< Isaiah 63 >
1 Who is this, who arrives from Edom with dyed garments from Bozrah? This is the Handsome One in his robe, advancing by the fullness of his strength. It is I, the Speaker of Justice, and I am the Fighter for Salvation.
Sino ito na nanggagaling sa Edom, na may mga kasuutang tinina mula sa Bosra? itong maluwalhati sa kaniyang suot, na lumalakad sa di kawasang lakas? Ako na nagsasalita ng katuwiran, makapangyarihang magligtas.
2 So then, why is your garment red, and why are your vestments like the ones of those who tread the winepress?
Bakit ka mapula sa iyong kasuutan, at ang iyong damit ay gaya niyaong yumayapak sa alilisan ng alak?
3 I have trod the winepress alone. And among the nations, there is no man beside me. I have trampled on them in my fury, and I have tread them down in my wrath. And so, their blood has been sprinkled on my vestments, and I have stained all my garments.
Aking niyapakang magisa ang alilisan ng alak; at sa mga bayan ay walang isang sumasa akin: oo, aking niyapakan siya sa aking galit, at aking niyurakan sila sa aking kapusukan; at ang kanilang dugong buhay ay pumilansik sa aking mga suot, at natigmak ang buong suot ko.
4 For the day of vengeance is in my heart. The year of my redemption has arrived.
Sapagka't ang kaarawan ng panghihiganti ay nasa aking puso, at ang taon ng aking mga tinubos ay dumating.
5 I gazed around, and there was no one to assist. I sought, and there was no one who would help. And so, my own arm has saved for me, and my own wrath itself has assisted me.
At ako'y lumingap, at walang tumulong; at ako'y namangha na walang umalalay: kaya't iniligtas ako ng aking sariling kamay; at ang aking kapusukan, ay umalalay sa akin.
6 And I have trampled the peoples in my fury, and I have inebriated them with my indignation, and I have torn down their strength to the ground.
At aking niyapakan ang mga bayan sa aking galit, at nilango ko sila sa aking kapusukan, at ibinubo sa lupa ang kanilang dugong buhay.
7 I will remember the compassion of the Lord, the praise of the Lord over all that the Lord has bestowed on us, and over the multitude of his good things for the house of Israel, which he has granted to them according to his leniency, and according to the multitude of his mercies.
Aking babanggitin ang mga kagandahang-loob ng Panginoon, at ang mga kapurihan ng Panginoon, ayon sa lahat na ipinagkaloob ng Panginoon sa amin, at ang malaking kabutihan na kaniyang ginawa sa sangbahayan ni Israel na kaniyang ginawa sa kanila ayon sa kaniyang mga kaawaan, at ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga kagandahang-loob.
8 And he said: “Yet truly, these are my people, sons who have not been disowned.” And he became their Savior.
Sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Tunay, sila'y aking bayan, mga anak na hindi magsisigawang may kasinungalingan: sa gayo'y siya'y naging Tagapagligtas sa kanila.
9 Throughout all their tribulation, he was not troubled, for the Angel of his presence saved them. With his love, and by his leniency, he has redeemed them, and he has carried them and lifted them up, throughout all the days of the ages.
Sa lahat nilang kadalamhatian ay nagdadalamhati siya, at iniligtas sila ng anghel na nasa kaniyang harapan: sa kaniyang pagibig at sa kaniyang pagkaawa ay tinubos niya sila; at kaniyang kinilik sila at kinalong silang lahat noong araw.
10 But they themselves provoked to wrath and afflicted his Holy Spirit, and he was turned to be for them like an enemy, and he himself went to war against them.
Nguni't sila'y nanganghimagsik, at namanglaw ang kaniyang banal na Espiritu: kaya't siya'y naging kaaway nila, at siya rin ang nakipaglaban sa kanila.
11 And he remembered the days of ancient times, the days of Moses and his people. Where is he who led them out of the sea, with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he who placed his Holy Spirit in their midst?
Nang magkagayo'y inalaala niya ang mga araw nang una, si Moises at ang kaniyang bayan, na sinasabi, Saan nandoon siya na nagahon sa kanila mula sa dagat, na kasama ng mga pastor ng kaniyang kawan? saan nandoon siya na kumakasi ng kaniyang banal na Espiritu sa kanila?
12 He led Moses by the right hand, with the arm of his majesty. He split the waters before them, in order to make an everlasting name for himself.
Na inaakbayan ng kaniyang maluwalhating bisig ang kanang kamay ni Moises? na humawi ng tubig sa harap nila, upang gawan ang kaniyang sarili ng walang hanggang pangalan?
13 He led them through the abyss, like a horse which does not stumble, in the desert.
Na pumatnubay sa kanila sa mga kalaliman, na parang isang kabayo sa ilang, upang sila'y huwag mangatisod?
14 Like an animal who descends to an open field, the Spirit of the Lord was their guide. Thus did you lead your people, in order to make a glorious name for yourself.
Kung paanong ang kawan na bumababa sa libis, ay pinapagpapahinga ng Espiritu ng Panginoon: gayon mo pinatnubayan ang iyong bayan, upang gawan mo ang iyong sarili ng maluwalhating pangalan.
15 Gaze down from heaven, and behold from your holy habitation and from your glory. Where is your zeal, and your strength, the fullness of your heart and of your compassion? They have held themselves back from me.
Tumungo ka mula sa langit, at tumingin ka, mula sa tahanan ng iyong kabanalan at ng iyong kaluwalhatian: saan nandoon ang iyong sikap at ang iyong mga makapangyarihang gawa? ang iyong pagmamagandang-loob at ang iyong mga habag ay iniurong mo sa akin.
16 For you are our Father, and Abraham has not known us, and Israel has been ignorant of us. You are our Father, O Lord our Redeemer. Your name is beyond all ages.
Sapagka't ikaw ay aming Ama, bagaman hindi kami kinilala ni Abraham, at hindi kami kilala ng Israel: ikaw, Oh Panginoon, ay aming Ama, aming Manunubos na mula sa walang pasimula ay siya mong pangalan.
17 Why have you allowed us to stray from your ways, O Lord? Why have you hardened our heart, so that we do not fear you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance.
Oh Panginoon; bakit mo kami iniligaw na inihiwalay sa iyong mga daan, at pinapagmatigas mo ang aming puso na inihiwalay sa takot sa iyo? Ikaw ay magbalik dahil sa iyong mga lingkod, na mga lipi ng iyong mana.
18 They have possessed your holy people as if it were nothing. Our enemies have trampled your sanctuary.
Inaring sangdali lamang ng iyong banal na bayan: niyapakan ng aming mga kaaway ang iyong santuario.
19 We have become as we were in the beginning, when you did not rule over us, and when we were not called by your name.
Kami ay naging gaya ng hindi mga pinagpunuan kailan man, gaya ng hindi nangatawag sa iyong pangalan.
