Isaias 49
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Israel ang Tanglaw sa mga Bansa
49 Makinig(A) kayo mga taong naninirahan sa malalayong mga bansa.
Pinili na ako ni Yahweh bago pa isilang, at hinirang niya ako para siya'y paglingkuran.
2 Mga(B) salita ko'y ginawa niyang singtalim ng espada,
siya ang sa aki'y laging nag-iingat.
Ginawa niya akong parang matulis na palaso
na anumang oras ay handang itudla.
3 Sinabi niya sa akin, “Israel, ikaw ay lingkod ko;
sa pamamagitan mo ako'y pupurihin ng mga tao.”
4 Ngunit ang sagot ko, “Ako ay nabigo sa aking pagsisikap,
hindi nagtagumpay gayong ibinuhos ko ang aking lakas.”
Gayunma'y ipinapaubaya ko kay Yahweh ang aking kalagayan,
na ako'y kanyang gagantimpalaan sa aking nakayanan.
5 Bago pa ako ipanganak ay hinirang na ni Yahweh;
pinili niya ako para maging lingkod niya,
upang tipunin ang bayang Israel na nagkawatak-watak.
Binigyan ako ni Yahweh ng karangalan,
sa kanya nagbubuhat ang aking kalakasan.
6 Sinabi(C) sa akin ni Yahweh:
“Israel na aking lingkod, may mas mahalaga pa akong ipapagawa sa iyo.
Bukod sa pagpapanumbalik sa mga Israelitang nalabi,
gagawin din kitang liwanag sa mga bansa
upang ang buong daigdig ay maligtas.”
7 Ganito ang sinabi ni Yahweh, ang Tagapagligtas ng Israel,
sa itinakwil at kinamuhian ng mga bansa
at inalipin ng mga pinuno:
“Makikita ng mga hari ang pagpapalaya sa iyo;
sila'y titindig bilang pagpaparangal sa iyo.
At yuyukod ang mga prinsipe bilang paggalang sa iyo,
sapagkat hinirang ka ni Yahweh, ang banal na Diyos ng Israel.”
Muling Itatayo ang Jerusalem
8 Sinabi(D) pa ni Yahweh sa kanyang bayan:
“Sa tamang panahon ay tinugon kita,
sa araw ng pagliligtas, sinaklolohan kita.
Iingatan kita at sa pamamagitan mo
gagawa ako ng kasunduan sa mga tao,
ibabalik kita sa sariling lupain
na ngayon ay wasak na.
9 Palalayain ko ang mga nasa bilangguan
at dadalhin sa liwanag ang mga nasa kadiliman.
Sila'y matutulad sa mga tupang
nanginginain sa masaganang pastulan.
10 Hindi(E) sila magugutom o mauuhaw,
hindi rin sila mabibilad sa matinding hangin at nakakapasong init sa disyerto,
sapagkat papatnubayan sila ng Diyos na nagmamahal sa kanila.
Sila'y gagabayan niya patungo sa bukal ng tubig.
11 Gagawa ako ng daan sa gitna ng kabundukan,
at ako'y maghahanda ng lansangan, upang maging daanan ng aking bayan.
12 Darating ang bayan ko buhat sa malayo,
mula sa hilaga at sa kanluran,
gayon din sa lupain ng Syene sa timog.”
13 O langit, magpuri ka sa tuwa!
Lupa, magalak ka, gayundin kayong mga bundok,
sapagkat inaaliw ni Yahweh ang kanyang hinirang,
sa gitna ng hirap ay kinahahabagan.
14 Ngunit ang sabi ng mga taga-Jerusalem,
“Pinabayaan na tayo ni Yahweh.
Nakalimutan na niya tayo.”
15 Ang sagot ni Yahweh,
“Malilimot kaya ng ina ang sarili niyang anak?
Hindi kaya niya mahalin ang sanggol niyang iniluwal?
Kung mayroon mang inang lumilimot sa kanyang anak,
hindi ko kayo kakalimutan kahit sandali.
16 Jerusalem, hinding-hindi kita malilimutan.
Pangalan mo'y nakaukit sa aking mga palad.
17 Malapit nang dumating ang muling magtatayo sa iyo,
at ang nagwasak sa iyo ay paalis na.
18 Tumingin ka sa paligid at masdan ang nangyayari.
Ang mga mamamayan mo'y nagtitipun-tipon na upang umuwi.
Ako si Yahweh, ang Diyos na buháy,
ang nagsasabi: ipagmamalaki mo sila balang araw,
tulad ng babaing ikakasal na suot ang kanyang mga alahas.
19 “Aking pinabayaan na mawasak ang iyong bansa,
ngunit ngayon ito'y magiging masikip sa dami ng tao;
at ang mga taong dumurog sa iyo
ay itatapon sa malayo.
20 Sasabihin ng mga anak mo balang araw
na isinilang sa pinagtapunan sa inyo:
‘Ang bayang ito'y maliit na para sa atin.
Kailangan natin ang mas malaking tirahan.’
21 Sasabihin mo naman sa iyong sarili,
‘Kaninong anak ang mga iyon?
Nawala ang mga anak ko, at ako nama'y hindi na magkakaanak.
Itinapon ako sa malayo,
ako'y iniwang nag-iisa.
Saan galing ang mga batang iyon?’”
22 Ang(F) sagot ng Panginoong Yahweh sa kanyang bayan:
“Huhudyatan ko ang mga bansa,
at ang mga anak mo'y iuuwi nila sa iyo.
23 Ang mga hari ay magiging parang iyong ama
at ang mga reyna'y magsisilbing ina.
Buong pagpapakababang yuyukod sila sa iyo
bilang tanda ng kanilang paggalang;
sa gayon ay malalaman mong ako nga si Yahweh.
Hindi mapapahiya ang sinumang magtiwala sa akin.”
24 Mababawi pa ba ang nasamsam ng isang kawal?
Maililigtas pa ba ang bihag ng isang taong malupit?
25 Ang sagot ni Yahweh:
“Ganyan ang mangyayari.
Itatakas ng mga kawal ang kanilang bihag,
at babawiin ang sinamsam ng malupit.
Ako ang haharap sa sinumang lalaban sa iyo,
at ililigtas ko ang iyong mga anak.
26 Hihimukin kong magpatayan ang mga umaapi sa inyo.
Mag-aalab ang kanilang poot, at mahuhumaling sa pagpatay.
Sa gayon makikilala ng sangkatauhan na akong si Yahweh ang Makapangyarihang Diyos,
ang nagligtas sa Israel.”

The servant of the Lord
49 Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
before I was born the Lord called me;
from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow
and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, ‘You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will display my splendour.’
4 But I said, ‘I have laboured in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due to me is in the Lord’s hand,
and my reward is with my God.’
5 And now the Lord says –
he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
and gather Israel to himself,
for I am[a] honoured in the eyes of the Lord
and my God has been my strength –
6 he says:
‘It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.’
7 This is what the Lord says –
the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel –
to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation,
to the servant of rulers:
‘Kings will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.’
Restoration of Israel
8 This is what the Lord says:
‘In the time of my favour I will answer you,
and in the day of salvation I will help you;
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people,
to restore the land
and to reassign its desolate inheritances,
9 to say to the captives, “Come out,”
and to those in darkness, “Be free!”
‘They will feed beside the roads
and find pasture on every barren hill.
10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,
nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them.
He who has compassion on them will guide them
and lead them beside springs of water.
11 I will turn all my mountains into roads,
and my highways will be raised up.
12 See, they will come from afar –
some from the north, some from the west,
some from the region of Aswan.’[b]
13 Shout for joy, you heavens;
rejoice, you earth;
burst into song, you mountains!
For the Lord comforts his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.
14 But Zion said, ‘The Lord has forsaken me,
the Lord has forgotten me.’
15 ‘Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
17 Your children hasten back,
and those who laid you waste depart from you.
18 Lift up your eyes and look around;
all your children gather and come to you.
As surely as I live,’ declares the Lord,
‘you will wear them all as ornaments;
you will put them on, like a bride.
19 ‘Though you were ruined and made desolate
and your land laid waste,
now you will be too small for your people,
and those who devoured you will be far away.
20 The children born during your bereavement
will yet say in your hearing,
“This place is too small for us;
give us more space to live in.”
21 Then you will say in your heart,
“Who bore me these?
I was bereaved and barren;
I was exiled and rejected.
Who brought these up?
I was left all alone,
but these – where have they come from?”’
22 This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
‘See, I will beckon to the nations,
I will lift up my banner to the peoples;
they will bring your sons in their arms
and carry your daughters on their hips.
23 Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground;
they will lick the dust at your feet.
Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed.’
24 Can plunder be taken from warriors,
or captives be rescued from the fierce?[c]
25 But this is what the Lord says:
‘Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.
26 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.
Then all mankind will know
that I, the Lord, am your Saviour,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.’
