Isaias 57
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Walay Pulos ang mga dios-dios sa Israel
57 Kon mamatay ang usa ka tawong matarong, walay mangutana kon ngano. Walay makasabot nga gikuha sa Dios ang mga tawong diosnon aron makalikay sa kadaotan. 2 Kon mamatay ang usa ka tawong matarong, makapahulay na siya ug magmalinawon.
3 Apan kamong mga anak sa babayeng mamamarang, sa mananapaw, ug sa babayeng nagabaligya sa iyang dungog, duol kamo. 4 Gibiaybiay ninyo ang mga matarong. Inyo silang gihiwian ug gidiwaldiwalan. Mga kaliwat kamo sa mga masinupakon ug mga bakakon. 5 Gisimba ninyo ang inyong mga dios-dios pinaagi sa pagpakighilawas ilalom sa punoan sa mga kahoy nga gipakabalaan ninyo. Gihalad pa ninyo ang inyong mga anak diha sa mga lugut, diha sa mga bangag sa dagkong mga bato. 6 Ang hamis nga mga bato sa mga lugut mao ang inyong mga dios. Gisimba ninyo kini pinaagi sa paghalad ug mga halad nga ilimnon ug mga halad sa pagpasidungog. Malipay ba ako niining inyong gihimo? 7 Motungas kamo sa tag-as nga bukid ug maghalad didto ug makighilawas. 8 Gibutang pa gayod ninyo ang mga imahen sa inyong mga dios-dios luyo sa pultahan sa inyong mga balay. Inyo akong gisalikway. Sama kamo sa babayeng mananapaw nga misaka sa iyang lapad nga katre ug nakigsabot sa iyang mga lalaki. Malipay gayod siyang nakighilawas sa iyang mga laki.
9 Miadto kamo sa inyong dios-dios nga si Molec nga may dalang lana ug daghang mga pahumot. Nagsugo pa kamog mga tawo nga mangitag mga dios-dios sa layong mga dapit aron inyong simbahon. Bisan ang dapit sa mga patay daw sa paadtoan pa ninyo. 10 Bisag gikapoyan na kamo sa pagpangita sa mga dios-dios, wala gihapon kamo mawad-ig paglaom. Gipalig-on ninyo ang inyong kaugalingon, busa wala gayod kamo maluya.
11 Miingon ang Ginoo, “Kinsa ba kining mga dios-dios nga inyong gikalisangan nga namakak man kamo kanako? Gikalimtan ninyo ako ug wala kamo magtagad kanako. Unsa bay hinungdan nga wala na man kamo motahod kanako? Tungod ba kay nagpakahilom lang ako sulod sa taas nga panahon? 12 Naghunahuna kamo nga matarong na gayod ang inyong gihimo, apan ipakita ko kon unsa gayod kamong matanga sa tawo. Ug dili makatabang kaninyo ang inyong mga dios-dios. 13 Oo, dili gayod makatabang ang mga dios-dios kon mangayo kamog tabang kanila. Paliron silang tanan sa hangin; mapalid sila sa usa lang ka huyop. Apan ang nagsalig kanako magapuyo sa yuta[a] ug mosimba didto sa akong balaan nga bukid. 14 Ako moingon, ‘Ayoha ang dalan. Kuhaa ang mga babag sa agianan sa akong katawhan.’ ”
15 Mao usab kini ang giingon sa Labing Halangdong Dios, ang Balaang Dios nga nagakinabuhi sa walay kataposan, “Nagapuyo ako sa habog ug balaang dapit. Apan nagapuyo usab ako uban sa mga tawo nga mapainubsanon ug mahinulsulon aron mapalig-on ko sila. 16 Sa pagkatinuod, dili ako makigbatok o masuko hangtod sa hangtod, kay kon himuon ko kini, mangamatay ang mga tawo nga akong gihimo. 17 Nasuko ako tungod sa sala ug pagkahakog sa Israel, busa gisilotan ko sila ug gitalikdan. Apan nagpadayon gihapon sila sa pagpakasala. 18 Nakita ko ang ilang pagkinabuhi, apan ayohon ko sila. Giyahan ko sila, ug lipayon ko ang mga nagsubo uban kanila. 19 Ug unya modayeg sila kanako. Hatagan ko silag maayong kahimtang—atua man sila sa layo o sa duol. Ayohon ko gayod sila. Ako, ang Ginoo, ang nagaingon niini. 20 Apan ang mga daotan walay kalinaw. Sama sila sa baloron nga dagat nga nagatulod sa mga sagbot ug hugaw sa daplin. 21 Dili gayod makaangkon ang mga daotan ug maayo nga kahimtang.” Mao kini ang giingon sa akong Dios.

Israel’s Futile Idolatry
57 The righteous perishes,
And no man takes it to heart;
(A)Merciful men are taken away,
(B)While no one considers
That the righteous is taken away from [a]evil.
2 He shall enter into peace;
They shall rest in (C)their beds,
Each one walking in his uprightness.
3 “But come here,
(D)You sons of the sorceress,
You offspring of the adulterer and the harlot!
4 Whom do you ridicule?
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
And stick out the tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
Offspring of falsehood,
5 Inflaming yourselves with gods (E)under every green tree,
(F)Slaying the children in the valleys,
Under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth (G)stones of the stream
Is your portion;
They, they, are your lot!
Even to them you have poured a drink offering,
You have offered a grain offering.
Should I receive comfort in (H)these?
7 “On(I) a lofty and high mountain
You have set (J)your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
8 Also behind the doors and their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And [b]made a covenant with them;
(K)You have loved their bed,
Where you saw their [c]nudity.
9 (L)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your (M)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
10 You are wearied in the length of your way;
(N)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.
11 “And (O)of whom have you been afraid, or feared,
That you have lied
And not remembered Me,
Nor taken it to your heart?
Is it not because (P)I have [d]held My peace from of old
That you do not fear Me?
12 I will declare your righteousness
And your works,
For they will not profit you.
13 When you cry out,
Let your collection of idols deliver you.
But the wind will carry them all away,
A breath will take them.
But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land,
And shall inherit My holy mountain.”
Healing for the Backslider
14 And one shall say,
(Q)“Heap it up! Heap it up!
Prepare the way,
Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”
15 For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, (R)whose name is Holy:
(S)“I dwell in the high and holy place,
(T)With him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
(U)To revive the spirit of the humble,
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 (V)For I will not contend forever,
Nor will I always be angry;
For the spirit would fail before Me,
And the souls (W)which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of (X)his covetousness
I was angry and struck him;
(Y)I hid and was angry,
(Z)And he went on [e]backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and (AA)will heal him;
I will also lead him,
And restore comforts to him
And to (AB)his mourners.
19 “I create (AC)the fruit of the lips:
Peace, peace (AD)to him who is far off and to him who is near,”
Says the Lord,
“And I will heal him.”
20 (AE)But the wicked are like the troubled sea,
When it cannot rest,
Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 “There(AF) is no peace,”
Says my God, “for the wicked.”

King James Version
Isaiah 57
King James Version
57 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
10 Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
14 And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
19 I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah 57
New International Version
Isaiah 57
New International Version
57 The righteous perish,(A)
and no one takes it to heart;(B)
the devout are taken away,
and no one understands
that the righteous are taken away
to be spared from evil.(C)
2 Those who walk uprightly(D)
enter into peace;
they find rest(E) as they lie in death.
3 “But you—come here, you children of a sorceress,(F)
you offspring of adulterers(G) and prostitutes!(H)
4 Who are you mocking?
At whom do you sneer
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not a brood of rebels,(I)
the offspring of liars?
5 You burn with lust among the oaks(J)
and under every spreading tree;(K)
you sacrifice your children(L) in the ravines
and under the overhanging crags.
6 The idols(M) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings(N)
and offered grain offerings.
In view of all this, should I relent?(O)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(P)
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(Q)
8 Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,(R)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(S)
9 You went to Molek[a](T) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(U)
You sent your ambassadors[b](V) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(W)
10 You wearied(X) yourself by such going about,
but you would not say, ‘It is hopeless.’(Y)
You found renewal of your strength,(Z)
and so you did not faint.
11 “Whom have you so dreaded and feared(AA)
that you have not been true to me,
and have neither remembered(AB) me
nor taken this to heart?(AC)
Is it not because I have long been silent(AD)
that you do not fear me?
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works,(AE)
and they will not benefit you.
13 When you cry out(AF) for help,
let your collection of idols save(AG) you!
The wind will carry all of them off,
a mere breath will blow(AH) them away.
But whoever takes refuge(AI) in me
will inherit the land(AJ)
and possess my holy mountain.”(AK)
Comfort for the Contrite
14 And it will be said:
“Build up, build up, prepare the road!(AL)
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”(AM)
15 For this is what the high and exalted(AN) One says—
he who lives forever,(AO) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high(AP) and holy place,
but also with the one who is contrite(AQ) and lowly in spirit,(AR)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.(AS)
16 I will not accuse(AT) them forever,
nor will I always be angry,(AU)
for then they would faint away because of me—
the very people(AV) I have created.
17 I was enraged by their sinful greed;(AW)
I punished them, and hid(AX) my face in anger,
yet they kept on in their willful ways.(AY)
18 I have seen their ways, but I will heal(AZ) them;
I will guide(BA) them and restore comfort(BB) to Israel’s mourners,
19 creating praise on their lips.(BC)
Peace, peace,(BD) to those far and near,”(BE)
says the Lord. “And I will heal them.”
20 But the wicked(BF) are like the tossing sea,(BG)
which cannot rest,
whose waves cast up mire(BH) and mud.
21 “There is no peace,”(BI) says my God, “for the wicked.”(BJ)
