Isaiah 63

1 Who is this, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.

Sino itong dumarating mula sa Bozra, nasa Edom, na nakadamit na pula? Sino siyang naka maharlikang kasuotan, nagmamartsa nang may katiyakan dahil sa kanyang dakilang kalakasan? Ako ito na nagsasalita ng katuwiran at may makapangyarihang kakayanan magligtas.

2 So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?

Bakit pula ang suot mo na mukhang nagpipisa ka ng mga ubas sa pigaan nito?

3 I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.

Mag-isa kong tinapakan ang mga ubas sa pigaan, at walang sinuman mula sa mga bansa ang sumama sa akin. Tinapakan ko sila sa aking poot at dinurog ko sila sa aking matinding galit. Tumilamsik ang kanilang dugo at minantsahan ang lahat ng aking kasuotan.

4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.

Dahil inaasam-asam ko ang araw ng paghihiganti, at dumating na ang taon para sa aking pagtubos.

5 I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.

Naghanap ako pero walang sinuman ang makakatulong. Nagtaka ako na walang makakatulong, pero ang aking sariling bisig ang nagdala sa akin sa katagumpayan at pinalakas ako ng aking matinding galit.

6 And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.

Sa aking galit dinurog ko ang mga mamamayan at sa aking poot nilasing ko sila, at isinaboy ko ang kanilang dugo sa lupa.

7 I will remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.

Sasabihin ko ang mga gawa ng katapatan sa tipan ni Yahweh, ang mga kapuri-puring mga ginawa niya para sa atin at ang kanyang dakilang kabutihan sa bayan ng Israel. Ang kahabagang ito ay naipakita niya sa atin dahil sa kanyang awa at sa maraming mga gawa ng katapatan sa tipan.

8 And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And he became their Savior.

Dahil sinabi niya, “Tiyak na sila ang aking bayan, mga anak na hindi taksil.” Siya ay kanilang naging Tagapagligtas.

9 Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.

Nagdusa rin siya sa lahat ng kanilang pagdurusa at ang anghel mula sa kanyang presensya ang nagligtas sa kanila. Sa kanyang pag-ibig at habag sila ay kanyang iniligtas, sila ay kanyang itinaas at iningatan sa buong sinaunang panahon.

10 But they themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war against them.

Pero sila ay nagrebelde at pinighati ang kanyang Banal na Espiritu. Kaya siya ay naging kaaway nila at nakipaglaban sa kanila.

11 And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?

Naalala ng kanyang bayan ang tungkol sa sinaunang panahon ni Moises. Sinabi nila, “Nasaan ang Diyos, na naglabas sa kanila sa dagat kasama ang mga pastol ng kanyang kawan? Nasaan ang Diyos na naglagay sa kanila ng kanyang Banal na Espiritu?

12 He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.

Nasaan ang Diyos, na naglagay ng kanyang dakilang kapangyarihan sa kanang kamay ni Moises, at hinawi ang tubig ng dagat sa kanilang harapan para gumawa ng walang hanggang pangalan para sa kanyang sarili?

13 He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.

Nasaan ang Diyos na pinangunahan sila sa pagtawid sa malalim na dagat? Tulad ng isang kabayo na tumatakbo sa patag na lupa, sila ay hindi nadapa.

14 Like an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.

Gaya ng baka na bumababa papunta sa lambak, ganun din sila binigyan ng kapahingahan ng Espiritu ni Yahweh. Kaya ginabayan mo ang iyong bayan para sa kapurihan ng iyong sariling pangalan.

15 Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.

Tumingin ka mula sa langit at magbigay pansin mula sa iyong banal at maluwalhating tahanan. Nasaan ang iyong kasigasigan at makapangyarihang mga gawa? Ipinagkait sa amin ang iyong awa at habag.

16 For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.

Dahil ikaw ay aming ama, kahit hindi kami kilala ni Abraham at hindi kinikilala ng Israel, ikaw, Yahweh, ang aming ama. 'Aming Manunubos' ang naging pangalan mo mula pa noong sinaunang panahon.

17 Why have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.

Yahweh, bakit mo kami hinayaang maligaw mula sa iyong mga landas at tumigas ang aming mga puso kaya hindi ka na namin sinusunod? Bumalik ka para sa kapakanan ng iyong mga lingkod, ang mga lipi ng iyong pamana.

18 They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. Our enemies have trampled your sanctuary.

Ang bayan mo ang nagmay-ari ng iyong banal na lugar sa maiksing panahon, pero pagkatapos niyurakan ito ng aming mga kaaway.

19 We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.

Kami ay naging tulad ng mga hindi mo kailanman pinamahalaan at tinawag sa pamamagitan ng iyong pangalan.”
