The Redemption of Israel

27 In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong (A)sword will punish (B)Leviathan the fleeing serpent, (C)Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay (D)the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day,
(E)“A pleasant vineyard,[a] (F)sing of it!
    I, the Lord, am its keeper;
    every moment I water it.
    Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;
    I have no wrath.
(G)Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!
    I would march against them,
    I would burn them up together.
Or let them lay hold of my protection,
    let them make peace with me,
    let them make peace with me.”

(H)In days to come[b] Jacob shall take root,
    Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots
    and fill the whole world with fruit.

(I)Has he struck them (J)as he struck those who struck them?
    Or have they been slain (K)as their slayers were slain?
(L)Measure by measure,[c] by exile you contended with them;
    (M)he removed them with his fierce breath[d] in the day of the east wind.
Therefore by this (N)the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:[e]
(O)when he makes all the stones of the altars
    like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
    no (P)Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.
10 (Q)For the fortified city is solitary,
    a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
    there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
    women come and make a fire of them.
(R)For this is a people without discernment;
    therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
    he who formed them will show them no favor.

12 In that day (S)from the river Euphrates[f] to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. 13 And in that day (T)a great trumpet will be blown, (U)and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt (V)will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

27 Sa araw na yaon ay parurusahan ng Panginoon, ng kaniyang matigas at malaki at matibay na tabak ang leviatan na maliksing ahas, at ang leviatan na lumilikaw na ahas, at kaniyang papatayin ang buwaya na nasa dagat.

Sa araw na yaon: Awitin ninyo sa kaniya ang tungkol sa isang ubasang pinagkunan ng alak.

Akong Panginoon ang nagiingat; aking didiligin tuwituwina: baka saktan ng sinoman, aking iingatan gabi't araw.

Kagalitan ay hindi sumasa akin: kung makipagbaka sana ang mga dawag at mga tinik laban sa akin! akin yaong yayapakan, aking susunuging magkakasama.

O manghawak sana siya sa aking lakas, upang siya'y makipagpayapaan sa akin; oo, makipagpayapaan siya sa akin.

Sa mga araw na darating ay maguugat ang Jacob; ang Israel ay mamumulaklak at magbubuko: at pupunuin nila ng bunga ang ibabaw ng sanglibutan.

Sinaktan baga niya siya na gaya ng pagsakit niya sa mga yaon, na nanakit sa kaniya? o pinatay siya ng ayon sa pagpatay nila, na napatay niya?

Sa sukat, pagka iyong pinayayaon siya, ikaw ay nakikipagtalo sa kaniya; kaniyang binago siya ng kaniyang pagispis na hihip sa kaarawan ng silanganang hangin.

Kaya't sa pamamagitan nito ay malilinis ang kasamaan ng Jacob, at ito ang buong bunga ng pagaalis ng kaniyang kasalanan: pagka kaniyang ginagawa ang mga bato ng dambana na gaya ng mga malambot na batong naluluray upang ang mga Asera at ang mga Iarawang araw ay hindi na matatayo.

10 Sapagka't ang bayang nakukutaan ay nagiisa, isang tahanang pinabayaan at iniwanan gaya ng ilang: doon manginginain ang guya, at doon hihiga, at kakainin ang mga sanga niyaon.

11 Pagka ang mga sanga niyaon ay nangatuyo, babaliin; paroroonan ng mga babae at igagatong sa apoy: sapagka't bayan na walang unawa; kaya't ang gumawa sa kanila ay hindi magdadalang habag sa kanila, at ang naganyo sa kanila ay hindi magpapakita sa kanila ng lingap.

12 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na lalagasin ng Panginoon ang bunga niyaon mula sa agos ng ilog hanggang sa batis ng Egipto, at kayo'y mapipisang isa isa, Oh kayong mga anak ni Israel.

13 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ang malaking pakakak ay hihipan; at silang nangapapahamak sa lupain ng Asiria ay magsisiparito, at silang mga tapon sa lupain ng Egipto; at sila'y magsisisamba sa Panginoon sa banal na bundok ng Jerusalem.

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
