Isaias 56
Magandang Balita Biblia (with Deuterocanon)
Ang Lahat ng Bansa ay Mapapasama sa Bayan ng Diyos
56 Ang sabi ni Yahweh sa kanyang bayan:
“Panatilihin ang katarungan at gawin ang tama,
sapagkat ang pagliligtas ko'y hindi na magtatagal,
at ang aking tagumpay ay mahahayag na.
2 Mapalad ang taong nagsasagawa nito,
siya na tumatalima sa tuntuning ito.
Iginagalang niya ang Araw ng Pamamahinga,
at lumalayo sa gawang masama.”
3 Hindi dapat sabihin ng isang dayuhang nakipagkaisa sa bayan ng Diyos,
na siya'y hindi papayagan ni Yahweh na makisama sa pagsamba ng kanyang bayan.
Hindi dapat isipin ng mga eunuko na hindi sila karapat-dapat na mapabilang sa bayan ng Diyos
sapagkat hindi sila magkakaanak.
4 Ang(A) sabi ni Yahweh:
“Sa mga eunukong gumagalang sa Araw ng Pamamahinga,
na gumagawa ng mga bagay na nakalulugod sa akin
at tapat na iniingatan ang aking kasunduan.
5 Ang pangalan mo'y aalalahanin sa aking Templo at sa gitna ng aking bayan
nang mas matagal kaysa paggunita sa iyo,
kung ikaw ay nagkaroon ng mga anak.
Hindi ka malilimot kahit kailan.”
6 Ito naman ang sabi ni Yahweh sa mga dating dayuhan na ngayo'y kabilang sa kanyang bayan,
buong pusong naglilingkod sa kanya,
iginagalang ang Araw ng Pamamahinga,
at matapat na nag-iingat sa kanyang tipan:
7 “Dadalhin(B) ko kayo sa banal na bundok.
Ipadarama ko sa inyo ang kagalakan sa aking Templo.
Malulugod ako sa inyong mga handog;
at ang aking tahanan ay tatawaging bahay-dalanginan ng lahat ng bansa.”
8 Ipinangako pa ng Panginoong Yahweh,
sa mga Israelitang ibinalik niya mula sa pagkatapon,
na marami pa siyang isasama sa kanila
para mapabilang sa kanyang bayan.
Hinatulan ang mga Pinuno ng Israel
9 Tinawag ni Yahweh ang ibang mga bansa upang salakayin at wasakin ang kanyang bayan,
tulad ng pagsalakay ng mababangis na hayop mula sa kagubatan.
10 Ang sabi niya, “Bulag ang mga pinuno na dapat magpaalala sa mga tao.
Wala silang nalalaman.
Para silang mga asong hindi marunong tumahol.
Ang alam lang nila'y magyabang at mangarap.
Ang ibig ay laging matulog.
11 Para silang asong gutom,
walang kabusugan;
sila'y mga pastol na walang pang-unawa.
Ginagawa nila ang anumang magustuhan
at walang iniisip kundi sariling kapakanan.
12 Ang sabi nila, “Halikayo, at kumuha kayo ng alak,
uminom tayo hanggang mayroon.
Mag-iinuman muli tayo bukas
nang mas marami kaysa ngayon!”
Isaiah 56
King James Version
56 Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Isaiah 56
New International Version
Salvation for Others
56 This is what the Lord says:
“Maintain justice(A)
and do what is right,(B)
for my salvation(C) is close at hand
and my righteousness(D) will soon be revealed.
2 Blessed(E) is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(F) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner(G) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(H)
And let no eunuch(I) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(J) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(K)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(L)
a memorial(M) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(N)
that will endure forever.(O)
6 And foreigners(P) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(Q) to him,
to love the name(R) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(S) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(T)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(U)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(V)”(W)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(X) still others to them
besides those already gathered.”
God’s Accusation Against the Wicked
9 Come, all you beasts of the field,(Y)
come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
10 Israel’s watchmen(Z) are blind,
they all lack knowledge;(AA)
they are all mute dogs,
they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
they love to sleep.(AB)
11 They are dogs with mighty appetites;
they never have enough.
They are shepherds(AC) who lack understanding;(AD)
they all turn to their own way,(AE)
they seek their own gain.(AF)
12 “Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!(AG)
Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
or even far better.”(AH)
Isaiah 56
English Standard Version
Salvation for Foreigners
56 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
(A)for soon my salvation will come,
and my righteousness be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
(B)who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not (C)the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am (D)a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs (E)who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 (F)I will give in my house and within my walls
a (G)monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
(H)I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
6 “And (I)the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
everyone (J)who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
7 (K)these I will bring to (L)my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
(M)their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for (N)my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.”
8 The Lord God,
(O)who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
(P)“I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered.”
Israel's Irresponsible Leaders
9 (Q)All you beasts of the field, come to devour—
all you beasts in the forest.
10 (R)His watchmen are blind;
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent (S)dogs;
they cannot bark,
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
11 (T)The dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
But (U)they are shepherds who have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
(V)each to his own gain, one and all.
12 (W)“Come,” they say, “let me get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
(X)and tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”
