Isaias 63

1 Sino ito na nanggagaling sa Edom, na may mga kasuutang tinina mula sa Bosra? itong maluwalhati sa kaniyang suot, na lumalakad sa di kawasang lakas? Ako na nagsasalita ng katuwiran, makapangyarihang magligtas.

[I ask], “Who is this who is coming from Bozrah [city] in Edom, whose clothes are stained red [from blood]? Who is this who is wearing beautiful robes?” [He replies], “It is I, [Yahweh], declaring that I have defeated [your enemies], and I am able to rescue you!”

2 Bakit ka mapula sa iyong kasuutan, at ang iyong damit ay gaya niyaong yumayapak sa alilisan ng alak?

[I ask him], “What are those red spots on your clothes? It appears that [SIM] you have been treading/tramping on grapes [to make wine].”

3 Aking niyapakang magisa ang alilisan ng alak; at sa mga bayan ay walang isang sumasa akin: oo, aking niyapakan siya sa aking galit, at aking niyurakan sila sa aking kapusukan; at ang kanilang dugong buhay ay pumilansik sa aking mga suot, at natigmak ang buong suot ko.

[He replies], “I have been treading on [my enemies, not] on grapes. I did it myself; no one helped me. I punished them because I was very angry with them, and my clothes became stained with their blood.

4 Sapagka't ang kaarawan ng panghihiganti ay nasa aking puso, at ang taon ng aking mga tinubos ay dumating.

I did that because it was time for me [SYN] to get revenge; it was time to rescue [my people from those who had oppressed them].

5 At ako'y lumingap, at walang tumulong; at ako'y namangha na walang umalalay: kaya't iniligtas ako ng aking sariling kamay; at ang aking kapusukan, ay umalalay sa akin.

I searched for someone who would enable me to help [my people], but I was amazed/shocked that there was no one to help me. So I defeated [their enemies] with my own power/strength [MTY]; I was able [PRS] to do that because of my being very angry.

6 At aking niyapakan ang mga bayan sa aking galit, at nilango ko sila sa aking kapusukan, at ibinubo sa lupa ang kanilang dugong buhay.

Because I was extremely angry, I punished the nations; I caused them [to stagger like] [MET] drunk men, and I caused their blood to pour out on the ground.”

7 Aking babanggitin ang mga kagandahang-loob ng Panginoon, at ang mga kapurihan ng Panginoon, ayon sa lahat na ipinagkaloob ng Panginoon sa amin, at ang malaking kabutihan na kaniyang ginawa sa sangbahayan ni Israel na kaniyang ginawa sa kanila ayon sa kaniyang mga kaawaan, at ayon sa karamihan ng kaniyang mga kagandahang-loob.

I will tell about Yahweh faithfully loving his people, and I will praise him for all that he has done. Yahweh has done good things for [us] people [MTY] of Israel; he has acted mercifully toward us, and he has steadfastly and faithfully loved us.

8 Sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Tunay, sila'y aking bayan, mga anak na hindi magsisigawang may kasinungalingan: sa gayo'y siya'y naging Tagapagligtas sa kanila.

Yahweh said, “These are my people; they will not deceive me;” so he rescued us.

9 Sa lahat nilang kadalamhatian ay nagdadalamhati siya, at iniligtas sila ng anghel na nasa kaniyang harapan: sa kaniyang pagibig at sa kaniyang pagkaawa ay tinubos niya sila; at kaniyang kinilik sila at kinalong silang lahat noong araw.

When we had many troubles, he was sad [also]. He sent his angel to rescue us. Because he loved us and was merciful to us, he saved us; [it was as though] he picked our ancestors up and carried them all those years [during which they were oppressed in Egypt].

10 Nguni't sila'y nanganghimagsik, at namanglaw ang kaniyang banal na Espiritu: kaya't siya'y naging kaaway nila, at siya rin ang nakipaglaban sa kanila.

But we rebelled against him, and we caused his Holy Spirit to be sad. So he became [like] [MET] an enemy who fought against us.

11 Nang magkagayo'y inalaala niya ang mga araw nang una, si Moises at ang kaniyang bayan, na sinasabi, Saan nandoon siya na nagahon sa kanila mula sa dagat, na kasama ng mga pastor ng kaniyang kawan? saan nandoon siya na kumakasi ng kaniyang banal na Espiritu sa kanila?

Then we thought about [what happened] long ago, during the time when Moses led [our ancestors out of Egypt]. We cried out, “Where is the one who brought our ancestors through the [Red] Sea while Moses led them? Where is the one who sent his Holy Spirit to be among our ancestors?

12 Na inaakbayan ng kaniyang maluwalhating bisig ang kanang kamay ni Moises? na humawi ng tubig sa harap nila, upang gawan ang kaniyang sarili ng walang hanggang pangalan?

Where is the one who showed his glorious power [MTY], and caused the water to separate when Moses lifted his arm above it, with the result that he will be honored/praised forever?

13 Na pumatnubay sa kanila sa mga kalaliman, na parang isang kabayo sa ilang, upang sila'y huwag mangatisod?

Where is the one who led our ancestors while they walked through the sea bed? They were like [SIM] horses that were racing along and never stumbled.

14 Kung paanong ang kawan na bumababa sa libis, ay pinapagpapahinga ng Espiritu ng Panginoon: gayon mo pinatnubayan ang iyong bayan, upang gawan mo ang iyong sarili ng maluwalhating pangalan.

They were like [SIM] cattle that walk down into a valley [to rest], and the Spirit of Yahweh enabled them to go to a place where they could rest. Yahweh, you led your people, and you caused yourself [MTY] to (get a wonderful reputation/be greatly honored).”

15 Tumungo ka mula sa langit, at tumingin ka, mula sa tahanan ng iyong kabanalan at ng iyong kaluwalhatian: saan nandoon ang iyong sikap at ang iyong mga makapangyarihang gawa? ang iyong pagmamagandang-loob at ang iyong mga habag ay iniurong mo sa akin.

[Yahweh], look down from heaven; look down on us from your holy and glorious home. You were [RHQ] previously very concerned [about us], and you acted powerfully [to help us]. But it seems that you do not act mercifully and zealously for us any more.

16 Sapagka't ikaw ay aming Ama, bagaman hindi kami kinilala ni Abraham, at hindi kami kilala ng Israel: ikaw, Oh Panginoon, ay aming Ama, aming Manunubos na mula sa walang pasimula ay siya mong pangalan.

You are our father. Abraham does not know [what is happening to] us, and Jacob is not concerned about us, [either], but Yahweh, you are our father; you rescued us long ago.

17 Oh Panginoon; bakit mo kami iniligaw na inihiwalay sa iyong mga daan, at pinapagmatigas mo ang aming puso na inihiwalay sa takot sa iyo? Ikaw ay magbalik dahil sa iyong mga lingkod, na mga lipi ng iyong mana.

Yahweh, why did you cause us to wander away from your road [RHQ]? Why did you cause us to be stubborn, with the result that we no [longer] revere you [RHQ]? Help us like you did previously, because we are the people who serve you and belong to you.

18 Inaring sangdali lamang ng iyong banal na bayan: niyapakan ng aming mga kaaway ang iyong santuario.

We, your holy people, possessed your sacred temple for only a short time, [and now] our enemies have destroyed it.

19 Kami ay naging gaya ng hindi mga pinagpunuan kailan man, gaya ng hindi nangatawag sa iyong pangalan.

Now it seems as though we never were ruled by you, as though we were never part of your family [MTY].
