Isaias 1
Magandang Balita Biblia
1 Ang(A) aklat na ito ay naglalaman ng pangitain ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz tungkol sa Juda at sa Jerusalem noong panahon ng paghahari sa Juda nina Uzias, Jotam, Ahaz at Hezekias.
Sumbat sa Bayan ng Diyos
2 Makinig ang kalangitan gayundin ang kalupaan,
sapagkat si Yahweh ay nagsasalita,
“Pinalaki ko't inalagaan ang aking mga anak,
ngunit naghimagsik sila laban sa akin.
3 Nakikilala ng baka ang kanyang panginoon,
at ng asno kung saan siya pinapakain ng kanyang amo;
ngunit hindi ako nakikilala ng Israel,
hindi ako nauunawaan ng aking bayan.”
4 Bansang makasalanan,
mga taong puno ng kasamaan,
mga anak ng masasamang tao,
mga anak ng katiwalian!
Itinakwil ninyo si Yahweh,
nilait ang Banal na Diyos ng Israel
at pagkatapos ay tinalikuran ninyo siya.
5 Bakit patuloy kayong naghihimagsik?
Nais ba ninyong laging pinaparusahan?
Ang isip ninyo'y gulung-gulo,
ang damdamin ninyo'y nanlulumo.
6 Kayo'y punô ng karamdaman mula ulo hanggang paa;
katawan ninyo'y tadtad ng pasa, latay, at dumudugong sugat.
Ang mga ito'y nagnanaknak na at wala pang benda,
at wala man lamang gamot na mailagay.
7 Sinalanta ang inyong bayan,
tupok ang inyong mga lunsod,
sinamsam ng mga dayuhan ang inyong mga lupain,
at winasak ang mga ito sa inyong harapan.
8 Ang Jerusalem lang ang natira,
parang kubong iniwan sa gitna ng ubasan,
parang isang silungan sa gitna ng taniman ng pipino,
parang isang lunsod na kinukubkob ng kalaban.
9 Kung(B) si Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat
ay hindi nagtira ng ilan sa ating lahi,
tayo sana'y natulad sa Sodoma at Gomorra.
10 Mga pinuno ng Israel,
pakinggan ninyo si Yahweh!
Ang inyong mga gawa ay kasinsama
ng sa Sodoma at Gomorra.
Kaya't pakinggan ninyo at pag-aralan
ang katuruan ng Diyos ng ating bayan.
11 “Walang(C) halaga sa akin ang dami ng inyong mga handog.
Sawa na ako sa mga tupang sinusunog
at sa taba ng bakang inyong inihahandog;
hindi ako nalulugod sa dugo ng mga toro,
mga kordero at mga kambing.
12 Sinong nag-utos sa inyo na maghandog sa harap ko?
Huwag na ninyong lapastanganin ang aking templo.
13 Huwag na kayong magdala ng mga handog na walang halaga;
nasusuklam ako sa usok ng insenso.
Nababagot na ako sa inyong mga pagtitipon,
kung Pista ng Bagong Buwan at Araw ng Pamamahinga;
ang mga ito'y walang saysay dahil sa inyong mga kasalanan.
14 “Labis akong nasusuklam
sa inyong pagdiriwang ng Pista ng Bagong Buwan at ng iba pang kapistahan;
sawang-sawa na ako sa mga iyan
at hindi ko na matatagalan.
15 Kapag kayo'y nanalangin sa akin,
hindi ko kayo papansinin;
kahit na kayo'y manalangin nang manalangin,
hindi ko kayo papakinggan
sapagkat marami na ang inyong pinaslang.
16 Linisin ninyo ang inyong sarili at magbalik-loob sa akin;
sa aking harapan, kasamaan ninyo'y inyong tigilan.
17 Pag-aralan ninyong gumawa ng makatuwiran;
pairalin ang katarungan;
tulungan ang naaapi;
ipagtanggol ninyo ang mga ulila,
at tulungan ang mga biyuda.
18 “Halikayo at tayo'y magpaliwanagan,” sabi ni Yahweh.
Gaano man kapula ang inyong mga kasalanan,
kayo'y aking papuputiin, tulad ng yelo o bulak.
19 Kung susundin ninyo ang aking sinasabi,
tatamasahin ninyo ang ani ng inyong lupain.
20 Ngunit kung susuway kayo at maghihimagsik,
tiyak na kayo'y mamamatay.
Ito ang mensahe ni Yahweh.
Ang Makasalanang Lunsod
21 “Ang Jerusalem na dating tapat sa akin,
ngayo'y naging isang masamang babae.
Dati'y puspos siya ng katarungan at katuwiran!
Ngayon nama'y tirahan na ng mga mamamatay-tao.
22 Ang iyong pilak ay naging bato,
nahaluan ng tubig ang iyong alak.
23 Naging suwail ang iyong mga pinuno,
kasabwat sila ng mga magnanakaw;
tumatanggap ng mga suhol at mga regalo;
hindi ipinagtatanggol ang mga ulila;
at walang malasakit sa mga biyuda.”
24 Kaya sinabi ng Panginoong Yahweh, ang Makapangyarihan sa lahat, ang Diyos ng Israel,
“Ibubuhos ko ang aking poot sa aking mga kaaway,
maghihiganti ako sa aking mga kalaban!
25 Paparusahan kita at lilinisin,
gaya ng pilak na pinadadaan sa apoy
at tinutunaw upang dumalisay.
26 Bibigyan kita uli ng mga tagapamahalang tulad noong una,
at ng mga tagapayo gaya noong simula,
pagkatapos ay tatawagin kang Lunsod ng Katuwiran,
ang Lunsod na Matapat.”
27 Maliligtas ang Zion sa pamamagitan ng katarungan,
at kayong nagsisisi at nagbabalik-loob.
28 Mapupuksang lahat ang mga suwail at makasalanan,
malilipol ang mga tumalikod kay Yahweh.
29 Mapapahiya kayo dahil sa mga punongkahoy na inyong sinamba,
at sa mga halamanang itinuring ninyong banal.
30 Makakatulad ninyo'y mga nalalagas na dahon ng puno
at halamanang hindi na nadidilig.
31 Ang malalakas na tao'y matutulad sa mga tuyong kahoy,
mga gawa nila'y madaling magliliyab,
parehong matutupok,
sa apoy na walang makakapigil.
Isaiah 1
GOD’S WORD Translation
1 This is the vision which Isaiah, son of Amoz, saw about Judah and Jerusalem at the time of Kings Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
The Lord Accuses Israel of Sin
2 Listen, heaven, and pay attention, earth!
The Lord has spoken,
“I raised ⌞my⌟ children and helped them grow,
but they have rebelled against me.
3 Oxen know their owners,
and donkeys know where their masters feed them.
But Israel doesn’t know ⌞its owner⌟.
My people don’t understand ⌞who feeds them⌟.
4 “How horrible it will be for a nation that sins.
⌞Its⌟ people are loaded down with guilt.
They are descendants of evildoers
and destructive children.
They have abandoned the Lord.
They have despised the Holy One of Israel.
They have turned their backs on him.
5 “Why do you still want to be beaten?
Why do you continue to rebel?
Your whole head is infected.
Your whole heart is failing.
6 From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head
there is no healthy spot left on your ⌞body⌟—
only bruises, sores, and fresh wounds.
They haven’t been cleansed, bandaged,
or soothed with oil.
7 “Your country is devastated.
Your cities are burned down.
Your fields are destroyed right before your eyes by foreigners.
Your fields are devastated and taken over by foreigners.
8 My people Zion are left like a hut in a vineyard,
like a shack in a cucumber field,
like a city under attack.”
9 If the Lord of Armies hadn’t left us a few survivors,
we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.
Israel’s Corrupt Religion
10 Listen to the Lord’s word, you rulers of Sodom!
Pay attention to the teachings from our God, you people of Gomorrah!
11 The Lord asks, “What do your many animal sacrifices mean to me?
I’ve had enough of your burnt offerings of rams
and enough fat from your fattened calves.
I’m not pleased with the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.
12 When you appear in my presence,
who asked you to trample on my courtyards?
13 Don’t bring any more worthless grain offerings.
Your incense is disgusting to me,
so are your New Moon Festivals, your days of rest—holy days,
and the assemblies you call.
I can’t stand your evil assemblies.
14 I hate your New Moon Festivals and your appointed festivals.
They’ve become a burden to me,
and I’m tired of putting up with them.
15 So when you stretch out your hands ⌞in prayer⌟,
I will turn my eyes away from you.
Even though you offer many prayers,
I will not listen because your hands are covered with blood.
The Lord Invites Israel to Turn Away from Sin
16 “Wash yourselves! Become clean!
Get your evil deeds out of my sight.
Stop doing evil.
17 Learn to do good.
Seek justice.
Arrest oppressors.
Defend orphans.
Plead the case of widows.”
18 “Come on now, let’s discuss this!” says the Lord.
“Though your sins are bright red,
they will become as white as snow.
Though they are dark red,
they will become as white as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the best from the land.
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
you will be destroyed by swords.”
The Lord has spoken.
Jerusalem’s Future
21 How the faithful town has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice,
and righteousness lived in her.
But now murderers live there!
22 Your silver is not pure.
Your wine is watered down.
23 Your rulers are rebels, friends with thieves.
They all love bribes and run after gifts.
They never defend orphans.
They don’t notice the widows’ pleas.
24 That’s why the Lord, the Lord of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says,
“How horrible it will be when I take revenge on my opponents!
I will avenge myself against my enemies.
25 I will turn my power against you.
I will remove your impurities with bleach.
I will get rid of all your impurities.
26 I will give you judges like you had long ago,
advisers like you had in the beginning.
After that you will be called the Righteous City,
the Faithful Town.”
27 Zion will be pardoned by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ justice,
and those who return will be pardoned
by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ righteousness.
28 Rebels and sinners will be crushed at the same time,
and those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
29 You will be ashamed of the oaks that you wanted to worship
and embarrassed by the garden that you have chosen for your gods.
30 You will be like an oak whose leaves wither
and like a garden without water.
31 Strong people will become tinder for a fire,
and their work will be the spark.
Both of them will burn together,
and there will be no one to put out the fire.
Isaiah 1
King James Version
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
