< 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].
Tungod kang Sion ako dili mohilum, ug tungod sa Jerusalem ako dili mopahulay, hangtud nga ang iyang pagkamatarung mogula ingon sa dan-ag, ug ang iyang kaluwasan ingon sa usa ka lamparahan nga nagasiga.
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.
Ug ang mga nasud makakita sa imong pagkamatarung, ug ang tanang mga hari makakita sa imong himaya; ug ikaw pagatawgon sa usa ka ngalan nga bag-o, nga igangalan sa baba ni Jehova.
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.
Ikaw usab mamahimong usa ka purongpurong sa kaanyag sa kamot ni Jehova, ug usa ka hirianong purongpurong sa kamot sa imong 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 gayud ikaw pagatawgon nga Biniyaan; ni ang imong yuta pagatawgon pa nga Kamingawan: apan ikaw pagatawgon nga Hephzibah, ug ang imong yuta pagatawgon nga Beulah; kay si Jehova nahimuot kanimo, ug ang imong yuta pagaminyoon.
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].
Kay ingon nga ang usa ka batan-ong lalake mangasawa ug usa ka ulay, ingon man ang imong mga anak nga lalake mangasawa kanimo; ug ingon nga ang pamanhonon magakalipay sa iyang pangasaw-onon, ingon man ang imong Dios magakalipay kanimo.
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]!
Ako nagbutang ug mga lalake nga magbalantay sa ibabaw sa imong mga kuta, Oh Jerusalem; sila dili magahilum maadlaw ni magabii; kamo nga mga tigpahinumdum kang Jehova, ayaw kamo pagpahulay,
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Ug ayaw siya paghatagi ug pagpahulay, hangtud nga matukod niya, ug hangtud nga ang Jerusalem mahimo niya nga 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].
Si Jehova nanumpa pinaagi sa iyang kamot nga too, ug pinaagi sa bukton sa iyang kusog: Sa pagkamatuod dili ko na gayud ihatag ang imong tinapay nga kalan-on sa imong mga kaaway; ug ang mga lumalangwaw dili magainum sa imong bag-ong vino, nga imong gikabudlayan:
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].”
Apan kadtong nanag-ani niini magakaon niini, ug managdayeg kang Jehova; ug kadtong nanaghipos niini maoy manag-inum niini diha sa mga sawang sa akong balaang puloy-anan.
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].
Umagi kamo, umagi kamo sa mga ganghaan; andama ninyo ang alagianan sa katawohan; hinloi, hinloi ang dalan; hipusa ang mga bato; pag-isa ug usa ka bandila alang sa mga katawohan.
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.’”
Ania karon, si Jehova nagmantala ngadto sa kinatumyan sa yuta: Ingna ninyo ang anak nga babaye sa Sion: Ania karon, ang imong kaluwasan miabut na; tan-awa, ang iyang ganti anaa kaniya, ug ang iyang balus anaa sa iyang atubangan.
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.
Ug sila pagatawgon nila: Ang balaang katawohan, Ang tinubos ni Jehova: ug ikaw pagatawgon nga Pinangita, Usa ka ciudad nga dili biniyaan.
