Isaiah 14
1 [But] Yahweh will act mercifully toward the Israeli people; he will choose [the people of] Israel [to be his people again], and he will allow them to [return here and] live in their own land again. Then people from [many] other countries will come here and unite with the Israeli people.
Mahahabag si Yahweh sa Jacob; pipiliin niya muli ang Israel at ibabalik sila sa sarili nilang lupain. Sasapi ang mga dayuhan sa kanila at iaanib ang kanilang mga sarili sa bayan ng Jacob.
2 People of other nations will help them to return to their [own] land, and those who come from other countries will (work for/become the servants of) the Israeli people. Those who captured people of Israel will be captured by Israeli soldiers, and the people of Israel will rule over the people who [previously] oppressed them.
Dadalahin sila ng mga bansa sa kanilang lugar. Pagkatapos, kukunin sila ng bayan ng Israel sa lupain ni Yahweh bilang lalaki at babaeng mga alipin. Mabibihag nila ang mga bumihag sa kanila, at pamumunuan nilang lahat ng mga nang-api sa kanila.
3 Some day Yahweh will free you [Israeli people] from suffering and trouble and from being afraid, and from being cruelly treated as slaves [MTY].
Sa araw na bibigyan kayo ni Yahweh ng kapahingahan mula sa paghihirap at pagdurusa, at mula sa mahirap na pagtratrabaho na kailangan ninyong gawin,
4 When that happens, you will make fun of the King of Babylon by saying this: “You treated us cruelly, but that has ended! Your insolently causing others to suffer is finished!
aawit kayo ng awiting panghamak laban sa hari ng Babilonia, “Paano natapos ang nang-aapi, ang pagmamataas nila ay tapos na!
5 You evil ruler, Yahweh will get rid of your power, and you will oppress people no longer!
Sinira na ni Yahweh ang tungkod ng masasama, ang setro ng mga namamahala,
6 You attacked people many times because you were very angry with them, and you subdued/conquered [other] nations by causing them to suffer endlessly.
na pumapalo sa mga tao nang paulit-ulit, na galit na pinamahalaan ang mga bansa, sa pamamagitan ng walang tigil na paglusob.
7 [But soon] everything will be quiet and peaceful on the earth. Everyone [PRS] will sing [again]!
Nasa kapayapaan at katahimikan ang buong mundo; nagsimula silang magdiwang na may awitan.
8 [It will be as though] even the trees in the forests will joyfully sing this song, the cyprus/pine [trees] and the cedar [trees] in Lebanon will sing it: ‘You (have been overthrown/are no longer a ruler), and now no one comes to get rid of us [MET].’
Nagdiriwang maging ang mga puno ng pir sa mga sedar ng Lebanon; sabi nila, 'Ngayong naputol ka na, walang tagaputol ng puno ang pupunta dito para putulin tayo.'
9 The dead people are [PRS] are eagerly waiting for you to come to the place where they are. The spirits of the world leaders will be delighted to welcome you; those who were kings of many nations [before they died] will stand up [to welcome you]. (Sheol h7585)
Sabik kang sasalubungin ng Sheol kapag bumaba ka doon. Papabangunin nito ang mga patay para sa iyo, lahat ng hari sa mundo, itataas sila mula sa kanilang mga trono. (Sheol h7585)
10 They will all shout to you [together], ‘Now you are as weak as we are!’
Kakausapin ka nilang lahat at sasabihin sa'yo, 'naging mahina ka na gaya namin. Gaya ka na namin.
11 You were very proud and powerful, [but all] that ended when you died, along with the sounds of harps [being played in your palace]. [Now in your grave] maggots will be under you [like a sheet] [MET], and worms will cover you [like a blanket] [MET]. (Sheol h7585)
Binaba ang iyong karangyaan sa Sheol kasama ng tunog ng iyong instrumentong may kuwerdas. Nakakalat ang mga uod sa iyong ilalim, at nakabalot ang mga bulate sa iyo. (Sheol h7585)
12 You have [disappeared from the earth like] [MET] a star which has fallen from the sky; you [were very well-known] [like] [MET] the morning star [which is seen by everyone]; you destroyed [many] nations, but now you have been destroyed.
Paano ka nahulog mula sa kalangitan, ikaw na bituin sa araw, anak ng umaga! Paano ka naputol sa lupa, ikaw na sumakop sa mga bansa!
13 You [proudly] said to yourself, ‘I will ascend to heaven, to my throne above God’s stars. I will rule on the mountain where [the gods] gather together, far in the north.
Sabi mo sa iyong puso, 'Aakyat ako sa langit, itataas ko ang aking trono sa taas ng mga bituin ng Diyos, at uupo ako sa bundok ng kapulungan, sa malayong bahagi ng hilaga.
14 I will ascend above the clouds and become like the highest/greatest god!’
Aakyat ako na mas mataas sa mga ulap; gagawin kong Kataas-taasang Diyos ang aking sarili.'
15 [But you were not able to do that]; instead, you were carried down to your grave, and you went to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Pero ngayon nadala ka dito pababa sa Sheol, sa ilalim ng hukay. (Sheol h7585)
16 The [other dead] people there stare at you; they wonder what happened to you. [They say], ‘Is this the man who caused the earth to shake and caused the [people in many] kingdoms to tremble?
Titingnan ka nila at iisipin ang nangyari sa iyo. Sasabihin nila. 'Ito ba ang taong nagpanginig sa mundo, na nagpayanig ng mga kaharian, na siyang ginawang ilang ang daigdig,
17 Is this the man who [tried to] cause the world to become a desert, who conquered its cities and did not allow the people whom he captured to return to their homes?’
na siyang nagbagsak ng mga lungsod at ang siyang hindi nagpauwi sa mga bilanggo sa kanilang mga tahanan?
18 All the kings of the earth [who have died] were greatly honored when they were buried,
Lahat ng hari sa mga bansa, matutulog sa kaluwalhatian, sa bawat libingan nila.
19 but your [corpse will] not be buried; it will be thrown away like [SIM] a worthless branch [of a tree]. Your corpse will be under a heap of other corpses of soldiers that were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and [their corpses] were not buried; you will be with those who have gone down to the stony ground in a big pit.
Pero hindi ka kabilang sa iyong libingan gaya ng isang sangang tinapon, matatabunan ka ng mga patay gaya ng isang damit, sa mga natusok ng espada - sa mga nahulog sa mga batuhan ng hukay.
20 Your [corpse] will not be buried because you have destroyed your nation and have caused your people to be killed. The descendants of wicked people [like you] will never be honored again.
Gaya ng isang bangkay na tinapon sa ilalim, hindi ka makakasama sa kanila sa libingan, dahil winasak mo ang iyong lupain. Ikaw na pumatay sa iyong kababayan ay anak ng mga gumagawa ng masama at hindi na muling babanggitin kailanman.”
21 [People will say], ‘Slaughter this man’s children because of the sins that their ancestors committed! Do not allow them to become rulers and conquer [all the nations in] the world, and fill the world with the cities [that they rule]!’”
Maghanda ka sa pagkatay sa kaniyang mga anak, dahil sa kasalanan ng kanilang mga ninuno, upang hindi sila tumaas at makuha ang mundo at punuin ang buong daigdig ng mga lungsod.
22 [This is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says: “I [myself] will cause Babylon to be conquered. I will get rid of Babylon and its people and their descendants.
“Lalaban ako sa kanila” - pahayag ito ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo.” Puputulin ko ang pangalan ng Babilonia, kaapu-apuhan, at saling-lahi sa hinaharap” - payahag ito ni Yahweh.
23 I will cause Babylon to be a place where owls live, a place full of swamps; I will get rid of it completely [as though] [MET] I were sweeping it with a broom. [That is what I], the Commander of the armies of angels, say.”
Gagawin ko din silang papunta sa lugar ng mga kuwago, at sa mga sapa, at wawalisin ko siya ng walis ng pagkawasak” - payahag ito ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo.
24 The Commander of the armies of angels has [also] solemnly promised this: “The things that I have planned will surely happen [DOU].
Nanumpa si Yahweh ng mga hukbo, “Sigurado, gaya ng nais ko, mangyayari iyon; at gaya ng layunin ko, mangyayari iyon:
25 [When the army of] Assyria is in my land [of Israel], I will crush them. [It will be as though] I will trample them on my mountains. My people will no longer be the slaves [MET] of the people of Assyria; [it will be as though] [MET] I will take away the burdens that are on their shoulders.
Wawasakin ko ang mga taga-Asiria sa aking lupain, at tatapakan ko sila sa aking mga bundok. Pagkatapos, maiaangat ang pamatok sa kaniya at kaniyang pasanin sa kaniyang mga balikat.”
26 I have a plan for everyone on the earth, a plan to show my power [MTY] to punish all the nations.
Ito ang plano na nais ko para sa buong mundo, at ito ang kamay na nakataas sa lahat ng mga bansa.
27 [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, have spoken, and no one can [RHQ] change my mind. When I raise my fist [to strike Assyria], no one [RHQ] will be able to stop me [from doing that].”
Dahil binalak ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo ito; sino ang makapipigil sa kaniya? Nakataas ang kaniyang kamay, at sino ang makabababa nito?
28 I received this message [from Yahweh] during the year that King Ahaz died:
Sa panahon na namatay si haring Ahaz, dumating ang pahayag na ito:
29 You people of Philistia, do not rejoice that the enemy army [MET] that attacked you has been defeated and that their king is dead. He was [as dangerous as] [MET] a snake, but there will be another king, who will be more [dangerous] than a cobra; he will be [like] [MET] a quick-moving poisonous snake.
Huwag kayong magalak, Filisteo, dahil nasira na ang pamalong hinampas sa inyo. Dahil sa pinanggalingan ng ahas ay may paparating na isa pa, at magiging lumilipad na ahas ang kaniyang anak.
30 Those of my people who are very poor will take care of their flocks of sheep, and the needy people will lie down safely, but I will cause you people [of Philistia] who are still alive [DOU] to die from famine.
Kakain ang panganay ng mahirap, at makakatulog ng ligtas ang mga nangangailangan. Papatayin ko ang pinanggalingan mo sa pamamagitan ng kagutuman na papatay sa lahat ng nakaligtas sa inyo.
31 [So], you people of Philistia, wail at the gates of your cities! You should be extremely afraid, because [a very powerful army] will come from the north [to attack you]; [their chariots will stir up the dust like] [MET] a cloud of smoke. Each of their soldiers is ready to fight.
Umungol kayo, umiyak kayo; lungsod; matutunaw ang lahat ng mayroon ka; Filistio. Dahil mula sa hilaga, darating ang ulap na usok, at walang nakahiwalay sa hanay niya.
32 If messengers [from Philistia] come to us [Israeli people], this is what we must [RHQ] tell them: “Yahweh has established Jerusalem, [not Philistia], and his people who are oppressed will be safe inside [the walls of] Jerusalem.”
Paano sasagutin ng isang tao ang mga mensahero ng bansang iyon? Si Yahweh ang nagtalaga ng Sion, at sa Sion makatatagpo ng kanlungan ang mga nahirapang bayan niya.
