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
New International Reader's Version
The Lord Will Save Those Who Come to Him
56 The Lord says,
“Do what is fair and right.
I will soon come and save you.
Soon everyone will know that what I do is right.
2 Blessed is the person who does what I want them to.
They are faithful in keeping the Sabbath day.
They do not misuse it.
They do not do what is evil on that day.”
3 Suppose an outsider wants to follow the Lord.
Then that person shouldn’t say,
“The Lord won’t accept me as one of his people.”
And a eunuch shouldn’t say,
“I’m like a dry tree
that doesn’t bear any fruit.”
4 The Lord says,
“Suppose some eunuchs keep my Sabbath days.
They choose to do what pleases me.
And they are faithful in keeping my covenant.
5 Then I will set up a monument in the area of my temple.
Their names will be written on it.
That will be better for them than having sons and daughters.
The names of the eunuchs will be remembered forever.
They will never be forgotten.
6 “Suppose outsiders want to follow me
and serve me.
They want to love me
and worship me.
They keep the Sabbath day and do not misuse it.
And they are faithful in keeping my covenant.
7 Then I will bring them to my holy mountain of Zion.
I will give them joy in my house.
They can pray there.
I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices on my altar.
My house will be called
a house where people from all nations can pray.”
8 The Lord and King will gather
those who were taken away from their homes in Israel.
He announces, “I will gather them to myself.
And I will gather others to join them.”
The Lord Judges Israel’s Evil Leaders
9 Come, all you enemy nations! Come like wild animals.
Come and destroy like animals in the forest.
10 Israel’s prophets are blind.
They don’t know the Lord.
All of them are like watchdogs that can’t even bark.
They just lie around and dream.
They love to sleep.
11 They are like dogs that love to eat.
They never get enough.
They are like shepherds who don’t have any understanding.
All of them do as they please.
They only look for what they can get for themselves.
12 “Come!” they shout. “Let’s get some wine!
Let’s drink all the beer we can!
Tomorrow we’ll do the same thing.
And that will be even better than today.”
