< Isaias 42 >

1 Adtoy, ti adipenko, ti pabpabilegek; ti pinilik, isuna a pakaragsakak. Inkabilko ti Espirituk kenkuana; iyegnanto ti kinalinteg kadagiti nasion.
“Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights: I have put my Spirit on him. He will bring justice to the nations.
2 Saanto isuna nga agikkis wenno agpukkaw, wenno ipangngeg ti timekna kadagiti kalkalsada.
He will not shout, nor raise his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 Saanna a tukkolen ti naparpar a runo, ken ti nakudrep a pabilo ket saannanto nga iddepen; sipupudnonto nga ipatungpalna ti kinalinteg.
He will not break a bruised reed. He will not quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.
4 Saanto isuna a kumapsut wenno maupay agingga a naipasdeknan ti kinalinteg iti rabaw ti daga; ket aguray iti lintegna dagiti daga iti igid ti baybay.
He will not fail nor be discouraged, until he has set justice in the earth, and the islands wait for his law.”
5 Daytoy ti ibagbaga ti Dios a ni Yahweh, isuna a namarsua kadagiti langit ken nangukrad kadagitoy; isuna a nangukrad iti lubong ken mangmangted iti biag iti daytoy; isuna a mangmangted iti anges kadagiti tattao iti daytoy, ken biag kadagiti agnanaed iti daytoy;
God the LORD, he who created the heavens and stretched them out, he who spread out the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to its people and spirit to those who walk in it, says:
6 “Siak a ni Yahweh, inayabanka iti kinalinteg ket kibinenkanto. Aywanankanto ken isaadkanto a kas katulagan kadagiti tattao, a kas lawag kadagiti Hentil,
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness. I will hold your hand. I will keep you, and make you a covenant for the people, as a light for the nations,
7 tapno luktam dagiti mata dagiti bulag, tapno wayawayaam dagiti balud manipud iti nasipnget a pagbaludan, ken dagiti agtugtugaw iti nasipnget iti balay a pagbaludan.
to open the blind eyes, to bring the prisoners out of the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison.
8 Siak ni Yahweh, dayta ti naganko; ket saanko nga ibingay ti dayagko iti dadduma wenno ti dayawko kadagiti kinitikitan a didiosen.
“I am the LORD. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.
9 Kitaenyo, napasamaken dagiti immuna a banbanag, ita, ipakaammokon dagiti baro a mapasamak. Sakbay a mangrugi a mapasamak dagitoy, ibagakon kadakayo ti maipapan kadagitoy.”
Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”
10 Kantaanyo ni Yahweh iti baro a kanta, ken pagdayawna kenkuana manipud iti pungto ti daga; dakayo a sumalsalog iti baybay, ken amin nga adda iti daytoy, dagiti daga iti igid ti baybay ken dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy.
Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands and their inhabitants.
11 Agikkis koma ti disierto ken dagiti siudad, agpukkaw koma gapu iti rag-o dagiti rehion iti Kedar! Agkanta koma dagiti agnanaed iti Sela; agpukkawda koma manipud kadagiti tapaw ti bantay.
Let the wilderness and its cities raise their voices, with the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains!
12 Idaydayawda koma ni Yahweh ken ipakaammoda ti dayawna kadagiti daga iti igid ti baybay.
Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Rummuarto ni Yahweh a kas maysa a mannakigubat; mapanto isuna a kas maysa a mannakigubat. Ipakitananto ti pungtotna. Agpukkawto isuna, wen, agpukkawto isuna iti pukkaw ti gubat; ipakitananto kadagiti kabusorna ti pannakabalinna.
The LORD will go out like a mighty man. He will stir up zeal like a man of war. He will raise a war cry. Yes, he will shout aloud. He will triumph over his enemies.
14 Nabayag a panawen a nagulimekak; nagtatalnaak ken ginawidak ti bagik; ita, agikkisak a kas iti babai nga agpaspasikal; agangsabak ken agal-alak.
“I have been silent a long time. I have been quiet and restrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will both gasp and pant.
15 Rebbaekto dagiti banbantay ken dagiti turturod ket pagangoekto dagiti mulmulada; pagbalinekto nga isla dagiti karayan ken pagmagaekto dagiti dan-aw.
I will destroy mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Iyegkonto dagiti bulsek babaen iti dalan a saanda nga ammo; idalankonto ida kadagiti dalan a saanda nga ammo. Pagbalinekto a lawag ti kinasipnget iti sangoananda, ken pagbalinekto a nalinteg dagiti nakillo a disso. Dagitoy dagiti banbanag nga aramidekto ket saankonto ida a panawan.
I will bring the blind by a way that they do not know. I will lead them in paths that they do not know. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things, and I will not forsake them.
17 Mailaksiddanto, maibabaindanto a naan-anay, isuda nga agtaltalek kadagiti kinitikitan nga imahe, a mangibagbaga kadagiti nakitikatan nga imahe, “Dakayo dagiti diosmi.”
“Those who trust in engraved images, who tell molten images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be turned back. They will be utterly disappointed.
18 Denggenyo, dakayo a tuleng; ken kitaenyo dakayo a bulag tapno makitayo.
“Hear, you deaf, and look, you blind, that you may see.
19 Siasino ti bulag, no saan a ti adipenko? Wenno tuleng a kas iti mensahero nga imbaonko? Adda kadi bulag a kas iti nakitulagak, wenno bulag a kas iti adipen ni Yahweh?
Who is blind, but my servant? Or who is as deaf as my messenger whom I send? Who is as blind as he who is at peace, and as blind as the LORD’s servant?
20 Adu dagiti banbanag a makitkitayo ngem saanyo a maawatan; nakalukat dagiti lapayag ngem awan ti dumdumngeg.
You see many things, but do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not listen.
21 Makaay-ayo kenni Yahweh a dayawen ti kinalintegna ken itan-ok ti lintegna.
It pleased the LORD, for his righteousness’ sake, to magnify the law and make it honorable.
22 Ngem dagitoy a tattao ket natakawan ken nasamsaman; naipalab-ogda amin kadagiti ab-abut, naipupokda kadagiti pagbaludan; nasamsamda nga awan ti siasinoman a mangispal kadakuada, ken awan ti siasinoman a nagkuna, “Isubliyo ida!”
But this is a robbed and plundered people. All of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prisons. They have become captives, and no one delivers, and a plunder, and no one says, ‘Restore them!’
23 Siasino kadakayo ti mangipangagto iti daytoy? Siasinonto ti mangipangag ken mangdengngeg iti masakbayan?
Who is there among you who will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 Siasino ti nangiyawat kenni Jacob kadagiti mannanakaw, ken ti Israel kadagiti tulisan? Saan aya a ni Yahweh, a nagbasolantayo, nga akin-wagas iti nagkedkedanda nga aramiden, ken akin-linteg iti nagkedkedanda a pagtulnogan?
Who gave Jacob as plunder, and Israel to the robbers? Did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in his ways, and they disobeyed his law.
25 Isu nga imparukpokna ti nakaro a pungtotna maibusor kadakuada, nga addaan iti pannakadadael babaen iti gubat. Simged daytoy iti aglawlawda ngem saanda a naamiris daytoy; inuramna ida ngem saanda a pinagan-ano.
Therefore he poured the fierceness of his anger on him, and the strength of battle. It set him on fire all around, but he did not know. It burned him, but he did not take it to heart.”
