Isaias 24
1 Kitaem, pukawento ni Yahweh ti linaon ti daga, dadaelennanto daytoy, gusogusoennanto ti rabaw daytoy, ken warawaraenna dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy.
Some day, Yahweh is going to destroy everything on the earth. He will devastate it and cause it to become a desert and scatter its people.
2 Mapasamakto a no ania ti mapasamak iti tattao, ket kasta met iti padi; no kasano iti adipen, ket kasta met iti amongna; no kasano ti tagabo a babai ket kasta met iti amongna a babai; no kasano iti gumatgatang, kasta met iti aglaklako; no kasano iti agpapautang, kasta met iti umut-utang; no kasano iti umaw-awat iti porsiento ti kuarta, ket kasta met iti mangmangted iti porsiento ti kuarta.
He will scatter everyone— priests and common people, servants and their masters, maids and their mistresses, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, people who owe money and people who are owed money.
3 Madadaelto a naan-anay ti daga ket mapukawto a maminpinsan dagiti amin a banag nga adda iti daytoy; ta imbaga ni Yahweh daytoy a sao.
Nothing that is worth anything will be left on earth; everything valuable will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said it.
4 Agmaga ti daga ken agtikag, agangrag ken mapukaw ti lubong, agkapuyto dagiti mabigbigbig a tattao ti daga.
[Everything on] the earth will dry up and die [DOU]; its important people will become weak and unimportant.
5 Ti daga ket rinugitan dagiti agbibiag iti daytoy gapu ta sinukirda dagiti linteg, sinalungasingda dagiti bilbilin, ken linabsingda ti agnanayon a katulagan.
The earth has become unacceptable to Yahweh because the people who live on it have disobeyed his laws; they have rejected the agreement that he intended to last forever.
6 Ngarud, mailunod ti ti daga, ken naduktalan a nagbasol dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy. Mauram dagiti agnanaed iti daga, ket manmano a tattao ti nabati.
Therefore, [Yahweh] will curse the earth; the people who live on it must be punished because of the sins that they have committed. They will be destroyed by fire, and [only a] few people will remain [alive].
7 Agmaga ti baro nga arak, magango ti lanut ti ubas, agasogto dagiti amin nga addaan ragsak iti puso.
The grapevines will wither, and there will be no [grapes to make] wine. All [the people] who were previously happy will then groan and mourn.
8 Sumardeng ti naragsak nga uni dagiti pandereta, ken dagiti ariwawa dagiti agragragsak; sumardeng ti rag-o ti lira.
People will no longer play cheerful songs with tambourines, people will no longer play joyfully on their harps, and people will no longer shout noisily [during their celebrations].
9 Saandanton nga uminom iti arak ken saandanton nga agkanta, ket napaitton ti arak kadagiti uminom iti daytoy.
People will no longer sing while they drink wine, and [all] their alcoholic drinks will taste bitter.
10 Nadadaelen ti siudad a napnoan iti riribuk; naiserra ken awanen ti nagian ti tunggal balay.
[Towns and] cities will be desolate; every house will be locked to prevent thieves from entering.
11 Adda panagsangsangit kadagiti kalsada gapu iti arak; simmipnget amin a rag-o, napukaw ti kinaragsak ti daga.
[Mobs] will gather in the streets, wanting wine; no one on the earth will be happy [DOU] any more.
12 Iti siudad ket pasig a pannakadadael ti adda, ken ti ruangan ket narakrak.
Cities will be ruined and [all] their gates will be battered/broken into pieces.
13 Ta kastoyto ti mapasamak kadagiti nasion iti entero a daga, kaslanto iti mapasamak no kasta a magunggon ti kayo nga olibo, kas iti mapasamak no kasta a malpasen ti panagaapit iti ubas.
It will be like that all over the earth: [there will only be a few people still alive], like what happens when [workers] beat all the olives off a tree [and there are only a few left], [or] when they harvest the grapes and there are only a few left [on the vines].
14 Ipigsadanto dagiti timekda ket ipukkawda ti kinatan-ok ni Yahweh, ken sirarag-oda nga agpukkaw manipud iti taaw.
But [those who are left alive] will sing joyfully; people [in nations] to the west [of Israel] will declare that Yahweh is very great;
15 Ngarud, iti daya, idayawyo ni Yahweh, ken kadagiti isla ti taaw, idayawyo ti nagan ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
people in nations to the east [of Israel will also] praise Yahweh [MTY]; in countries across the sea, people will praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship].
16 Manipud iti kaadayoan a paset ti daga, nakanggegkami kadagiti kankanta, “Dayaw ti maipaay iti nalinteg!” Ngem kinunak, “Kimmapuyakon, kimmapuyakon, asiak pay! Kasta unay ti panangliput dagiti mangliliput; wen, kasta unay ti panangliput dagiti mangliliput.”
We will hear [people] in the most distant places on the earth singing praise to [Yahweh], the [truly] righteous one. But [now], I am [SYN] very sad. Weep for me, [because] I have become thin and weak. Terrible things are happening! Treacherous [people still] betray/deceive others everywhere [DOU].
17 Dumtengto kadakayo nga agnanaed ditoy daga ti panagbuteng, ti abut ken ti palab-og.
You people all over the earth, you will be terrified, and you will fall into deep pits and traps/snares.
18 Siasinoman a tumaray manipud iti uni ti nakabutbuteng ket matnag iti abut, ket siasinoman a rummuar manipud iti tengnga ti abut ket matiliwto iti palab-og. Aglukatto dagiti tawa ti langit, ken aggungonto dagiti pundasion ti daga.
Those who [try to] flee because they are terrified will fall into [deep] pits, and those who climb out of the pits will be caught by traps/snares. The sky will split open and torrents [SIM] [of rain will fall]; the foundations of the earth will shake.
19 Maminpinsanto a madadael ti daga, agguddua ti daga; aggunggonto ti kasta unay ti daga.
The earth will split apart and be shattered; it will shake violently.
20 Agdiwerdiwerto ti daga a kasla iti nabartek ken agpallapallayogto a kasla indayon. Ti nagbasolanna ket nadagsento iti daytoy, ket matumbanto ket saanton a makabangon pay.
[It will be as though] the earth will stagger like [SIM] a drunk; it will shake like [SIM] a hut [shakes in a windstorm]. It will collapse and not [be able to] rise again, [because] the guilt of the people who rebel [against Yahweh] is very great.
21 Mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw a dusaen ni Yahweh dagiti dakes nga espiritu, ken dagiti ar-ari iti rabaw ti daga.
At that time, Yahweh will punish the [wicked] powerful beings in the skies and the wicked kings on the earth.
22 Maummongdanto, maipupokdanto iti abut, ken maipupokdanto iti pagbaludan; ket kalpasan iti adu nga al-aldaw madusadanto.
They will [all] be gathered together and thrown into a dungeon/pit. They will be shut/locked in that dungeon/pit, and later they will be punished.
23 Ket mabainto ti bulan, ken maawananto iti dayaw ti init, ta agarinto ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin idiay Bantay Sion, idiay Jerusalem ken iti sangoanan dagiti panglakayenna.
At that time the light of the moon and the sun will be lessened; [it will be as though] they are ashamed [in the presence of] Yahweh, because he, the Commander of the armies of angels, will rule gloriously (on Zion Hill/in Jerusalem), in the presence of the leaders [of his people].
