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
King James Version
1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.
3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.
5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Isaiah 1
New King James Version
Judah Called to Repentance
1 The (A)vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the (B)days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
The Wickedness of Judah
2 (C)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 (D)The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel (E)does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”
4 Alas, sinful nation,
A people [c]laden with iniquity,
(F)A [d]brood of evildoers,
Children who are corrupters!
They have forsaken the Lord,
They have provoked to anger
The Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away backward.
5 (G)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.
7 (H)Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 So the daughter of Zion is left (I)as a [e]booth in a vineyard,
As a hut in a garden of cucumbers,
(J)As a besieged city.
9 (K)Unless the Lord of hosts
Had left to us a very small remnant,
We would have become like (L)Sodom,
We would have been made like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers (M)of Sodom;
Give ear to the law of our God,
You people of Gomorrah:
11 “To what purpose is the multitude of your (N)sacrifices to Me?”
Says the Lord.
“I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams
And the fat of fed cattle.
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
Or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come (O)to appear before Me,
Who has required this from your hand,
To trample My courts?
13 Bring no more (P)futile[f] sacrifices;
Incense is an abomination to Me.
The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and (Q)the calling of assemblies—
I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
14 Your (R)New Moons and your (S)appointed feasts
My soul hates;
They are a trouble to Me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 (T)When you [g]spread out your hands,
I will hide My eyes from you;
(U)Even though you make many prayers,
I will not hear.
Your hands are full of [h]blood.
16 “Wash(V) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
(W)Cease to do evil,
17 Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke [i]the oppressor;
[j]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us (X)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
(Y)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
(Z)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
The Degenerate City
21 (AA)How the faithful city has become a [k]harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now (AB)murderers.
22 (AC)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (AD)Your princes are rebellious,
And (AE)companions of thieves;
(AF)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (AG)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (AH)I will [l]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [m]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (AI)thoroughly[n] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (AJ)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (AK)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [o]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (AL)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [p]they shall be ashamed of the [q]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (AM)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (AN)quench them.
