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)

Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang pagkabulag at pagpapaimbabaw ay tinuligsa.
29 Hoy (A)Ariel, Ariel, na (B)bayang hinantungan ni David! magdagdag kayo ng taon sa taon; magdiwang sila ng mga kapistahan:
2 Akin ngang pahihirapan ang Ariel, at magsisitangis at mananaghoy: at siya'y magiging gaya ng Ariel sa akin.
3 At ako'y magtatayo ng kampamento laban sa iyo sa palibot, at kukubkubin kita ng mga kuta, at ako'y magbabangon ng mga pangkubkob laban sa iyo.
4 At ikaw ay mabababa, at magsasalita mula sa lupa, at ang iyong salita ay magiging mababa na mula sa alabok: at ang iyong tinig ay magiging gaya ng isang nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, mula sa lupa, at (C)ang iyong pananalita ay bubulong mula sa alabok.
5 Nguni't ang karamihan ng iyong mga (D)kaaway ay magiging gaya ng munting alabok, at ang karamihan ng mga kakilakilabot ay (E)gaya ng ipang inililipad ng hangin: oo, magiging sa (F)biglang sandali.
6 Siya'y dadalawin ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa pamamagitan ng kulog, at ng lindol, at ng malaking kaingay, ng ipoipo at bagyo, at ng liyab ng mamumugnaw na apoy.
7 At (G)ang karamihan ng lahat na bansa na nagsisilaban sa Ariel, lahat na nagsisilaban sa kaniya at sa kaniyang kuta, at ang nagpapahirap sa kaniya, ay magiging (H)gaya ng panaginip na isang pangitain sa gabi.
8 At (I)mangyayari, na gaya ng kung ang isang gutom ay nananaginip, at, narito, siya'y kumakain; nguni't siya'y nagigising, at ang kaniyang kaluluwa ay walang anoman: o gaya ng kung ang isang uhaw ay nananaginip, at, narito, siya'y umiinom; nguni't siya'y nagigising, at, narito, siya'y malata, at ang kaniyang kaluluwa ay uhaw: gayon ang mangyayari sa karamihan ng lahat na bansa, na nagsisilaban sa bundok ng Sion.
9 Kayo'y mangatigilan at manganggilalas; kayo'y mangalugod at mangabulag: (J)sila'y lango, (K)nguni't hindi sa alak; sila'y gumigiray, nguni't hindi sa matapang na alak.
10 Sapagka't inihulog ng (L)Panginoon sa inyo ang diwa ng mahimbing na pagkakatulog, at (M)ipinikit ang inyong mga mata, na mga propeta; at ang iyong mga pangulo, na mga tagakita, ay kaniyang tinakpan.
11 (N)At ang lahat ng pangitain ay naging sa inyo'y gaya ng mga salita ng aklat na (O)natatatakan, na ibinibigay ng mga tao sa isang marunong bumasa, na sinasabi, Iyong basahin ito, isinasamo ko sa iyo: at kaniyang sinasabi, Hindi ko mababasa, sapagka't (P)natatatakan;
12 At ang aklat ay nabigay sa kaniya na hindi marunong, na sinasabi, Iyong basahin ito, isinasamo ko sa iyo: at kaniyang sinasabi, Ako'y hindi marunong bumasa.
13 At sinabi ng Panginoon, (Q)Yamang ang bayang ito ay lumapit sa akin, at pinapupurihan ako ng kanilang bibig at ng kanilang mga labi, nguni't inilayo ang kanilang puso sa akin, at ang kanilang takot sa akin ay (R)utos ng mga tao na itinuro sa kanila:
14 Dahil dito narito, pasisimulan kong gawin ang isang kagilagilalas na gawa sa gitna ng bayang ito, isang kagilagilalas na gawa at kamanghamangha: at ang karunungan ng kanilang mga pantas ay (S)mapapawi, at ang unawa ng kanilang mga mabait ay malilingid.
15 Sa aba nila, (T)na nagsisihanap ng kalaliman upang ilingid sa Panginoon ang kanilang payo, at ang kanilang mga gawa ay nasa kadiliman, at kanilang sinasabi, Sinong nakakakita sa atin? at sinong nakakakilala sa atin?
16 Kayo'y nangagbabaligtad ng mga bagay! Maibibilang bagang putik ang magpapalyok; upang sabihin ng (U)bagay na yari sa may-gawa sa kaniya, Hindi niya ginawa ako; o sabihin ng bagay na may anyo tungkol sa naganyo, Siya'y walang unawa?
Ang Israel ay nalalapit sa pagbabago.
17 Hindi baga sangdaling-sangdali na lamang, at ang (V)Libano ay magiging mainam na bukid, at (W)ang mainam na bukid ay magiging pinakagubat?
18 At (X)sa araw na yaon ay makikinig ang pipi ng mga salita ng aklat, at ang mga mata ng bulag ay makakakita mula sa kalabuan at sa kadiliman.
19 At mananagana naman sa kanilang kagalakan sa Panginoon, ang (Y)maamo, at ang dukha sa gitna ng mga tao ay magagalak sa Banal ng Israel.
20 (Z)Sapagka't ang kakilakilabot ay nauwi sa wala, at (AA)ang mangduduwahagi ay naglilikat, at ang lahat na nagbabanta ng kasamaan ay nangahiwalay:
21 Yaong nakapagkasala sa tao sa isang usapin, at naglalagay ng silo (AB)doon sa sumasaway sa pintuang-bayan, at nagliligaw sa ganap na tao sa pamamagitan ng walang kabuluhan.
22 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, na siyang tumubos kay Abraham, tungkol sa sangbahayan ni Jacob, Si Jacob nga ay hindi mapapahiya o mamumula pa man ang kaniyang mukha.
23 Nguni't pagka kaniyang nakikita ang kaniyang mga anak, (AC)ang gawa ng aking mga kamay, sa gitna niya, ay (AD)kanilang aariing banal ang aking pangalan; oo, kanilang aariing banal ang Banal ni Jacob, at magsisitayong may takot sa (AE)Dios ng Israel.
24 Sila namang nangamamali sa diwa ay darating sa pagkaunawa, at silang mga mapag-upasala ay mangatututo ng aral.

29 „Vai de Ariel(A) (Leul lui Dumnezeu), de Ariel! Cetatea în(B) care a tăbărât David! Adăugaţi an la an şi lăsaţi sărbătorile să-şi facă ocolul lor. 2 Apoi, voi împresura pe Ariel; plânsete şi gemete vor fi în ea şi cetatea va fi ca un Ariel pentru Mine. 3 Căci te voi împresura de toate părţile, te voi înconjura cu cete de străjeri şi voi ridica întărituri de şanţuri împotriva ta. 4 Vei fi doborât la pământ şi de acolo vei vorbi şi din ţărână ţi se vor auzi vorbele. Glasul tău va ieşi din pământ(C) ca al unei năluci şi din ţărână îţi vei şopti cuvintele. 5 Dar mulţimea vrăjmaşilor(D) tăi va fi ca o pulbere măruntă şi mulţimea asupritorilor va fi ca(E) pleava care zboară, şi aceasta deodată(F), într-o clipă.” 6 De la Domnul oştirilor va(G) veni pedeapsa, cu tunete, cutremure de pământ şi pocnet puternic, cu vijelie şi furtună şi cu flacăra unui foc mistuitor. 7 Şi, ca un vis, ca o vedenie de noapte, aşa va fi mulţimea(H) neamurilor care vor lupta împotriva lui Ariel, aşa vor fi cei ce se vor bate împotriva lui şi cetăţuiei lui, strângându-l de aproape. 8 După cum cel flămând visează(I) că mănâncă şi se trezeşte cu stomacul gol, şi, după cum cel însetat visează(J) că bea, şi se trezeşte stors de puteri şi cu setea neastâmpărată, tot aşa va fi şi cu mulţimea neamurilor care vor veni să lupte împotriva Muntelui Sionului. 9 „Rămâneţi încremeniţi şi uimiţi! Închideţi ochii şi fiţi orbi! Ei sunt(K) beţi, dar(L) nu de vin; se clatină, dar nu din pricina băuturilor tari. 10 Ci pentru că(M) Domnul a turnat peste voi un duh de adormire; v-a închis(N) ochii, prorocilor, şi v-a acoperit capetele, văzătorilor(O). 11 De aceea toată descoperirea dumnezeiască a ajuns pentru voi ca vorbele unei cărţi(P) pecetluite. Dacă o dai cuiva care ştie să citească şi-i zici: ‘Ia citeşte!’ El(Q) răspunde: ‘Nu pot, căci este pecetluită!’ 12 Sau dacă dai cartea unuia care nu ştie să citească şi-i zici: ‘Ia citeşte!’ El răspunde: ‘Nu ştiu să citesc.’ ” 13 Domnul zice: „Când(R) se apropie de Mine poporul acesta, Mă cinsteşte cu gura şi cu buzele, dar inima lui este departe de Mine şi frica pe care o are de Mine nu este decât o învăţătură(S) de datină omenească. 14 De(T) aceea, voi lovi iarăşi pe poporul acesta cu semne şi minuni din ce în ce mai minunate, aşa că(U) înţelepciunea înţelepţilor lui va pieri şi priceperea oamenilor lui pricepuţi se va face nevăzută.” 15 Vai(V) de cei ce îşi ascund planurile dinaintea Domnului, care îşi fac faptele în întuneric şi zic(W): „Cine ne vede şi cine ne ştie?” 16 Stricaţi ce sunteţi! Oare olarul trebuie privit ca lutul sau poate lucrarea(X) să zică despre lucrător: „Nu m-a făcut el?” Sau poate vasul să zică despre olar: „El nu se pricepe?” 17 Peste puţină vreme, Libanul(Y) se va preface în pomăt, şi pomătul va fi socotit ca o pădure! 18 În(Z) ziua aceea, surzii vor auzi cuvintele cărţii şi ochii orbilor, izbăviţi de negură şi întuneric, vor vedea. 19 Cei(AA) nenorociţi se vor bucura tot mai mult în Domnul şi săracii(AB) se vor veseli de Sfântul lui Israel. 20 Căci asupritorul nu va mai fi, batjocoritorul(AC) va pieri şi toţi cei ce pândeau(AD) nelegiuirea vor fi nimiciţi: 21 cei ce osândeau pe alţii la judecată, întindeau curse cui îi înfruntau la poarta cetăţii şi năpăstuiau(AE) fără temei pe cel nevinovat. 22 De aceea, aşa vorbeşte Domnul către casa lui Iacov, El, care(AF) a răscumpărat pe Avraam: „Acum Iacov nu va mai roşi de ruşine şi nu i se va mai îngălbeni faţa acum. 23 Căci, când vor vedea ei, când vor vedea copiii lor, în mijlocul lor, lucrarea(AG) mâinilor Mele, Îmi vor sfinţi Numele; vor sfinţi pe Sfântul lui Iacov şi se vor teme de Dumnezeul lui Israel. 24 Cei rătăciţi(AH) cu duhul vor căpăta pricepere şi cei ce cârteau vor lua învăţătură.”

Isaiah 29
King James Version
29 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3 And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
