Isaiah 45
1 Cyrus is the one whom Yahweh has appointed [to be the emperor of Persia] and to whom he will give great power [IDM]; Yahweh will enable him to defeat other nations and to take away the power of their kings. He will cause gates of cities to be opened, and no one will ever be able to shut them.
Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, sa kaniyang hinirang, kay Ciro na ang kanang kamay ay aking hawak, para lupigin ang mga bansa sa harap niya, para tanggalan ng sandata ang mga hari, at para buksan ang mga pintuan sa kaniyang harapan, kaya ang mga tarangkahan ay mananatiling nakabukas:
2 This is what Yahweh says to him: “Cyrus, I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will smash down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
Ako ay mauuna sa iyo at ang mga bundok ay aking papatagin; aking wawasakin ang mga pintuang tanso at puputol-putulin ang kanilang bakal na rehas,
3 I will give you treasures [that people have hidden] in dark secret places [DOU]. I will do that in order that you will know that I am Yahweh, the God to whom the Israelis belong, the God who calls you by your name.
at ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga kayamanang nasa kadiliman at ang mga natatagong kayamanan, para inyong malaman na ako ito, si Yahweh, na tumatawag sa iyong pangalan, ako, ang Diyos ng Israel.
4 I have summoned you, calling out your name, for the sake of [the people of] Israel [DOU] whom I have chosen, who serve me. Even though you do not know me, I will give you a title which has great honor.
Para sa kapakanan ni Jacob na aking lingkod, at sa Israel na aking pinili, tinawag kita sa iyong pangalan: bibigyan ka ng isang pangalan na may karangalan, kahit hindi mo ako kinilala.
5 I am Yahweh, and there is no other God [DOU]. Even though you do not know me, I will give you power
Ako si Yahweh, at walang iba; walang ibang Diyos maliban sa akin. Bibigyan kita ng sandata para sa digmaan, kahit hindi mo ako kinilala;
6 in order that everyone in the world, from the east to the west, will know that there is no other [God]. I am Yahweh, and there is no other [God].
Para malaman ng mga tao mula sa pagsikat ng araw, at mula sa kanluran, na walang ibang diyos maliban sa akin: ako si Yahweh, at wala ng iba.
7 I created the light and the darkness. I cause there to be peace and I cause there to be disasters. I, Yahweh, do all those things.”
Ako ang lumikha ng liwanag at dilim; Ako ang nagbibigay ng kapayapaan at lumilikha ng kapahamakan; Ako si Yahweh, na gumagawa ng lahat ng bagay na ito.
8 [And Yahweh also says, “I want my] rescue [of my people] [MET] to fall from the sky like rain. Just like the earth opens wide to accept rain, I will rescue/save my people and cause them to be treated justly. I, Yahweh, am the one who will cause both of those things to happen.
Kayong mga langit, ibagsak ninyo ang ulan mula sa itaas! Hayaan ang mga himpapawid na umulan ng makatarungang kaligtasan. Hayaan ito ay sipsipin ng lupa, nang kaligtasan ay sumibol, at kasama nito tutubo ang katwiran. Ako, si Yahweh, ang lumikha sa kanilang dalawa.
9 Terrible things will happen to those who argue with me, the one who created them. [They are like] [MET] a clay pot and [I am like] the one who made it; so they certainly cannot [RHQ] criticize me. A lump of clay certainly cannot [RHQ] argue with the one who shapes it [to form a pot], saying, ‘Why are you making me like this?’ The pot cannot say ‘[You have no skill, because] what you made has no handles!’
Kaawa-awa ang sinumang nakikipagtalo sa lumalang sa kanya! Isang basag na palayok sa kalagitnaan ng lahat ng basag na palayok sa lupa! Dapat bang sabihin ng putik sa manlililok,' 'Ano ang iyong ginagawa? o, Ano ang iyong nililikha— wala ka bang mga kamay noong likhain mo ito?
10 And it would be terrible if an unborn baby would say to its father, ‘Why are you [RHQ] causing me to be born?’ or if it said to its mother, ‘The result of your labor pains will be useless?’”
Kaawa-awa ang nagsasabi sa isang ama, Para saan pa ang iyong pagiging ama? o sa isang babae, 'para saan at ikaw ay manganganak pa?'
11 Yahweh, the Holy One of the Israeli people, the one who created Israel, says this to them: “(Why do you ask questions about [what I do for you], my children?/You should not ask questions about [what I do for you], my children.) [RHQ] (Why do you tell me about the work that I should do?/You should not tell me about the work that I should do.) [RHQ]
Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, ang Banal ng Israel, kaniyang Manlilikha: tungkol sa mga bagay na darating, tinatanong ninyo ba ako tungkol sa aking mga anak? Sasabihin niyo ba sa akin kung ano ang gagawin ko sa gawa ng aking mga kamay?'
12 I am the one who created the earth and created people to live on it. I stretched out the sky with my hands, and I put the stars in their places.
Aking nilikha ang lupa at nilalang ang tao mula rito. Itong aking mga kamay ang naglatag ng kalangitan, at aking inutos sa lahat ng mga bituin na lumitaw.
13 And I will appoint Cyrus to do things that are right/just, and I will enable him to do all those things easily [MET]. His [workers] will rebuild my city, and he will free my people who have been (exiled/forced to leave their country). And he will do it without my rewarding/paying him! [Those things will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it.
Pinakilos ko si Ciro sa katuwiran, at tutuwirin ang lahat ng kaniyang mga landas. Itatayo niya ang aking lungsod; pauuwiin niya ang aking bayang ipinatapon, nang walang kapalit na bayad o suhol, “sinasabi ni Yahweh ng mga hukbo.
14 And this is [also] what [I], Yahweh, say [to you, my people]: ‘You will rule the people of Egypt and Ethiopia, and the tall people of Seba [in Arabia] will become your slaves. They will come to you bringing all the things that they sell, and it will all be yours. [As prisoners], they will have chains on their arms as they follow you. They will prostrate themselves in front of you and say, “God is with/helping you and he is the only God; there is no other God.” '”
Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, “Ang yaman ng Ehipto, at pangangalakal ng Ethiopia sa mga Sabeo, mga taong matataas ang kalagayan, ay dadalhin sa iyo. Sila ay magiging inyo. Sila ay magsisisunod sa inyo, magsisidating na may mga tanikala. Sila ay magpapatirapa sa iyo, at sila ay makikiusap sa iyo na sinasabing, Tunay na ang Diyos ay nasa iyo, at walang iba liban sa kanya.
15 God, although we cannot see you, you are the one to whom [we] Israeli people belong, the one who saves us.
Tunay nga na ikaw ay isang Diyos na kinukubli ang iyong sarili, Diyos ng Israel, na Tagapagligtas.
16 All those who make idols will be humiliated. They will all be disgraced together.
Mapapahiya at kahiya-hiya silang lahat; silang mga gumagawa ng diyus-diyosan ay lalakad sa kahihiyan.
17 But you, Yahweh, will rescue [us, your] Israeli people, and we will be free forever. Never again will we again be humiliated and disgraced.
Pero ang Israel ay ililigtas ni Yahweh nang walang hanggang kaligtasan; kayo ay hindi na muli mapapahiya.
18 Yahweh is God; he is the one who created the sky and created and formed the earth. He did not want it to remain with nothing living on it; he wanted people to live on it. [He says], “I am Yahweh; there is no other [God].
Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh, na lumikha ng kalangitan, ang tunay na Diyos na gumawa ng lupa at lumikha nito, na siyang nagtatag nito. Kaniyang nilikha ito, hindi para masayang, para panahanan: “Ako si Yahweh, at wala akong kapantay.
19 [What I proclaimed], I did not speak secretly or [hide what I was saying by speaking] in a dark place. When I spoke to the descendants of Jacob, I did not tell them ‘It will be useless for you to (seek for/pray to) me!’ I, Yahweh, speak [only] what is true and what is right.
Ako ay hindi nagsalita ng palihim, sa mga tagong lugar; hindi ko sinabi sa lahi ni Jacob, 'Hanapin ninyo ko ng walang katuturan!' Ako si Yahweh, ay nagsasalita ng totoo; inihahayag ko ang mga bagay na matuwid.
20 You people who are still alive after experiencing great disasters, should come and gather together [and listen to this]: The people who carry around their wooden idols and pray to them are foolish, because those idols cannot rescue them!
Tipunin ang inyong mga sarili at lumapit! Magsama-sama kayong mga nakasumpong ng kanlungan mula sa mga bansa! Sila ay walang nalalaman, sila na nagdadala ng larawang inukit at nanalangin sa mga diyos na hindi nakapagliligtas.
21 Talk among yourselves, and decide what you will say to prove that [your praying to idols is good]. [And when you do that, I will ask you], ‘Who predicted long ago [what has now happened]? Did any idol tell you [that those things would happen] [RHQ]?’ No, it was [RHQ] only I, Yahweh, who told you, because I am the only God; there is no other God. I am a God who acts righteously and saves people; there is no other one [who does these things].
Magsilapit at ipahayag ito sa akin, magdala ng katibayan! Hayaan silang magsisabwatan. Sino ang nagpakita nito mula nang unang panahon? Sinong nagpahayag nito? Hindi ba ako, na si Yahweh? At walang ibang Diyos maliban sa akin, ang makatarungang Diyos at ang Tagapagligtas; walang iba maliban sa akin.
22 Everyone in the world should ask me to save them, because I am the only God who can do that; there is no other one.
Bumalik kayo sa akin at maligtas, lahat ng nasa sulok ng mundo; dahil ako ang Diyos, at walang ibang diyos.
23 I have solemnly declared, using my own name; I [SYN] have spoken what is true, and I will never change what I have said: [Some day], everyone [SYN] will bow in front of me, and they will all solemnly promise to be loyal to me.
Ako ay sumusumpa sa aking sarili, sinasabi ang aking makatarungang atas, at hindi ito babalik: Sa akin ang bawat tuhod ay luluhod, bawat dila ay susumpa,
24 They will declare, ‘Yahweh is the one who enables us to live righteously and to be strong.’” And all those who have been angry at him will come to him, and they will be ashamed [for having been angry with him].
na nagsasabing, “Kay Yahweh lamang ang kaligtasan at kalakasan. Ang lahat ng nagagalit sa kaniya ay manliliit sa kahihiyan sa kaniyang harapan.
25 Yahweh is the only one who will enable [us] Israeli people in the future to defeat our enemies, [and then] we will boast about what he [has done for us].
Kay Yahweh, ang lahat ng kaapu-apuhan ng Israel ay mapapawalang sala; ipagmamalaki nila siya.
