< Isaias 9 >

1 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.
But there shall be no more gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time, he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali; but in the latter time he has made it glorious, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 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.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. The light has shined on those who lived in the land of the shadow of death.
3 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.
You have multiplied the nation. You have increased their joy. They rejoice before you according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
4 Ta ti sangol ti dadagsenna, ti biga nga adda iti abagana, ti sarukod ti mangidaddadanes kenkuana, tinukkolmo a kas iti aldaw dagiti taga-Midia.
For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.
5 Ta tunggal botas a mangbadbaddek iti pagrarangetan ken dagiti kawes a nadaraan ket mapuoranto, maisungrodto iti apuy.
For all the armour of the armed man in the noisy battle, and the garments rolled in blood, will be for burning, fuel for the fire.
6 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.
For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 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.
Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.
8 Nangipatulod ni Apo iti sao a maibusor kenni Jacob, ket natnag daytoy iti Israel.
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it falls on Israel.
9 Maammoanto dagiti amin a tattao, uray ti Efraim ken dagiti agnanaed iti Samaria, nga agkunkuna a sipapalangguad ken addaan napasindayaw a puso,
All the people will know, including Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and in arrogance of heart,
10 “Nadadaelen dagiti ladrilyo ngem ibangonminto manen babaen iti natikapan a bato; napukanen dagiti sikamoro ngem sukatanminto dagitoy kadagiti sedro.”
“The bricks have fallen, but we will build with cut stone. The sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
11 Ngarud, tumakderto ni Yahweh a maibusor kenkuana, ni Rezin a kabusorna, ket tignayennanto dagiti kabusorna,
Therefore the LORD will set up on high against him the adversaries of Rezin, and will stir up his enemies,
12 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.
The Syrians in front, and the Philistines behind; and they will devour Israel with open mouth. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 Ngem saanto latta nga agsubli dagiti tattao kenkuana a nangkabil kadakuada wenno saanda a biruken ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.
Yet the people have not turned to him who struck them, neither have they sought the LORD of Armies.
14 Putdento ngarud ni Yahweh ti ulo ken ti ipus ti Israel, sanga ti palma ken runo, iti maysa nga aldaw.
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
15 Ti pangulo ken ti natakneng a lalaki ket isuda dagiti ulo; ken ti profeta nga agisursuro iti inuulbod ket ti ipus.
The elder and the honourable man is the head, and the prophet who teaches lies is the tail.
16 Dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao ket iyaw-awanda ida ken naalun-on dagiti indauloanda a tattao.
For those who lead this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 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.
Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men, neither will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is profane and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 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.
For wickedness burns like a fire. It devours the briers and thorns; yes, it kindles in the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.
19 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.
Through the LORD of Armies’ wrath, the land is burnt up; and the people are the fuel for the fire. No one spares his brother.
20 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.
One will devour on the right hand, and be hungry; and he will eat on the left hand, and they will not be satisfied. Everyone will eat the flesh of his own arm:
21 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.
Manasseh eating Ephraim and Ephraim eating Manasseh, and they together will be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
