Isaias 28
1 Asi pay ti napalangguad a korona dagiti mammartek ti Efraim, ken ti agkupkupas a sabong ti napintas a dayagna, nga adda iti tengnga ti nabaknang a tanap dagiti nabartek iti arak!
Woe to the crown of arrogance, to the inebriated of Ephraim, and to the falling flower, the glory of his exultation, to those who were at the top of the very fat valley, staggering from wine.
2 Kitaenyo, addaan ti Apo iti nasiglat ken nabileg; kas iti uraro, manangdadael a bagyo, kas iti nadawel ken napegges a danum. Dusaennanto ti daga babaen iti imana.
Behold, the Lord is powerful and steadfast, like a storm of hail, like a crushing whirlwind, like the force of many waters, inundating, sent forth over a spacious land.
3 Maibaddebaddekto ti napalanguad a korona dagiti mammartek ti Efraim.
The arrogant crown of the inebriated of Ephraim will be trampled underfoot.
4 Ti agkupkupas a sabong ti napintas a dayagna, nga adda iti tengnga ti nabaknang a tanap, ket maiyarigto iti umuna a naluom a bunga ti igos sakbay iti panawen ti tikag, a no adda makakita iti daytoy, kabayatan nga adda pay laeng iti imana, kanennan daytoy.
And the falling flower, the glory of his exultation, who is at the summit of the fat valley, will be like a premature fruit before the ripeness of autumn, which, when the onlooker beholds it, as soon he takes it in his hand, he will devour it.
5 Iti dayta nga aldaw, ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin ket kaslanto napintas a korona ken maysa a korona a sabong ti kinapintas para kadagiti nabatbati a tattaona,
In that day, the Lord of hosts will be the crown of glory and the wreath of exultation for the remnant of his people.
6 espiritu ti kinalinteg kenkuana nga agtugtugaw iti pangukoman, ken pigsa para kadagidiay mangpasanud kadagiti kabusorda kadagiti ruanganda.
And he will be the spirit of judgment for those who sit in judgment, and the strength of those who return from war to the gates.
7 Ngem uray dagitoy ket maulaw met gapu iti arak, ken agdiwerdiwerda gapu iti naingel a mainum. Maulaw dagiti papadi ken profeta gapu iti naingel a mainum, ken mabartekda gapu iti arak. Agdiwerdiwerda gapu iti naingel a mainum, nariribuk ti sirmatada ken saanda a makaikeddeng iti umno.
Yet truly, these also have been ignorant due to wine, and they have gone astray due to inebriation. The priest and the prophet have been ignorant because of inebriation. They have been absorbed by wine. They have staggered in drunkenness. They have not known the One who sees. They have been ignorant of judgment.
8 Pudno, amin a lamisaan ket nalapunos iti sarua, isu nga awan iti nadalus a disso.
For all the tables have been filled with vomit and filth, so much so that there was no place left.
9 Siasino ngay ti masapul a pangisuroanna iti pannakaammo, ken siasino ngay ti rumbeng a pangilawlawaganna iti mensahe? Kadagidiay kadi napusot iti panaggatasda wenno dagiti kapuspusot iti panagsusoda?
To whom will he teach knowledge? And to whom will he grant an understanding of what is heard? To those who have been weaned from the milk, who have been pulled away from the breasts.
10 Ta kanayon a bilin ti ibagbagana; agibaga iti maysa a bilin ket agibaga manen iti maysa pay; agibaga iti maysa a linteg ket kalpasanna, agibaga manen iti sabali pay a linteg; bassit ditoy, bassit idiay.
So then: command, and command again; command, and command again; expect, and expect again; a little here, and a little there.
11 Kinapudnona, babaen kadagiti mananguyaw a bibig ken babaen iti pagsasao a ganggannaet, kasaonanto dagitoy a tattao.
For with the speech of lips and with a different language, he will speak to this people.
12 Iti napalabas, kinunana kadakuada, “Daytoy ti inana, paginanaenyo dagiti nabannog; ken daytoy ti makapabang-ar,” ngem saanda met a dumngeg.
He said to them: “This is my rest. Refresh the weary,” and, “This is my refreshment.” And yet they were unwilling to listen.
13 Isu a ti sao ni Yahweh ket maitedto kadakuada, ta kanayon a bilin ti ibagbagana; agibaga iti maysa a bilin ket agibaga manen iti maysa pay; agibaga iti maysa a linteg ket kalpasanna, agibaga manen iti sabali pay a linteg; bassit ditoy, bassit idiay; iti kasta ket mapanda ket matuangda, mapasagda, mapalab-oganda ken matiliwda.
And so, the word of the Lord to them will be: “Command, and command again; command, and command again; expect, and expect again; a little here, and a little there,” so that they may go forward and fall backward, and so that they may be broken and ensnared and captured.
14 Isu a dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a manguy-uyaw, a mangiturturay kadagitoy a tattao iti Jerusalem.
Because of this, listen to the word of the Lord, you mocking men, who lord it over my people who are at Jerusalem.
15 Kinunayo, “Nakitulagkami iti patay; nakitulagkami iti sheol. Isu nga inton lumabas ti nainget a panangukom, saankami a maan-ano, gapu ta pinagbalinmi a sarikedked ti inuulbod, ket iti kinaulbod ti naglemmenganmi.” (Sheol h7585)
For you have said: “We struck a deal with death, and we formed a pact with Hell. When the inundating scourge passes through, it will not overwhelm us. For we have placed our hope in lies, and we are protected by what is false.” (Sheol h7585)
16 Isu a kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh, “Kitaenyo: Mangipatakderakto idiay Sion iti bato a pundasion, maysa a napadasen a bato, maysa a napateg a pasuli a bato, maysa a natalged a pundasion. Siasinoman a mamati ket saanto a mabain.
For this reason, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will set a stone within the foundations of Zion, a tested stone, a cornerstone, a precious stone, which has been established in the foundation: whoever trusts in him need not hurry.
17 Pagbalinekto a pangrukod ti hustisia, ken ti kinalinteg ti aramidek a tinnag. Iyanudto ti uraro dagiti sarikedked nga inuulbod, ket lipusento ti layus ti disso a paglemlemmengan.
And I will establish judgment in weights, and justice in measures. And a hailstorm will overturn hope in what is false; and waters will inundate its protection.
18 Mawaswasto ti katulaganyo iti patay, ket saanto nga agbayag ti pannakitulagyo iti sheol. Inton sumangbay ti napigsa a layus, lipusennakayto. (Sheol h7585)
And your deal with death will be abolished, and your pact with Hell will not stand. When the inundating scourge passes through, you will be trampled down by it. (Sheol h7585)
19 Tunggal lumabas daytoy, lipusennakayonto daytoy, binigatto daytoy a lumabas ket aldaw ken rabii nga umayto daytoy. No naawatan ti mensahe, mangipaay daytoy iti nakaro a panagbuteng.
Whenever it passes through, it will take you away. For, at first light of morning, it will pass through, in the day and in the night, and vexation alone will make you understand what you hear.
20 Ta ababa unay ti pagiddaan a pagunnatan ti maysa a tao, ken ababa unay ti ules a mangbalkot iti bagina.”
For the bed has been narrowed, so much so that one alone would fall out, and the short blanket is not able to cover two.
21 Tumakderto ni Yahweh a kas iti inaramidna idiay Bantay Perazim, tumakderto isuna a kas iti inaramidna idiay tanap ti Gabaon tapno aramidenna ti trabahona, ti naidumduma a trabahona, ken tapno aramidenna ti naidumduma nga aramidna.
For the Lord will stand, just as at the mountain of divisions. He will be angry, just as in the valley which is in Gibeon, so that he may accomplish his work, his strange work, so that he may complete his work, his work which is foreign even to him.
22 Isu nga ita saankayo nga aguyaw, ta no saan mapairutanto dagiti kawaryo. Adda nangngegko a bilin maipanggep iti pannakadidigra ti daga manipud iti Apo, a ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
And now, do not be willing to mock, lest your chains be tightened. For I have heard, from the Lord, the God of hosts, about the consummation and the abridgement concerning the entire earth.
23 Ipangagyo ken dumngegkayo iti timekko; ipangagyo ken dumngegkayo a naimbag kadagiti sasaok.
Pay close attention, and listen to my voice! Attend and hear my eloquence!
24 Agar-arado kadi lattan ti ub-ubraen ti mannalon nga agar-arado iti agmalem tapno agmula koma? Kanayonna kadi lattan nga ar-aradoen ken suysuyuden ti talon?
Would the plowman, after plowing all day so that he may sow, instead cut open and hoe his soil?
25 No naisagananan ti daga, saan kadi nga agiwaras isuna iti bukel ti neguillas, ibunubonna ti kumino, imulana nga agbabatog dagiti trigo, ken ti sebada iti umno a pakaimulaanna ken ti espelta kadagiti pungto ti talon?
Will he not, when he has made the surface level, sow coriander, and scatter cumin, and plant wheat in rows, and barley, and millet, and vetch in their places?
26 Bilbilinen isuna ti Diosna; sursurroanna isuna a nasayaat.
For he will be instructed in judgment; his God will teach him.
27 Maysa pay, saan a maruros ti kumino babaen iti pasagad wenno iti karison a maipatulid iti rabaw ti kumino; ngem ketdi maruros ti neguillas babaen iti ruting, ken maruros ti kumino babaen iti sarukod.
For coriander cannot be threshed with a saw, and a cartwheel cannot revolve over cumin. Instead, coriander is shaken out with a stick, and cumin with a staff.
28 Magiling ti bukel a maaramid a tinapay ngem saan unay a napino ken uray no iwaras daytoy dagiti dalig ti karisonna ken dagiti kabaliona, saan a marumek daytoy dagiti kabaliona.
But grain for bread must be crushed. Truly, the thresher cannot thresh it unceasingly, and the cartwheel can neither disrupt it, nor break it with its surface.
29 Daytoy ket naggapu met kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a naisangsangayan ti bilinna ken naindaklan ti kinasiribna.
And this has gone forth from the Lord, the God of hosts, so that he may accomplish his miraculous plan and magnify justice.
