Isaias 48
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Si Yahweh ang Diyos ng Panahong Darating
48 Dinggin mo ito, O bayang Israel, kayong nagmula sa lahi ni Juda,
sumumpa kayong maglilingkod kay Yahweh,
at sasambahin ang Diyos ng Israel,
ngunit hindi kayo naging tapat sa kanya.
2 Ipinagmamalaki ninyong kayo'y nakatira sa banal na lunsod;
at kayo'y umaasa sa Diyos ng Israel;
ang pangalan niya ay Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat.
3 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa Israel,
“Noong una pa'y alam ko na kung ano ang mangyayari. Pagkatapos ay bigla ko itong isinakatuparan.
4 Alam kong matitigas ang inyong ulo,
may leeg na parang bakal at noo na parang tanso.
5 Kaya noon pa,
ipinahayag ko na ang mangyayari sa iyo,
upang kung maganap na'y huwag ninyong isipin
na ang mga diyus-diyosan ang may gawa nito.
6 “Lahat ng pahayag ko ay pawang natupad,
inyo nang kilalanin ang katotohanan nito.
Ngayo'y may ihahayag akong bago,
mga bagay na hindi ko inihayag noon.
7 Ngayon ko pa lamang ito gagawin;
wala pang pangyayaring katulad nito noon
para hindi ninyo masabing ito'y alam na ninyo.
8 Alam kong hindi kayo mapagkakatiwalaan,
sapagkat lagi na lamang kayong naghihimagsik.
Kaya tungkol dito'y wala kayong alam,
kahit kapirasong balita'y walang natatanggap.
9 “Dahil na rin sa karangalan ko,
ako ay nagpigil,
dahil dito'y hindi ko na kayo lilipulin.
10 Sinubok ko kayo sa pamamagitan ng kahirapan,
kung paanong ang pilak ay dinadalisay sa apoy;
ngunit kayo'y napatunayang hindi nararapat.
11 Ang ginawa ko'y para na rin sa sariling kapakanan,
paghamak sa ngalan ko'y hindi ko pahihintulutan.
Ang karangalan ko'y tanging akin lamang,
walang makakahati kahit na sinuman.”
Si Ciro ang Pinunong Pinili ni Yahweh
12 Sinabi(A) ni Yahweh,
“Makinig ka sa akin, O Israel, bayang aking hinirang!
Ako lamang ang Diyos;
ako ang simula at ang wakas.
13 Ako ang lumikha sa pundasyon ng daigdig,
ako rin ang naglatag sa sangkalangitan;
kapag sila'y aking tinawag, agad silang tutugon.
14 “Magsama-sama kayo at makinig!
Walang nakaaalam isa man sa mga diyus-diyosan,
na ang hinirang ko ang lulusob sa Babilonia;
at gagawin niya ang lahat ng ipapagawa ko.
15 Ako ang tumawag sa kanya,
pinatnubayan ko siya at pinagtagumpay.
16 Kayo ay lumapit at pakinggan ang aking sasabihin.
Sa mula't mula pa'y hayagan ako kung magsalita
at ang sabihin ko'y aking ginagawa.”
Sa kapangyarihan ng espiritu ng Panginoong Yahweh, ako'y kanyang sinugo.
Ang Plano ni Yahweh sa Kanyang Bayan
17 Ganito ang sabi ng Banal na Diyos ng Israel,
ni Yahweh na sa iyo'y tumubos:
“Ako ang iyong Diyos na si Yahweh.
Tuturuan kita para sa iyong kabutihan,
papatnubayan kita sa daan na dapat mong lakaran.
18 “Kung sinusunod mo lang ang aking mga utos,
pagpapala sana'y dadaloy sa iyo,
parang ilog na hindi natutuyo ang agos.
Tagumpay mo sana ay sunud-sunod,
parang along gumugulong sa dalampasigan.
19 Ang iyong lahi ay magiging sindami sana ng buhangin sa dagat,
at tinitiyak kong hindi sila mapapahamak.”
20 Lisanin(B) ninyo ang Babilonia, takasan ninyo ang Caldea!
Buong galak na inyong ihayag sa lahat ng lugar
na iniligtas ni Yahweh ang lingkod niyang si Israel.
21 Nang patnubayan ni Yahweh ang bayang Israel, sa pagtawid sa malawak at mainit na disyerto,
hindi ito nauhaw bahagya man
sapagkat binutas niya ang isang malaking bato, at ang tubig ay bumukal.
22 Ang(C) sabi ni Yahweh, “Walang kapayapaan ang mga makasalanan!”
Isaiah 48
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Israel Must Leave Babylon
48 ‘Listen to this, house of Jacob –
those who are called by the name Israel
and have descended from[a] Judah,(A)
who swear by the name of the Lord(B)
and declare the God of Israel,
but not in truth or righteousness.
2 For they are named after the holy city,
and lean on the God of Israel;(C)
his name is the Lord of Armies.
3 I declared the past events long ago;
they came out of my mouth; I proclaimed them.
Suddenly I acted, and they occurred.
4 Because I know that you are stubborn,
and your neck is iron[b]
and your forehead bronze,(D)
5 therefore I declared to you long ago.
I announced it to you before it occurred,
so you could not claim, “My idol caused them;
my carved image and cast idol control them.”(E)
6 You have heard it. Observe it all.
Will you not acknowledge it?
From now on I will announce new things to you,
hidden things that you have not known.(F)
7 They have been created now, and not long ago;
you have not heard of them before today,
so you could not claim, “I already knew them! ”
8 You have never heard; you have never known;
for a long time your ears have not been open.
For I knew that you were very treacherous,
and were known as a rebel from birth.(G)
9 I will delay my anger for the sake of my name,
and I will restrain myself for your benefit and for my praise,
so that you will not be destroyed.
10 Look, I have refined you,(H) but not as silver;
I have tested[c] you in the furnace of affliction.
11 I will act for my own sake, indeed, my own,(I)
for how can I[d] be defiled?
I will not give my glory to another.(J)
12 ‘Listen to me, Jacob,
and Israel, the one called by me:
I am he; I am the first,
I am also the last.(K)
13 My own hand founded the earth,
and my right hand spread out the heavens;(L)
when I summoned them,
they stood up together.
14 All of you, assemble and listen!
Who among the idols[e] has declared these things?
The Lord loves him;[f]
he will accomplish his will against Babylon,(M)
and his arm will be against the Chaldeans.
15 I – I have spoken;
yes, I have called him;(N)
I have brought him,
and he will succeed in his mission.(O)
16 Approach me and listen to this.
From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;(P)
from the time anything existed, I was there.’
And now the Lord God
has sent me and his Spirit.(Q)
17 This is what the Lord, your Redeemer,(R) the Holy One of Israel(S) says:
I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you for your benefit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention to my commands.
Then your peace would have been like a river,(T)
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.(U)
19 Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand,(V)
and the offspring of your body like its grains;
their name would not be cut off
or eliminated from my presence.
20 Leave Babylon,
flee from the Chaldeans!
Declare with a shout of joy,
proclaim this,
let it go out to the end of the earth;
announce,
‘The Lord has redeemed his servant(W) Jacob! ’
21 They did not thirst
when he led them through the deserts;
he made water flow from the rock for them;(X)
he split the rock, and water gushed out.
22 ‘There is no peace for the wicked,’ says the Lord.(Y)
Isaiah 48
King James Version
48 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the Lord, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
2 For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The Lord of hosts is his name.
3 I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
4 Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
5 I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
7 They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
8 Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
9 For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
11 For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
13 Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
14 All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The Lord hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
20 Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The Lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
22 There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
