Isaiah 5
1 I will sing to my beloved the canticle of my paternal cousin, about his vineyard. A vineyard was made for my beloved, at the horn in the son of oil.
Paawitin ninyo ako sa aking pinakamamahal, ng awit ng aking minamahal tungkol sa kaniyang ubasan. Ang aking pinakamamahal ay may ubasan sa isang mainam na burol:
2 And he fenced it in, and he picked the stones out of it, and he planted it with the best vines, and he built a tower in the middle of it, and he set up a winepress within it. And he expected it to produce grapes, but it produced wild vines.
At kaniyang binangbangan ang palibot at inalis ang mga bato, at tinamnan ng piling puno ng ubas, at nagtayo ng isang moog sa gitna niyaon, at tinabasan din naman ng isang pisaan ng ubas: at kaniyang hinintay na magbunga ng ubas, at nagbunga ng ubas gubat.
3 Now then, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah: judge between me and my vineyard.
At ngayon, Oh mga nananahan sa Jerusalem at mga tao sa Juda, hatulan ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, ako at ang aking ubasan.
4 What more should I have done for my vineyard that I did not do for it? Should I not have expected it to produce grapes, though it produced wild vines?
Ano pa ang magagawa ko sa aking ubasan na hindi ko nagawa? ano't nang aking hinihintay na magbubunga ng mga ubas, nagbunga ng ubas gubat?
5 And now, I will reveal to you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence, and it will be plundered. I will pull down its wall, and it will be trampled.
At ngayo'y aking sasaysayin sa inyo ang gagawin ko sa aking ubasan: aking aalisin ang bakod na siit niyaon, at sasalantain; aking ibabagsak ang bakod niyaon at mayayapakan:
6 And I will make it desolate. It will not be pruned, and it will not be dug. And briers and thorns will rise up. And I will command the clouds not to rain upon it.
At aking pababayaang sira; hindi kakapunin o bubukirin man; kundi magsisitubo ay mga dawag at mga tinik: akin ding iuutos sa mga alapaap, na huwag nilang ulanan.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel. And the man of Judah is his delightful seedling. And I expected that he would do judgment, and behold iniquity, and that he would do justice, and behold an outcry.
Sapagka't ang ubasan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo ay ang sangbahayan ng Israel, at ang mga tao sa Juda ay ang kaniyang maligayang pananim: at siya'y naghihintay ng kahatulan, nguni't narito, kapighatian; ng katuwiran, nguni't narito, daing.
8 Woe to you who join house to house, and who combine field to field, even to the limits of the place! Do you intend to live alone in the midst of the earth?
Sa aba nila, na nangaguugpong ng bahay sa bahay, na nangaglalagay ng bukid sa bukid hanggang sa mawalan ng pagitan, at kayo'y magsisitahang magisa sa gitna ng lupain!
9 These things are in my ears, says the Lord of hosts. Otherwise, many houses, great and beautiful, will become desolate, without an inhabitant.
Sa aking mga pakinig ay sinasabi ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, Sa katotohana'y maraming bahay ang magigiba, malalaki at magaganda, na walang mananahan.
10 Then ten acres of vineyard will produce one small bottle of wine, and thirty measures of seed will produce three measures of grain.
Sapagka't sangpung acre ng ubasan ay mangagbubunga ng isang bath, at isang homer na binhi ay magbubunga ng isang epa.
11 Woe to you who rise up in the morning to pursue drunkenness, and to drink even until evening, so as to be inflamed with wine.
Sa aba nila na nagsisibangong maaga sa umaga, upang sila'y makasunod sa nakalalasing na inumin; na nagtatagal hanggang sa kalaliman ng gabi, hanggang sa magalab ang alak sa kanila!
12 Harp and lyre and timbrel and pipe, as well as wine, are at your feasts. But you do not respect the work of the Lord, nor do you consider the works of his hands.
At ang alpa at ang viola, ang pandareta at ang plauta, at ang alak, ay nangasa kanilang mga kapistahan: nguni't hindi nila pinakundanganan ang gawa ng Panginoon, o ginunita man nila ang gawa ng kaniyang mga kamay.
13 Because of this, my people have been led away as captives, for they did not have knowledge, and their nobles have passed away from famine, and their multitudes have dried up from thirst.
Kaya't ang aking bayan ay nasok sa pagkabihag, sa kasalatan sa kaalaman: at ang kanilang mararangal na tao ay nangagugutom, at ang kanilang karamihan ay nangahahandusay sa uhaw.
14 For this reason, Hell has expanded its soul, and has opened its mouth without any limits. And their strong ones, and their people, and their exalted and glorious ones will descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Kaya't pinalaki ng Sheol ang kaniyang nasa, at ibinuka ang kaniyang bibig ng walang sukat: at ang kanilang kaluwalhatian, at ang kanilang karamihan, at ang kanilang kahambugan, at ang nagagalak sa gitna nila ay bumaba roon. (Sheol h7585)
15 And man will be bowed down, and man will be humbled, and the eyes of the exalted will be brought low.
At ang taong hamak ay pinayuyukod, at ang makapangyarihang tao ay pinapagpapakumbaba, at ang mga mata ng nagmamataas ay pinapagpapakumbaba:
16 And the Lord of hosts will be exalted in judgment, and the holy God will be sanctified in justice.
Nguni't ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo ay nabunyi sa kahatulan, at ang Dios na Banal ay inaring banal sa katuwiran.
17 And the lambs will pasture in proper order, and new arrivals will eat from the deserts turned into fertile lands.
Kung magkagayo'y sasabsab ang mga kordero na gaya sa kanilang sabsaban, at ang mga sirang dako ng matataba ay kakanin ng mga palaboy.
18 Woe to you who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and who draw sin as if with the rope of a cart,
Sa aba nila na nagsisihila ng kasamaan sa pamamagitan ng mga panali ng walang kabuluhan, at ng kasalanan na tila panali ng kariton:
19 and who say: “Let him hurry, and let his work arrive soon, so that we may see it. And let the plan of the Holy One of Israel approach and arrive, so that we may know it.”
Na nagsasabi, Magmaliksi siya, madaliin niya ang kaniyang gawa upang aming makita: at lumapit at dumating nawa ang payo ng Banal ng Israel upang aming maalaman!
20 Woe to you who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light, and light for darkness; who exchange bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Sa aba nila na nagsisitawag ng mabuti ay masama, at ng masama ay mabuti; na inaaring dilim ang liwanag, at liwanag ang dilim; na inaaring mapait ang matamis, at matamis ang mapait!
21 Woe to you who are wise in your own eyes, and prudent in your own sight!
Sa aba nila na pantas sa kanilang sariling mga mata, at mabait sa kanilang sariling paningin!
22 Woe to you who are powerful at drinking wine, who are strong men in contriving inebriation!
Sa aba nila na malakas uminom ng alak, at mga taong malakas sa paghahalo ng matapang na inumin:
23 For you justify an impious man in exchange for bribes, and you carry away the justice of a just man from him.
Na nagsisiaring ganap sa masama dahil sa suhol, at inaalis ang katuwiran sa matuwid!
24 Because of this, as the tongue of fire devours stubble, and as the heat of a flame burns it completely, so will their root become like glowing embers, and so will their offshoot ascend like dust. For they have cast aside the law of the Lord of hosts, and they have blasphemed the eloquence of the Holy One of Israel.
Kaya't kung paanong ang liyab ng apoy ay pumupugnaw ng pinagputulan ng trigo, at kung paanong ang tuyong damo ay nasusupok sa alab, gayon magiging gaya ng kabulukan ang kanilang ugat, at ang kanilang bulaklak ay iilanglang na gaya ng alabok: sapagka't kanilang itinakuwil ang kautusan ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo, at hinamak ang salita ng Banal ng Israel.
25 For this reason, the fury of the Lord has been enraged against his people, and he has extended his hand over them, and he has struck them. And the mountains were disturbed. And their carcasses became like dung in the midst of the streets. After all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
Kaya't nagalab ang galit ng Panginoon laban sa kaniyang bayan, at iniunat niya ang kaniyang kamay laban sa kanila, at sinaktan sila, at ang mga burol ay nanginig, at ang kanilang mga bangkay ay naging dumi sa gitna ng mga lansangan. Sa lahat ng ito ay hindi napawi ang kaniyang galit, kundi laging nakaunat ang kaniyang kamay.
26 And he will lift up a sign to nations far away, and he will whistle to them from the ends of the earth. And behold, they will rush forward speedily.
At siya'y magtataas ng watawat sa mga bansa mula sa malayo, at susutsutan sila mula sa wakas ng lupa: at, narito, sila'y darating na lubhang nagmamadali:
27 There is no one weak or struggling among them. They will not become drowsy, and they will not sleep. Neither will the belt around their waist be loosened, nor the laces of their boots be broken.
Walang mapapagod o matitisod man sa kanila; walang iidlip o matutulog man; ni hindi man kakalagin ang pamigkis ng kanilang mga balakang, o mapapatid man ang mga panali ng kanilang mga panyapak:
28 Their arrows are sharp, and all their bows are taut. The hoofs of their horses are like flint, and their wheels are like the force of a tempest.
Na ang kanilang mga pana ay hasa, at lahat nilang busog ay nangakaakma; ang mga kuko ng kanilang mga kabayo ay maibibilang na parang pingkiang bato, at ang kanilang mga gulong ay parang ipoipo:
29 Their roaring is like the lion; they will roar like young lions. They will both roar and seize their prey. And they will wrap themselves around it, and there will be no one who can rescue it.
Ang kanilang angal ay magiging gaya ng sa leon, sila'y magsisiangal na gaya ng mga batang leon: oo, sila'y magsisiangal, at magsisipangal ng huli, at tatangayin, at walang magliligtas.
30 And in that day, they will make a noise over it, like the sound of the sea. We will gaze out toward the land, and behold, the darkness of the tribulation, and even the light has been darkened by its gloom.
At ang mga yao'y magsisiangal laban sa kanila sa araw na yaon na gaya ng hugong ng dagat: at kung tingnan ang lupain, narito, kadiliman at kahirapan, at ang liwanag ay magdidilim sa mga ulap niyaon.
