< 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].
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.
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.
Ogendini none timni makare, kendo ruodhi duto none duongʼ mari; bangʼe noluongi gi nying manyien, ma Jehova Nyasaye biro chaki.
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.
Inibed kondo maber e lwet Jehova Nyasaye bende inibed osimb loch e lwet Nyasachi.
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].
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.
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].
Kaka wuowi kendo nyako e kaka yawuoti nokendi; to bende kaka ngʼama okendo mor gi chiege, e kaka Nyasachi nobed mamor kodi.
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]!
Yaye Jerusalem, aseoro jorit e ohinga mari ok ginilingʼ odiechiengʼ gotieno. Un muluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye kik unyosru,
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
kendo kik umiye yweyo nyaka chop olos Jerusalem mi omi obed dala marahuma mipako e piny ngima.
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].
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;
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].”
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.”
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].
Kaluru, kaluru dhorangach! Losuru yo ne joga. Buguru, buguru yore! Goluru kite. Tingʼuru bandera malo mondo pinje one.
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.’”
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.’”
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.
Enoluong-gi ni Oganda Maler, ma Jehova Nyasaye Osewalo; kendo noluongi ni Dala Midwaro Gwedho ma en Dala Maduongʼ Ma Ok Nochak Ojwangʼ.
