Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Alagad sa Ginoo
42 Miingon ang Ginoo, “Ania ang akong alagad nga akong gilig-on. Ako siyang gipili ug nalipay ako kaniya. Gamhan ko siya sa akong Espiritu, ug magdala siyag katarungan ug kaangayan sa mga nasod. 2 Dili siya mosinggit o mosulti ug kusog diha sa mga kadalanan. 3 Dili niya pasagdan ang mga maluya sa pagtuo,[a] kay tabangan niya ang tanan bisan ang gamay lang gayod ug pagtuo. Sa iyang pagkamatinumanon ipatuman gayod niya ang hustisya. 4 Dili gayod siya moundang o mawad-ag paglaom hangtod nga mapatunhay niya ang hustisya ug kaangayan sa kalibotan. Ang mga tawo sa mga isla nagahulat sa iyang mga pagtulon-an.” 5 Mao kini ang giingon sa Dios, ang Ginoo nga nagbuhat sa kalangitan nga iyang gibukhad nga daw tela. Gibuhat niya ang kalibotan ug ang tanang anaa niini. Siya usab ang naghatag ug gininhawa sa mga tawo ug sa tanang mga binuhat nga anaa sa kalibotan. 6 Miingon siya sa iyang alagad, “Ako, ang Ginoo, mao ang nagtawag kanimo sa pagpakita sa akong pagkamatarong. Tabangan ug panalipdan ko ikaw, ug pinaagi kanimo mohimo akog kasabotan uban sa mga tawo. Himuon ko ikaw nga suga ngadto sa mga nasod, 7 aron mobuka ang mga mata sa mga buta ug mahatagag kagawasan ang mga binihag nga nabilanggo sa mangiob nga bilanggoan. 8 Ako mao ang Ginoo, mao kana ang akong ngalan! Dili ko ihatag ang akong pasidungog kang bisan kinsa o ang pagdayeg nga alang kanako ngadto sa mga dios-dios. 9 Ang akong mga giingon kaniadto natuman na, ug karon ipadayag ko ang mga bag-ong mga panghitabo sa dili pa kini moabot.”
Awit sa Pagdayeg sa Ginoo
10 Pag-awit kamo ug bag-ong awit ngadto sa Ginoo! Pag-awit kamo ug mga pagdayeg kaniya, bisan kamo nga anaa sa pinakalayong bahin sa kalibotan. Dayga ninyo siya, kamo nga nagalawig sa dagat ug tanan kamong mga binuhat nga anaa niini, ug kamong nagapuyo sa mga isla. 11 Dayga ninyo siya, kamong anaa sa mga lungsod sa kamingawan ug kamong mga lumulupyo sa Kedar. Pag-awit kamo sa kalipay, kamong mga katawhan sa Shela. Panghugyaw kamo gikan sa tumoy sa mga bukid. 12 Pasidunggi ug dayga ang Ginoo, kamong anaa sa mga isla. 13 Makig-away ang Ginoo sama sa usa ka sundalong kusgan ug isog. Mosinggit siya sa pagsulong, ug modaog siya batok sa iyang mga kaaway. 14 Moingon siya, “Sa taas nga panahon naghilom lang ako ug gipugngan ko ang akong kaugalingon. Apan karon mosinggit ako sama sa usa ka babayeng gapanganak. 15 Tumpagon ko ang mga bukid ug mga bungtod, ug palayaon ko ang mga tanom niini. Himuon ko ang mga suba nga malang yuta,[b] ug pahubsan ko ang mga katubigan. 16 Agakon ko ang akong katawhan nga mga buta sa kamatuoran ngadto sa dalan nga wala nila masinati ug maagii. Himuon kong kahayag ang kangitngit sa ilang agianan, ug patagon ko ang mga libaong nga mga dapit nga ilang pagalaktan. Himuon ko kini ug dili ko sila isalikway. 17 Apan kadtong nagsalig sa mga dios-dios ug nagaila sa tinunaw nga mga rebulto nga ilang dios-dios, mangikyas sa kaulaw.”
Ang Israel sama sa Bungol ug Buta
18 Miingon ang Ginoo sa iyang katawhan, “Kamong sama sa mga bungol ug buta, pamati kamo ug tan-aw! 19 Alagad ug pinili ko kamo. Mga mensahero ko kamo, apan walay makalabaw sa inyong pagkabuta ug pagkabungol. 20 Daghan na kamog nakita, apan wala ninyo tagda. Makadungog kamo, apan dili kamo mamati.”
21 Buot gayod sa Ginoo nga mapakita ang iyang pagkamatarong,[c] aron ang iyang kasugoan mapasidunggan. 22 Apan karon ang iyang katawhan gikawatan, giilogan sa ilang mga kabtangan, gipriso sa mga bangag o sa mga bilanggoan, ug wala gayoy nakatabang kanila. 23 Kinsa kaninyoy buot mamati o mohatag ug pagtagad niining inyong nadunggan gikan karon? 24 Kinsa ba ang nagtugot nga kawatan ug ilogan sa ilang kabtangan ang Israel? Dili ba ang Ginoo nga atong nasad-an? Kay wala nato sunda ang iyang mga pamaagi ug wala nato tumana ang iyang kasugoan. 25 Busa gipakita sa Ginoo ang iyang hilabihan nga kasuko kanato pinaagi sa pagpaantos kanato sa kapait sa gira. Ang iyang kasuko sama sa kalayo nga milukop ug misunog kanato, apan wala nato kini gihunahuna ug gitagad.
Isaiah 42
New International Version
Isaiah 42
New International Version
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)
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.
