Isaias 27
Magandang Balita Biblia
Ililigtas ang Israel
27 Sa(A) araw na iyon, gagamitin ni Yahweh
ang kanyang malupit at matalim na espada;
paparusahan niya ang Leviatan,[a] ang tumatakas na dragon,
at papatayin niya ang halimaw na nakatira sa dagat.
2 Sa araw na iyon,
sasabihin niya sa kanyang mainam na ubasan,
3 “Akong si Yahweh ang nag-aalaga ng ubasang ito
na dinidilig bawat sandali,
at binabantayan ko araw at gabi
upang walang manira.
4 Hindi na ako galit sa aking ubasan,
ngunit sa sandaling may makita akong mga tinik,
ang mga ito'y titipunin ko
at saka susunugin.
5 Ngunit kung nais nilang sila'y aking ingatan,
ang dapat nilang gawin, makipagkasundo sa akin.
6 Darating ang araw na mag-uugat ang lahi ni Jacob,
mamumulaklak ang Israel, magbubunga ng marami
at mapupuno ang buong daigdig.
7 Pinarusahan ba ng Diyos ang Israel gaya ng ginawa sa mga kaaway nito?
Pinatay ba niya ang mga Israelita tulad ng ginawa sa pumaslang sa kanila?
8 Hinayaan ni Yahweh na mabihag ang kanyang bayan bilang parusa;
tinangay sila ng malakas na hangin buhat sa silangan.
9 Patatawarin lang sila kung wawasakin nila ang mga altar
at itatapon ang larawan ng diyus-diyosang si Ashera,
at dudurugin ang altar na sunugan ng insenso.
10 Wasak na ang lunsod na siyang tanggulan,
para itong disyerto na walang nakatira,
at ginawang pastulan na lamang ng mga baka.
11 Nabali at natuyo ang mga sanga ng punongkahoy,
pupulutin naman ng mga babae at gagawing panggatong.
Sapagkat ang bayang ito'y walang pagkaunawa,
kaya hindi sila kahahabagan ng Diyos na kanilang Manlilikha.
12 Sa araw na iyon ay titipunin ni Yahweh,
ang mga Israelita gaya ng inaning trigo;
mula sa Ilog Eufrates hanggang sa hangganan ng Egipto.
13 Pagtunog ng trumpeta, tatawagin pabalik sa Jerusalem,
ang mga Israelitang nangalat sa Asiria at Egipto
upang sambahin nila si Yahweh sa banal na bundok sa Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
New King James Version
Israel Will Be Restored
27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
(A)Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay (B)the reptile that is in the sea.
The Restoration of Israel
2 In that day (C)sing to her,
(D)“A vineyard of [a]red wine!
3 (E)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in Me.
Who would set (F)briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold (G)of My strength,
That he may (H)make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”
6 Those who come He shall cause (I)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 (J)Has He struck [b]Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
8 (K)In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
(L)He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
[c]Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
10 Yet the fortified city will be (M)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For (N)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will (O)not have mercy on them,
And (P)He who formed them will show them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of [d]the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be (Q)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
13 (R)So it shall be in that day:
(S)The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of (T)Egypt,
And shall (U)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
