1Inyong aliwin, inyong aliwin ang aking bayan, sabi ng inyong Dios. 2Mangagsalita kayong may pagaliw sa Jerusalem; at sigawan ninyo siya, na ang kaniyang pakikipagdigma ay naganap, na ang kaniyang kasamaan ay ipinatawad, sapagka't siya'y tumanggap sa kamay ng Panginoon ng ibayong ukol sa kaniyang lahat na kasalanan. 3Ang tinig ng isang sumisigaw, Ihanda ninyo sa ilang ang daan ng Panginoon pantayin ninyo sa ilang ang lansangan para sa ating Dios. 4Bawa't libis ay mataas, at bawa't bundok at burol ay mabababa; at ang mga bakobako ay matutuwid, at ang mga hindi pantay na dako ay mapapatag: 5At ang kaluwalhatian ng Panginoon ay mahahayag, at makikitang magkakasama ng lahat na tao, sapagka't sinalita ng bibig ng Panginoon, 6Ang tinig ng isang nagsasabi, Ikaw ay dumaing. At sinabi ng isa, Ano ang aking idadaing? Lahat ng laman ay damo, at ang buong kagandahan niyaon ay parang bulaklak ng parang. 7Ang damo ay natutuyo, at ang bulaklak ay nalalanta, sapagka't ang hinga ng Panginoon ay humihihip doon; tunay na ang bayan ay damo. 8Ang damo ay natutuyo, ang bulaklak ay nalalanta; nguni't ang salita ng ating Dios ay mamamalagi magpakailan man. 9Oh ikaw na nagsasabi ng mga mabuting balita sa Sion, sumampa ka sa mataas na bundok; Oh ikaw na nagsasabi ng mga mabuting balita sa Jerusalem, ilakas mo ang iyong tinig na may kalakasan; ilakas mo, huwag kang matakot; sabihin mo sa mga bayan ng Juda, Tingnan ang inyong Dios! 10Narito, ang Panginoong Dios ay darating na gaya ng makapangyarihan, at ang kaniyang kamay ay magpupuno sa ganang kaniya: Narito, ang kaniyang ganting pala ay dala niya, at ang kaniyang ganti ay nasa harap niya. 11Kaniyang papastulin ang kaniyang kawan, na gaya ng pastor, kaniyang pipisanin ang mga kordero sa kaniyang kamay, at dadalhin sila sa kaniyang sinapupunan, at papatnubayan na marahan yaong mga nagpapasuso. 12Sino ang tumakal ng tubig sa palad ng kaniyang kamay, at sumukat sa langit ng dangkal, at nagsilid ng alabok ng lupa sa isang takal, at tumimbang ng mga bundok sa mga panimbang, at ng mga burol sa timbangan? 13Sinong pumatnubay ng Espiritu ng Panginoon, o parang kaniyang kasangguni ay nagturo sa kaniya? 14Kanino siya kumuhang payo, at sinong nagsaysay sa kaniya, at nagturo sa kaniya sa landas ng kahatulan, at nagturo sa kaniya ng kaalaman, at nagpakilala sa kaniya ng daan ng unawa? 15Narito, ang mga bansa ay parang isang patak ng tubig sa timba, inaari na parang munting alabok sa timbangan: narito, kaniyang itinataas ang mga pulo na parang napakaliit na bagay. 16At ang Libano ay hindi sukat upang sunugin, ni ang mga hayop niyaon ay sukat na pinakahandog na susunugin. 17Lahat ng mga bansa ay parang walang anoman sa harap niya; nangabilang sa kaniya na kulang kay sa wala, at walang kabuluhan. 18Kanino nga ninyo itutulad ang Dios? o anong wangis ang iwawangis ninyo sa kaniya? 19Ang larawang inanyuan na binubo ng mangbububo, at binabalot ng ginto ng platero, at binubuan ng mga pilak na kuwintas. 20Siyang napakadukha sa gayong alay ay pumipili ng isang punong kahoy na hindi malalapok; siya'y humahanap sa ganang kaniya ng isang bihasang manggagawa upang ihandang larawang inanyuan, na hindi makikilos. 21Hindi ba ninyo naalaman? hindi ba ninyo narinig? hindi ba nasaysay sa inyo mula ng una? hindi ba nasaysay sa inyo bago nalagay ang mga patibayan ng lupa? 22Siya ang nakaupo sa balantok ng lupa, at ang mga nananahan doon ay parang mga balang; siyang naglaladlad ng langit na parang tabing, at inilaladlad na parang tolda upang tahanan; 23Na iniuuwi sa wala ang mga pangulo; siyang umaaring tila walang kabuluhan sa mga hukom sa lupa. 24Oo, sila'y hindi nangatanim; oo, sila'y hindi nangahasik; oo, ang kanilang puno ay hindi nagugat sa lupa: bukod dito'y humihihip siya sa kanila, at sila'y nangatutuyo, at tinatangay sila ng ipoipo na gaya ng dayami. 25Kanino nga ninyo itutulad ako, upang makaparis ako niya? sabi ng Banal. 26Itingin ninyo ang inyong mga mata sa itaas, at tingnan ninyo kung sinong lumikha ng mga ito, na tinutuos ang kanilang hukbo ayon sa bilang; tinatawag niya sila sa pangalan; sa pamamagitan ng kadakilaan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan, at dahil sa siya'y malakas sa kapangyarihan ay walang nagkukulang. 27Bakit sinasabi mo, Oh Jacob, at sinasalita mo, Oh Israel, Ang daan ko ay lingid sa Panginoon, at nilalagpasan ng aking Dios ang kahatulan ko? 28Hindi mo baga naalaman? hindi mo baga narinig? ang walang hanggang Dios, ang Panginoon, ang Maylalang ng mga wakas ng lupa, hindi nanlalata, o napapagod man; walang makatarok ng kaniyang unawa. 29Siya'y nagbibigay ng lakas sa mahina; at ang walang kapangyarihan ay pinananagana niya sa kalakasan. 30Pati ng mga kabinataan ay manlalata at mapapagod, at ang mga binata ay lubos na mangabubuwal: 31Nguni't silang nangaghihintay sa Panginoon ay mangagbabagong lakas; sila'y paiilanglang na may mga pakpak na parang mga aguila; sila'y magsisitakbo, at hindi mangapapagod; sila'y magsisilakad, at hindi manganghihina.
1“Comfort, comfort my people,” says your God. 2“Speak comfortably to Jerusalem; and call out to her that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received of Yahweh’s hand double for all her sins.” 3The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God. 4Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low. The uneven shall be made level, and the rough places a plain. 5Yahweh’s glory shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.” 6The voice of one saying, “Cry!” One said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory is like the flower of the field. 7The grass withers, the flower fades, because Yahweh’s breath blows on it. Surely the people are like grass. 8The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God stands forever.” 9You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up. Don’t be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold, your God!” 10Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 11He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young. 12Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor? 14Who did he take counsel with, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of justice, and taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? 15Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on a balance. Behold, he lifts up the islands like a very little thing. 16Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor its animals sufficient for a burnt offering. 17All the nations are like nothing before him. They are regarded by him as less than nothing, and vanity. 18To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to him? 19A workman has cast an image, and the goldsmith overlays it with gold, and casts silver chains for it. 20He who is too impoverished for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeks a skillful workman to set up an engraved image for him that will not be moved. 21Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard, yet? Haven’t you been told from the beginning? Haven’t you understood from the foundations of the earth? 22It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in; 23who brings princes to nothing; who makes the judges of the earth like meaningless. 24They are planted scarcely. They are sown scarcely. Their stock has scarcely taken root in the ground. He merely blows on them, and they wither, and the whirlwind takes them away as stubble. 25“To whom then will you liken me? Who is my equal?” says the Holy One. 26Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these, who brings out their army by number. He calls them all by name. by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power, Not one is lacking. 27Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel, “My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?” 28Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, The Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might. 30Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; 31But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
1Troost, troost Mijn volk, zal ulieder God zeggen. 2Spreekt naar het hart van Jeruzalem, en roept haar toe, dat haar strijd vervuld is, dat haar ongerechtigheid verzoend is, dat zij van de hand des HEEREN dubbel ontvangen heeft voor al haar zonden. 3Een stem des roependen in de woestijn: Bereidt den weg des HEEREN, maakt recht in de wildernis een baan voor onzen God! 4Alle dalen zullen verhoogd worden, en alle bergen en heuvelen zullen vernederd worden; en wat krom is, dat zal recht, en wat hobbelachtig is, dat zal tot een vallei gemaakt worden. 5En de heerlijkheid des HEEREN zal geopenbaard worden; en alle vlees te gelijk zal zien, dat het de mond des HEEREN gesproken heeft. 6Een stem zegt: Roept! En hij zegt: Wat zal ik roepen? Alle vlees is gras, en al zijn goedertierenheid als een bloem des velds. 7Het gras verdort, de bloem valt af, als de Geest des HEEREN daarin blaast; voorwaar, het volk is gras. 8Het gras verdort, de bloem valt af; maar het Woord onzes Gods bestaat in der eeuwigheid. 9O Sion, gij verkondigster van goede boodschap, klim op een hogen berg; o Jeruzalem, gij verkondigster van goede boodschap, hef uw stem op met macht, hef ze op, vrees niet, zeg den steden van Juda: Zie hier is uw God! 10Ziet, de Heere HEERE zal komen tegen den sterke, en Zijn arm zal heersen; ziet, Zijn loon is bij Hem, en Zijn arbeidsloon is voor Zijn aangezicht. 11Hij zal Zijn kudde weiden gelijk een herder; Hij zal de lammeren in Zijn armen vergaderen, en in Zijn schoot dragen; de zogenden zal Hij zachtjes leiden. 12Wie heeft de wateren met Zijn vuist gemeten, en van de hemelen met de span de maat genomen, en heeft met een drieling het stof der aarde begrepen, en de bergen gewogen in een waag, en de heuvelen in een weegschaal? 13Wie heeft den Geest des HEEREN bestierd, en wie heeft Hem als Zijn raadsman onderwezen? 14Met wien heeft Hij raad gehouden, die Hem verstand zou geven, en Hem zou leren van het pad des rechts, en Hem wetenschap zou leren, en Hem zou bekend maken den weg des veelvoudigen verstands? 15Ziet, de volken zijn geacht als een druppel van een emmer, en als een stofje van de weegschaal; ziet, Hij werpt de eilanden henen als dun stof! 16En de Libanon is niet genoegzaam om te branden, en zijn gedierte is niet genoegzaam ten brandoffer. 17Alle volken zijn als niets voor Hem; en zij worden bij Hem geacht minder dan niet, en ijdelheid. 18Bij wien dan zult gij God vergelijken, of wat gelijkenis zult gij op Hem toepassen? 19De werkmeester giet een beeld, en de goudsmid overtrekt het met goud, en giet er zilveren ketenen toe. 20Die verarmd is, dat hij niet te offeren heeft, die kiest een hout uit, dat niet verrotte; hij zoekt zich een wijzen werkmeester, om een beeld te bereiden, dat niet wankele. 21Weet gijlieden niet? Hoort gij niet? Is het u van den beginne aan niet bekend gemaakt! Hebt gij op de grondvesten der aarde niet gelet? 22Hij is het, Die daar zit boven den kloot der aarde, en derzelver inwoners zijn als sprinkhanen; Hij is het, Die de hemelen uitspant als een dunnen doek, en breidt ze uit als een tent, om te bewonen; 23Die de vorsten te niet maakt; de richters der aarde maakt Hij tot ijdelheid. 24Ja, zij worden niet geplant, ja, zij worden niet gezaaid, ja, hun afgehouwen stam wortelt niet in de aarde; ook als Hij op hen blazen zal, zo zullen zij verdorren, en een stormwind zal hen als een stoppel wegnemen. 25Bij wien dan zult gijlieden Mij vergelijken, dien Ik gelijk zij? zegt de Heilige. 26Heft uw ogen op omhoog, en ziet, Wie deze dingen geschapen heeft; Die in getal hun heir voortbrengt; Die ze alle bij name roept, vanwege de grootheid Zijner krachten, en omdat Hij sterk van vermogen is; er wordt er niet een gemist. 27Waarom zegt gij dan, o Jakob! en spreekt, o Israel! mijn weg is voor den HEERE verborgen, en mijn recht gaat van mijn God voorbij? 28Weet gij het niet? Hebt gij niet gehoord, dat de eeuwige God, de HEERE, de Schepper van de einden der aarde, noch moede noch mat wordt? Er is geen doorgronding van Zijn verstand. 29Hij geeft den moeden kracht, en Hij vermenigvuldigt de sterkte dien, die geen krachten heeft. 30De jongen zullen moede en mat worden, en de jongelingen zullen gewisselijk vallen; 31Maar dien den HEERE verwachten, zullen de kracht vernieuwen; zij zullen opvaren met vleugelen, gelijk de arenden; zij zullen lopen, en niet moede worden; zij zullen wandelen, en niet mat worden.
