Isaiah 50
1 This is [also] what Yahweh says: “You [Israeli children], do not think [RHQ] that I [forced your parents to be exiled/taken to Babylonia] [MET] like some men send away their wives after giving them a paper on which they state that they were divorcing them! I certainly did not [RHQ] get rid of you like a man who sells his children to get money to pay what he owes. No, the reason that I forced you to be exiled [was to punish you] because of the sins that you have committed [DOU].
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Saan nandoon ang sulat ng pagkakahiwalay ng iyong ina, na aking ipinaghiwalay sa kaniya? o sa kanino sa mga nagpapautang sa akin ipinagbili kita? Narito, dahil sa inyong mga kasamaan ay naipagbili kayo, at dahil sa inyong mga pagsalangsang ay nahiwalay ang inyong ina.
2 When I came to you [to rescue you], why did no one answer when I called out to you [RHQ]? Was there no one there [RHQ]? Or, did you think that I do not have the power [MTY] to rescue you [DOU]? Think about this: I can speak to a sea and cause it to become dry! I can cause rivers to become deserts, with the result that the fish in the rivers die from thirst and they rot.
Bakit, nang ako'y parito, ay walang tao? nang ako'y tumawag, ay walang sumagot? naging maiksi na baga ang aking kamay na hindi makatubos? o wala akong kapangyarihang makapagligtas? Narito, sa saway ko ay aking tinutuyo ang dagat, aking pinapaging ilang ang mga ilog: ang kanilang isda ay bumabaho, sapagka't walang tubig, at namamatay dahil sa uhaw.
3 I cause the sky to become dark, [as though] [MET] it was wearing black clothes [because it was mourning because someone had died].”
Aking binibihisan ng kaitiman ang langit at aking ginagawang kayong magaspang ang kaniyang takip.
4 Yahweh our God has given me his wise message [MTY] in order that I may encourage those who are weary. Each morning he awakens me, in order that I [SYN] may listen to what he teaches [SIM] me.
Binigyan ako ng Panginoong Dios ng dila ng nangaturuan, upang aking maalaman kung paanong aaliwin ng mga salita siyang nanglulupaypay. Siya'y nagigising tuwing umaga, ginigising niya ang aking pakinig upang makinig na gaya ng mga natuturuan.
5 Yahweh our God has spoken to me [IDM], and I have not rejected what he told me; I have accepted [LIT] it.
Binuksan ng Panginoong Dios ang aking pakinig, at ako'y hindi naging mapanghimagsik, o tumalikod man.
6 I allowed people to beat me on my back and to pull out the whiskers in my beard [because they hated me]. I did not turn away [MTY] from them when they made fun of me and spat on me.
Aking ipinain ang aking likod sa mga mananakit, at ang aking mga pisngi sa mga bumabaltak ng balbas; hindi ko ikinubli ang aking mukha sa kahihiyan at sa paglura.
7 But, because the Lord our God helps me, I will never be humiliated. Therefore, I am strongly determined [IDM] to face/endure difficulties, and I know that nothing will cause me to be ashamed.
Sapagka't tutulungan ako ng Panginoong Dios; kaya't hindi ako nalito: kaya't inilagay ko ang aking mukha na parang batong pingkian, at talastas ko na hindi ako mapapahiya.
8 God, the one who vindicates me, is near to me; so if anyone [RHQ] stands in front of me and accuses me in a court, he will not be able [to show that I have done anything that is wrong].
Siya'y malapit na nagpapatotoo sa akin; sinong makikipaglaban sa akin? tayo'y magsitayong magkakasama: sino ang aking kaaway? bayaang lumapit siya sa akin.
9 The Lord our God defends me [in court], so no one [RHQ] will be able to (condemn me/declare that I am guilty). All those who accuse me will disappear like [SIM] old clothes that have been eaten by ([larvae of] moths/cockroaches).
Narito, tutulungan ako ng Panginoong Dios; sino siya na hahatol sa akin? narito, silang lahat ay mangalulumang parang bihisan; lalamunin sila ng tanga.
10 If you revere Yahweh and do what his servant tells you to do, even if you are (walking in darkness/enduring suffering), and it seems that [MET] there is no light, trust in Yahweh your God [DOU] [to help you].
Sino sa inyo ang natatakot sa Panginoon, na sumusunod sa tinig ng kaniyang lingkod? Siyang lumalakad sa kadiliman, at walang liwanag, tumiwala siya sa pangalan ng Panginoon, at umasa sa kaniyang Dios.
11 But you people who [oppose me], [who would like to throw] me into a blazing fire, walk in your own fires and burn yourselves with your own torches! This is what Yahweh will cause to happen to you: You will be enduring great torment when you die [EUP]!
Narito, kayong lahat na nangagsusulsol ng apoy, na kumukubkob ng mga sulo: magsilakad kayo sa liyab ng inyong apoy, at sa gitna ng mga sulo na inyong pinagalab. Ito ang tatamuhin ninyo sa aking kamay; kayo'y hihiga sa kapanglawan.
