Isaias 8

1 At sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Kumuha ka ng malapad na tabla, at sulatan mo ng panulat ng tao, Kay Maher-salalhash-baz;

And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

2 At magdadala ako ng mga tapat na saksi upang mangagpaalaala, si Urias na saserdote, at si Zacarias na anak ni Jeberechias.

And take true witnesses to the writing, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah, the son of Jeberechiah.

3 At ako'y naparoon sa propetisa; at siya'y naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake. Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Tawagin mo ang kaniyang pangalan na Maher-salalhash-baz.

And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

4 Sapagka't bago ang anak ay matutong dumaing ng, Ama ko, at: Ina ko, ang mga kayamanan ng Damasco at ang samsam sa Samaria ay dadalahin sa harap ng hari ng Asiria.

For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.

5 At nagsalita pa ang Panginoon uli sa akin, na nagsasabi,

And the Lord said again to me,

6 Yamang tinanggihan ng bayang ito ang tubig ng Siloe na nagsisiagos na marahan, at siya'y nagagalak kay Rezin at sa anak ni Remalias;

Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;

7 Ngayon nga, narito, iniaahon ng Panginoon sa kanila ang tubig ng Ilog, malakas at marami, sa makatuwid baga'y ang hari sa Asiria at ang buo niyang kaluwalhatian: at siya'y aahon sa lahat niyang bangbang, at aapaw sa buo niyang baybayin:

For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:

8 At magpapatuloy sa dako ng loob ng Juda; aapaw at lalampas; aabot hanggang sa leeg; at ang laganap ng kaniyang mga pakpak ay siyang magpupuno ng kaluwangan ng iyong lupain, Oh Emmanuel.

And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.

9 Kayo'y magsamasama, Oh mga bayan, at kayo'y mangagkakawatakwatak; at kayo'y mangakinig, kayong lahat na taga malayong lupain: mangagbigkis kayo, at kayo'y mangagkakawatakwatak; kayo'y mangagbigkis, at kayo'y mangagkakawatakwatak.

Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:

10 Mangagsanggunian kayo, at yao'y mauuwi sa wala; mangagsalita kayo ng salita at hindi matatayo: sapagka't ang Dios ay sumasaamin.

Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

11 Sapagka't ang Panginoon ay nagsalitang ganito sa akin na may malakas na kamay, at tinuruan ako na huwag lumakad ng lakad ng bayang ito, na sinasabi,

For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,

12 Huwag ninyong sabihin, Pagbabanta; tungkol sa lahat na sasabihin ng bayang ito, Pagbabanta, o huwag mang mangatakot kayo ng kanilang takot, o mangilabot man doon.

Do not say, It is holy, about everything of which this people says, It is holy; and do not be in fear of what they go in fear of.

13 Ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo, siya ang inyong aariing banal; at sumakaniya ang inyong takot, at sumakaniya ang inyong pangingilabot.

But let the Lord of armies be holy to you, and go in fear of him, giving honour to him.

14 At siya'y magiging pinakasantuario; nguni't pinakabatong katitisuran at pinaka malaking batong pangbuwal sa dalawang sangbahayan ng Israel, na pinakabitag at pinakasilo sa mga nananahan sa Jerusalem.

And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.

15 At marami ang mangatitisod doon, at mangabubuwal, at mangababalian, at mangasisilo, at mangahuhuli.

And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.

16 Talian mo ang patotoo, tatakan mo ang kautusan sa gitna ng aking mga alagad.

Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.

17 At aking hihintayin ang Panginoon na nagkukubli ng kaniyang mukha sa sangbahayan ni Jacob, at aking hahanapin siya.

And I will be waiting for the Lord, whose face is veiled from the house of Jacob, and I will be looking for him.

18 Narito, ako at ang mga anak na ibinigay ng Panginoon sa akin ay mga pinakatanda at pinaka kababalaghan sa Israel na mula sa Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na tumatahan sa bundok ng Sion.

See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion.

19 At pagka kanilang sasabihin sa inyo, Hanapin ninyo silang nakikipagsanggunian sa masamang espiritu at mga manghuhula, na nagsisihuni at nagsisibulong; hindi ba marapat na sanggunian ng bayan ang kanilang Dios? dahil baga sa mga buhay ay sasangguni sila sa mga patay?

And when they say to you, Make request for us to those who have control of spirits, and to those wise in secret arts, who make hollow bird-like sounds; is it not right for a people to make request to their gods, to make request for the living to the dead?

20 Sa kautusan at sa patotoo! kung hindi sila magsalita ng ayon sa salitang ito, tunay na walang umaga sa kanila.

Then say to them, Put your faith in the teaching and the witness. ... If they do not say such things. ... For him there is no dawn. ...

21 At sila'y magsisidaan doon, na nahihirapan at gutom: at mangyayari, na pagka sila'y mangagugutom, sila'y mangagagalit, at magsisisumpa alangalang sa kanilang hari at sa kanilang Dios, at ititingala nila ang kanilang mga mukha:

And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;

22 At sila'y titingin sa lupa, at, narito, kahirapan at kadiliman, ulap ng kahapisan, at sa salimuot na kadiliman ay itataboy sila.

And he will be looking down on the earth, and there will be trouble and dark clouds, black night where there is no seeing.
