Isaiah 63
1 Who is this coming from Edom, from the town of Bozrah with clothes stained crimson? Who is this wearing robes of splendor, leaning forward in his great strength as he marches? It is me, the one who always speaks goodness and truth, the one who has the power to save.
Sino itong dumarating mula sa Bozra, nasa Edom, na nakadamit na pula? Sino siyang naka maharlikang kasuotan, nagmamartsa nang may katiyakan dahil sa kanyang dakilang kalakasan? Ako ito na nagsasalita ng katuwiran at may makapangyarihang kakayanan magligtas.
2 Why are your clothes red, like you've been treading grapes in a winepress?
Bakit pula ang suot mo na mukhang nagpipisa ka ng mga ubas sa pigaan nito?
3 I've been treading the winepress by myself; from the nations around no one came to help me. So in my anger I trod them down as if they were grapes, in my fury I trampled them. It's their blood that has stained my clothes.
Mag-isa kong tinapakan ang mga ubas sa pigaan, at walang sinuman mula sa mga bansa ang sumama sa akin. Tinapakan ko sila sa aking poot at dinurog ko sila sa aking matinding galit. Tumilamsik ang kanilang dugo at minantsahan ang lahat ng aking kasuotan.
4 For I decided this was the day of my vengeance; the year of my redemption has come.
Dahil inaasam-asam ko ang araw ng paghihiganti, at dumating na ang taon para sa aking pagtubos.
5 I looked around, but no one came to help; I was shocked that there was no one to assist me. So I saved them through my own strength alone, and my own anger kept me going.
Naghanap ako pero walang sinuman ang makakatulong. Nagtaka ako na walang makakatulong, pero ang aking sariling bisig ang nagdala sa akin sa katagumpayan at pinalakas ako ng aking matinding galit.
6 I trampled down the nations in my anger; in my fury I made them drunk, and spilled their blood upon the ground.
Sa aking galit dinurog ko ang mga mamamayan at sa aking poot nilasing ko sila, at isinaboy ko ang kanilang dugo sa lupa.
7 I want to tell everyone about the Lord's trustworthy love. I will praise the Lord for everything he's done for us—all the good things he has done for the descendants of Israel because of his kindness and his infinite trustworthy love.
Sasabihin ko ang mga gawa ng katapatan sa tipan ni Yahweh, ang mga kapuri-puring mga ginawa niya para sa atin at ang kanyang dakilang kabutihan sa bayan ng Israel. Ang kahabagang ito ay naipakita niya sa atin dahil sa kanyang awa at sa maraming mga gawa ng katapatan sa tipan.
8 He said, “Aren't they my people, children who wouldn't lie to me?” So he became their Savior.
Dahil sinabi niya, “Tiyak na sila ang aking bayan, mga anak na hindi taksil.” Siya ay kanilang naging Tagapagligtas.
9 He suffered with them in all their suffering, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and kindness he redeemed them. He picked them up and carried them all throughout those years long ago.
Nagdusa rin siya sa lahat ng kanilang pagdurusa at ang anghel mula sa kanyang presensya ang nagligtas sa kanila. Sa kanyang pag-ibig at habag sila ay kanyang iniligtas, sila ay kanyang itinaas at iningatan sa buong sinaunang panahon.
10 But they rebelled against him, and caused his Holy Spirit grief, so to them he became like an enemy and he fought against them.
Pero sila ay nagrebelde at pinighati ang kanyang Banal na Espiritu. Kaya siya ay naging kaaway nila at nakipaglaban sa kanila.
11 Then they thought back to the days of old when Moses led his people out of Egypt. They shouted out, “Where is the one who took Israel through the sea, along with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who placed his Holy Spirit among his people?
Naalala ng kanyang bayan ang tungkol sa sinaunang panahon ni Moises. Sinabi nila, “Nasaan ang Diyos, na naglabas sa kanila sa dagat kasama ang mga pastol ng kanyang kawan? Nasaan ang Diyos na naglagay sa kanila ng kanyang Banal na Espiritu?
12 Where is the one who lifted Moses' right hand, and who used his amazing power to divided the sea in front of them, giving him such a wonderful, enduring reputation?
Nasaan ang Diyos, na naglagay ng kanyang dakilang kapangyarihan sa kanang kamay ni Moises, at hinawi ang tubig ng dagat sa kanilang harapan para gumawa ng walang hanggang pangalan para sa kanyang sarili?
13 Where is the one who led them through the depths of the sea?” They were like a horse running through the desert, they didn't stumble.
Nasaan ang Diyos na pinangunahan sila sa pagtawid sa malalim na dagat? Tulad ng isang kabayo na tumatakbo sa patag na lupa, sila ay hindi nadapa.
14 Like cattle descending into a valley, the Lord's Spirit gave them rest. This is how you led your people, earning a glorious reputation for yourself.
Gaya ng baka na bumababa papunta sa lambak, ganun din sila binigyan ng kapahingahan ng Espiritu ni Yahweh. Kaya ginabayan mo ang iyong bayan para sa kapurihan ng iyong sariling pangalan.
15 Lord, look down on us from heaven! Watch from your high home, in your holiness and glory! Where is your enthusiasm and power? You're not showing me your feelings of sympathy and kindness!
Tumingin ka mula sa langit at magbigay pansin mula sa iyong banal at maluwalhating tahanan. Nasaan ang iyong kasigasigan at makapangyarihang mga gawa? Ipinagkait sa amin ang iyong awa at habag.
16 But you are still our Father, even though Abraham wouldn't know us and Israel wouldn't acknowledge us. You, Lord, are our Father; you have always been called our Redeemer from long ago.
Dahil ikaw ay aming ama, kahit hindi kami kilala ni Abraham at hindi kinikilala ng Israel, ikaw, Yahweh, ang aming ama. 'Aming Manunubos' ang naging pangalan mo mula pa noong sinaunang panahon.
17 Lord, why do you make us wander from your ways, and make us stubborn so we don't respect you? Come back to us for the sake of your servants, the tribes that belong to you.
Yahweh, bakit mo kami hinayaang maligaw mula sa iyong mga landas at tumigas ang aming mga puso kaya hindi ka na namin sinusunod? Bumalik ka para sa kapakanan ng iyong mga lingkod, ang mga lipi ng iyong pamana.
18 Your Temple belonged to us for a little while, but then our enemies invaded and destroyed it.
Ang bayan mo ang nagmay-ari ng iyong banal na lugar sa maiksing panahon, pero pagkatapos niyurakan ito ng aming mga kaaway.
19 We were yours from ancient times, but we've ended up like people you've never ruled, never identified as yours.
Kami ay naging tulad ng mga hindi mo kailanman pinamahalaan at tinawag sa pamamagitan ng iyong pangalan.”
