Isaiah 48
1 Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.
Iyong dinggin ito, Oh sangbahayan ni Jacob, na tinatawag sa pangalan ng Israel, at nagsilabas sa bukal ng Juda; na nagsisumpa sa pangalan ng Panginoon, at nagsibanggit ng Dios ng Israel, nguni't hindi sa katotohanan, o sa katuwiran man.
2 For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.
(Sapagka't sila'y tinatawag ayon sa bayang banal, at nagsitiwala sa Dios ng Israel; ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ang kaniyang pangalan):
3 I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.
Aking ipinahayag ang mga dating bagay mula nang una; oo, yao'y lumabas sa aking bibig, at aking ipinakilala: biglang ginawa ko, at nangyari.
4 Because I saw that your heart was hard, and that your neck was an iron cord, and your brow brass;
Sapagka't nakilala ko, na ikaw ay mapagmatigas, at ang iyong leeg ay parang litid na bakal, at ang iyong noo ay parang tanso:
5 For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.
Kaya't aking ipinahayag sa iyo mula nang una; bago nangyari ay ipinakilala ko sa iyo: baka iyong sabihin, Mga ginawa ng aking diosdiosan, at ang aking larawang inanyuan, at ang aking larawang binubo, nagutos sa kanila.
6 All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.
Iyong narinig; tingnan mong lahat ito; at kayo, hindi ba ninyo ipahahayag? Ako'y nagpakita sa iyo ng mga bagong bagay mula sa panahong ito, sa makatuwid baga'y mga kubling bagay na hindi mo naalaman.
7 They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.
Mga nalikha ngayon, at hindi mula nang una; at bago dumating ang araw na ito ay hindi mo nangarinig; baka iyong sabihin, Narito, aking nangaalaman.
8 Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.
Oo, hindi mo narinig; oo, hindi mo naalaman; oo, mula nang una ay hindi nabuksan ang iyong pakinig: sapagka't talastas ko na ikaw ay gumawa na totoong may kataksilan, at tinawag na mananalangsang mula sa bahay-bata.
9 Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.
Dahil sa aking pangalan ay aking iuurong ang aking galit, at dahil sa kapurihan ko ay aking ititigil, upang huwag kitang ihiwalay.
10 See, I have been testing you for myself like silver; I have put you through the fire of trouble.
Narito dinalisay kita, nguni't hindi parang pilak; pinili kita sa hurno ng kadalamhatian.
11 For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.
Dahil din sa akin, dahil din sa akin, aking gagawin yaon; sapagka't, bakit lalapastanganin ang aking pangalan? at ang kaluwalhatian ko ay hindi ko ibinigay sa iba.
12 Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.
Inyong dinggin ako, Oh Jacob, at Israel na tinawag ko: Ako nga; ako ang una, ako rin ang huli.
13 Yes, by my hand was the earth placed on its base, and by my right hand the heavens were stretched out; at my word they take up their places.
Oo, ang aking kamay ay siyang naglagay ng patibayan ng lupa, at ang aking kanan ay siyang nagladlad ng langit: pagka ako'y tumatawag sa kanila, sila'y nagsisitayong magkakasama.
14 Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.
Kayo'y magpipisan, kayong lahat, at inyong dinggin; sino sa kanila ang nagpahayag ng mga bagay na ito? Siyang iniibig ng Panginoon ay kaniyang tutuparin ang kaniyang kaligayahan sa Babilonia, at bubuhatin niya ang kaniyang kamay sa mga Caldeo.
15 I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.
Ako, ako nga'y nagsalita; oo, aking tinawag siya; aking dinala siya; at kaniyang pagiginhawahin ang kaniyang lakad.
16 Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.
Kayo'y magsilapit sa akin, inyong dinggin ito; mula sa pasimula ay hindi ako nagsalita ng lihim; mula nang panahon na nangyari ito, nandoon nga ako: at ngayo'y sinugo ako ng Panginoong Dios, at nang kaniyang Espiritu.
17 The Lord who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, I am the Lord your God, who is teaching you for your profit, guiding you by the way in which you are to go.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng inyong Manunubos, ng Banal ng Israel, Ako ang Panginoon mong Dios, na nagtuturo sa iyo ng mapapakinabangan, na pumapatnubay sa iyo sa daan na iyong marapat na lakaran.
18 If only you had given ear to my orders, then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Oh kung dininig mo ang aking mga utos! ang iyo ngang kapayapaan ay naging parang ilog, at ang iyong katuwiran ay parang mga alon sa dagat:
19 Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.
Ang iyo namang lahi ay naging parang buhangin at ang suwi ng iyong tiyan ay parang mga butil niyaon: ang kaniyang pangalan ay hindi mahihiwalay o magigiba man sa harap ko.
20 Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.
Kayo'y magsilabas sa Babilonia, inyong takasan ang mga Caldeo; kayo'y mangagpahayag na may tinig ng awitan, inyong saysayin ito, itanyag ninyo hanggang sa wakas ng lupa: inyong sabihin, Tinubos ng Panginoon ang Jacob na kaniyang lingkod.
21 They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.
At sila'y hindi nangauhaw nang pinapatnubayan niya sila sa mga ilang; kaniyang pinaagos ang tubig mula sa bato para sa kanila; kaniyang ginuwangan din naman ang bato, at ang tubig ay bumukal.
22 There is no peace, says the Lord, for the evil-doers.
Walang kapayapaan sa masama, sabi ng Panginoon.
