Isaya 62
1 Nikech Sayun ok analingʼ, bende nikech Jerusalem ok anasik kalingʼ, nyaka timne makare rieny ka yawruok mar piny, kendo warruokne obed marieny ka mach makakni.
Because I am very concerned about [the people of] Jerusalem [DOU], I will do something to help them. I will not stop praying for them until they are rescued/freed [from their oppressors], until that becomes as apparent to everyone as the dawn [every morning], until people can see it as clearly as [SIM] they see a torch shining brightly [at night].
2 Ogendini none timni makare, kendo ruodhi duto none duongʼ mari; bangʼe noluongi gi nying manyien, ma Jehova Nyasaye biro chaki.
[Some day] the [people of many] nations will know that Yahweh has rescued you, [his people]. Their kings will see that your city is [very] great/glorious. And Yahweh [MTY] will give your [city] a new name.
3 Inibed kondo maber e lwet Jehova Nyasaye bende inibed osimb loch e lwet Nyasachi.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will hold you up in his hands in order that everyone can see you. Under his authority [MTY], you will be [like] a glorious headband/turban worn by a king.
4 Ok ginichak giluongi ni Kama Ojwangʼ kata chako pinyi ni kama Odongʼ Gunda. To noluongi ni Hefziba kendo pinyi noluongi ni Beula; nimar Jehova Nyasaye nobed kodi gi mor kendo pinyi nochal gi dhako mokendi.
Your [city] will never again be called “the deserted/abandoned city” and your country will never again be called “the desolate land”; it will be called “the land that Yahweh delights in”, and [it will also be called] “married to Yahweh”. It will be called that because Yahweh will be delighted with you, [and it will be as though] you are his bride [MET].
5 Kaka wuowi kendo nyako e kaka yawuoti nokendi; to bende kaka ngʼama okendo mor gi chiege, e kaka Nyasachi nobed mamor kodi.
You people will live in all the country of Judah like [SIM] a young man lives with his bride. And our God will be happy that you [belong to] him like [SIM] a bridegroom is happy that his bride [belongs to him].
6 Yaye Jerusalem, aseoro jorit e ohinga mari ok ginilingʼ odiechiengʼ gotieno. Un muluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye kik unyosru,
[You people of] Jerusalem, I have placed watchmen on your walls; they will [LIT] earnestly pray to Yahweh day and night. You watchmen, you must not stop [praying] [and] reminding Yahweh [about what he has promised to do]!
7 kendo kik umiye yweyo nyaka chop olos Jerusalem mi omi obed dala marahuma mipako e piny ngima.
And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
8 Jehova Nyasaye osesingore gi lwete ma korachwich kendo gi bade maratego ni, “Ok nachak ayie wasiku kaw chambu micham, jopinje mamoko bende ok nochak omadh divai manyien, ma usetiyone matek;
Yahweh has raised his right hand to solemnly promise [to the people of Jerusalem], “I will use my power [MTY] and never again allow your enemies to defeat you; [soldiers from other nations will never come again] to take away your grain and the wine that you worked hard [to produce].
9 to jogo mano kagi ema nochamgi, ka gipako Jehova Nyasaye, bende jogo ma choko olemb mzabibu ema nomadhgi e laru mar kara maler mar lemo.”
You yourselves grew the grain, and you will be the ones who will praise [me], Yahweh, while you eat [the bread made from] that grain. Inside the courtyards of my temple you yourselves will drink the wine made from the grapes [that you harvested].”
10 Kaluru, kaluru dhorangach! Losuru yo ne joga. Buguru, buguru yore! Goluru kite. Tingʼuru bandera malo mondo pinje one.
Go out through the [city] gates! Prepare the highway on which people [will return from other countries]! Cause the road to become smooth; clear off [all] the stones; set up signal flags to help the people-groups to see [where the road to Jerusalem is].
11 Jehova Nyasaye oselando wachne e tung pinje duto niya: “Wachne nyar Sayun ni, ‘Ne, Jaresni biro! Ne, michne ni e lwete kendo jogo mosegonyo wuotho kode.’”
This is the message that Yahweh has sent to [the people of] every nation: “Tell the people of Israel, ‘The one who will rescue/save you is coming! Look! He will be bringing to you (your reward/what you deserve [for the good things that you have done]); those whom he is setting free will be going ahead of him.’”
12 Enoluong-gi ni Oganda Maler, ma Jehova Nyasaye Osewalo; kendo noluongi ni Dala Midwaro Gwedho ma en Dala Maduongʼ Ma Ok Nochak Ojwangʼ.
They will be called “Yahweh’s own people, the ones whom he rescued”. And Jerusalem will be known as the city that [Yahweh] loves, the city that is no [longer] abandoned.
