Isaiah 9
1 However, those in Judah who have been distressed/worried will not [continue to] suffer. Previously, Yahweh humbled [the people in] the land [where the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali [live]. But in the future he will honor [the people who live in] that Galilee region, along the road between the Jordan [River] and the [Mediterranean] Sea, where [many] foreigners live.
Maikkatto ti saem nga adda kenkuana nga agsagsagaba. Iti naglabas a tiempo, pinabainanna ti daga ti Zabulun ken ti daga ti Naftali, ngem iti masangoanan a tiempo, pagbalinennanto daytoy a nadayag, ti dalan a mapan iti baybay, iti ballasiw ti Karayan Jordan, Galilea dagiti nasion.
2 [Some day, it will be as though] [MET] the people who walked in darkness will see a great light. A [great] light will shine on those who live in a land where they have great troubles/distress.
Dagiti tattao nga agbibiag iti kinasipnget ket nakakita iti naindaklan a lawag; dagiti nagnanaed idi iti daga ti aniniwan ni patay, rinanniagan ida ti lawag.
3 [Yahweh], you will cause us people in Israel to rejoice; we will become very happy. We will rejoice about what you [have done] like [SIM] people rejoice when they harvest their crops, [or] like soldiers rejoice when they divide up among themselves the things that they have captured in a battle.
Pinaadumon ti nasion, ad-adda pay a pinarag-om ida; agragragsakda iti sangoanam a kas karagsak iti tiempo ti panagapit, a kas iti panagrag-o dagiti tattao no bingayenda dagiti sinamsamda.
4 You will cause us to no longer be slaves [MET] [of those who captured us]; you will lift the heavy burdens from our shoulders. [It will be as though] you will break the rods of those who oppressed us, like you did when you destroyed [the army of] the Midian people-group.
Ta ti sangol ti dadagsenna, ti biga nga adda iti abagana, ti sarukod ti mangidaddadanes kenkuana, tinukkolmo a kas iti aldaw dagiti taga-Midia.
5 The boots that the enemy soldiers have worn and their clothing which has stains of blood on them will all be burned up; they will only be fuel for a [big] fire.
Ta tunggal botas a mangbadbaddek iti pagrarangetan ken dagiti kawes a nadaraan ket mapuoranto, maisungrodto iti apuy.
6 Another reason that we will rejoice is that a [special] child will be born for us; [a woman will give birth to] a son, who will be our ruler. And his names will be ‘Wonderful Counselor’, ‘Mighty/Powerful God’, ‘[Our] Everlasting Father’, and ‘Prince/Ruler [who enables us to have] Peace’.
Ta naipasngay kadatayo ti maysa nga ubing, naited kadatayo ti maysa nga anak a lalaki; ket maipabaklayto kenkuana ti panagturay; ken mapanagananto isuna iti Nakaskasdaaw a Mammagbaga, Mannakabalin a Dios, Agnanayon nga Ama, Prinsipe ti Kappia.
7 His rule, and the peace that he [brings/causes], will never end. He will rule [MTY] fairly and justly [DOU], like [his ancestor King] David did. This will happen because the Commander of the armies of angels greatly desires that it happen.
Awanto iti panagpatingga iti panagdur-as ti panagturayna ken iti kappia, iti panagturayna iti trono ni David ken iti pagarianna, tapno ibangonna daytoy ken pagtalinaedenna daytoy babaen iti hustisia ken kinalinteg manipud iti daytoy a tiempo ken iti agnanayon. Aramidento daytoy ti kinaregta ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
8 The Lord has warned the people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob; he has said that [he will punish] them.
Nangipatulod ni Apo iti sao a maibusor kenni Jacob, ket natnag daytoy iti Israel.
9 And all the people in Samaria and [other places in] Israel know that, [but] they are very proud and arrogant [DOU]. They say, “Our city has been destroyed, but we will [take away the broken bricks from the ruins] [and] replace them with carefully cut stones. Our sycamore-fig trees have been cut down [by our enemies], but we will plant cedar trees [in their place].”
Maammoanto dagiti amin a tattao, uray ti Efraim ken dagiti agnanaed iti Samaria, nga agkunkuna a sipapalangguad ken addaan napasindayaw a puso,
“Nadadaelen dagiti ladrilyo ngem ibangonminto manen babaen iti natikapan a bato; napukanen dagiti sikamoro ngem sukatanminto dagitoy kadagiti sedro.”
11 But Yahweh brought the armies of [Assyria], the enemies of King Rezin [of Syria, to fight] against Israel and incited [other] nations [to attack Israel].
Ngarud, tumakderto ni Yahweh a maibusor kenkuana, ni Rezin a kabusorna, ket tignayennanto dagiti kabusorna,
12 [The army of] Syria [came] from the east, and [the army of] Philistia [came] from the west, and they destroyed Israel [like a wild animal tears another animal apart and] [MET] devours it. But even after that happened, Yahweh was still very angry with them. He was ready to strike them with his fist again.
dagiti Arameo iti daya ken dagiti Filisteo iti laud. Nakangangadanto a mangalun-on iti Israel. Ta gapu iti pungtotna, saanto nga agsardeng ni Yahweh ngem nakalayatto latta ti imana tapno mangdusa.
13 [But even though] Yahweh punished his people [like that], they [still] did not return to him [and worship him]. They [still] did not request the Commander of the armies of angels [to assist them].
Ngem saanto latta nga agsubli dagiti tattao kenkuana a nangkabil kadakuada wenno saanda a biruken ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
14 Therefore, in one day Yahweh will get rid of [those who are like] Israel’s head and [those who are like] its tail; the [ones who are like] the top of the palm tree and the [ones who are like] the bottom.
Putdento ngarud ni Yahweh ti ulo ken ti ipus ti Israel, sanga ti palma ken runo, iti maysa nga aldaw.
15 The leaders [DOU] of Israel are the head, and the prophets who tell lies are the tail.
Ti pangulo ken ti natakneng a lalaki ket isuda dagiti ulo; ken ti profeta nga agisursuro iti inuulbod ket ti ipus.
16 The leaders of the people have misled them; they have caused the people that they are ruling to be confused.
Dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao ket iyaw-awanda ida ken naalun-on dagiti indauloanda a tattao.
17 For that reason, Yahweh is not pleased with the young men [of Israel], and he does not [even] act mercifully toward the widows and orphans, because they are all ungodly and wicked, and they all say things that are foolish. [But] Yahweh still is angry with them; he is ready to strike them with his fist again.
Saanto ngarud a maragsakan ti Apo kadagiti agtutuboda, kasta met a saanna a kaasian dagiti ulila iti ama ken dagiti balo, agsipud ta awan dios ti tunggal maysa ken agar-aramidda iti dakes, ken agsasao kadagiti minamaag ti tunggal bibig. Ngem gapu amin kadagitoy, saan nga maawan ti pungtot ni Yahweh ket nakalayatto latta ti imana a mangdusa.
18 When people do wicked things, it is like [SIM] a brushfire [that spreads rapidly]. It burns up [not only] briers and thorns; it starts a big fire in the forests from which clouds of smoke will rise.
Mangur-uram ti kinadangkes a kas iti apuy; uramenna dagiti siit ken sisiitan a ruot; uramenna pay ti napuskol a kabakiran nga uray la umasimbuyok a napuskol nga asok.
19 [It is as though] the [whole] land is burned [black] because the Commander of the armies of angels is extremely angry with the Israeli people. They will become like [SIM] fuel for that great fire, and no one will try to rescue even his [own] brother [from that fire].
Gapu iti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, mauram ti daga, ket kasla sungrod iti apuy dagiti tattao. Awan iti tao a mangispal iti kabsatna.
20 Israeli people will attack their neighbors on the right [to get food from them], but they will still be hungry. They will [kill those who live in houses] on the left and eat their flesh, but their stomachs will still not be full.
Mangiwadanto iti karne kadagiti kannawan nga imada ngem mabisindanto latta; kanendanto ti karne ti kannigid nga imada ngem saandanto a mapnek. Kanento pay ti tunggal maysa ti lasag ti takyagna.
21 [People of the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim will attack each other, and [then] they will both attack the people of Judah. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with them. He will be ready to strike them with his fist again.
Alun-onento ti Manases ti Efraim, ket alun-onento met ti Efraim ti Manases; ket agkaduadanto a mangraut iti Juda. Laksidto amin kadagitoy, saanto nga agbaaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh, ngem nakalayatto latta ti imana tapno mangdusa.
