Isaias 19
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang hula tungkol sa Egipto. Pagsamsam, susundan ng pagbalik sa Panginoon.
19 (A)Ang hula tungkol sa (B)Egipto.
Narito, ang (C)Panginoon ay nakasakay sa isang matuling alapaap, at napasasa Egipto: at (D)ang mga diosdiosan ng Egipto ay makikilos sa kaniyang harapan, at ang puso ng Egipto ay manglulumo sa gitna niyaon.
2 At aking hihikayatin ang mga Egipcio laban sa mga Egipcio: at lalaban bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang kapatid, at bawa't isa laban sa kaniyang kapuwa; bayan laban sa bayan, at kaharian laban sa kaharian.
3 At ang diwa ng Egipto ay mauupos sa gitna niyaon; at aking sisirain ang payo niyaon: at (E)sasangguni sila sa mga diosdiosan, at sa mga enkantador, at sa mga nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu, at sa mga manghuhula.
4 At aking ibibigay ang mga Egipcio (F)sa kamay ng mabagsik na panginoon; at mabangis na hari ay magpupuno sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
5 At (G)magkukulang ng tubig sa mga dagat, at ang ilog ay mawawalan ng tubig at matutuyo.
6 At ang mga ilog ay babaho; ang mga batis ng Egipto ay huhupa at matutuyo: ang mga tambo at mga talahib ay mangatutuyo.
7 Ang mga parang sa pangpang ng Nilo, sa baybayin ng Nilo, at lahat na nahasik sa tabi ng Nilo, mangatutuyo, mangatatangay, at mangawawala.
8 (H)Ang mga mangingisda naman ay magsisitaghoy, at lahat ng nangaglalawit ng bingwit sa Nilo ay tatangis, at silang nangaglaladlad ng mga lambat sa mga tubig ay manganglalata.
9 Bukod dito'y silang nagsisigawa sa mga (I)lino, at silang nagsisihabi ng puting damit ay mangapapahiya.
10 At ang kaniyang mga haligi ay magkakaputolputol, silang lahat na nangagpapaupa ay nangagdadalamhati ang kalooban.
11 Ang mga pangulo sa (J)Zoan ay lubos na mangmang; ang payo ng mga pinakapantas at kasangguni ni Faraon ay naging tampalasan: paanong masasabi ninyo kay Faraon, Ako'y anak ng pantas, anak ng mga dating hari?
12 Saan nangaroon nga (K)ang iyong mga pantas? at sasabihin nila sa iyo ngayon; at alamin nila kung ano ang pinanukala ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo tungkol sa Egipto.
13 Ang mga pangulo sa Zoan ay naging mga mangmang, ang mga pangulo sa Nof ay (L)nangadaya; kanilang iniligaw ang Egipto, na siyang panulok na bato ng kaniyang mga lipi.
14 Naghalo ang Panginoon ng (M)diwa ng kasuwailan sa gitna niya: at iniligaw nila ang Egipto sa bawa't gawa niya, na parang langong tao na nahahapay sa kaniyang suka.
15 Hindi na magkakaroon man sa Egipto (N)ng anomang gawain, na magagawa ng ulo o ng buntot, sanga ng palma, o tambo.
16 (O)Sa araw na yaon ay magiging (P)parang mga babae ang Egipto: at manginginig at matatakot dahil sa (Q)bala ng kamay ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na kaniyang ibinabala.
17 At ang lupain ng Juda ay magiging kakilabutan sa Egipto; sa kanino man mabanggit yaon ay matatakot, dahil sa panukala ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na ipinanukala laban doon.
18 (R)Sa araw na yaon ay magkakaroon ng limang bayan sa lupain ng Egipto, (S)na mangagsasalita ng wika ng Canaan, at magsisisumpa sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo; isa'y tatawagin: Ang bayang giba.
19 Sa araw na yaon ay (T)magkakaroon ng isang dambana sa Panginoon (U)sa gitna ng lupain ng Egipto, at isang haligi sa hangganan niyaon sa Panginoon.
20 (V)At magiging pinakatanda at pinakasaksi sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa lupain ng Egipto: sapagka't sila'y magsisidaing sa Panginoon dahil sa mga mamimighati, at magsusugo siya sa kanila ng isang tagapagligtas, at isang tagapagsanggalang, at kaniyang ililigtas sila.
21 At ang Panginoon ay makikilala sa Egipto, at makikilala ng mga Egipcio ang Panginoon sa araw na yaon; oo, (W)sila'y magsisisamba na may hain at alay, at magsisipanata ng panata sa Panginoon, at tutuparin.
22 At sasaktan ng Panginoon ang Egipto, na nananakit at magpapagaling; at sila'y manunumbalik sa Panginoon, at siya'y madadalanginan nila, at pagagalingin niya sila.
23 Sa araw na yaon ay (X)magkakaroon ng lansangan mula sa Egipto hanggang sa Asiria, at ang mga taga Asiria ay magsisipasok sa Egipto, at ang mga Egipcio ay sa Asiria, at ang mga Egipcio ay magsisisambang kasama ng mga taga Asiria.
24 Sa araw na yao'y magiging pangatlo ang Israel sa Egipto at sa Asiria, na pagpapala sa gitna ng lupain:
25 Sapagka't pinagpala sila ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na sinasabi, Pagpalain ang bayan kong Egipto, (Y)at ang Asiria na gawa ng aking mga kamay, at ang Israel na (Z)aking mana.
Isaiah 19
New King James Version
Proclamation Against Egypt
19 The (A)burden[a] against Egypt.
Behold, the Lord (B)rides on a swift cloud,
And will come into Egypt;
(C)The idols of Egypt will [b]totter at His presence,
And the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.
2 “I will (D)set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst;
I will destroy their counsel,
And they will (E)consult the idols and the charmers,
The mediums and the sorcerers.
4 And the Egyptians I will give
(F)Into the hand of a cruel master,
And a fierce king will rule over them,”
Says the Lord, the Lord of hosts.
5 (G)The waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.
6 The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks (H)of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
7 The papyrus reeds by [c]the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 The fishermen also will mourn;
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
9 Moreover those who work in (I)fine flax
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
10 And its foundations will be broken.
All who make wages will be troubled of soul.
11 Surely the princes of (J)Zoan are fools;
Pharaoh’s wise counselors give foolish counsel.
(K)How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise,
The son of ancient kings?”
12 (L)Where are they?
Where are your wise men?
Let them tell you now,
And let them know what the Lord of hosts has (M)purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have become fools;
(N)The princes of [d]Noph are deceived;
They have also [e]deluded Egypt,
Those who are the [f]mainstay of its tribes.
14 The Lord has mingled (O)a perverse spirit in her midst;
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Neither will there be any work for Egypt,
Which (P)the head or tail,
Palm branch or bulrush, may do.
16 In that day Egypt will (Q)be like women, and will be afraid and fear because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, (R)which He waves over it. 17 And the land of Judah will be a terror to Egypt; everyone who makes mention of it will be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the Lord of hosts which He has (S)determined against it.
Egypt, Assyria, and Israel Blessed
18 In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will (T)speak the language of Canaan and (U)swear by the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of [g]Destruction.
19 In that day (V)there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the (W)Lord at its border. 20 And (X)it will be for a sign and for a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of the oppressors, and He will send them a (Y)Savior and a Mighty One, and He will deliver them. 21 Then the Lord will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will (Z)know the Lord in that day, and (AA)will make sacrifice and offering; yes, they will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. 22 And the Lord will strike Egypt, He will strike and (AB)heal it; they will return to the Lord, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.
23 In that day (AC)there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will (AD)serve with the Assyrians.
24 In that day Israel will be one of three with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing in the midst of the land, 25 whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria (AE)the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”

An Oracle Concerning Egypt
19 An (A)oracle concerning (B)Egypt.
Behold, the Lord (C)is riding on a swift cloud
and comes to Egypt;
and (D)the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence,
and the heart of the Egyptians will (E)melt within them.
2 And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians,
(F)and they will fight, each against another
and each against his neighbor,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom;
3 and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out,
and I will confound[a] their (G)counsel;
and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers,
and (H)the mediums and the necromancers;
4 and I will give over the Egyptians
into the hand of (I)a hard master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,
declares the Lord God of hosts.
5 And the waters of the sea will be dried up,
and the river will be dry and parched,
6 and its canals will become foul,
and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up,
reeds and rushes will rot away.
7 There will be bare places by the Nile,
on the brink of the Nile,
and all that is sown by the Nile will be parched,
will be driven away, and will be no more.
8 The (J)fishermen will mourn and lament,
all who cast a hook in the Nile;
and they will languish
who spread nets on the water.
9 The workers in (K)combed flax will be in despair,
and the weavers of white cotton.
10 Those who are the (L)pillars of the land will be crushed,
and all who (M)work for pay will be grieved.
11 The princes of (N)Zoan are utterly foolish;
the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel.
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am a son of the wise,
a son of ancient kings”?
12 Where then are your (O)wise men?
Let them tell you
that they might know what the Lord of hosts has purposed against Egypt.
13 The princes of (P)Zoan have become fools,
and the princes of (Q)Memphis are deluded;
those who are the (R)cornerstones of her tribes
have made Egypt stagger.
14 The Lord has mingled within her (S)a spirit of confusion,
and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds,
(T)as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 And there will be nothing for Egypt
that (U)head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do.
Egypt, Assyria, Israel Blessed
16 In that day the Egyptians will be (V)like women, and (W)tremble with fear before the hand that the Lord of hosts shakes over them. 17 And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the Lord of hosts has purposed against them.
18 (X)In that day there will be (Y)five cities in the land of Egypt that (Z)speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction.[b]
19 In that day there will be an (AA)altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a (AB)pillar to the Lord at its border. 20 (AC)It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, (AD)he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. 21 (AE)And the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day (AF)and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. 22 (AG)And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them.
23 (AH)In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, (AI)and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
24 In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, (AJ)a blessing in the midst of the earth, 25 whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt (AK)my people, and Assyria (AL)the work of my hands, and (AM)Israel my inheritance.”

Christian Standard Bible
A Pronouncement against Egypt
19 A pronouncement(A) concerning Egypt:(B)
Look, the Lord rides on a swift cloud(C)
and is coming to Egypt.
Egypt’s worthless idols will tremble before him,(D)
and Egypt will lose heart.(E)
2 I will provoke Egyptians against Egyptians;
each will fight against his brother(F)
and each against his friend,
city against city, kingdom against kingdom.(G)
3 Egypt’s spirit will be disturbed within it,
and I will frustrate its plans.
Then they will inquire of worthless idols, ghosts,
mediums, and spiritists.(H)
4 I will hand over Egypt to harsh masters,(I)
and a strong king will rule it.
This is the declaration of the Lord God of Armies.
5 The water of the sea will dry up,
and the river will be parched and dry.
6 The channels will stink;
they will dwindle, and Egypt’s canals will be parched.
Reed and rush will wilt.
7 The reeds by the Nile, by the mouth of the river,
and all the cultivated areas of the Nile
will wither, blow away, and vanish.
8 Then the fishermen will mourn.
All those who cast hooks into the Nile will lament,
and those who spread nets on the water will give up.
9 Those who work with flax will be dismayed;(J)
those combing it and weaving linen will turn pale.[a]
10 Egypt’s weavers[b] will be dejected;
all her wage earners will be demoralized.
11 The princes of Zoan are complete fools;(K)
Pharaoh’s wisest advisers give stupid advice!
How can you say to Pharaoh,
“I am one[c] of the wise,
a student of eastern[d] kings”?
12 Where then are your wise men?
Let them tell you and reveal
what the Lord of Armies has planned against Egypt.
13 The princes of Zoan have been fools;
the princes of Memphis are deceived.(L)
Her tribal chieftains have led Egypt astray.
14 The Lord has mixed within her a spirit of confusion.
The leaders have made Egypt stagger in all she does,
as a drunkard staggers in his vomit.
15 No head or tail, palm or reed,(M)
will be able to do anything for Egypt.
Egypt Will Know the Lord
16 On that day Egypt will be like women and will tremble with fear because of the threatening hand of the Lord of Armies when he raises it against them. 17 The land of Judah will terrify Egypt; whenever Judah is mentioned, Egypt will tremble because of what the Lord of Armies has planned(N) against it.
18 On that day five cities in the land of Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear loyalty to the Lord of Armies. One of the cities will be called the City of the Sun.[e][f]
19 On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the center of the land of Egypt and a pillar to the Lord near her border.(O) 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord of Armies in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and leader, and he will rescue them.(P) 21 The Lord will make himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the Lord on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings;(Q) they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them. 22 The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing. Then they will turn to the Lord, and he will be receptive to their prayers and heal them.
23 On that day there will be a highway(R) from Egypt to Assyria. Assyria will go to Egypt, Egypt to Assyria, and Egypt will worship with Assyria.
24 On that day Israel will form a triple alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing within the land. 25 The Lord of Armies will bless them, saying, “Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork,(S) and Israel my inheritance are blessed.”(T)
