Isaiah 27
1 At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
Sa araw na yaon ay parurusahan ng Panginoon, ng kaniyang matigas at malaki at matibay na tabak ang leviatan na maliksing ahas, at ang leviatan na lumilikaw na ahas, at kaniyang papatayin ang buwaya na nasa dagat.
2 At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
Sa araw na yaon: Awitin ninyo sa kaniya ang tungkol sa isang ubasang pinagkunan ng alak.
3 I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
Akong Panginoon ang nagiingat; aking didiligin tuwituwina: baka saktan ng sinoman, aking iingatan gabi't araw.
4 I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
Kagalitan ay hindi sumasa akin: kung makipagbaka sana ang mga dawag at mga tinik laban sa akin! akin yaong yayapakan, aking susunuging magkakasama.
5 unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
O manghawak sana siya sa aking lakas, upang siya'y makipagpayapaan sa akin; oo, makipagpayapaan siya sa akin.
6 There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
Sa mga araw na darating ay maguugat ang Jacob; ang Israel ay mamumulaklak at magbubuko: at pupunuin nila ng bunga ang ibabaw ng sanglibutan.
7 [But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
Sinaktan baga niya siya na gaya ng pagsakit niya sa mga yaon, na nanakit sa kaniya? o pinatay siya ng ayon sa pagpatay nila, na napatay niya?
8 [No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
Sa sukat, pagka iyong pinayayaon siya, ikaw ay nakikipagtalo sa kaniya; kaniyang binago siya ng kaniyang pagispis na hihip sa kaarawan ng silanganang hangin.
9 Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
Kaya't sa pamamagitan nito ay malilinis ang kasamaan ng Jacob, at ito ang buong bunga ng pagaalis ng kaniyang kasalanan: pagka kaniyang ginagawa ang mga bato ng dambana na gaya ng mga malambot na batong naluluray upang ang mga Asera at ang mga Iarawang araw ay hindi na matatayo.
10 The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
Sapagka't ang bayang nakukutaan ay nagiisa, isang tahanang pinabayaan at iniwanan gaya ng ilang: doon manginginain ang guya, at doon hihiga, at kakainin ang mga sanga niyaon.
11 [The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
Pagka ang mga sanga niyaon ay nangatuyo, babaliin; paroroonan ng mga babae at igagatong sa apoy: sapagka't bayan na walang unawa; kaya't ang gumawa sa kanila ay hindi magdadalang habag sa kanila, at ang naganyo sa kanila ay hindi magpapakita sa kanila ng lingap.
12 [However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na lalagasin ng Panginoon ang bunga niyaon mula sa agos ng ilog hanggang sa batis ng Egipto, at kayo'y mapipisang isa isa, Oh kayong mga anak ni Israel.
13 At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ang malaking pakakak ay hihipan; at silang nangapapahamak sa lupain ng Asiria ay magsisiparito, at silang mga tapon sa lupain ng Egipto; at sila'y magsisisamba sa Panginoon sa banal na bundok ng Jerusalem.
