Isaias 34
Magandang Balita Biblia
Hahatulan ng Diyos ang mga Bansa
34 Lumapit kayo mga bansa, makinig kayo buong bayan!
Halikayo at pakinggan ang aking sasabihin,
kayong lahat na nasa ibabaw ng lupa.
2 Sapagkat si Yahweh ay napopoot sa lahat ng bansa,
matindi ang kanyang galit sa kanilang mga hukbo;
sila'y hinatulan na at itinakdang lipulin.
3 Ang kanilang mga bangkay ay ikakalat;
ito'y mabubulok at aalingasaw sa baho,
at ang mga bundok ay babaha sa dugo.
4 Ang(A) araw, buwan at mga bituin ay malalaglag at madudurog
at ang kalangita'y irorolyong
parang balumbon.
Ang mga bituin ay malalaglag
na parang mga tuyong dahon ng igos na nalalagas.
Ang Pagkawasak ng Edom
5 Si(B) Yahweh ay naghanda ng espada sa kalangitan
upang gamitin laban sa Edom,
sa bayang hinatulan niyang parusahan.
6 Ang espada ni Yahweh ay puno ng dugo at taba;
iyon ay dugo ng mga tupa at kambing,
at taba ng lalaking tupa.
Sapagkat siya'y maghahandog sa Bozra,
marami siyang pupuksain sa Edom.
7 Sila'y mabubuwal na parang maiilap na toro at barakong kalabaw,
matitigmak ng dugo
at mapupuno ng taba ang buong lupain.
8 Sapagkat si Yahweh ay may nakatakdang araw ng paghihiganti,
isang taon ng paghihiganti alang-alang sa Zion.
9 Ang mga batis ng Edom ay magiging alkitran,
at magiging asupre ang kanyang lupa,
ang buong bansa ay masusunog na parang aspalto.
10 Araw-gabi'y(C) hindi ito mamamatay,
at patuloy na papailanlang ang usok;
habang panaho'y hindi ito mapapakinabangan,
at wala nang daraan doon kahit kailan.
11 Ang mananahan dito'y mga kuwago at mga uwak.
Ang lupaing ito'y lubusang wawasakin ni Yahweh,
at iiwang nakatiwangwang magpakailanman.
12 Doo'y wala nang maghahari
at mawawala na rin ang mga pinuno.
13 Tutubuan ng damo ang mga palasyo
at ang mga napapaderang bayan,
ito ay titirhan ng mga asong-gubat
at pamumugaran ng mga ostrits.
14 Ang maiilap na hayop ay sasama sa mga asong-gubat,
tatawagin ng mga tikbalang ang kapwa nila maligno;
doon bababâ ang babaing halimaw upang magpahinga.
15 Ang mga kuwago, doon magpupugad,
mangingitlog, mamimisâ at magpapalaki ng kanilang inakay.
Doon din maninirahan ang mga grupo ng buwitre.
16 Sa aklat ni Yahweh ay hanapin ninyo at basahin:
“Isa man sa kanila'y hindi mawawala,
bawat isa'y mayroong kapareha.”
Sapagkat ito'y utos ni Yahweh,
at siya mismo ang kukupkop sa kanila.
17 Siya na rin ang nagtakda ng kanilang titirhan,
at nagbigay ng kani-kanilang lugar;
doon na sila titira magpakailanman.
Isaiah 34
New American Standard Bible
God’s Wrath against Nations
34 Come near, (A)you nations, to hear; and listen, you peoples!
(B)Let the earth and [a]all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.
2 For the Lord’s (C)anger is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies.
He has [b](D)utterly destroyed them,
He has turned them over to (E)slaughter.
3 So their slain will be (F)thrown out,
And their corpses [c]will give off their (G)stench,
And the mountains will [d]be drenched with their (H)blood.
4 And (I)all the heavenly [e]lights will [f]wear away,
And the (J)sky will be rolled up like a scroll;
All its [g]lights will also wither away
As a leaf withers from the vine,
Or as one withers from the fig tree.
5 For (K)My sword has drunk its fill in heaven;
Behold it shall descend for judgment upon (L)Edom,
And upon the people whom I have (M)designated for destruction.
6 The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For the Lord has a sacrifice in (N)Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of (O)Edom.
7 (P)Wild oxen will also [h]fall with them
And (Q)young bulls with strong ones;
So their land will be (R)soaked with blood,
And their dust [i]become greasy with fat.
8 For the Lord has a day of (S)vengeance,
A year of retribution for the [j]cause of Zion.
9 [k]Its streams will be turned into pitch,
And its loose earth into (T)brimstone,
And its land will become burning pitch.
10 It will (U)not be extinguished night or day;
Its (V)smoke will go up forever.
From (W)generation to generation it will be desolate;
(X)None will pass through it forever and ever.
11 But [l](Y)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And [m]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (Z)line of [n]desolation
And the [o]plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is (AA)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its officials will be (AB)nothing.
13 Thorns will come up in its (AC)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (AD)jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
14 The desert (AE)creatures will meet with the [p]wolves,
The [q](AF)goat also will cry to its kind.
Yes, the [r]night-bird will settle there
And will find herself a resting place.
15 The tree snake will make its nest and lay eggs there,
And it will hatch and gather them under its [s]protection.
Yes, (AG)the [t]hawks will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.
16 Seek from the (AH)book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For [u](AI)His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the (AJ)lot for them,
And His hand has divided it to them by the (AK)measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From (AL)generation to generation they will dwell in it.
