Isaiah 8
1 And YHWH says to me, “Take a great tablet to yourself, and write on it with an engraving tool of man, To hurry spoil, enjoy prey.”
Sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Kumuha ka ng malapad na bato at iukit mo dito ang, 'Maher Shalal Has Baz.'
2 And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah.
Tatawag ako ng mga tapat na mga saksi para magpatotoo para sa akin, ang paring si Urias, at Zacarias na anak ni Jeberequias.”
3 And I draw near to the prophetess, and she conceives, and bears a son; and YHWH says to me, “Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,
Pumunta ako sa babaeng propeta, at siya ay nagbuntis at nagsilang ng anak na lalaki. At sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh, “Pangalanan mo siyang Maher Shalal Has Baz.”
4 for before the youth knows to cry, My father, and, My mother, one takes away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria, before the king of Asshur.”
Sapagkat bago pa lang matutong sumigaw ang bata ng 'Aking tatay' at 'Aking nanay,' ang kayamanan ng Damasco at ang nasamsam ng Samaria ay dadalhin ng hari ng Asiria.
5 And YHWH adds to speak to me again, saying,
Nangusap muli si Yahweh sa akin,
6 “Because that this people has refused The waters of Shiloah that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
“Dahil tinanggihan ng mga tao ang banayad na tubig ng Shiloah, at masaya pa sila kay Rezin at sa anak ni Remalias,
7 Therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters of the river, the mighty and the great (The king of Asshur, and all his glory), And it has gone up over all its streams, And has gone on over all its banks.
kaya ipapadala sa kanila ng Panginoon ang mga tubig ng Ilog, malakas at marami, ang hari ng Asiria at ang lahat ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian. Dadaloy sa lahat ng mga kanal nito at aapaw sa mga pampang,
8 And it has passed on into Judah, It has overflown and passed over, It comes to the neck, And the stretching out of its wings Has been the fullness of the breadth of your land, O Immanuel!
at palulubugin nito ang Juda, babaha at aagos, hanggang sa umabot ito sa inyong mga leeg. Ang kaniyang nakabukang mga pakpak ang tatabon sa buong lupain, Immanuel.”
9 Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all you far-off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird yourselves, and be broken.
Madudurog kayong mga tao ng pira-piraso. Makinig, kayong malalayong bansa: maghanda kayo para sa digmaan at kayo ay dudurugin ng pira-piraso. Ihanda ang inyong sarili at kayo ay dudurugin.
10 Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it does not stand, Because of Immanuel!”
Gumawa kayo ng plano, pero hindi ito maisasakatuparan; magbigay kayo ng utos pero hindi ito susundin, dahil ang Diyos ay kasama namin.
11 For thus has YHWH spoken to me with strength of hand, and instructs me against walking in the way of this people, saying,
Nangusap sa akin si Yahweh, ang kaniyang makapangyarihang kamay ay nasa akin, at binalaan akong huwag sumunod sa pamumuhay ng mga taong ito.
12 “You do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people says, A confederacy, And its fear you do not fear, Nor declare fearful.
Huwag ninyong tawaging pagsasabwatan ang alinmang tinuturing na pagsasabwatan ng mga taong ito; huwag kang matakot sa kinakatakutan nila, at huwag kang magpasindak.
13 YHWH of Hosts—Him you sanctify, And He [is] your Fear, and He your Dread,
Si Yahweh ng mga hukbo, pararangalan ninyo siya bilang banal, katatakutan ninyo siya, at siya ang dapat ninyong pangambahan.
14 And He has been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of Israel, For a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Siya ay magiging santuaryo; pero siya ay tulad ng isang bato na tatama sa kanila, at isang malaking bato na makakapagpatumba sa dalawang bahay ng Israel. At siya ay magiging patibong at silo sa mamamayan ng Jersusalem.
15 And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been broken, and snared, and captured.”
Marami ang matitisod dito, madadapa at masisira, masisilo at mabibihag.
16 Bind up the testimony, Seal the Law among My disciples.
Ibalumbon mo ang aking patotoo, selyuhan ang opisyal na tala, at ibigay ito sa aking mga alagad.
17 And I have waited for YHWH, Who is hiding His face from the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him.
Maghihintay ako kay Yahweh, siya na itinatago ang kaniyang mukha mula sa bahay ni Jacob; maghihintay ako sa kaniya.
18 Behold, I, and the children whom YHWH has given to me, [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From YHWH of Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion.
Tingnan, ako at ang mga anak na lalaki na binigay sa akin ni Yahweh ang magsisilbing tanda at himala sa Israel mula kay Yahweh ng mga Hukbo, na nananahan sa Bundok ng Sion.
19 And when they say to you, “Seek to those having familiar spirits, And to wizards, who chatter and mutter,” Does a people not seek to its God? To the dead on behalf of the living?
Sasabihan ka nila, “Kumunsulta ka sa mga manghuhula at mga salamangkero,” silang mga nagsasambit at bumubulong ng mga dasal. Pero hindi ba dapat sa Diyos kumukunsulta ang mga tao? Mas nararapat bang konsultahin nila ang patay para sa mga nabubuhay?
20 To the Law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after this manner, “That there is no dawn to it.”
Kaya inyong ituon ang inyong atensyon sa batas at patotoo! Kapag hindi nila sinabi ang bagay na ito, ito ay dahil wala silang liwanag ng umaga.
21 And it has passed over into it, hardened and hungry, And it has come to pass, That it is hungry, and has been angry, And made light of its king, and of its God, And has looked upwards.
Sila ay maglalakbay sa lupain na naghihirap at nagugutom. Kapag sila ay nagutom, magagalit sila at susumpain nila ang kanilang hari at ang Diyos, habang sila ay nakatingala.
22 And it looks attentively to the land, And behold, adversity and darkness! Dimness, distress, and thick darkness are driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress!
Pagmamasdan nila ang lupa at makikita ang paghihirap, kadiliman at mapang-aping kalungkutan. Sila ay itataboy tungo sa lupain ng kadiliman.
