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 pride of the drunkards of Ephraim [Fruit], and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley of those who are overcome with 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 has a mighty and strong one. Like a storm of hail, a destroying storm, and like a storm of mighty waters overflowing, he will cast them down to the earth with his hand.

3 Maibaddebaddekto ti napalanguad a korona dagiti mammartek ti Efraim.

The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim [Fruit] will be trodden under foot.

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.

The fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fertile valley, shall be like the first-ripe fig before the summer; which someone picks and eats as soon as he sees 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, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] will become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, to the residue of his people;

6 espiritu ti kinalinteg kenkuana nga agtugtugaw iti pangukoman, ken pigsa para kadagidiay mangpasanud kadagiti kabusorda kadagiti ruanganda.

and a spirit of mishpat ·justice· to him who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

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.

They also reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink. The priest and the prophet reel with strong drink. They are swallowed up by wine. They stagger with strong drink. They err in vision. They stumble in judgment.

8 Pudno, amin a lamisaan ket nalapunos iti sarua, isu nga awan iti nadalus a disso.

For all tables are completely full of filthy vomit and filthiness.

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?

Whom will he teach knowledge? To whom will he explain the message? Those who are weaned from the milk, and drawn 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.

For it is precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little.

11 Kinapudnona, babaen kadagiti mananguyaw a bibig ken babaen iti pagsasao a ganggannaet, kasaonanto dagitoy a tattao.

But he will speak to this nation with stammering lips and in another language;

12 Iti napalabas, kinunana kadakuada, “Daytoy ti inana, paginanaenyo dagiti nabannog; ken daytoy ti makapabang-ar,” ngem saanda met a dumngeg.

to whom he said, “This is the resting place. Give rest to weary;” and “This is the refreshing;” yet they would not sh'ma ·hear obey·.

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.

Therefore Adonai’s word will be to them precept on precept, precept on precept; line on line, line on line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, fall backward, be broken, be snared, and be taken.

14 Isu a dumngegkayo iti sao ni Yahweh, dakayo a manguy-uyaw, a mangiturturay kadagitoy a tattao iti Jerusalem.

Therefore sh'ma ·hear obey· Adonai’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem [City of peace]:

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)

“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with death, and with Sheol ·Place of the dead· are we in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’” (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.

Therefore thus says the Lord Adonai, “Behold, I lay in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] for a foundation stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

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.

I will make mishpat ·justice· the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.

18 Mawaswasto ti katulaganyo iti patay, ket saanto nga agbayag ti pannakitulagyo iti sheol. Inton sumangbay ti napigsa a layus, lipusennakayto. (Sheol h7585)

Your covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol ·Place of the dead· shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then 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.

As often as it passes through, it will seize you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be nothing but terror to understand the message.”

20 Ta ababa unay ti pagiddaan a pagunnatan ti maysa a tao, ken ababa unay ti ules a mangbalkot iti bagina.”

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.

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 Adonai will rise up as on Mount Perazim. He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his unusual work, and bring to pass his act, his extraordinary act.

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.

Now therefore don’t be scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· a decree of destruction from the Lord, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], on the whole earth.

23 Ipangagyo ken dumngegkayo iti timekko; ipangagyo ken dumngegkayo a naimbag kadagiti sasaok.

Give ear, and sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice! Listen, and hear my speech!

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?

Does he who plows to sow plow continually? Does he keep turning the soil and breaking the clods?

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?

When he has leveled its surface, does not he plant the dill, and scatter the cumin seed, and put in the wheat in rows, the barley in the appointed place, and the spelt in its place?

26 Bilbilinen isuna ti Diosna; sursurroanna isuna a nasayaat.

For his God instructs him in right judgment, and teaches 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 the dill are not threshed with a sharp instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned over the cumin; but the dill is beaten out with a stick, and the cumin with a rod.

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.

Bread flour must be ground; so he will not always be threshing it. Although he drives the wheel of his threshing cart over it, his horses don’t grind it.

29 Daytoy ket naggapu met kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a naisangsangayan ti bilinna ken naindaklan ti kinasiribna.

This also comes out from Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.
