Isaiah 59
1 Listen to this! Yahweh’s power [MTY] is not ended/gone, with the result that he cannot save [you]. He has not become deaf [MTY], with the result that he cannot hear [you when you call to him for help].
Narito, ang kamay ng Panginoon ay hindi umiksi, na di makapagligtas; ni hindi man mahina ang kaniyang pakinig, na di makarinig.
2 But, you have separated yourselves from your God by the sins that you have committed. Because of your sins, he has turned away from you, with the result that he does not pay attention to what you request him to do.
Kundi pinapaghiwalay ng inyong mga kasamaan kayo at ang inyong Dios, at ang inyong mga kasalanan ay siyang nagpakubli ng kaniyang mukha sa inyo, upang siya'y huwag makinig.
3 You do violent things [MTY] [to others], with the result that your hands are stained with their blood. You [constantly] tell [MTY] lies, and you say [MTY] evil things [about others].
Sapagka't ang inyong mga kamay ay nadumhan ng dugo, at ang inyong mga daliri ng kasamaan; ang inyong mga labi ay nangagsalita ng mga kasinungalingan, ang inyong dila ay nagsasalita ng kasamaan.
4 When you accuse someone in court, what you say is not fair and it is not true. You accuse people falsely. You are [constantly] planning to cause trouble for others, and then you do those evil things that you planned.
Walang dumadaing ng katuwiran at walang nanananggalang ng katotohanan: sila'y nagsisitiwala sa walang kabuluhan, at nangagsasalita ng mga kasinungalingan; sila'y nangaglilihi ng kalikuan, at nanganganak ng kasamaan.
5 What you plan to do to harm people [MET] is as dangerous as the eggs of a (cobra/poisonous snake), because cobras will hatch from those eggs. You trap people like [MET] spiders trap/catch insects in their webs.
Sila'y pumipisa ng mga itlog ng ahas, at gumagawa ng bahay gagamba: ang kumakain ng kanilang itlog ay namamatay; at ang napipisa ay nilalabasan ng ulupong.
6 We people cannot hide/cover our skin with clothes made of spider webs [MET], and similarly you cannot hide the evil things that you have done. You are [constantly] acting [MTY] violently.
Ang kanilang mga bahay gagamba ay hindi magiging mga kasuutan, o magsusuot man sila ng kanilang mga gawa: ang kanilang mga gawa ay mga gawa ng kasamaan, at ang kilos ng karahasan ay nasa kanilang mga kamay.
7 You [SYN] are very quick to go and do evil things, and you hurry to murder people [MTY] who are innocent. You are [continually] thinking about sinning. Wherever you go, you destroy things and cause people to suffer.
Tinatakbo ng kanilang mga paa ang kasamaan, at sila'y nangagmamadaling magbubo ng walang salang dugo: ang kanilang mga pagiisip ay mga pagiisip ng kasamaan; kawasakan at kagibaan ay nasa kanilang mga landas.
8 You do not know how to act peacefully or to treat others fairly. You always are (dishonest/deceiving others) [MET], and those who imitate your behavior never have any inner peace.
Ang daan ng kapayapaan ay hindi nila nalalaman: at walang kahatulan sa kanilang mga lakad: sila'y nagsigawa para sa kanila ng mga likong landas; sinomang lumalakad doon ay hindi nakakaalam ng kapayapaan.
9 Because of that, God does not rescue us [from our enemies]; [it seems that] he is not acting fairly/righteously toward us. We expect [God to give us] light, but all [he gives us] is darkness [DOU].
Kaya't ang kahatulan ay malayo sa amin, o umaabot man sa amin ang katuwiran: kami'y nagsisihanap ng liwanag, nguni't narito, kadiliman; ng kaliwanagan, nguni't nagsisilakad kami sa kadiliman.
10 We are like [SIM] blind people who have to feel along a wall to be able to walk anywhere. We stumble [and trip] at noontime like [SIM] we would when it is dark. We are like [SIM] dead people who are among healthy people.
Kami'y nagsisikapa sa bakod na parang bulag, oo, kami'y nagsisikapa na gaya nila na walang mga mata: kami'y nangatitisod sa katanghaliang tapat na gaya sa gabi; sa gitna ng mga malakas, kami'y parang mga patay.
11 We growl like [SIM] [hungry] bears; we continually moan like [SIM] doves. We seek [people who do] what is just/fair, but we cannot find any [anywhere]. [We want God] to rescue us, but [it seems that] he is far away.
Kaming lahat ay nagsisiungol na parang mga oso, at lubhang dumadaing na parang mga kalapati: kami'y nagsisihanap ng kahatulan, nguni't wala; ng kaligtasan, nguni't malayo sa amin.
12 [But these things are happening] because [it is as though] our sins are piled high in the presence of God, and that they testify [PRS] against us. We cannot deny it; we know that we have done many wrong things.
Sapagka't ang aming mga pagsalangsang ay dumami sa harap mo, at ang aming mga kasalanan ay nagpapatotoo laban sa amin; sapagka't ang aming mga pagsalangsang ay sumasaamin, at tungkol sa aming mga kasamaan ay nababatid namin.
13 [We know that] we have rebelled against Yahweh; we have turned away from him. We (oppress people/treat people cruelly) by what we testify [against them]; we do not allow them to get what they have a right to get. We [SYN] think about the lies that we can tell, and then we tell them.
Pagsalangsang at pagsisinungaling sa Panginoon at sa pagtigil ng pagsunod sa aming Dios, sa pagsasalita ng pagpighati at panghihimagsik, sa pagaakala at paghango sa puso ng mga salitang kasinungalingan.
14 [In our courts, the judges] do not decide cases/matters fairly; no one is acting righteously. In plazas where people gather together, no one tells the truth [PRS]; [it seems that people] are not allowed to say what is true.
At ang kahatulan ay tumatalikod, at ang katuwiran ay tumatayo sa malayo; sapagka't ang katotohanan ay nahulog sa lansangan, at ang karampatan ay hindi makapasok.
15 No one tells the truth, and people try to ruin [the reputations of] those who quit doing evil. Yahweh looked around, and he saw that no one was doing what is just/fair, and he was [very] displeased.
Oo, ang katotohanan ay nagkukulang, at siyang humihiwalay sa kasamaan ay nagiging sa kaniyang sarili na huli. At nakita ng Panginoon, at isinama ng kaniyang loob na walang kahatulan.
16 He was disgusted when he saw that no one tried to help [those who were being treated cruelly]. So he used his own power [MTY] to rescue them; it is because he is always righteous that he did that [PRS].
At kaniyang nakita na walang tao, at namangha na walang tagapamagitan: kaya't ang kaniyang sariling bisig ay nagdala ng kaligtasan sa kaniya; at ang kaniyang katuwiran ay umalalay sa kaniya.
17 [It is as though he is a soldier who] [MET] puts on his armor and a helmet; his continually doing what is right is like [MET] his armor, and his ability to rescue people is [like] his helmet. His being extremely angry and his being ready to get revenge [on those who do evil] are like [MET] his robes.
At siya'y nagsuot ng katuwiran na wari sapyaw, at ng turbante ng kaligtasan sa kaniyang ulo at siya'y nagsuot ng mga bihisan ng panghihiganti na pinakadamit, at nagbihis ng sikap na wari balabal.
18 He will repay his enemies for the evil things that they have done. He will severely punish [MTY] even those who live far [from Jerusalem].
Ayon sa kanilang mga gawa, ay gayon niya gagantihin, pusok ng loob sa kaniyang mga kaaway, kagantihan sa kaniyang mga kaalit; sa mga pulo ay gaganti siya ng kagantihan.
19 When that happens, people everywhere, from the east to the west, will respect and honor Yahweh [MTY], because he will come like [SIM] a rushing river that is pushed along by the strong wind that Yahweh sent.
Sa gayo'y katatakutan nila ang pangalan ng Panginoon mula sa kalunuran, at ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian ay mula sa sikatan ng araw sapagka't siya'y darating na parang bugso ng tubig na pinayaon ng hinga ng Panginoon.
20 And Yahweh says that he will come to Jerusalem to free [his people]; he will come to rescue those in Judah who have quit (doing sinful things/their sinful behavior).
At isang Manunubos ay paroroon sa Sion, at sa kanila, na nangaghihiwalay sa Jacob ng pagsalangsang, sabi ng Panginoon.
21 This is what Yahweh says to his people: “This is the agreement that I will make with you: My Spirit will not leave you, and you will always have my message. You will [be able to] declare it [MTY], and your children and grandchildren will [be able to] declare it forever.”
At tungkol sa akin, ito ang aking tipan sa kanila, sabi ng Panginoon: ang aking Espiritu na nasa iyo, at ang aking mga salita na inilagay ko sa iyong bibig, hindi hihiwalay sa iyong bibig, o sa bibig man ng iyong lahi, o sa bibig man ng angkan ng iyong lahi, sabi ng Panginoon, mula ngayon at magpakailan pa man.
