Kinubkob ang Jerusalem
29 Kawawa ang Jerusalem,
ang lunsod na himpilan ni David!
Hayaang dumaan ang taunang pagdiriwang ng mga kapistahan,
2 at pagkatapos ay wawasakin ko ang lunsod na tinatawag na “altar ng Diyos!”
Maririnig dito ang panaghoy at pagtangis,
ang buong lunsod ay magiging parang altar na tigmak ng dugo.
3 Kukubkubin kita,
at magtatayo ako ng mga kuta sa paligid mo.
4 Dahil dito, ikaw ay daraing mula sa lupa,
maririnig mo ang iyong tinig na nakakapangilabot,
nakakatakot na parang tinig ng isang multo,
at parang bulong mula sa alabok.
5 Ngunit ang lulusob sa iyo ay liliparin na parang abo,
parang ipang tatangayin ng hangin ang nakakatakot nilang hukbo.
6 Si Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ay biglang magpapadala
ng dumadagundong na kulog, lindol,
buhawi, at naglalagablab na apoy upang iligtas ka.
7 Ang lahat ng bansang kumalaban sa Jerusalem,
ang kanilang mga sandata at kagamitan,
ay maglalahong parang isang panaginip, parang isang pangitain sa gabi.
8 Parang isang taong gutom na nanaginip na kumakain,
at nagising na gutom pa rin;
o taong uhaw na nanaginip na umiinom,
ngunit uhaw na uhaw pa rin nang siya'y magising.
Gayon ang sasapitin,
ng lahat ng bansang lumalaban sa Jerusalem.
Bulag at Mapagmalaki ang Israel
9 Magwalang-bahala kayo at mag-asal mangmang,
bulagin ang sarili at nang hindi makakita!
Malasing kayo ngunit hindi sa alak,
sumuray kayo kahit hindi nakainom.
10 Sapagkat(A) pinadalhan kayo ni Yahweh
ng espiritu ng matinding antok;
tinakpan niya ang inyong mga mata, kayong mga propeta,
tinakpan din niya ang inyong mga ulo, kayong mga manghuhula.
11 Ang kahulugan ng lahat ng pangitaing ito ay parang aklat na nakasara. Kung ipababasa mo ito sa taong nakakaunawa, ang sasabihin niya'y, “Ayoko, hindi ko mababasa sapagkat nakasara.” 12 Kung ipababasa mo naman sa hindi marunong bumasa, ito ang isasagot sa iyo, “Hindi ako marunong bumasa.”
13 Sasabihin(B) naman ni Yahweh,
“Sa salita lamang malapit sa akin ang mga taong ito,
at sa bibig lamang nila ako iginagalang,
subalit inilayo nila sa akin ang kanilang puso,
at ayon lamang sa utos ng tao ang kanilang paglilingkod.
14 Kaya(C) muli akong gagawa
ng kababalaghan sa harapan nila,
mga bagay na kahanga-hanga at kataka-taka;
mawawalang-saysay ang karunungan ng kanilang mga matatalino,
at maglalaho ang katalinuhan ng kanilang matatalino.”
Ang Pag-asa sa Hinaharap
15 Kaawa-awa ang mga nagtatago kay Yahweh habang sila'y gumagawa ng mga panukala.
Sila na nagsasabing: “Doon kami sa gitna ng dilim
upang walang makakakilala o makakakita sa amin!”
16 Binabaligtad(D) ninyo ang katotohanan!
Masasabi ba ng palayok sa gumagawa nito,
“Hindi naman ikaw ang humugis sa akin;”
at masasabi ba ng nilikha sa lumikha sa kanya,
“Hindi mo alam ang iyong ginagawa”?
17 Tulad ng kasabihan:
“Hindi magtatagal
at magiging bukirin ang kagubatan ng Lebanon,
at ang bukirin naman ay magiging kagubatan.”
18 Sa araw na iyon maririnig ng bingi
ang pagbasa sa isang kasulatan;
at mula sa kadiliman,
makakakita ang mga bulag.
19 Ang nalulungkot ay muling liligaya sa piling ni Yahweh,
at pupurihin ng mga dukha ang Banal na Diyos ng Israel.
20 Sapagkat mawawala na ang malupit at mapang-api,
gayon din ang lahat ng mahilig sa kasamaan.
21 Lilipulin ni Yahweh ang lahat ng naninirang-puri,
mga sinungaling na saksi
at mga nagkakait ng katarungan sa matuwid.
22 Kaya ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, ang tumubos kay Abraham,
tungkol sa sambahayan ni Jacob:
“Wala nang dapat ikahiya o ikatakot man,
ang bayang ito mula ngayon.
23 Kapag nakita nila ang kanilang mga anak
na ginawa kong dakilang bansa,
makikilala nila na ako ang Banal na Diyos ni Jacob;
igagalang nila ang itinatanging Diyos ni Israel.
24 Magtatamo ng kaunawaan ang mga napapalayo sa katotohanan,
at tatanggap ng pangaral ang mga matitigas ang ulo.”
Isaiah 29
New International Version
Isaiah 29
New International Version
Woe to David’s City
29 Woe(A) to you, Ariel, Ariel,(B)
the city(C) where David settled!
Add year to year
and let your cycle of festivals(D) go on.
2 Yet I will besiege Ariel;(E)
she will mourn and lament,(F)
she will be to me like an altar hearth.[a](G)
3 I will encamp against you on all sides;
I will encircle(H) you with towers
and set up my siege works(I) against you.
4 Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
your speech will mumble(J) out of the dust.(K)
Your voice will come ghostlike(L) from the earth;
out of the dust your speech will whisper.(M)
5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,(N)
the ruthless(O) hordes like blown chaff.(P)
Suddenly,(Q) in an instant,
6 the Lord Almighty will come(R)
with thunder(S) and earthquake(T) and great noise,
with windstorm and tempest(U) and flames of a devouring fire.(V)
7 Then the hordes of all the nations(W) that fight against Ariel,(X)
that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,(Y)
with a vision in the night—
8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
but awakens(Z) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens faint and thirsty still.(AA)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.(AB)
9 Be stunned and amazed,(AC)
blind yourselves and be sightless;(AD)
be drunk,(AE) but not from wine,(AF)
stagger,(AG) but not from beer.
10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:(AH)
He has sealed your eyes(AI) (the prophets);(AJ)
he has covered your heads (the seers).(AK)
11 For you this whole vision(AL) is nothing but words sealed(AM) in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.” 12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
13 The Lord says:
“These people(AN) come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,(AO)
but their hearts are far from me.(AP)
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.[b](AQ)
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;(AR)
the wisdom of the wise(AS) will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.(AT)”
15 Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide(AU) their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us?(AV) Who will know?”(AW)
16 You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!(AX)
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed(AY) it,
“You did not make me”?
Can the pot say to the potter,(AZ)
“You know nothing”?(BA)
17 In a very short time,(BB) will not Lebanon(BC) be turned into a fertile field(BD)
and the fertile field seem like a forest?(BE)
18 In that day(BF) the deaf(BG) will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness(BH)
the eyes of the blind will see.(BI)
19 Once more the humble(BJ) will rejoice in the Lord;
the needy(BK) will rejoice in the Holy One(BL) of Israel.
20 The ruthless(BM) will vanish,(BN)
the mockers(BO) will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil(BP) will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court(BQ)
and with false testimony(BR) deprive the innocent of justice.(BS)
22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed(BT) Abraham,(BU) says to the descendants of Jacob:
“No longer will Jacob be ashamed;(BV)
no longer will their faces grow pale.(BW)
23 When they see among them their children,(BX)
the work of my hands,(BY)
they will keep my name holy;(BZ)
they will acknowledge the holiness of the Holy One(CA) of Jacob,
and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 Those who are wayward(CB) in spirit will gain understanding;(CC)
those who complain will accept instruction.”(CD)
