< Isaiah 52 >
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Teta, teta gị Zayọn, yikwasị onwe gị ike dịka uwe! Yikwasị onwe gị uwe mara mma, gị Jerusalem, obodo dị nsọ. Ndị a na-ebighị ugwu na ndị rụrụ arụ agaghị abata nʼime gị ọzọ.
2 Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Kụchapụ aja dị nʼahụ gị, bilie ọtọ, gị Jerusalem, nọdụ ala nʼocheeze gị. Tọpụ onwe gị site nʼagbụ igwe e kere gị nʼolu, gị ada Zayọn, a dọtara nʼagha.
3 For thus says YHWH, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Nʼefu ka erere unu, anaghị ndị zụrụ unu ego ọbụla, ọ bụghịkwa ego ka a ga-eji gbapụta unu.”
4 For thus says YHWH, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Na mbụ, ọ bụ nʼala Ijipt ka ndị m gara biri, ugbu a, ọ bụ ndị Asịrịa na-akpagbu ha.
5 "Now therefore, what do I do here," says YHWH, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says YHWH. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
“Ma ugbu a, gịnị ka m nwere nʼebe a?” bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ebe ọ bụ na e durula ndị m pụọ nʼefu, ndị na-achị ha na-akwakwa ha emo na-achị ha ọchị nlelị,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ha na-ekwulukwa aha m ogologo ụbọchị niile.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
Nʼihi ya, ndị m ga-ama aha m; nʼihi nke a, ha ga-amarakwa nʼụbọchị ahụ na ọ bụ Mụ onwe m kwuru na ọ ga-eme. E, ọ bụ mụ onwe m.”
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
Lee ka ha si maa mma nʼelu ugwu bụ ụkwụ ndị na-eweta oziọma, onye na-ekwusa okwu udo, e, onye na-eweta akụkọ ọma, onye na-agbasa akụkọ banyere nzọpụta, onye na-asị Zayọn, “Lee, Chineke gị bụ eze!”
8 The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when YHWH returns to Zion with compassion.
Geenụ ntị! Nụrụnụ olu ndị nche unu, ndị na-eweli olu ha elu na-eti mkpu ọṅụ. Nʼihi na mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-alọghachi Zayọn, ha ga-ahụ ya anya.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for YHWH has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Tienụ mkpu ọṅụ unu mkpọmkpọ ebe niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ na Jerusalem, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị akasịela ndị ya obi. Ọ gbapụtala Jerusalem.
10 YHWH has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka mba niile hụrụ ike ya dị nsọ; ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ ga-ahụkwa nzọpụta Chineke anyị.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of YHWH.
Wezuganụ onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu, sinụ nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Unu emetụkwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ aka. Sitenụ nʼetiti ya pụta, dịrịnụ ọcha, unu ndị na-ebu ihe dị iche iche nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.
12 For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for YHWH will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Ma unu agaghị eji ọkụ ọkụ pụọ, unu agakwaghị agbapụ ọsọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ebutere unu ụzọ, ọ bụkwa ya, Chineke Izrel, ga-echebe unu nʼazụ.
13 Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Lee, ohu m ga-enwe uche, a ga-ebulikwa ya elu, ọ ga-abụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ.
14 Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Dịka ibubo si nwụọ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼahụ; otu a ka ihu ya bụ ihe e bibiri ebibi nke ukwuu, nke mere na ọ dịkwaghị ka ihu mmadụ ọzọ, anụ ahụ ya ka ebibikwara nʼụzọ ọ na-agaghị eyikwa anụ ahụ mmadụ.
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
Otu a ka ọ ga-esi fesaa ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-emechikwa ọnụ ha nʼihi ya, ọ bụ ihe a na-agwaghị ha ka ha ga-ahụ, ihe ha a ka anụbeghị, ka ha ga-aghọtakwa.
