Isaiah 65
1 [This is what Yahweh said]: “I was ready to reply [to my people], but no one requested me [to help them]. I was ready to help [even] those who did not call out to me. I continued to say, ‘I am here [to help you]!’
Ako'y napagsasangunian ng mga hindi nagsipagtanong tungkol sa akin; ako'y nasusumpungan nila na hindi nagsihanap sa akin: aking sinabi, Narito ako, narito ako, sa bansa na hindi tinawag sa aking pangalan.
2 [It is as though] I have continually held out my arms [to show that I am ready to help] my people who rebel [against me], and who [continually] do the evil things that they want to do.
Aking iniunat ang aking mga kamay buong araw sa mapanghimagsik na bayan, na lumalakad sa daang hindi mabuti, ayon sa kanilang sariling mga pagiisip;
3 They boldly continue to do things that cause me to be angry: They offer sacrifices [to their idols] in their gardens, and they burn incense [to them] on [altars made of] bricks.
Bayan na minumungkahi akong palagi ng mukhaan, na naghahain sa mga halamanan, at nagsusunog ng kamangyan sa ibabaw ng mga laryo;
4 They secretly remain awake at night in burial caves, [talking with the spirits of] ([dead people/their ancestors]). They eat the meat of pigs, and their pots are full of [other] meat that is [also] unacceptable to me.
Na nauupo sa gitna ng mga libingan, at tumitigil sa mga lihim na dako; na kumakain ng laman ng baboy, at ang sabaw ng mga kasuklamsuklam na mga bagay ay nasa kanilang mga sisidlan;
5 [Then] they say [to others], ‘Stay away from me; do not come near me, because I am very holy, [with the result that you should not touch me].’ People like that are [like] [MET] smoke in my nose [from] a fire that burns continually.
Na nagsasabi, Humiwalay ka, huwag kang lumapit sa akin, sapagka't ako'y lalong banal kay sa iyo. Ang mga ito ay usok sa aking ilong, apoy na nagliliyab buong araw.
6 I have written [a record of all the evil things that they have done]. And I will not do nothing about all those things; I will certainly punish them
Narito, nasulat sa harap ko: hindi ako tatahimik, kundi ako'y gaganti, oo, ako'y gaganti sa kanilang sinapupunan,
7 for the sins that they and their ancestors have committed. They have mocked/insulted me by burning incense [to their idols] on the hilltops. So I will punish them like they deserve for doing those things.”
Ang inyong sariling mga kasamaan, at ang mga kasamaan ng inyong mga magulang na magkakasama, sabi ng Panginoon, na mangagsunog ng kamangyan sa mga bundok, at nagsitungayaw sa akin sa mga burol: ay susukatan ko nga ng kanilang unang gawa sa kaniyang sinapupunan.
8 This is [also] what Yahweh said: “When there is a cluster of nice grapes on a vine, people do not throw them away, because they know that there is good juice in those grapes. Similarly, because there are some people [in Judah] who faithfully serve/worship me, I will not get rid of all of them.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Kung paanong nasusumpungan ang bagong alak sa kumpol, at may nagsasabi, Huwag mong sirain, sapagka't iyan ay mapapakinabangan: gayon ang gagawin ko sa ikagagaling ng aking mga lingkod, upang huwag kong malipol silang lahat.
9 I will spare some of the descendants of Jacob who are living on the hills of Judah. I have chosen them, and they will possess that land; they will worship/serve me, and they will live there.
At ako'y maglalabas ng lahi na mula sa Jacob, at mula sa Juda ng isang tagapagmana ng aking mga bundok; at mamanahin ng aking pinili, at tatahanan ng aking mga lingkod.
10 [Then all the land from the] Sharon [Plain near the Mediterranean Sea] and [as far east as] Achor Valley [near Jericho] will become pastureland where their cattle and sheep will rest.
At ang Saron ay magiging kulungan ng mga kawan, at ang libis ng Achor ay dakong higaan ng mga bakahan, dahil sa aking bayan na humanap sa akin.
11 But [it will be different] for you who have abandoned me, you who do not worship me on [Zion], my sacred hill, you who worship Gad and Meni, [the gods who you think will bring you] good luck and good fortune.
Nguni't kayo, na nangagpapabaya sa Panginoon, na nagsisilimot ng aking banal na bundok, na nangaghahanda ng dulang para sa Kapalaran, at pinupuno ang saro ng alak na haluan para sa Kaukulan;
12 [It is I, not Meni, who will decide/say what will happen to you]; you will all [be slaughtered by] swords. [That will happen] because you did not answer when I called out to you. I spoke to you, but you did not pay attention. Instead, you did things that I said are evil; you chose to do things that do not please me.
Aking iuukol kayo sa tabak, at kayong lahat ay magsisiyuko sa patayan; sapagka't nang ako'y tumawag, kayo'y hindi nagsisagot; nang ako'y magsalita, kayo'y hindi nangakinig; kundi inyong ginawa ang masama sa harap ng aking mga mata, at inyong pinili ang di ko kinaluluguran.
13 I, Yahweh the Lord, will give to those who worship and obey me things to eat and drink, and they will be happy; but [all] you evil people will be hungry and thirsty, and you will be [sad and] disgraced.
Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, ang aking mga lingkod ay magsisikain, nguni't kayo'y mangagugutom; narito, ang aking mga lingkod ay magsisiinom, nguni't kayo'y mangauuhaw; narito, mangagagalak ang aking mga lingkod, nguni't kayo'y mangapapahiya;
14 Those who worship and obey me will sing joyfully, but you [evil people] will wail loudly because you will be suffering in your inner beings.
Narito, ang aking mga lingkod ay magsisiawit dahil sa kagalakan ng puso, nguni't kayo'y magsisidaing dahil sa kapanglawan ng puso, at aangal dahil sa pagkabagbag ng loob.
15 Those whom I have chosen will use your names when they curse people; [I], Yahweh the Lord, will get rid of you. But I will give to those who worship and obey me a new name [that they will use when they bless people].
At inyong iiwan ang inyong pangalan na pinakasumpa sa aking mga pinili, at papatayin ka ng Panginoong Dios; at kaniyang tatawagin ang kaniyang mga lingkod ng ibang pangalan:
16 The people in this land have had many troubles, but I will cause those troubles to occur no more. Therefore those who ask me to bless them and those who solemnly promise to do something should never forget that I am God, who faithfully [do what I promise to do].”
Na anopa't siyang nagpapala sa lupa ay magpapala sa Dios ng katotohanan; at siyang sumusumpa sa lupa ay susumpa sa pangalan ng Dios ng katotohanan; sapagka't ang mga dating kabagabagan ay nalimutan, at sapagka't nangakubli sa aking mga mata.
17 “Note this: [Some day] I will create a new heaven and a new earth. [They will be very wonderful, with the result that] you will no longer think about all [the troubles] you had previously.
Sapagka't narito, ako'y lumilikha ng mga bagong langit, at ng bagong lupa, at ang mga dating bagay ay hindi maaalaala, o mapapasa isip man.
18 Be glad and always rejoice because of what I will do: Jerusalem will be a place where [people] rejoice; the people who live there will always be happy.
Nguni't kayo'y mangatuwa at mangagalak magpakailan man sa aking nilikha; sapagka't, narito, aking nililikha na kagalakan ang Jerusalem, at kaligayahan ang kaniyang bayan.
19 I will rejoice about Jerusalem, and I will be delighted with my people. [People] will no longer weep or cry because of being distressed.
At ako'y magagalak sa Jerusalem, at maliligaya sa aking bayan; at ang tinig ng iyak ay hindi na maririnig pa sa kaniya, o ang tinig man ng daing.
20 No child will die when it is still an infant; all people will live until they are very old. [People will consider that] anyone who is 100 years old is still young; [they will consider that] anyone who dies who is younger than that has been cursed.
Hindi na magkakaroon mula ngayon ng sanggol na mamamatay, o ng matanda man na hindi nalubos ang kaniyang mga kaarawan; sapagka't ang bata ay mamamatay na may isang daang taong gulang, at ang makasalanan na may isang daang taon ang gulang ay susumpain.
21 My people will build houses and [then] live in them. They will plant vineyards and then eat grapes from those vineyards.
At sila'y mangagtatayo ng mga bahay, at ang mga yao'y kanilang tatahanan; at sila'y mangaguubasan, at magsisikain ng bunga niyaon.
22 As for the houses that they build, no one will [take those houses away from them and] live in them. No one will take a vineyard away from its owner. My chosen people will live a long time, like trees do, and they will enjoy what they have accomplished— [the houses that they have built and the crops that they have planted].
Sila'y hindi magtatayo, at iba ang tatahan; sila'y hindi magtatanim, at iba ang kakain; sapagka't kung paano ang mga kaarawan ng punong kahoy, ay magiging gayon ang mga kaarawan ng aking bayan, at ang aking mga pinili ay mangagagalak na malaon sa gawa ng kanilang mga kamay.
23 They will not work hard in vain, and their children will not die from some (calamity/terrible thing happening to them). I will [certainly] bless their children and their grandchildren.
Sila'y hindi gagawa ng walang kabuluhan, o manganganak man para sa kasakunaan, sapagka't sila ang lahi ng mga pinagpala ng Panginoon, at ang kanilang mga anak na kasama nila.
24 Before they call to me [to help them], I will answer; I will answer their prayers while they are still praying [for me to do something for them].
At mangyayari, na bago sila magsitawag, sasagot ako; at samantalang sila'y nangagsasalita, aking didinggin.
25 No one will be harmed or injured anywhere on [Zion], my sacred hill: Wolves and lambs will eat grass together [peacefully]; lions will eat hay like oxen do, [and they will not attack people]. Snakes will [not hurt anyone; they will lie on the ground and] eat [only] dirt. [That is surely what it will be like because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
Ang lobo at ang kordero ay manginginaing magkasama, at ang leon ay kakain ng dayami na gaya ng baka; at alabok ang magiging pagkain ng ahas. Sila'y hindi mananakit o magpapahamak man sa aking buong banal na bundok, sabi ng Panginoon.
