Isaiah 42
1 [Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
Narito, ang aking lingkod, na aking inaalalayan; ang aking hinirang, na kinalulugdan ng aking kaluluwa; isinakaniya ko ang aking Espiritu; siya'y maglalapat ng kahatulan sa mga bansa.
2 He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
Siya'y hindi hihiyaw, o maglalakas man ng tinig, o iparirinig man ang kaniyang tinig sa lansangan.
3 He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
Ang gapok na tambo ay hindi niya babaliin, ni ang timsim na umuusok ay hindi niya papatayin: siya'y maglalapat ng kahatulan sa katotohanan.
4 He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
Siya'y hindi manglulupaypay o maduduwag man, hanggang sa maitatag niya ang kahatulan sa lupa; at ang mga pulo ay maghihintay sa kaniyang kautusan.
5 Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
Ganito ang sabi ng Dios na Panginoon, na lumikha ng langit, at nagladlad ng mga yaon; siyang naglatag ng lupa at ng nagsisilitaw rito; siyang nagbibigay ng hinga sa bayang nito, at ng diwa sa kanila na nagsisilakad dito:
6 “I, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
Ako, ang Panginoon, ay tumawag sa iyo sa katuwiran, at hahawak ng iyong kamay, at magiingat sa iyo, at ibibigay kita na pinakatipan sa bayan, na pinakaliwanag sa mga bansa;
7 You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
Upang magdilat ng mga bulag na mata, upang maglabas ng mga bilanggo sa bilangguan, at nilang nangauupo sa kadiliman mula sa bilangguan.
8 I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
Ako ang Panginoon; na siyang aking pangalan: at ang aking kaluwalhatian ay hindi ko ibibigay sa iba, o ang akin mang kapurihan sa mga larawang inanyuan.
9 Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
Narito, ang mga dating bagay ay nangyayari na, at ang mga bagong bagay ay ipinahahayag ko: bago mangalitaw ay sinasaysay ko sa inyo.
10 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
Magsiawit kayo sa Panginoon ng bagong awit, at ng kapurihan niya na mula sa wakas ng lupa; kayong nagsisibaba sa dagat, at ang buong nariyan, ang mga pulo, at mga nananahan doon,
11 You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
Mangaglakas ng kanilang tinig ang ilang at ang mga bayan niyaon, ang mga nayon na tinatahanan ng Cedar: magsiawit ang mga nananahan sa Selah, magsihiyaw sila mula sa mga taluktok ng mga bundok.
12 Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
Mangagbigay luwalhati sila sa Panginoon, at mangagpahayag ng kaniyang kapurihan sa mga pulo.
13 [It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all his enemies.
Ang Panginoon ay lalabas na parang makapangyarihang lalake; siya'y pupukaw ng paninibugho na parang lalaking mangdidigma: siya'y hihiyaw, oo, siya'y hihiyaw ng malakas; siya'y gagawang makapangyarihan laban sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
14 [He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
Ako'y tumahimik ng malaon; ako'y hindi kumibo, at nagpigil ako: ngayo'y hihiyaw akong parang nagdaramdam na babae; ako'y manggigiba at mananakmal na paminsan.
15 I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
Aking gagawing giba ang mga bundok at mga burol, at tutuyuin ko ang lahat nilang mga pananim; at gagawin kong mga pulo ang mga ilog, at aking tutuyuin ang mga lawa.
16 [My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
At aking dadalhin ang bulag sa daan na hindi nila nalalaman; sa mga landas na hindi nila nalalaman ay papatnubayan ko sila; aking gagawing kadiliman ang liwanag sa harap nila, at mga likong daan ang matuwid. Ang mga bagay na ito ay aking gagawin, at hindi ko kalilimutan sila.
17 But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
Sila'y mangapapaurong, sila'y mangapapahiyang mainam, na nagsisitiwala sa mga larawang inanyuan, na nangagsasabi sa mga larawang binubo, Kayo'y aming mga dios.
18 You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
Makinig kayong mga bingi; at tumingin kayong mga bulag, upang kayo'y mangakakita.
19 No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
Sino ang bulag kundi ang aking lingkod? o ang bingi, na gaya ng aking sugo na aking sinusugo? sino ang bulag na gaya niya na nasa kapayapaan sa akin, at bulag na gaya ng lingkod ng Panginoon?
20 You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
Ikaw ay nakakakita ng maraming bagay, nguni't hindi mo binubulay; ang kaniyang mga tainga ay bukas, nguni't hindi niya dininig.
21 Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
Kinalulugdan ng Panginoon dahil sa kaniyang katuwiran, na dakilain ang kautusan, at gawing marangal.
22 But [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
Nguni't ito ay isang bayang nanakaw at nasamsam; silang lahat ay nangasilo sa mga hukay, at sila'y nangakubli sa mga bilangguan: sila'y pinaka huli at walang magligtas; pinaka samsam, at walang magsabi, Iyong papanumbalikin.
23 Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
Sino sa gitna ninyo ang makikinig nito? na makikinig at didinig para sa panahong darating?
24 Who allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
Sino ang nagbigay ng Jacob na pinaka samsam, at ng Israel sa mga magnanakaw? di baga ang Panginoon? na laban sa kaniya ay nangagkasala tayo, at sa mga daan niya ay hindi sila nagsilakad, o naging masunurin man sila sa kaniyang kautusan.
25 Therefore, he was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
Kaya't ibinugso niya sa kaniya ang pusok ng kaniyang galit, at ang lakas ng pakikipagbaka; at sinulsulan siya ng apoy sa palibot, gayon ma'y hindi niya naalaman; at sinunog siya, gayon ma'y hindi siya naglagak ng kalooban.
