< 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.
For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning lamp.
2 Ogendini none timni makare, kendo ruodhi duto none duongʼ mari; bangʼe noluongi gi nying manyien, ma Jehova Nyasaye biro chaki.
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You will be called by a new name, which the LORD’s mouth will name.
3 Inibed kondo maber e lwet Jehova Nyasaye bende inibed osimb loch e lwet Nyasachi.
You will also be a crown of beauty in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.
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.
You will not be called Forsaken any more, nor will your land be called Desolate any more; but you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD delights in you, and your land will be married.
5 Kaka wuowi kendo nyako e kaka yawuoti nokendi; to bende kaka ngʼama okendo mor gi chiege, e kaka Nyasachi nobed mamor kodi.
For as a young man marries a virgin, so your sons will marry you. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so your God will rejoice over you.
6 Yaye Jerusalem, aseoro jorit e ohinga mari ok ginilingʼ odiechiengʼ gotieno. Un muluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye kik unyosru,
I have set watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem. They will never be silent day nor night. You who call on the LORD, take no rest,
7 kendo kik umiye yweyo nyaka chop olos Jerusalem mi omi obed dala marahuma mipako e piny ngima.
and give him no rest until he establishes, and until he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
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;
The LORD has sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, “Surely I will no more give your grain to be food for your enemies, and foreigners will not drink your new wine, for which you have laboured,
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.”
but those who have harvested it will eat it, and praise the LORD. Those who have gathered it will drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.”
10 Kaluru, kaluru dhorangach! Losuru yo ne joga. Buguru, buguru yore! Goluru kite. Tingʼuru bandera malo mondo pinje one.
Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way of the people! Build up, build up the highway! Gather out the stones! Lift up a banner for the peoples.
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.’”
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth: “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your salvation comes! Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before 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 call them “The Holy People, The LORD’s Redeemed”. You will be called “Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken”.
