Isaias 42
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
42 Narito, ang aking lingkod, na aking inaalalayan; ang aking hinirang, na kinalulugdan ng aking kaluluwa; isinakaniya ko ang aking Espiritu; siya'y maglalapat ng kahatulan sa mga bansa.
2 Siya'y hindi hihiyaw, o maglalakas man ng tinig, o iparirinig man ang kaniyang tinig sa lansangan.
3 Ang gapok na tambo ay hindi niya babaliin, ni ang timsim na umuusok ay hindi niya papatayin: siya'y maglalapat ng kahatulan sa katotohanan.
4 Siya'y hindi manglulupaypay o maduduwag man, hanggang sa maitatag niya ang kahatulan sa lupa; at ang mga pulo ay maghihintay sa kaniyang kautusan.
5 Ganito ang sabi ng Dios na Panginoon, na lumikha ng langit, at nagladlad ng mga yaon; siyang naglatag ng lupa at ng nagsisilitaw rito; siyang nagbibigay ng hinga sa bayang nito, at ng diwa sa kanila na nagsisilakad dito:
6 Ako, ang Panginoon, ay tumawag sa iyo sa katuwiran, at hahawak ng iyong kamay, at magiingat sa iyo, at ibibigay kita na pinakatipan sa bayan, na pinakaliwanag sa mga bansa;
7 Upang magdilat ng mga bulag na mata, upang maglabas ng mga bilanggo sa bilangguan, at nilang nangauupo sa kadiliman mula sa bilangguan.
8 Ako ang Panginoon; na siyang aking pangalan: at ang aking kaluwalhatian ay hindi ko ibibigay sa iba, o ang akin mang kapurihan sa mga larawang inanyuan.
9 Narito, ang mga dating bagay ay nangyayari na, at ang mga bagong bagay ay ipinahahayag ko: bago mangalitaw ay sinasaysay ko sa inyo.
10 Magsiawit kayo sa Panginoon ng bagong awit, at ng kapurihan niya na mula sa wakas ng lupa; kayong nagsisibaba sa dagat, at ang buong nariyan, ang mga pulo, at mga nananahan doon,
11 Mangaglakas ng kanilang tinig ang ilang at ang mga bayan niyaon, ang mga nayon na tinatahanan ng Cedar: magsiawit ang mga nananahan sa Selah, magsihiyaw sila mula sa mga taluktok ng mga bundok.
12 Mangagbigay luwalhati sila sa Panginoon, at mangagpahayag ng kaniyang kapurihan sa mga pulo.
13 Ang Panginoon ay lalabas na parang makapangyarihang lalake; siya'y pupukaw ng paninibugho na parang lalaking mangdidigma: siya'y hihiyaw, oo, siya'y hihiyaw ng malakas; siya'y gagawang makapangyarihan laban sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
14 Ako'y tumahimik ng malaon; ako'y hindi kumibo, at nagpigil ako: ngayo'y hihiyaw akong parang nagdaramdam na babae; ako'y manggigiba at mananakmal na paminsan.
15 Aking gagawing giba ang mga bundok at mga burol, at tutuyuin ko ang lahat nilang mga pananim; at gagawin kong mga pulo ang mga ilog, at aking tutuyuin ang mga lawa.
16 At aking dadalhin ang bulag sa daan na hindi nila nalalaman; sa mga landas na hindi nila nalalaman ay papatnubayan ko sila; aking gagawing kadiliman ang liwanag sa harap nila, at mga likong daan ang matuwid. Ang mga bagay na ito ay aking gagawin, at hindi ko kalilimutan sila.
17 Sila'y mangapapaurong, sila'y mangapapahiyang mainam, na nagsisitiwala sa mga larawang inanyuan, na nangagsasabi sa mga larawang binubo, Kayo'y aming mga dios.
18 Makinig kayong mga bingi; at tumingin kayong mga bulag, upang kayo'y mangakakita.
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 sa akin, at bulag na gaya ng lingkod ng Panginoon?
20 Ikaw ay nakakakita ng maraming bagay, nguni't hindi mo binubulay; ang kaniyang mga tainga ay bukas, nguni't hindi niya dininig.
21 Kinalulugdan ng Panginoon dahil sa kaniyang katuwiran, na dakilain ang kautusan, at gawing marangal.
22 Nguni't ito ay isang bayang nanakaw at nasamsam; silang lahat ay nangasilo sa mga hukay, at sila'y nangakubli sa mga bilangguan: sila'y pinaka huli at walang magligtas; pinaka samsam, at walang magsabi, Iyong papanumbalikin.
23 Sino sa gitna ninyo ang makikinig nito? na makikinig at didinig para sa panahong darating?
24 Sino ang nagbigay ng Jacob na pinaka samsam, at ng Israel sa mga magnanakaw? di baga ang Panginoon? na laban sa kaniya ay nangagkasala tayo, at sa mga daan niya ay hindi sila nagsilakad, o naging masunurin man sila sa kaniyang kautusan.
25 Kaya't ibinugso niya sa kaniya ang pusok ng kaniyang galit, at ang lakas ng pakikipagbaka; at sinulsulan siya ng apoy sa palibot, gayon ma'y hindi niya naalaman; at sinunog siya, gayon ma'y hindi siya naglagak ng kalooban.
Isaiah 42
King James Version
42 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
17 They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
18 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant?
20 Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
21 The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
23 Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Isaiah 42
English Standard Version
The Lord's Chosen Servant
42 (A)Behold (B)my servant, whom I uphold,
my chosen, (C)in whom my soul delights;
(D)I have put my Spirit upon him;
(E)he will bring forth justice to the nations.
2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice,
or make it heard in the street;
3 (F)a bruised reed he will not break,
and a faintly burning wick he will not quench;
(G)he will faithfully bring forth justice.
4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged[a]
till he has established justice in the earth;
and (H)the coastlands wait for his law.
5 Thus says God, the Lord,
who created the heavens (I)and stretched them out,
who spread out the earth and what comes from it,
(J)who gives breath to the people on it
and spirit to those who walk in it:
6 “I am the Lord; (K)I have called you[b] in righteousness;
I will take you by the hand and keep you;
I will give you (L)as a covenant for the people,
(M)a light for the nations,
7 (N)to open the eyes that are blind,
to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon,
(O)from the prison those who sit in darkness.
8 I am the Lord; that is my name;
(P)my glory I give to no other,
nor my praise to carved idols.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
(Q)and new things I now declare;
before they spring forth
I tell you of them.”
Sing to the Lord a New Song
10 (R)Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise from the end of the earth,
(S)you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it,
(T)the coastlands and their inhabitants.
11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice,
the villages that (U)Kedar inhabits;
let the habitants of (V)Sela sing for joy,
let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Let them give glory to the Lord,
and declare his praise in (W)the coastlands.
13 (X)The Lord goes out like a mighty man,
like a man of war (Y)he stirs up his zeal;
he cries out, (Z)he shouts aloud,
he shows himself mighty against his foes.
14 For a long time I have held my peace;
I have kept still and restrained myself;
now I will cry out (AA)like a woman in labor;
I will gasp and pant.
15 (AB)I will lay waste mountains and hills,
and dry up all their vegetation;
I will turn the rivers into islands,[c]
and dry up the pools.
16 (AC)And I will lead the blind
in a way that they do not know,
in paths that they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
(AD)the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I do,
and I do not forsake them.
17 (AE)They are turned back and utterly put to shame,
who trust in carved idols,
who say to metal images,
“You are our gods.”
Israel's Failure to Hear and See
18 Hear, you deaf,
and look, you blind, that you may see!
19 Who is blind but my servant,
or deaf as my messenger whom I send?
Who is blind as my dedicated one,[d]
or blind as the servant of the Lord?
20 (AF)He sees many things, but does not observe them;
(AG)his ears are open, but he does not hear.
21 The Lord was pleased, for his righteousness' sake,
to magnify his law and make it glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered and looted;
they are all of them trapped in holes
(AH)and hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
will attend and listen for the time to come?
24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, (AI)but he did not understand;
it burned him up, (AJ)but he did not take it to heart.
