Isaias 66
Ang Biblia (1978)
Ang hindi tapat na pagsamba ay sinumpa.
66 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, (A)Ang langit ay aking luklukan, at ang lupa ay aking tungtungan: anong anyong bahay ang inyong itatayo sa akin? at anong dako ang magiging aking pahingahan?
2 Sapagka't lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay nilikha ng aking kamay, at sa gayo'y nangyari ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito, sabi ng Panginoon: nguni't (B)ang taong ito ay titingnan ko, sa makatuwid baga'y (C)siyang dukha at may pagsisising loob, at nanginginig sa aking salita.
3 Siyang pumapatay ng baka ay (D)gaya ng pumapatay ng tao; siyang naghahain ng kordero ay gaya ng bumabali ng leeg ng aso; siyang naghahandog ng alay ay gaya ng naghahandog ng dugo ng baboy; siyang (E)nagsusunog ng kamangyan ay gaya ng pumupuri sa isang diosdiosan. Oo, sila'y nagsipili ng kanilang sariling mga lakad, at ang kanilang kaluluwa ay nalulugod sa kanilang mga kasuklamsuklam na bagay;
4 Akin namang pipiliin ang kanilang mga kakutyaan, at dadalhan ko sila ng kanilang takot, (F)sapagka't nang ako'y tumawag, walang sumagot; nang ako'y magsalita ay walang nakinig; kundi sila'y nagsigawa ng masama sa harap ng aking mga mata, at pinili ang hindi ko kinaluluguran.
Ang hatol ng Panginoon.
5 Inyong pakinggan ang salita ng Panginoon, ninyong nanginginig sa kaniyang salita, Ang inyong mga kapatid na nangagtatanim sa inyo na nangagtatakuwil (G)sa inyo dahil sa akin, nangagsabi, (H)Luwalhatiin ang Panginoon, upang makita namin (I)ang inyong kagalakan; nguni't sila'y mangapapahiya.
6 Ang ingay ng kagulo na mula sa bayan, ang tinig na mula sa templo, ang tinig ng Panginoon na naggagawad ng kagantihan sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
7 Bago siya nagdamdam, siya'y nanganak; bago dumating ang kaniyang paghihirap, siya'y nanganak ng isang lalake.
8 Sinong nakarinig ng ganyang bagay? sinong nakakita ng ganyang mga bagay? ipanganganak baga ang lupain sa isang araw? ilalabas bagang paminsan ang isang bansa? sapagka't pagdaramdam ng Sion, ay nanganak ng kaniyang mga anak.
9 Dadalhin ko baga sa kapanganakan, at hindi ko ilalabas? sabi ng Panginoon; magsasara baga ako ng bahay bata, akong nagpapanganak? sabi ng iyong Dios.
10 (J)Kayo'y mangagalak na kasama ng Jerusalem, at mangatuwa dahil sa kaniya, kayong lahat na nagsisiibig sa kaniya: kayo'y mangagalak ng kagalakan na kasama niya, kayong lahat na nagsisitangis dahil sa kaniya:
11 (K)Upang kayo'y makasuso at mabusog sa pamamagitan ng mga suso ng kaniyang mga kaaliwan; upang kayo'y makagatas, at malugod sa kasaganaan ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian.
12 Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, ako'y maggagawad ng kapayapaan sa kaniya na (L)parang isang ilog, at (M)ang kaluwalhatian ng mga bansa ay parang malaking baha, at inyong sususuhin yaon; kayo'y (N)kikilikin, at lilibangin sa mga tuhod.
13 Kung paanong ang sinoma'y inaaliw ng ina gayon ko aaliwin kayo; at kayo'y mangaaliw sa Jerusalem.
14 At inyong makikita, at magagalak ang inyong puso, at ang (O)inyong mga buto ay giginhawang parang sariwang damo: at ang kamay ng Panginoon ay makikilala sa kaniyang mga lingkod, at siya'y magagalit laban sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
15 Sapagka't, narito, (P)ang Panginoon ay darating na may apoy, at ang (Q)kaniyang mga karo ay magiging parang ipoipo; upang igawad ang kaniyang galit na may kapusukan, at ang kaniyang saway na may ningas ng apoy.
16 Sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng apoy makikipagpunyagi ang Panginoon, at (R)sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang tabak, sa lahat ng mga tao: at (S)ang mapapatay ng Panginoon ay magiging marami.
17 Silang nangagpapakabanal, at nangagpapakalinis na nagsisiparoon (T)sa mga halamanan, sa likuran ng isa sa gitna, na nagsisikain ng laman ng baboy, at ng kasuklamsuklam, at ng (U)daga; sila'y darating sa isang wakas na magkakasama, sabi ng Panginoon.
18 Sapagka't kilala ko ang kanilang mga gawa at ang kanilang mga pagiisip: ang panahon ay dumarating na aking pipisanin ang lahat na bansa at ang mga may iba't ibang wika; at sila'y (V)magsisiparoon, at mangakikita ang aking kaluwalhatian.
19 (W)At ako'y maglalagay ng tanda sa gitna nila, at aking susuguin ang mga nakatanan sa kanila sa mga bansa, sa Tarsia, Pul, at Lud, na nagsisihawak ng busog, sa Tubal at Javan, sa mga pulong malayo na hindi nangakarinig ng aking kabantugan, o nakakita man ng aking kaluwalhatian; (X)at sila'y mangagpapahayag ng aking kaluwalhatian sa gitna ng mga bansa.
20 At kanilang dadalhin ang lahat ninyong mga kapatid mula sa lahat na bansa na (Y)pinakahandog sa Panginoon, na nasasakay sa mga kabayo, at sa mga karo, at sa mga duyan, at sa mga mula, at sa mga maliksing hayop, sa aking banal na bundok na Jerusalem, sabi ng Panginoon, gaya ng pagdadala ng mga anak ni Israel ng kanilang handog sa malinis na sisidlan sa bahay ng Panginoon.
21 At sa kanila rin naman ako kukuha (Z)ng mga pinaka saserdote at mga pinaka Levita, sabi ng Panginoon.
22 Sapagka't kung paanong (AA)ang mga bagong langit at ang bagong lupa, na aking lilikhain ay mananatili sa harap ko, sabi ng Panginoon, (AB)gayon mananatili ang inyong lahi, at ang inyong pangalan.
23 At mangyayari, na mula sa bagong buwan hanggang sa panibago, at mula sa isang sabbath hanggang sa panibago, (AC)paroroon ang lahat na tao upang sumamba sa harap ko, sabi ng Panginoon.
24 At sila'y magsisilabas, at magsisitingin sa mga bangkay ng mga taong nagsisalangsang laban sa akin: sapagka't ang (AD)kanilang uod ay hindi mamamatay, o mamamatay man ang kanilang apoy; at sila'y magiging kayamutan sa lahat ng mga tao.
Isaiah 66
New International Version
Judgment and Hope
66 This is what the Lord says:
“Heaven is my throne,(A)
and the earth is my footstool.(B)
Where is the house(C) you will build for me?
Where will my resting place be?
2 Has not my hand made all these things,(D)
and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
those who are humble and contrite in spirit,(E)
and who tremble at my word.(F)
3 But whoever sacrifices a bull(G)
is like one who kills a person,
and whoever offers a lamb
is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever makes a grain offering
is like one who presents pig’s(H) blood,
and whoever burns memorial incense(I)
is like one who worships an idol.
They have chosen their own ways,(J)
and they delight in their abominations;(K)
4 so I also will choose harsh treatment for them
and will bring on them what they dread.(L)
For when I called, no one answered,(M)
when I spoke, no one listened.
They did evil(N) in my sight
and chose what displeases me.”(O)
5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who tremble at his word:(P)
“Your own people who hate(Q) you,
and exclude you because of my name, have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
that we may see your joy!’
Yet they will be put to shame.(R)
6 Hear that uproar from the city,
hear that noise from the temple!
It is the sound(S) of the Lord
repaying(T) his enemies all they deserve.
7 “Before she goes into labor,(U)
she gives birth;
before the pains come upon her,
she delivers a son.(V)
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(W) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(X)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(Y)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(Z)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(AA) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(AB) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(AC) over her.
11 For you will nurse(AD) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(AE)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(AF)
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace(AG) to her like a river,(AH)
and the wealth(AI) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(AJ) on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(AK)
so will I comfort(AL) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(AM)
and you will flourish(AN) like grass;
the hand(AO) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(AP)
but his fury(AQ) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(AR)
and his chariots(AS) are like a whirlwind;(AT)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(AU) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(AV) and with his sword(AW)
the Lord will execute judgment(AX) on all people,
and many will be those slain(AY) by the Lord.
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(AZ) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(BA) rats(BB) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(BC) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.
18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(BD) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(BE) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(BF)
19 “I will set a sign(BG) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(BH) to the nations—to Tarshish,(BI) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(BJ) (famous as archers), to Tubal(BK) and Greece,(BL) and to the distant islands(BM) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(BN) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(BO) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(BP) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(BQ) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(BR) 21 And I will select some of them also to be priests(BS) and Levites,” says the Lord.
22 “As the new heavens and the new earth(BT) that I make will endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure.(BU) 23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath(BV) to another, all mankind will come and bow down(BW) before me,” says the Lord. 24 “And they will go out and look on the dead bodies(BX) of those who rebelled(BY) against me; the worms(BZ) that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched,(CA) and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

Where God may be found
66 The Lord says:
Heaven is my throne,
and earth is my footstool.
So where could you build a house for me,
and where could my resting place be?
2 My hand made all these things
and brought them into being, says the Lord.
But here is where I will look:
to the humble and contrite in spirit,
who tremble at my word.
3 The one who slaughters an ox kills a person;
the one who sacrifices a sheep breaks a dog’s neck;
the one who makes a grain offering offers swine’s blood;
the one who burns incense blesses an idol.
All these have chosen their own ways,
and prefer their detestable things.
4 So I too will choose to punish them,
to bring horrors upon them,
since I called and no one answered.
I spoke and no one heard,
but they did evil in my eyes.
What I didn’t want, they chose.
5 Listen to the Lord’s word,
you who tremble at his word:
Your family members, those who hate and exclude you because of my name,
have said, “Let the Lord be glorified;
let’s see your joy.”
But they will be ashamed.
6 The sound of an uproar from the city! A sound from the temple!
The sound of the Lord repaying his enemies what they have earned.
Mother Zion
7 Before she was in labor, she gave birth.
Before her pangs came upon her, she delivered a boy.
8 Whoever heard of such a thing?
Whoever saw such things as these?
Can a land come to birth in one day?
Can a nation be born all at once?
Yet as soon as birth pangs came,
Zion bore her children.
9 Will I open the womb and not bring to birth? says the Lord.
Will I, who create life, close the womb? says your God.
10 Celebrate with Jerusalem; be happy with her,
all you who love her!
Rejoice with her in joy,
all you who mourn over her,
11 so that you may nurse and be satisfied
from her comforting breasts,
that you may drink and be refreshed
from her full breasts.
12 The Lord says:
Look, I’m extending prosperity to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like an overflowing stream.
You will nurse and be carried on the hip
and bounced upon the knee.
13 As a mother comforts her child,
so I will comfort you;
in Jerusalem you will be comforted.
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice;
your entire being will flourish like grass.
The Lord’s power will be known among his servants,
but his fury among his enemies.
15 The Lord will come with fire,
God’s chariots like a windstorm,
to repay in hot anger,
to rebuke with fiery flames.
16 With fire and with sword the Lord will judge all humanity;
many will be slain by the Lord.
17 Those who became holy and purify themselves, following their leader into the gardens,[a] who eat pork, detestable animals, and mice, will meet their end together, says the Lord.
Worshippers gathered from the nations
18 Because of their actions and thoughts, I’m coming to gather all nations and cultures. They will come to see my glory. 19 I will put a sign on them, by sending out some of the survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Libya, and Lydia, and to the archers of Cilicia and Greece—distant coastlands that haven’t heard of my fame or seen my glory. They will declare my glory among the nations. 20 They will bring your family members from all nations as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels—to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, like Israelites bringing an offering in purified containers to the Lord’s house. 21 I will select some of them as priests and Levites, says the Lord.
22 As the new heavens and the new earth that I’m making will endure before me, says the Lord,
so your descendants and your name will endure.
23 From month to month and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
all humanity will come to worship me, says the Lord.
24 They will go out and see the corpses
of the people who rebelled against me,
where their worm never dies, where their fire is never extinguished.
They will be a horror to everyone.
