Isaias 57
Ang Biblia, 2001
Hinatulan ang Pagsamba sa Diyus-diyosan
57 Ang matuwid ay namamatay,
at walang taong nagdaramdam;
ang mga taong tapat ay pumapanaw,
samantalang walang nakakaunawa.
Sapagkat ang matuwid na tao ay inilalayo sa kasamaan.
2 Siya'y pumapasok sa kapayapaan;
sila'y nagpapahinga sa kanilang mga higaan
bawat isa'y lumalakad sa kanyang katuwiran.
3 Ngunit kayo, magsilapit kayo rito,
kayong mga anak ng babaing manghuhula,
mga supling ng masamang babae[a] at mangangalunya.
4 Sino ang inyong tinutuya?
Laban kanino kayo nagbubukas ng bibig,
at naglalawit ng dila?
Hindi ba kayo'y mga anak ng pagsuway,
supling ng pandaraya,
5 kayong mga nag-aalab na may pagnanasa sa gitna ng mga ensina,
sa ilalim ng bawat luntiang punungkahoy;
na pumapatay ng inyong mga anak sa mga libis,
sa mga bitak ng mga bato sa mga bangin?
6 Sa gitna ng mga makinis na bato sa libis ang iyong bahagi;
sila, sila ang iyong bahagi;
sa kanila ka nagbuhos ng inuming handog,
ikaw ay nag-alay ng handog na butil.
Mapapayapa ba ako sa mga bagay na ito?
7 Sa isang mataas at matayog na bundok
ay inilagay mo ang iyong higaan;
doon ka naman sumampa upang maghandog ng alay.
8 At sa likod ng mga pintuan at ng mga hamba
ay itinaas mo ang iyong sagisag;
sapagkat hinubaran mo ang iyong sarili sa iba kaysa akin,
at ikaw ay sumampa roon,
iyong pinaluwang ang iyong higaan;
at nakipagtipan ka sa kanila,
iyong inibig ang kanilang higaan,
minasdan mo ang kanilang pagkalalaki.
9 Ikaw ay naglakbay sa hari na may dalang langis,
at pinarami mo ang iyong mga pabango;
at iyong ipinadala ang iyong mga sugo sa malayo,
at iyong pinababa hanggang sa Sheol.
10 Ikaw ay napagod sa kahabaan ng iyong lakad,
gayunma'y hindi mo sinabi, “Ito'y walang pag-asa”;
ikaw ay nakasumpong ng bagong buhay para sa iyong lakas,
kaya't hindi ka nanlupaypay.
11 At kanino ka nangilabot at natakot,
anupa't ikaw ay nagsinungaling,
at hindi mo ako inalaala,
o inisip mo man?
Hindi ba ako tumahimik nang matagal na panahon,
at hindi mo ako kinatatakutan?
12 Aking ipahahayag ang iyong katuwiran at ang iyong mga gawa,
ngunit hindi mo mapapakinabangan.
13 Kapag ikaw ay sumigaw, iligtas ka nawa ng mga diyus-diyosang iyong tinipon!
Ngunit tatangayin sila ng hangin,
isang hinga ang tatangay sa kanila.
Ngunit siyang nanganganlong sa akin ay mag-aari ng lupain,
at magmamana ng aking banal na bundok.
Ang Pangakong Tulong at Pagpapagaling ng Diyos
14 At kanyang sasabihin,
“Inyong patagin, inyong patagin, ihanda ninyo ang lansangan,
inyong alisin ang bawat sagabal sa lansangan ng aking bayan.”
15 Sapagkat ganito ang sabi ng Mataas at Matayog
na tumatahan sa walang hanggan, na ang pangalan ay Banal:
“Ako'y naninirahan sa mataas at banal na dako,
at gayundin sa may pagsisisi at mapagpakumbabang-loob,
upang buhayin ang loob ng mapagpakumbaba,
at upang buhayin ang puso ng may pagsisisi.
16 Sapagkat hindi ako makikipagtalo magpakailanman,
o magagalit man akong lagi;
sapagkat ang espiritu ay manlulupaypay sa harap ko,
at ang mga kaluluwa na aking ginawa.
17 Dahil sa kasamaan ng kanyang kasakiman ay nagalit ako,
sinaktan ko siya, ikinubli ko ang aking mukha at ako'y nagalit;
ngunit nagpatuloy siya sa pagtalikod sa lakad ng kanyang puso.
18 Aking nakita ang kanyang mga lakad, ngunit pagagalingin ko siya;
aking papatnubayan siya, at panunumbalikin ko sa kanya ang kaaliwan,
at sa mga nananangis sa kanya.
19 Aking(A) nilikha ang bunga ng mga labi.
Kapayapaan, kapayapaan, sa kanya na malayo at sa kanya na malapit, sabi ng Panginoon;
at aking pagagalingin siya.
20 Ngunit ang masama ay parang maunos na dagat;
sapagkat hindi matatahimik,
at ang kanyang tubig ay naglalabas ng burak at dumi.
21 Walang(B) kapayapaan, sabi ng aking Diyos, para sa masasama.”

Isaiah 57
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 57
New International Reader's Version
57 Those who are right with God die.
And no one really cares about it.
People who are faithful to the Lord are swept away by trouble.
And no one understands why that happens
to those who do what is right.
2 Those who lead honest lives
will enjoy peace and rest when they die.
3 The Lord says, “Come here,
you children of women who practice evil magic!
You are children of prostitutes and those who commit adultery.
4 Who are you making fun of?
Who are you laughing at?
Who are you sticking your tongue out at?
You are people who refuse to obey me.
You are just a bunch of liars!
5 You burn with sinful desire among the oak trees.
You worship your gods under every green tree.
You sacrifice your children in the valleys.
You also do it under the cliffs.
6 You have chosen some of the smooth stones in the valleys to be your gods.
You have joined yourselves to them.
You have even poured out drink offerings to them.
You have given grain offerings to them.
So why should I take pity on you?
7 You have made your bed on a very high hill.
You went up there to offer your sacrifices.
8 You have set up statues to remind you of your gods.
You have put them behind your doors and doorposts.
You deserted me. You invited other lovers into your bed.
You climbed into it and welcomed them.
You made a deal with them.
And you looked with desire at their naked bodies.
9 You took olive oil to the god named Molek.
You took a lot of perfume along with you.
You sent your messengers to places far away.
You even sent them down to the place of the dead.
10 You wore yourself out with all your efforts.
But you would not say, ‘It’s hopeless.’
You received new strength.
So you did not give up.
11 “Who are you so afraid of
that you have not been faithful to me?
You have not remembered me.
What you do doesn’t even bother you.
I have not punished you for a long time.
That is why you are not afraid of me.
12 You have not done what is right or good.
I will let everyone know about it.
And that will not be of any benefit to you.
13 Go ahead and cry out for help to all the statues of your gods.
See if they can save you!
The wind will carry them off.
Just a puff of air will blow them away.
But anyone who comes to me for safety
will receive the land.
They will possess my holy mountain of Zion.”
The Lord Comforts People Who Are Sorry for Their Sins
14 A messenger says,
“Build up the road! Build it up! Get it ready!
Remove anything that would keep my people from coming back.”
15 The God who is highly honored lives forever.
His name is holy. He says,
“I live in a high and holy place.
But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins.
I live with anyone who is not proud.
I give new life to them.
I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.
16 I will not find fault with my people forever.
I will not always be angry with them.
If I were, I would cause their spirits to grow weak.
The people I created would faint away.
17 I was very angry with them.
They always longed for more and more of everything.
So I punished them for that sin.
I turned my face away from them because I was angry.
But they kept on wanting their own way.
18 I have seen what they have done.
But I will heal them.
I will guide them.
I will give those who mourn in Israel the comfort they had before.
19 Then they will praise me.
I will give perfect peace to those who are far away and those who are near.
And I will heal them,” says the Lord.
20 But those who are evil are like the rolling sea.
It never rests.
Its waves toss up mud and sand.
21 “There is no peace for those who are evil,” says my God.
Isaiah 57
New King James Version
Isaiah 57
New King James Version
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.”

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)
