Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Lingkod ng Panginoon
42 Narito(A) (B) ang aking lingkod, na aking inaalalayan;
ang aking hinirang, na kinalulugdan ng aking kaluluwa.
Inilagay ko ang aking Espiritu sa kanya;
siya'y maglalapat ng katarungan sa mga bansa.
2 Siya'y hindi sisigaw, o maglalakas man ng tinig,
o ang kanyang tinig man sa lansangan ay iparirinig.
3 Ang gapok na tambo ay hindi niya babaliin,
ni ang mitsa na bahagyang nagniningas ay hindi niya papatayin;
siya'y tapat na maglalapat ng katarungan.
4 Siya'y hindi manlulupaypay o madudurog man,
hanggang sa maitatag niya sa lupa ang katarungan;
at ang mga pulo ay maghihintay sa kanyang kautusan.
5 Ganito(C) ang sabi ng Diyos, ang Panginoon,
na lumikha ng langit, at nagladlad ng mga iyon;
siyang naglatag ng lupa at ang nagmula rito,
siyang nagbibigay ng hininga sa mga tao nito,
at ng espiritu sa kanila na nagsisilakad dito:
6 “Ako(D) ang Panginoon, tinawag ko kayo sa katuwiran,
kinuha ko kayo sa pamamagitan ng kamay, at kayo'y iniingatan,
at ibinigay kita sa bayan bilang tipan,
isang liwanag sa mga bayan,
7 upang imulat ang mga bulag na mata,
upang ilabas ang mga bilanggo sa bilangguan,
at silang nakaupo sa kadiliman mula sa bilangguan.
8 Ako ang Panginoon, iyon ang aking pangalan;
hindi ko ibibigay sa iba ang aking kaluwalhatian,
o ang akin mang kapurihan sa mga larawang inanyuan.
9 Narito, ang mga dating bagay ay lumipas na,
at ang mga bagong bagay ay ipinahahayag ko;
bago sila lumitaw
ay sinasabi ko sa inyo ang tungkol sa kanila.”
Pagpupuri sa Diyos Dahil sa Pagliligtas
10 Umawit kayo sa Panginoon ng bagong awit,
at ng kapurihan niya mula sa dulo ng lupa!
Kayong bumababa sa dagat at ang lahat na nariyan,
ang mga pulo, at mga doon ay naninirahan.
11 Maglakas ng kanilang tinig ang ilang at ang mga bayan niyon,
ang mga nayon na tinitirhan ng Kedar;
umawit ang mga naninirahan sa Sela,
magsigawan sila mula sa mga tuktok ng mga bundok.
12 Magbigay-luwalhati sila sa Panginoon,
at magpahayag ng kanyang kapurihan sa mga pulo.
13 Ang Panginoon ay lalabas na parang mandirigma,
pinupukaw niya ang kanyang galit na parang lalaking mandirigma;
siya'y sisigaw, oo, siya'y sisigaw nang malakas,
at magtatagumpay laban sa kanyang mga kaaway.
14 Ako'y tumahimik nang matagal,
ako'y hindi kumibo, at nagpigil ako;
ngayo'y sisigaw akong parang nanganganak na babae,
ako'y hihingal at hahapuin.
15 Ang mga bundok at mga burol ay aking wawasakin,
at ang lahat nilang mga pananim ay aking tutuyuin;
ang mga ilog ay gagawin kong mga pulo,
at ang mga lawa ay aking tutuyuin.
16 At aking aakayin ang bulag
sa daan na hindi nila nalalaman;
sa mga landas na hindi nila nalalaman
sila ay aking papatnubayan.
Aking gagawing liwanag ang kadiliman sa kanilang harapan,
at ang mga baku-bakong lugar ay papatagin.
Ang mga bagay na ito ay aking gagawin sa kanila,
at hindi ko sila pababayaan.
17 Sila'y mapapaurong at ganap na mapapahiya,
sila na sa mga larawang inanyuan ay nagtitiwala,
na nagsasabi sa mga larawang hinulma,
“Kayo'y aming mga diyos.”
Bigong Karanasan ng Israel
18 Makinig kayong mga bingi;
at tumingin kayong mga bulag, upang kayo'y makakita!
19 Sino ang bulag kundi ang aking lingkod,
o ang bingi, na gaya ng aking sugo na aking sinusugo?
Sino ang bulag na gaya niya na nasa kapayapaan,
at bulag na gaya ng lingkod ng Panginoon?
20 Ikaw na nakakakita ng maraming bagay, ngunit hindi mo ginagawa ang mga ito;
ang kanyang mga tainga ay bukas, ngunit hindi siya nakakarinig.
21 Nalugod ang Panginoon, alang-alang sa kanyang katuwiran,
upang dakilain ang kanyang kautusan at gawing marangal.
22 Ngunit ito ay isang bayang ninakawan at sinamsaman,
silang lahat ay nasilo sa mga hukay,
at nakakubli sa mga bilangguan;
sila'y naging biktima at walang magligtas,
isang samsam, at walang magsabi, “Iyong panunumbalikin!”
23 Sino sa inyo ang makikinig nito,
na papansin at makikinig para sa panahong darating?
24 Sino ang nagbigay ng Jacob sa mananamsam,
at ng Israel sa mga magnanakaw?
Hindi ba ang Panginoon, na laban sa kanya ay nagkasala tayo,
at hindi sila magsilakad sa kanyang mga daan,
o naging masunurin man sila sa kanyang kautusan?
25 Kaya't ibinuhos niya sa kanya ang init ng kanyang galit,
at ang lakas ng pakikipagbaka;
at nilagyan siya nito ng apoy sa palibot, gayunma'y hindi niya nalaman;
at sinunog siya nito, gayunma'y hindi niya ito inilagay sa kanyang puso.
Isaiah 42
New King James Version
Isaiah 42
New King James Version
The Servant of the Lord
42 “Behold! (A)My Servant whom I uphold,
My [a]Elect One in whom My soul (B)delights!
(C)I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed He will not break,
And [b]smoking flax He will not [c]quench;
He will bring forth justice for truth.
4 He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
(D)And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
5 Thus says God the Lord,
(E)Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
(F)Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
6 “I,(G) the Lord, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You (H)and give You as a covenant to the people,
As (I)a light to the Gentiles,
7 (J)To open blind eyes,
To (K)bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in (L)darkness from the prison house.
8 I am the Lord, that is My name;
And My (M)glory I will not give to another,
Nor My praise to carved images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them.”
Praise to the Lord
10 (N)Sing to the Lord a new song,
And His praise from the ends of the earth,
(O)You who go down to the sea, and [d]all that is in it,
You coastlands and you inhabitants of them!
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice,
The villages that Kedar inhabits.
Let the inhabitants of Sela sing,
Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord,
And declare His praise in the coastlands.
13 The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, (P)yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies.
Promise of the Lord’s Help
14 “I have held My peace a long time,
I have been still and restrained Myself.
Now I will cry like a woman in [e]labor,
I will pant and gasp at once.
15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills,
And dry up all their vegetation;
I will make the rivers coastlands,
And I will dry up the pools.
16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know;
I will lead them in paths they have not known.
I will make darkness light before them,
And crooked places straight.
These things I will do for them,
And not forsake them.
17 They shall be (Q)turned back,
They shall be greatly ashamed,
Who trust in carved images,
Who say to the molded images,
‘You are our gods.’
18 “Hear, you deaf;
And look, you blind, that you may see.
19 (R)Who is blind but My servant,
Or deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as he who is perfect,
And blind as the Lord’s servant?
20 Seeing many things, (S)but you do not observe;
Opening the ears, but he does not hear.”
Israel’s Obstinate Disobedience
21 The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake;
He will exalt the law and make it honorable.
22 But this is a people robbed and plundered;
All of them are [f]snared in holes,
And they are hidden in prison houses;
They are for prey, and no one delivers;
For plunder, and no one says, “Restore!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this?
Who will listen and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for plunder, and Israel to the robbers?
Was it not the Lord,
He against whom we have sinned?
(T)For they would not walk in His ways,
Nor were they obedient to His law.
25 Therefore He has poured on him the fury of His anger
And the strength of battle;
(U)It has set him on fire all around,
(V)Yet he did not know;
And it burned him,
Yet he did not take it to (W)heart.

The Servant of the Lord
42 “Here is my servant,(A) whom I uphold,
my chosen one(B) in whom I delight;(C)
I will put my Spirit(D) on him,
and he will bring justice(E) to the nations.(F)
2 He will not shout or cry out,(G)
or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed(H) he will not break,(I)
and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.(J)
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;(K)
4 he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice(L) on earth.
In his teaching(M) the islands(N) will put their hope.”(O)
5 This is what God the Lord says—
the Creator of the heavens,(P) who stretches them out,
who spreads out the earth(Q) with all that springs from it,(R)
who gives breath(S) to its people,
and life to those who walk on it:
6 “I, the Lord, have called(T) you in righteousness;(U)
I will take hold of your hand.(V)
I will keep(W) you and will make you
to be a covenant(X) for the people
and a light(Y) for the Gentiles,(Z)
7 to open eyes that are blind,(AA)
to free(AB) captives from prison(AC)
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.(AD)
8 “I am the Lord;(AE) that is my name!(AF)
I will not yield my glory to another(AG)
or my praise to idols.(AH)
9 See, the former things(AI) have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce(AJ) them to you.”
Song of Praise to the Lord
10 Sing(AK) to the Lord a new song,(AL)
his praise(AM) from the ends of the earth,(AN)
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,(AO)
you islands,(AP) and all who live in them.
11 Let the wilderness(AQ) and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar(AR) lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela(AS) sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.(AT)
12 Let them give glory(AU) to the Lord
and proclaim his praise(AV) in the islands.(AW)
13 The Lord will march out like a champion,(AX)
like a warrior(AY) he will stir up his zeal;(AZ)
with a shout(BA) he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.(BB)
14 “For a long time I have kept silent,(BC)
I have been quiet and held myself back.(BD)
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.(BE)
15 I will lay waste(BF) the mountains(BG) and hills
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn rivers into islands
and dry up(BH) the pools.
16 I will lead(BI) the blind(BJ) by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light(BK) before them
and make the rough places smooth.(BL)
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake(BM) them.
17 But those who trust in idols,
who say to images, ‘You are our gods,’(BN)
will be turned back in utter shame.(BO)
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 “Hear, you deaf;(BP)
look, you blind, and see!
19 Who is blind(BQ) but my servant,(BR)
and deaf like the messenger(BS) I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant(BT) with me,
blind like the servant of the Lord?
20 You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen.”(BU)
21 It pleased the Lord
for the sake(BV) of his righteousness
to make his law(BW) great and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered(BX) and looted,
all of them trapped in pits(BY)
or hidden away in prisons.(BZ)
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;(CA)
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
23 Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention(CB) in time to come?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel to the plunderers?(CC)
Was it not the Lord,(CD)
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow(CE) his ways;
they did not obey his law.(CF)
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger,(CG)
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames,(CH) yet they did not understand;(CI)
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.(CJ)
