Ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, dayawem isuna a kas nasantoan, agbutengka kenkuana, isuna ti rumbeng a pagbutngam.
14 I will protect you(sg). [But as for] the [other] people [MTY] in Israel and Judah, I will be [like] [MET] a stone that causes people to stumble, a rock that causes them to fall down. [And as for] the people of Jerusalem, I will be [like] [MET] a trap or a snare [DOU].
Agbalinto isuna a santuario; ngem agbalinto isuna a bato a maitama kadakuada, ken dakkel a bato a pakaitibkolanda—kadagiti dua a balay ti Israel. Ken agbalinto isuna a silo ken palab-og kadagiti tattao ti Jerusalem.
15 Many [people] will stumble and fall down and never get up again. They will experience great troubles; they will be captured [by their enemies].”
Adunto iti maitibkol iti daytoy ket matumbada, marumekrumekda, ken masiluandanto ket matiliwda.
16 [So, I say to you who are my disciples], seal up this scroll on which I have written the messages that God has given to me, and give his instructions to [others] who have accompanied me.
Galutam ti pammaneknekko, selyoam ti kasuratan, ket itedmo kadagiti adalak.
17 I will wait to see what Yahweh [will do]. He has rejected the descendants [MTY] of Jacob, but I will confidently expect him to help me.
Urayek ni Yahweh a nangilinged iti rupana manipud iti balay ni Jacob; urayek isuna.
18 I and the children that Yahweh has given to me are [like] signs to warn [the people of] Israel; we are warnings from the Commander of the armies of angels the one who lives [in his temple] on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem].
Kitaem, siak ken dagiti annak nga inted kaniak ni Yahweh ket maipaay a pagilasinan ken nakaskasdaaw iti Israel manipud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin nga agnanaed iti Bantay Sion.
19 Some people may urge you(pl) to (consult/go and talk with) those who talk with the spirits of dead people or with those who say that they receive messages from those spirits. They whisper and mutter [about what we should do in the future]. But God is [RHQ] the one whom we should ask to guide us! It is ridiculous [RHQ] for people who are alive to request spirits of dead people to tell us [what we should do]!
Ibagadanto kadakayo, “Makiumankayo kadagiti makium-uman kadagiti espiritu ken salamangkero,” dagiti agar-arasaas ken agtaltalamitim. Ngem saan aya a rumbeng koma a makiuman dagiti tattao iti Diosda? Rumbeng kadi a makiumanda kadigiti natay nga agpaay kadagiti sibibiag?
20 Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, [what they say is worthless]. [It is as though] those people are in darkness.
Isu a masapul nga ipangagyo ti linteg ken ti pammaneknek! No saanda nga ibaga dagitti kasta a banbanag, daytoy ket gapu ta awan iti lawag kadakuada.
21 They will wander through the land, worried/discouraged and hungry. And when they become [very] hungry, they will become very angry. They will look up [toward heaven] and curse God and [will also] curse their king.
Lumasatdanto iti daga a napnoan iti riribuk ken panagbisin. Inton agbisinda, makaungetdanto ken ilunoddanto ti ari ken ti Diosda kabayatan iti panagtangadda.
22 They will look around the land and see only trouble/distress and darkness and things that cause them to despair. And [then] they will be thrown into the very black darkness [of hell]. (questioned)
Kumitadanto iti daga ket makitada dagiti pannakariribuk, kinasipnget, ken ti saem ti pannakaidadanes. Maiturongdanto iti daga ti kinasipnget.
