< 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].
Nga fah kaskas na in akkeye Jerusalem; Nga fah tia misla nwe ke na moliyukla el, Ac kutangla lal saromrom oana kalem lun sie e ke fong.
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.
Jerusalem, mutunfacl puspis fah liye lah kom kutangla! Tokosra lalos nukewa fah liye wolana lom. Ac fah pangonyuk kom ke sie ine sasu Su LEUM GOD sifacna El ac sot nu sum.
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.
Kom ac fah oana sie tefuro kato nu sin LEUM GOD.
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].
Ac fah tia sifil pangpang kom “Sisla,” Ku facl sum ac tia pangpang “Sikiyukla.” Ine sasu lom uh pa “God El Insewowo Kacl.” Facl sum fah pangpang “Sie Payuk Engan,” Mweyen LEUM GOD El insewowo sum, Ac El ac fah oana sie mukul tuma nu ke facl sum.
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].
Oana ke sie mukul fusr el eis sie mutan virgin in marut sel, El su lumwekomla fah payuk sum. Oana ke sie mukul el engankin mutan ma el tufacna marut sel, Ouinge God lom El fah engan sum.
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]!
Jerusalem, nga oakiya mwet san fin pot lom. Elos fah tia misla ke len ac fong. Elos mwet akesmakye LEUM GOD Tuh Elan tia mulkunla wuleang lal.
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
Elos in tia lela Elan mongla nwe ke El sifil tulokunak Jerusalem Ac oru tuh in sie siti ma faclu nufon kaksakin.
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].
LEUM GOD El orala sie wuleang ku, Ac ke po ku lal El fah akpwayei: “Mwet lokoalok lom ac fah tia sifil kang wheat nom, Ac mwetsac ac fah tia sifil nim wain nimom.
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].”
A kowos su yukwiya ac kosrani wheat uh Fah mongo bread kac ac kaksakin LEUM GOD. Kowos su karingin ac orani grape uh Fah nim wain kac ke inkul in Tempul sik.”
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].
Mwet Jerusalem, kowos in illa liki siti uh Ac musai soko inkanek nu sin mwet lom su ac foloko! Akoo soko inkanek lulap; sisla eot kac uh! Tulokunak sie akul tuh mutunfacl puspis fah ku in etu
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.’”
Lah LEUM GOD El sulkakin kas inge nu sin faclu nufon: “Fahk nu sin mwet Jerusalem Lah LEUM GOD El tuku in molikowosla, Ac El use mwet su El molela welul.”
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.
Kowos ac fah pangpang “Mutanfahl Mutal lun God,” “Mwet Moliyukla sin LEUM GOD.” Ac fah pangpang Jerusalem “Siti se ma Lungkinyuk,” “Siti se ma Tia Sisila.”
