Isaias 63

1 Kinsa ba kining gikan sa Edom, nga nagsul-ob ug pula nga bisti nga gikan sa Bozra? Kinsa ba kining nagsul-ob sa harianong bisti, nga naglakaw nga walay gikahadlokan? Ako kini, nga nagsulti sa pagkamatarong ug gamhanan nga makaluwas.

[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”

2 Nganong pula man ang imong bisti, ug daw nagpuga ka sa mga ubas didto sa giokanan?

[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”

3 Gipuga ko nga nag-inusara ang mga ubas didto sa giokanan, ug walay usa gikan sa ubang kanasoran ang miapil kanako. Gitunobtunoban ko sila sa akong kasuko ug giyatakyatakan sa akong kapungot. Mipisik ang ilang mga dugo sa akong bisti ug namansahan ang akong tibuok sapot.

[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.

4 Kay nagtinguha na ako sa adlaw sa pagpanimalos, ug miabot na ang tuig sa akong pagtubos.

I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].

5 Milantaw ako, ug wala gayoy usa nga makatabang kanako. Nahibulong ako nga walay ni usa nga mitabang kanako, apan nagmadaugon ako pinaagi sa akong bukton, ug ang hilabihan kong kasuko nagdasig kanako.

I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.

6 Gitunobtunoban ko ang katawhan sa akong kasuko ug gihubog sila sa akong kaligutgot, ug gibubo ko ang ilang dugo sa kalibotan.

Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”

7 Isulti ko ang buhat sa matinumanong kasabotan ni Yahweh, ang mga binuhatan ni Yahweh takos sa pagdayeg. Isulti ko kanang tanan nga nahimo ni Yahweh alang kanato, ug ang iyang pagkamaayo ngadto sa balay sa Israel. Kining kaayo nga gipakita ni Yahweh kanato tungod sa iyang kaluoy, ug uban sa daghang mga buhat sa matinumanong kasabotan.

I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.

8 Kay miingon siya, “Tinuod gayod nga katawhan ko sila, mga anak nga dili moluib.” Ug nahimo siyang ilang Manluluwas.

Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.

9 Bisan pa sa ilang mga kalisdanan, nag-antos usab siya, ug giluwas sila sa anghel nga gikan sa iyang presensiya. Sa iyang gugma ug kaluoy giluwas niya sila, ug gibayaw niya sila ug giagak sila sa tibuok nga nangaging panahon.

When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].

10 Apan misupak sila ug gipasubo ang iyang Balaang Espiritu. Busa nahimo siyang ilang kaaway ug nakig-away batok kanila.

But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.

11 Nahinumdom ang iyang katawhan bahin sa milabay nga kapanahonan ni Moises. Miingon sila, “Asa man ang Dios, nga nagpagawas kanila sa dagat uban ang mga magbalantay sa panon sa iyang mga kahayopan? Asa man ang Dios, nga nagbutang sa iyang Balaang Espiritu taliwala kanila?

Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?

12 Asa man ang Dios, nga nagpauban sa iyang mahimayaong gahom sa tuong kamot ni Moises, ug mibahin sa tubig sa ilang atubangan, aron manganlan ang iyang kaugalingon sa walay kataposan?

Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?

13 Asa man ang Dios, nga migiya kanila latas sa kinahiladman sa tubig? Daw kabayo nga nagdagan sa patag, nga wala gayod madagma.

Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.

14 Daw mga baka nga milugsong padulong sa walog, ang Espiritu ni Yahweh nagpapahulay kanila. Busa gipangulohan mo ang imong katawhan, aron paghimo sa imong kaugalingon ug usa ka ngalan nga daygon.

They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”

15 Sud-onga kami gikan sa langit ug tan-awa kami gikan sa imong balaan ug mahimayaon nga pinuy-anan. Asa naman ang imong kadasig ug gamhanang mga buhat? Gipahilayo mo na man kanamo ang imong kaluoy ug ang imong pagpangga.

[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.

16 Kay ikaw man ang among amahan, bisan pa ug wala kami mailhi ni Abraham, ug wala kami tagda sa Israel, ikaw, O Yahweh, mao ang among amahan. 'Among Manunubos' ang imong ngalan sukad pa sa nangaging panahon.

You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.

17 O Yahweh, nganong gipahisalaag mo man kami gikan sa imong mga dalan ug gipatig-a ang among mga kasingkasing, aron dili kami motuman kanimo? Balik alang sa kaayohan sa imong mga sulugoon, ang mga tribo sa imong mga kabilin.

Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.

18 Gipanag-iya sa imong katawhan ang imong balaang dapit sulod sa mubong panahon, apan giyatakyatakan kini sa among mga kaaway.

We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.

19 Nahisama kami niadtong mga wala mo gayod mandoi, sama niadtong wala gayod gitawag sa imong ngalan.”

Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
