Isaias 1
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Ang pangitain ni Isaias na anak ni Amoz, na nakita tungkol sa Juda at Jerusalem, sa mga kaarawan ni Uzias, ni Jotham, ni Ahaz, at ni Ezechias, na mga hari sa Juda.
2 Dinggin mo, Oh langit, at pakinggan mo, Oh lupa, sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon: Ako'y nagalaga at nagpalaki ng mga bata, at sila'y nanganghimagsik laban sa akin.
3 Nakikilala ng baka ang kaniyang panginoon, at ng asno ang pasabsaban ng kaniyang panginoon: nguni't ang Israel ay hindi nakakakilala, ang bayan ko ay hindi gumugunita.
4 Ah bansang salarin, bayang napapasanan ng kasamaan, lahi ng mga manggagawa ng kasamaan, mga anak na nagsisigawa ng kalikuan: pinabayaan nila ang Panginoon, hinamak nila ang Banal ng Israel, sila'y nangapalayo na nagsiurong.
5 Bakit kayo'y hahampasin pa, na kayo'y manganghimagsik ng higit at higit? ang buong ulo ay masakit, at ang buong puso ay nanglulupaypay.
6 Mula sa talampakan ng paa hanggang sa ulo ay walang kagalingan; kundi mga sugat, at mga pasa, at nangagnananang sugat: hindi nangatikom, o nangatalian man, o nangapahiran man ng langis.
7 Ang inyong lupain ay giba; ang inyong mga bayan ay sunog ng apoy; ang inyong lupain ay nilalamon ng mga taga ibang lupa sa inyong harapan, at giba, na gaya ng iniwasak ng mga taga ibang lupa.
8 At ang anak na babae ng Sion ay naiwang parang balag sa isang ubasan, parang pahingahan sa halamanan ng mga pepino, parang bayang nakukubkob.
9 Kung hindi nagiwan sa atin ng napakakaunting labi ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, naging gaya sana tayo ng Sodoma, naging gaya sana tayo ng Gomorra.
10 Pakinggan ninyo ang salita ng Panginoon, ninyong mga pinuno ng Sodoma; mangakinig kayo sa kautusan ng ating Dios, kayong bayan ng Gomorra.
11 Sa anong kapararakan ang karamihan ng inyong mga hain sa akin? sabi ng Panginoon: ako'y puno ng mga handog na susunugin na mga lalaking tupa, at ng mataba sa mga hayop na pinataba; at ako'y hindi nalulugod sa dugo ng mga toro, o ng mga kordero o ng mga kambing na lalake.
12 Nang kayo'y magsidating na pakita sa harap ko, sinong humingi nito sa inyong kamay, upang inyong yapakan ang aking mga looban?
13 Huwag na kayong magdala ng mga walang kabuluhang alay; kamangyan ay karumaldumal sa akin; ang bagong buwan, at ang sabbath, ang tawag ng mga kapulungan, hindi ako makapagtitiis ng kasamaan at ng takdang pulong.
14 Ipinagdaramdam ng aking puso ang inyong mga bagong buwan at ang inyong mga takdang kapistahan: mga kabagabagan sa akin; ako'y pata ng pagdadala ng mga yaon.
15 At pagka inyong iginagawad ang inyong mga kamay, aking ikukubli ang aking mga mata sa inyo: oo, pagka kayo'y nagsisidalangin ng marami, hindi ko kayo didinggin: ang inyong mga kamay ay puno ng dugo.
16 Mangaghugas kayo, mangaglinis kayo; alisin ninyo ang kasamaan ng inyong mga gawa sa harap ng aking mga mata; mangaglikat kayo ng paggawa ng kasamaan:
17 Mangatuto kayong magsigawa ng mabuti; inyong hanapin ang kahatulan, inyong saklolohan ang napipighati, inyong hatulan ang ulila, ipagsanggalang ninyo ang babaing bao.
18 Magsiparito kayo ngayon, at tayo'y magkatuwiranan, sabi ng Panginoon: bagaman ang inyong mga kasalanan ay maging tila mapula, ay magiging mapuputi na parang niebe; bagaman maging mapulang gaya ng matingkad na pula, ay magiging parang balahibo ng bagong paligong tupa,
19 Kung kayo'y magkusa at mangagmasunurin, kayo'y magsisikain ng buti ng lupain:
20 Nguni't kung kayo'y magsitanggi at manganghimagsik, kayo'y lilipulin ng tabak: sapagka't sinalita ng bibig ng Panginoon.
21 Ano't ang tapat na bayan ay naging tila patutot! noong una siya'y puspos ng kahatulan! katuwiran ay tumatahan sa kaniya, nguni't ngayo'y mga mamamatay tao.
22 Ang iyong pilak ay naging dumi, ang iyong alak ay nahaluan ng tubig.
23 Ang iyong mga pangulo ay mapanghimagsik, at mga kasama ng mga tulisan; bawa't isa'y umiibig ng mga suhol, at naghahangad ng mga kabayaran: hindi nila hinahatulan ang ulila, o pinararating man sa kanila ang usap ng babaing bao.
24 Kaya't sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, ng Makapangyarihan ng Israel, Ah kukuhang sulit ako sa aking mga kaalit, at manghihiganti ako sa aking mga kaaway.
25 At aking ibabalik ang aking kamay sa iyo, at aking lilinising lubos ang naging dumi mo, at aalisin ko ang iyong lahat na tingga:
26 At aking papananauliin ang iyong mga hukom na gaya ng una, at ang iyong mga kasangguni na gaya ng pasimula: pagkatapos ay tatawagin ka, Ang bayan ng katuwiran, ang tapat na bayan.
27 Ang Sion ay tutubusin ng kahatulan, at ng katuwiran ang kaniyang mga nahikayat.
28 Nguni't ang pagkalipol ng mga mananalangsang at ng mga makasalanan ay magkakapisan, at silang nagtatakuwil sa Panginoon ay mangalilipol.
29 Sapagka't kanilang ikahihiya ang mga encina na inyong ninasa, at kayo'y mangalilito dahil sa mga halamanan na inyong pinili.
30 Sapagka't kayo'y magiging parang encina na ang dahon ay nalalanta, at parang halamanan na walang tubig.
31 At ang malakas ay magiging parang taling estopa, at ang kaniyang gawa ay parang alipato; at kapuwa sila magliliyab, at walang papatay sa apoy.
Isaiah 1
Amplified Bible
Rebellion of God’s People
1 The vision of [the prophet] Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning [the kingdom of] Judah and [its capital] Jerusalem, which he saw [as revealed by God] during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2
Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth;
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have reared and brought up sons,
But they have rebelled against Me and have broken away.
3
“The ox [instinctively] knows its owner,
And the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
But Israel does not know [Me as Lord],
My people do not understand.”
4
Ah, sinful nation,
A people loaded down with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing],
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who behave corruptly!
They have abandoned (rejected) the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel [provoking Him to anger],
They have turned away from Him.
5
Why should you be stricken and punished again [since no change results from it]?
You [only] continue to rebel.
The whole head is sick
And the whole heart is faint and sick.
6
From the sole of the foot even to the head
There is nothing healthy in the nation’s body,
Only bruises, welts, and raw wounds,
Not pressed out or bandaged,
Nor softened with oil [as a remedy].
7
Your land lies desolate [because of your disobedience],
Your cities are burned with fire,
Your fields—strangers are devouring them in your very presence;
It is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8
The Daughter of Zion (Jerusalem) is left like a [deserted] shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman’s hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city [isolated, surrounded by devastation].
9
If the Lord of hosts
Had not left us a few survivors,
We would be like Sodom,
We would be like Gomorrah.(A)
God Has Had Enough
10
Hear the word of the Lord [rulers of Jerusalem],
You rulers of [another] Sodom,
Listen to the law and instruction of our God,
You people of [another] Gomorrah.
11
“What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me [without your repentance]?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of [your] burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of well-fed cattle [without your obedience];
And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls or lambs or goats [offered without repentance].
12
“When you come to appear before Me,
Who requires this of you, this trampling of My [temple] courts [by your sinful feet]?
13
“Do not bring worthless offerings again,
[Your] incense is repulsive to Me;
[Your] New Moon and Sabbath [observances], the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure wickedness [your sin, your injustice, your wrongdoing] and [the squalor of] the festive assembly.
14
“I hate [the hypocrisy of] your New Moon festivals and your appointed feasts.
They have become a burden to Me;
I am weary of bearing them.
15
“So when you spread out your hands [in prayer, pleading for My help],
I will hide My eyes from you;
Yes, even though you offer many prayers,
I will not be listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Get your evil deeds out of My sight.
Stop doing evil,
17
Learn to do good.
Seek justice,
Rebuke the ruthless,
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the [rights of the] widow [in court].
“Let Us Reason”
18
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord.
“[a]Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be like wool.
19
“If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the best of the land;
20
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
Zion Corrupted, to Be Redeemed
21
How the faithful city has become a prostitute [idolatrous, despicable],
She who was full of justice!
Right standing with God once lodged in her,
But now murderers.
22
Your silver has turned to [b]lead,
Your wine is diluted with water.
23
Your rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves bribes
And chases after gifts.
They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the widow’s cause come before them [instead they delay or turn a deaf ear].
24
Therefore the Lord God of hosts,
The Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will be freed of My adversaries
And avenge Myself on My enemies.
25
“And I will turn My hand against you,
And will [thoroughly] purge away your dross as with lye
And remove all your tin (impurity).
26
“Then I will restore your judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
Afterward you will be called the city of righteousness,
The faithful city.”
27
Zion will be redeemed with justice
And her repentant ones with righteousness.
28
But rebels and sinners will be crushed and destroyed together,
And those who abandon (turn away from) the Lord will be consumed (perish).
29
For you will be ashamed [of the degradation] of the oaks in which you took [idolatrous] pleasure,
And you will be ashamed of the gardens [of passion] which you have chosen [for pagan worship].
30
For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers and dies
And like a garden that has no water.
31
The strong man will become tinder,
And his work a spark.
So both will burn together
And there will be none to quench them.

Isaiah 1
New International Version
1 The vision(A) concerning Judah and Jerusalem(B) that Isaiah son of Amoz saw(C) during the reigns of Uzziah,(D) Jotham,(E) Ahaz(F) and Hezekiah,(G) kings of Judah.
A Rebellious Nation
2 Hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth!(H)
For the Lord has spoken:(I)
“I reared children(J) and brought them up,
but they have rebelled(K) against me.
3 The ox knows(L) its master,
the donkey its owner’s manger,(M)
but Israel does not know,(N)
my people do not understand.(O)”
4 Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,(P)
a brood of evildoers,(Q)
children given to corruption!(R)
They have forsaken(S) the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One(T) of Israel
and turned their backs(U) on him.
5 Why should you be beaten(V) anymore?
Why do you persist(W) in rebellion?(X)
Your whole head is injured,
your whole heart(Y) afflicted.(Z)
6 From the sole of your foot to the top of your head(AA)
there is no soundness(AB)—
only wounds and welts(AC)
and open sores,
not cleansed or bandaged(AD)
or soothed with olive oil.(AE)
7 Your country is desolate,(AF)
your cities burned with fire;(AG)
your fields are being stripped by foreigners(AH)
right before you,
laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.(AI)
8 Daughter Zion(AJ) is left(AK)
like a shelter in a vineyard,
like a hut(AL) in a cucumber field,
like a city under siege.
9 Unless the Lord Almighty
had left us some survivors,(AM)
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.(AN)
10 Hear the word of the Lord,(AO)
you rulers of Sodom;(AP)
listen to the instruction(AQ) of our God,
you people of Gomorrah!(AR)
11 “The multitude of your sacrifices—
what are they to me?” says the Lord.
“I have more than enough of burnt offerings,
of rams and the fat of fattened animals;(AS)
I have no pleasure(AT)
in the blood of bulls(AU) and lambs and goats.(AV)
12 When you come to appear before me,
who has asked this of you,(AW)
this trampling of my courts?
13 Stop bringing meaningless offerings!(AX)
Your incense(AY) is detestable(AZ) to me.
New Moons,(BA) Sabbaths and convocations(BB)—
I cannot bear your worthless assemblies.
14 Your New Moon(BC) feasts and your appointed festivals(BD)
I hate with all my being.(BE)
They have become a burden to me;(BF)
I am weary(BG) of bearing them.
15 When you spread out your hands(BH) in prayer,
I hide(BI) my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.(BJ)
16 Wash(BM) and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;(BN)
stop doing wrong.(BO)
17 Learn to do right;(BP) seek justice.(BQ)
Defend the oppressed.[a](BR)
Take up the cause of the fatherless;(BS)
plead the case of the widow.(BT)
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(BU)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(BV)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(BW)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(BX)
you will eat the good things of the land;(BY)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(BZ)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(CA)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(CB)
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(CC)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(CD) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(CE)
22 Your silver has become dross,(CF)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(CG)
partners with thieves;(CH)
they all love bribes(CI)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(CJ)
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
the Mighty One(CK) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
and avenge(CL) myself on my enemies.(CM)
25 I will turn my hand against you;[b](CN)
I will thoroughly purge(CO) away your dross(CP)
and remove all your impurities.(CQ)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,(CR)
your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called(CS)
the City of Righteousness,(CT)
the Faithful City.(CU)”
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(CV) ones with righteousness.(CW)
28 But rebels and sinners(CX) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(CY) the Lord will perish.(CZ)
29 “You will be ashamed(DA) because of the sacred oaks(DB)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(DC)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(DD)
like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
with no one to quench the fire.(DE)”
