Isaias 34
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Parurusahan ng Dios ang Kanyang mga Kaaway
34 Kayong mga bansa, lumapit kayo at makinig nang mabuti. Makinig ang buong mundo at ang lahat ng nasa kanya. 2 Sapagkat galit ang Panginoon sa lahat ng bansa; galit siya sa kanilang mga kawal. Ganap niyang lilipulin ang mga ito. Papatayin niya silang lahat. 3 Hindi ililibing ang kanilang mga bangkay kaya aalingasaw ito, at ang mga bundok ay mamumula dahil sa kanilang dugo. 4 Matutunaw ang lahat ng bagay sa langit, at ang langit ay mawawala na parang kasulatan na nairolyo. Mahuhulog ang mga bituin na parang mga dahon ng ubas o ng igos na nalalanta at nalalagas. 5 Pagkatapos gamitin ng Panginoon ang kanyang espada sa langit, tatama naman ito sa Edom para parusahan at lipulin. 6 Ang espada ng Panginoon ay mapupuno ng dugo at taba, na parang ginamit sa pagkatay ng mga kambing at tupang ihahandog, sapagkat papatayin ng Panginoon ang mga taga-Bozra bilang handog. Marami ang kanyang papatayin sa iba pang mga lungsod ng Edom. 7 Papatayin din na parang mga toro ang kanilang mga makapangyarihang mamamayan. Ang kanilang lupain ay mapupuno ng dugo at taba. 8 Sapagkat ang Panginoon ay may itinakdang araw upang maghiganti sa kanyang mga kaaway para tulungan ang Zion. 9 Ang mga sapa at ang lupa sa Edom ay masisira.[a] Ang buong bansa ay masusunog at hindi na mapapakinabangan. 10 At hindi ito mapapatay araw at gabi. Ang usok nitoʼy papailanlang magpakailanman. Wala nang titira o dadaan man lang sa Edom kahit kailan. 11 Magiging tirahan ito ng mga kuwago at mga uwak. Nasa plano na ng Panginoon na ipadanas sa lupaing ito ang kaguluhan at kapahamakan. 12 At tatawagin itong, “Walang Kwentang Kaharian.” Mawawala ang lahat ng pinuno nito. 13 Tutubo ang matitinik na mga halaman sa mga napapaderang lungsod at matitibay na bahagi nito. Maninirahan doon ang mga kuwago at mga asong-gubat. 14 Magsasama-sama roon ang mga asong-gubat kasama ng iba pang hayop sa gubat. Tatawagin ng mga maiilap na kambing ang mga kasamahan nila roon. At ang mga malignong lumalabas kapag gabi ay pupunta roon para magpahinga. 15 Ang mga kuwago ay magpupugad doon, mangingitlog, mamimisa, at iingatan nila ang kanilang mga inakay sa ilalim ng kanilang mga pakpak. Ang mga uwak ay pares-pares na magtitipon roon.
16 Tingnan ninyo ang aklat ng Panginoon at basahin. Wala ni isa man sa mga sinabi ko ang hindi matutupad. Walang mawawala ni isa man sa mga hayop na iyon, at wala ni isa man sa mga ito ang walang kapares, sapagkat iyan ang ipinasya ng Panginoon, at siya mismo[b] ang magtitipon sa kanila. 17 Siya ang magbibigay sa mga hayop ng lupa na kanilang titirhan. Mapapasakanila ito magpakailanman, at doon sila titira magpakailanman.
Isaiah 34
New King James Version
Judgment on the Nations
34 Come (A)near, you nations, to hear;
And heed, you people!
(B)Let the earth hear, and all that is in it,
The world and all things that come forth from it.
2 For the indignation of the Lord is against all nations,
And His fury against all their armies;
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to the (C)slaughter.
3 Also their slain shall be thrown out;
(D)Their stench shall rise from their corpses,
And the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 (E)All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;
(F)All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as (G)fruit falling from a fig tree.
5 “For (H)My sword shall be bathed in heaven;
Indeed it (I)shall come down on Edom,
And on the people of My curse, for judgment.
6 The (J)sword of the Lord is filled with blood,
It is made [a]overflowing with fatness,
With the blood of lambs and goats,
With the fat of the kidneys of rams.
For (K)the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 The wild oxen shall come down with them,
And the young bulls with the mighty bulls;
Their land shall be soaked with blood,
And their dust [b]saturated with fatness.”
8 For it is the day of the Lord’s (L)vengeance,
The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 (M)Its streams shall be turned into pitch,
And its dust into brimstone;
Its land shall become burning pitch.
10 It shall not be quenched night or day;
(N)Its smoke shall ascend forever.
(O)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
No one shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (P)But the [c]pelican and the [d]porcupine shall possess it,
Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
And (Q)He shall stretch out over it
The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness.
12 They shall call its nobles to the kingdom,
But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 And (R)thorns shall come up in its palaces,
Nettles and brambles in its fortresses;
(S)It shall be a habitation of jackals,
A courtyard for ostriches.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the [e]jackals,
And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion;
Also [f]the night creature shall rest there,
And find for herself a place of rest.
15 There the arrow snake shall make her nest and lay eggs
And hatch, and gather them under her shadow;
There also shall the hawks be gathered,
Every one with her mate.
16 “Search from (T)the book of the Lord, and read:
Not one of these shall fail;
Not one shall lack her mate.
For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line.
They shall possess it forever;
From generation to generation they shall dwell in it.”

English Standard Version
Judgment on the Nations
34 Draw near, (A)O nations, to hear,
and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
the world, and all that comes from it.
2 For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
and furious against all their host;
he has (B)devoted them to destruction,[a] has given them over for slaughter.
3 Their slain shall be cast out,
and (C)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
(D)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
4 (E)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
as leaves fall from the vine,
like leaves falling from the fig tree.
5 For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens;
behold, it descends for judgment upon (F)Edom,
upon the people (G)I have devoted to destruction.
6 The Lord has a sword; it is sated with blood;
it is gorged with fat,
with the blood of lambs and goats,
with the fat of the kidneys of rams.
(H)For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah,
a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 (I)Wild oxen shall (J)fall with them,
and (K)young steers with (L)the mighty bulls.
Their land shall drink its fill of blood,
and their soil shall be gorged with fat.
8 (M)For the Lord has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.
9 (N)And the streams of Edom[b] shall be turned into pitch,
and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day (O)it shall not be quenched;
(P)its smoke shall go up forever.
(Q)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (R)But the hawk and the porcupine[c] shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
(S)He shall stretch the line of (T)confusion[d] over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 (U)Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of (V)jackals,
an abode for ostriches.[e]
14 (W)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[f] settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (X)the hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
Not one of these shall be missing;
none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 (Y)He has cast the lot for them;
his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it forever;
from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.
