Isaias 21
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang hula sa Babilonia.
21 Ang hula tungkol sa ilang na nasa baybayin ng (A)dagat.
Kung paanong umiikot (B)ang mga ipoipo sa Timugan gayon dumarating ang hangin na mula sa ilang mula sa kakilakilabot na lupain.
2 Isang malubhang pangitain ay naipahayag sa akin; (C)ang manggagawa ng karayaan ay gumagawang may karayaan, at ang mananamsam ay nananamsam. (D)Umahon ka, Oh Elam; kumubkob ka, Oh Media; lahat ng buntong-hininga niya'y aking pinatigil.
3 Kaya't ang aking mga balakang ay puspos ng kahirapan; mga hirap ay dinamdam ko, gaya ng mga hirap ng babae sa pagdaramdam; ako'y naghihirap na anopa't hindi ako makarinig; ako'y nanglulupaypay na anopa't hindi ako makakita.
4 Ang aking puso ay sumisikdo, (E)kakilabutan ay tumakot sa akin: ang pagtatakip-silim na aking ninasa ay naging kapanginigan sa akin.
5 Sila'y nangaghanda ng dulang, sila'y nangaglagay ng bantay, sila'y nagsisikain, sila'y nagsisiinom: magsitindig kayo, kayong mga pangulo, inyong ihanda ang kalasag.
6 Sapagka't ganito ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Ikaw ay yumaon, maglagay ka ng bantay; ipahayag niya kung ano ang nakikita niya:
7 At pagka siya'y nakakita ng pulutong, (F)ng mga nangangabayong dalawa't dalawa, ng mga asno, ng pulutong ng mga kamelyo siya'y masikap na makikinig na ma'y pagiingat.
8 At siya'y umungal na parang leon: Oh Panginoon, ako'y tumatayong lagi sa moog (G)na bantayan kung araw, at ako'y tumatanod sa aking bantayan na magdamagan:
9 At, narito, dito'y dumarating ang isang pulutong na lalake, mga nangangabayong dalawa't dalawa. At siya'y sumagot at nagsabi, (H)Babilonia ay nabagsak, nabagsak, at (I)lahat na larawang inanyuan na kaniyang mga dios ay nangabagsak sa lupa.
10 (J)Oh ikaw na aking giniik, at trigo ng (K)aking giikan: ang aking narinig sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa Dios ng Israel, aking ipinahayag sa iyo.
11 (L)Ang hula tungkol sa (M)Duma.
May tumatawag sa akin mula sa (N)Seir, Bantay, anong nangyari sa gabi? Bantay, anong nangyari sa gabi?
12 Sinabi ng bantay, Ang umaga ay dumarating, at gayon din ang gabi: kung inyong uusisain, usisain ninyo: magsipihit kayo, parito kayo.
13 Ang hula tungkol sa (O)Arabia.
Sa gubat ng Arabia ay magsisitigil kayo, Oh kayong nangaglalakbay na pulupulutong na mga (P)Dedaneo.
14 Ang nauuhaw ay dinadalhan nila ng tubig; sinalubong ng mga nananahan sa lupain ng Tema na may kanilang tinapay ang mga bihag.
15 Sapagka't kanilang tinatakasan ang mga tabak, ang bunot na tabak, at ang akmang busog, at ang lala ng digmaan.
16 Sapagka't ganito ang sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Sa loob ng isang taon, (Q)ayon sa mga taon ng magpapaupa, ang lahat ng kaluwalhatian ng (R)Cedar ay mapapawi:
17 At ang malabi sa bilang sa mga mangbubusog, sa mga makapangyarihang lalake na mga anak ni Cedar, ay mangiilan: sapagka't ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, siyang nagsalita.
Isaiah 21
New King James Version
Isaiah 21
New King James Version
The Fall of Babylon Proclaimed
21 The [a]burden against the Wilderness of the Sea.
As (A)whirlwinds in the South pass through,
So it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A distressing vision is declared to me;
(B)The treacherous dealer deals treacherously,
And the plunderer plunders.
(C)Go up, O Elam!
Besiege, O Media!
All its sighing I have made to cease.
3 Therefore (D)my loins are filled with pain;
(E)Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor.
I was [b]distressed when I heard it;
I was dismayed when I saw it.
4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me;
(F)The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.
5 (G)Prepare the table,
Set a watchman in the tower,
Eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
Anoint the shield!
6 For thus has the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he sees.”
7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen,
A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,
And he listened earnestly with great care.
8 [c]Then he cried, “A lion, my Lord!
I stand continually on the (H)watchtower in the daytime;
I have sat at my post every night.
9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”
Then he answered and said,
(I)“Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
And (J)all the carved images of her gods
He has broken to the ground.”
10 (K)Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor!
That which I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
The God of Israel,
I have declared to you.
Proclamation Against Edom
11 (L)The [d]burden against Dumah.
He calls to me out of (M)Seir,
“Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, what of the night?”
12 The watchman said,
“The morning comes, and also the night.
If you will inquire, inquire;
Return! Come back!”
Proclamation Against Arabia
13 (N)The [e]burden against Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,
O you traveling companies (O)of Dedanites.
14 O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Bring water to him who is thirsty;
With their bread they met him who fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,
From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.
16 For thus the Lord has said to me: “Within a year, (P)according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of (Q)Kedar will fail; 17 and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.”

A Prophecy Against Babylon
21 A prophecy(A) against the Desert(B) by the Sea:
Like whirlwinds(C) sweeping through the southland,(D)
an invader comes from the desert,
from a land of terror.
2 A dire(E) vision has been shown to me:
The traitor betrays,(F) the looter takes loot.
Elam,(G) attack! Media,(H) lay siege!
I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.
3 At this my body is racked with pain,(I)
pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;(J)
I am staggered by what I hear,
I am bewildered(K) by what I see.
4 My heart(L) falters,
fear makes me tremble;(M)
the twilight I longed for
has become a horror(N) to me.
5 They set the tables,
they spread the rugs,
they eat, they drink!(O)
Get up, you officers,
oil the shields!(P)
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, post a lookout(Q)
and have him report what he sees.
7 When he sees chariots(R)
with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
or riders on camels,(S)
let him be alert,
fully alert.”
8 And the lookout[a](T) shouted,
“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
every night I stay at my post.
9 Look, here comes a man in a chariot(U)
with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
‘Babylon(V) has fallen,(W) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(X)
lie shattered(Y) on the ground!’”
10 My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,(Z)
I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
from the God of Israel.
A Prophecy Against Edom
11 A prophecy against Dumah[b]:(AA)
Someone calls to me from Seir,(AB)
“Watchman, what is left of the night?
Watchman, what is left of the night?”
12 The watchman replies,
“Morning is coming, but also the night.
If you would ask, then ask;
and come back yet again.”
A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 A prophecy(AC) against Arabia:(AD)
You caravans of Dedanites,(AE)
who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14 bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(AF)
bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(AG) from the sword,(AH)
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
and from the heat of battle.
16 This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract(AI) would count it, all the splendor(AJ) of Kedar(AK) will come to an end. 17 The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.(AL)” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.(AM)
