< 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].
Para iti pagsayaatan ti Sion, saanakto nga agulimek, ken para iti pagsayaatan ti Jerusalem, saanakto nga agtalna, agingga a ti kinalintegna ket agraniag, ken ti pannakaisalakanna ket kas iti umap-apuy a pagsilawan.
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.
Makitanto dagiti nasion ti kinalintegmo, kasta met a makitanto dagiti amin nga ari ti dayagmo. Mapanaganankanto iti baro a nagan a pilien 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.
Agbalinkanto pay a napintas a korona iti ima ni Yahweh, ken maysa a turban ti kinaari iti ima ti Diosmo.
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].
Saankanton maawagan a, “Nabaybay-an”; ken saanton a maawagan ti dagam a, “Langalang.” Kinapudnona, kastoyto ti maiyawag kenka “Isuna ti pakaragsakak,” ken ti dagam ket, “Naiyasawa”, ta maay-ayo kenka ni Yahweh, ken kasla maiyasawanto ti dagam.
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].
Kas iti panangasawa ti baro iti maysa a balasang, kastanto ti panangasawa kenka dagiti annakmo a lallaki. Kas iti kinaragsak ti nobio gapu iti nobiana, kastanto met a maragsakan ti Diosmo kenka.
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]!
Nangisaadak kadagiti agwanawan kadagiti bakudmo, Jerusalem; saanda nga agul-ulimek iti aldaw wenno rabii. Dakayo a kanayon a mangpalpalgip kenni Yahweh, saankayo nga agsardeng.
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Saanyo nga ipalubos nga aginana ni Yahweh agingga nga ibangonna manen ti Jerusalem ken pagbalinenna daytoy a nadayaw iti rabaw ti daga.
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].
Nagsapata ni Yahweh babaen iti makannawan nga imana ken babaen iti pannakabalinna, “Saankonton a pulos nga ited ti trigoyo a kas taraon kadagiti kabusoryo. Saanto nga inumen dagiti ganggannaet ti baro nga arakyo a nagbannoganyo.
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].”
Ta dagiti agapit kadagiti trigo ket kanendanto daytoy ken dayawenda ni Yahweh, ken dagiti agburas kadagiti ubas ket inumendanto ti arak iti paraangan ti nasantoan a santuariok.”
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].
Rummuarkayo, rummuarkayo kadagiti ruangan! Isaganayo ti dalan para kadagiti tattao! Patadenyo daytoy, Patadenyo ti kangrunaan a dalan! Ikkatenyo dagiti batbato! Ingatoyo ti bandera a pagilasinan para kadagiti nasion!
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.’”
Kitaenyo, impakaammo ni Yahweh agingga kadagiti nagpatinggaan ti daga, “Ibagayo iti anak a babai ti Sion: Kitaem, umayen ti Mannubbotmo! Kitaem, awitna ti panggunggonana, ken adda iti sangoananna ti pangsupapakna.”
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.
Awagandakayonto iti, “Dagiti nasantoan a tattao; ti sinubbot ni Yahweh,” ken maawagankayonto iti, “Dagiti nabirukan; ti siudad a saan a nabaybay-an.”
