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].
Nʼihi Zayọn agaghị m emechi ọnụ, nʼihi Jerusalem agaghị m anọ jii, ruo mgbe ezi omume ya ga-enwuwa dịka ihe ụtụtụ; mgbe nzọpụta ya kwa ga-enwukwa dịka ọwaọkụ na-enwu enwu.
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.
Mba niile ga-ahụ ezi omume gị. Ndị eze niile ga-ahụkwa ebube gị. A ga-akpọkwa gị aha ọhụrụ ahụ nke ọnụ Onyenwe anyị ga-agụ gị.
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.
Ị ga-aghọ okpueze nke ịma mma nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ihe iyi nʼisi nke ndị ụlọeze nʼaka Chineke gị.
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].
A gakwaghị akpọ gị onye ahapụrụ ahapụ, maọbụ kpọọ ala gị ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ma a ga-akpọ gị Hefziba, kpọkwa ala gị Beula, nʼihi na ihe gị ga-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, a ga-alụkwa ala gị dịka nwunye.
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].
Dịka nwokorobịa si alụrụ nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, otu a ka Onye na-ewu gị ga-alụ gị, dịka onye lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ sị aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼebe nwunye ọhụrụ ya nọ, otu a ka Chineke gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi gị.
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]!
Enyela m ndị nche ọnọdụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi gị niile, Jerusalem. Ha agaghị edebe ọnụ ha duu mgbe ọbụla, ma ehihie ma abalị. Unu ndị na-akpọku Onyenwe anyị, unu enyela onwe unu izuike.
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Unu enyekwala ya izuike tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-eme ka Jerusalem guzosie ike, meekwa ya otuto nke ụwa niile.
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].
Onyenwe anyị ewerela aka nri ya werekwa ogwe aka ya ṅụọ iyi sị, “Ọ dịghịkwa mgbe m ga-enye mkpụrụ ubi gị ka ọ bụrụ nri nye ndị iro gị ọzọ, ọ dịghịkwa mgbe ndị ọbịa ga-aṅụkwa mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ bụ nke ị dọgburu onwe gị nʼọrụ nʼihi ya.
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].”
Ma ndị were ya ka ihe ubi ga-eri ya, tookwa Onyenwe anyị, ndị kpokọtara oroma grepu ga-aṅụ ya nʼime ogige ebe nsọ m.”
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].
Gabiganụ! Gabiganụ sitenụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama niile. Dozienụ ụzọ maka ndị m. Wuzienụ ụzọ niile, wuzienụ okporoụzọ niile. Bupụsịanụ nkume niile, weliekwanụ ọkọlọtọ maka mba niile.
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.’”
Onyenwe anyị ekwusaala okwu nye nsọtụ niile nke ụwa sị, “Gwanụ Ada Zayọn, ‘Lee Onye Nzọpụta gị na-abịa! Lee, ụgwọ ọrụ ya dị ya nʼaka, nkwụghachi nke ọ ga-akwụghachi sokwa ya na-abịa.’”
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.
A ga-akpọ ha Ndị Nsọ, ndị Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara; a ga-akpọkwa unu ndị a na-achọsi ike, Obodo a na-agbakụtaghị azụ.
