Isaias 22
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang Jerusalem ay kinulong.
22 (A)Ang hula tungkol sa (B)libis ng pangitain.
Anong ipinakikialam mo ngayon na ikaw ay lubos na sumampa sa mga bubungan?
2 Oh ikaw na puspos ng mga hiyawan, magulong bayan, (C)masayang bayan; ang iyong mga patay ay hindi nangapatay ng tabak, o nangamatay man sila sa pakikipagbaka.
3 (D)Lahat mong pinuno ay nagsitakas na magkakasama, nangatalian ng mga mangbubusog: lahat na nangasumpungan sa iyo ay nangataliang magkakasama, nagsitakas na malayo.
4 Kaya't sinabi ko, Bayaan ninyo ako, ako'y iiyak na may kapanglawan; huwag ninyong sikaping aliwin ako, ng dahil sa pagkasamsam sa anak na babae ng aking bayan.
5 Sapagka't araw na pagkatulig (E)at ng pagyurak, at ng pagkalito, (F)mula sa Panginoon, mula sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa libis ng pangitain; pagkabagsak ng mga kuta at paghiyaw sa mga bundok.
6 At ang Elam ay may dalang lalagyan ng pana, (G)may mga karo ng mga tao at mga mangangabayo; at ang (H)Kir ay Bunot ang kalasag.
7 At nangyari, na ang iyong pinakapiling libis ay puno ng mga karo, at ang mga mangangabayo ay nagsisihanay sa pintuang-bayan.
8 At kaniyang inalis ang takip ng Juda; at ikaw ay tumitig ng araw na yaon sa sakbat sa bahay (I)na kahoy sa gubat.
9 At inyong nakita ang mga sira (J)ng bayan ni David, na napakarami: at inyong pinisan ang tubig ng mababang (K)tangke.
10 At inyong binilang ang mga bahay ng Jerusalem, at inyong iginiba ang mga bahay upang patibayin ang kuta.
11 Kayo'y nagsigawa naman ng tipunang tubig (L)sa pagitan ng dalawang kuta para sa tubig ng dating tangke. Nguni't hindi ninyo tiningnan siyang gumawa nito, o nagpakundangan man kayo sa kaniya na naganyo nito na malaon na.
12 At nang araw na yao'y (M)tumawag ang Panginoon, ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, sa pagiyak, at sa pagtangis, at (N)sa pagkakalbo, at sa pagbibigkis ng kayong magaspang.
13 At, narito, kagalakan at kasayahan, pagpatay ng mga baka at pagpatay ng mga tupa, pagkain ng karne, at paginom ng alak: (O)Tayo'y magsikain at magsiinom, sapagka't bukas tayo ay mangamamatay.
14 At ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ay naghayag sa aking mga pakinig, Tunay na ang kasamaang ito ay hindi malilinis sa inyo hanggang sa kayo'y mangamatay, sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo.
Si Sebna ay papalitan ni Eliacim.
15 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Ikaw ay yumaon, pumaroon ka sa tagaingat-yamang ito samakatuwid baga'y kay (P)Sebna, na katiwala sa bahay, at iyong sabihin,
16 Anong ginagawa mo rito? at sinong ibinaon mo rito, na gumawa ka rito ng isang libingan para sa iyo? na gumagawa ka ng libingan sa itaas, at umuukit ka ng tahanan niyang sarili sa malaking bato!
17 Narito, ibabagsak kang bigla ng Panginoon na gaya ng malakas na tao: oo, kaniyang hihigpitan ka.
18 Tunay niyang papipihit-pihitin at itatapon ka na parang bola sa malaking lupain; doon ka mamamatay, at doon malalagay ang mga karo ng iyong kaluwalhatian, ikaw na kahihiyan ng sangbahayan ng iyong panginoon.
19 At aalisin kita sa iyong katungkulan, at sa iyong kinaroroonan ay ibubuwal ka.
20 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na aking tatawagin ang aking lingkod na si (Q)Eliacim na anak ni Hilcias:
21 At aking susuutan siya ng iyong balabal, at patitibayin siya ng iyong pamigkis, at aking ipagkakatiwala ang iyong pamamahala sa kaniyang kamay: at siya'y magiging ama sa mga nananahan sa Jerusalem, at sa sangbahayan ni Juda.
22 At ang katungkulan sa sangbahayan ni David ay iaatang ko (R)sa kaniyang balikat; (S)at siya'y magbubukas, at walang magsasara; at siya'y magsasara, at walang magbubukas.
23 At aking ikakapit siya na parang (T)pako sa isang matibay na dako; at siya'y magiging (U)pinakaluklukan ng kaluwalhatian sa sangbahayan ng kaniyang magulang.
24 At kanilang ipagkakaloob sa kaniya ang buong kaluwalhatian ng sangbahayan ng kaniyang magulang, ang mga anak at ang angkan, bawa't sisidlan, mula sa mga munting sisidlan hanggang sa mga malalaking sisidlan.
25 Sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, (V)matatanggal ang pakong nakapit sa matibay na dako; at mababalikwat, at mahuhulog, at (W)ang mga sabit niyaon ay malalaglag; (X)sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon.
Isaiah 22
King James Version
22 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
6 And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord God of hosts.
15 Thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?
17 Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
25 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 22
New King James Version
Proclamation Against Jerusalem
22 The [a]burden against the Valley of Vision.
What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
2 You who are full of noise,
A [b]tumultuous city, (A)a joyous city?
Your slain men are not slain with the sword,
Nor dead in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together;
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.
4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me,
(B)I will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”
5 (C)For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity
(D)By the Lord God of hosts
In the Valley of Vision—
Breaking down the walls
And of crying to the mountain.
6 (E)Elam bore the quiver
With chariots of men and horsemen,
And (F)Kir uncovered the shield.
7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys
Shall be full of chariots,
And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
8 (G)He removed the [c]protection of Judah.
You looked in that day to the armor (H)of the House of the Forest;
9 (I)You also saw the [d]damage to the city of David,
That it was great;
And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem,
And the houses you broke down
To fortify the wall.
11 (J)You also made a reservoir between the two walls
For the water of the old (K)pool.
But you did not look to its Maker,
Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.
12 And in that day the Lord God of hosts
(L)Called for weeping and for mourning,
(M)For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.
13 But instead, joy and gladness,
Slaying oxen and killing sheep,
Eating meat and (N)drinking wine:
(O)“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14 (P)Then it was revealed in my hearing by the Lord of hosts,
“Surely for this iniquity there (Q)will be no atonement for you,
Even to your death,” says the Lord God of hosts.
The Judgment on Shebna
15 Thus says the Lord God of hosts:
“Go, proceed to this steward,
To (R)Shebna, who is over the house, and say:
16 ‘What have you here, and whom have you here,
That you have hewn a sepulcher here,
As he (S)who hews himself a sepulcher on high,
Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?
17 Indeed, the Lord will throw you away violently,
O mighty man,
(T)And will surely seize you.
18 He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball
Into a large country;
There you shall die, and there (U)your glorious chariots
Shall be the shame of your master’s house.
19 So I will drive you out of your office,
And from your position [e]he will pull you down.
20 ‘Then it shall be in that day,
That I will call My servant (V)Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;
21 I will clothe him with your robe
And strengthen him with your belt;
I will commit your responsibility into his hand.
He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem
And to the house of Judah.
22 The key of the house of David
I will lay on his (W)shoulder;
So he shall (X)open, and no one shall shut;
And he shall shut, and no one shall open.
23 I will fasten him as (Y)a peg in a secure place,
And he will become a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24 ‘They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers. 25 In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the Lord has spoken.’ ”
