Isaiah 62
1 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].
Dili gayod ako magpakahilom alang sa kaayohan sa Zion ug sa Jerusalem, hangtod nga ang iyang pagkamatarong modan-ag, ug ang iyang kaluwasan nga daw sulo nga nagsiga.
2 [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.
Makita sa kanasoran ang imong pagkamatarong, ug makita sa mga hari ang imong himaya. Pagatawagon ka sa bag-ong ngalan nga gipili ni Yahweh.
3 [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.
Mahimo usab kamong maanyag nga korona diha sa kamot ni Yahweh, ug usa ka purongpurong sa pagkahari diha sa kamot sa inyong Dios.
4 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].
Dili na kamo pagatawagon ug, “Sinalikway”; o tawagon sa inyong yuta ug, “Biniyaan.” Sa tinuod, pagatawagon kamo nga “Ang akong kalipay anaa kanila,” ug ang inyong yuta motawag kaninyo nga “Minyo,” kay ang kalipay ni Yahweh anaa kaninyo, ug ang inyong yuta pagaminyoan.
5 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].
Sa pagkatinuod, ingon nga ang batan-ong lalaki mangasawa sa batan-ong babaye, busa pangasaw-on kamo sa inyong mga anak nga lalaki, ug maingon sa usa ka pamanhonon nga magakalipay sa iyang pangasaw-onon, ang inyong Dios magmaya uban kaninyo.
6 [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]!
Nagbutang ako ug tigbantay sa inyong mga kota, O Jerusalem; dili sila magpakahilom sa adlaw ug sa gabii. Kinahanglan dili ka mohunong sa pagpahinumdom kang Yahweh.
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Ayaw gayod siya papahulaya hangtod nga matukod niya pagbalik ang Jerusalem ug mahimo kining usa ka pagdayeg sa yuta.
8 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].
Nanumpa si Yahweh pinaagi sa iyang tuong kamot ug pinaagi sa kusog sa iyang bukton, “Sa pagkatinuod dili ko na gayod ihatag ang inyong pagkaon ngadto sa inyong mga kaaway. Dili na imnon sa mga langyaw ang inyong bag-ong bino, kay gihagoan man ninyo kini.
9 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].”
Kay kadtong nag-ani sa mga trigo maoy mokaon niini ug modayeg kang Yahweh, ug kadtong nagpupo sa mga ubas maoy moinom sa bino sa hawanan sa akong balaan nga templo.”
10 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].
Adto, pag-adto sa ganghaan! Andama ang agianan alang sa katawhan! Himoa kini, paghimo ug lapad nga dalan! Hawani sa mga bato! Pagpataas ug bandila alang sa kanasoran!
11 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.’”
Tan-awa, nagpahibalo si Yahweh ngadto sa kinatumyan sa kalibotan, “Sultihi ang anak nga babaye sa Zion: Tan-awa, ang inyong manluluwas moabot na! Tan-awa, dala niya ang iyang ganti, ug nag-una kaniya ang iyang bayad.”
12 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.
Tawgon ka nila, “Ang balaang katawhan; ang tinubos ni Yahweh,” ug “Pinangita; usa ka siyudad nga dili biniyaan.”
