< 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].
Dahil sa Sion ay hindi ako tatahimik, at dahil sa Jerusalem ay hindi ako magpapahinga, hanggang sa ang kaniyang katuwiran ay lumitaw na parang ningning, at ang kaniyang kaligtasan ay parang ilawan na nagniningas.
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.
At makikita ng mga bansa ang iyong katuwiran, at ng lahat na hari ang inyong kaluwalhatian; at ikaw ay tatawagin sa bagong pangalan, na ipangangalan ng bibig ng Panginoon.
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 naman ay magiging putong ng kagandahan sa kamay ng Panginoon, at diademang hari sa kamay ng iyong 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].
Hindi ka na tatawagin pang Pinabayaan; hindi na rin tatawagin pa ang iyong lupain na Giba: kundi ikaw ay tatawaging Hephzi-bah, at ang iyong lupain ay Beulah: sapagka't ang Panginoon ay nalulugod sa iyo, at ang iyong lupain ay tatangkilikin.
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].
Sapagka't kung paanong ang binata ay nakikipagtipan sa dalaga, gayon nakikipagtipan ang iyong mga anak na lalake sa iyo; at kung paanong ang kasintahang lalake ay nagagalak sa kasintahang babae, gayon magagalak ang Dios sa iyo.
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'y naglagay ng mga bantay sa iyong mga kuta, Oh Jerusalem; sila'y hindi magsisitahimik kailan man sa araw o sa gabi: kayong mga mapagalaala sa Panginoon, huwag kayong mangagpahinga,
7 And tell Yahweh that he should not rest until he causes Jerusalem to be [a city that is] famous throughout the world.
At huwag ninyong bigyan siya ng kapahingahan, hanggang sa siya'y matatag, at hanggang sa kaniyang gawing kapurihan sa lupa ang Jerusalem.
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].
Ang Panginoon ay sumumpa ng kaniyang kanang kamay, at ng bisig ng kaniyang kalakasan, Tunay na hindi na ako magbibigay ng iyong trigo na pinakapagkain sa iyong mga kaaway; at ang mga taga ibang lupa ay hindi magsisiinom ng iyong alak, na iyong pinagpagalan.
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].”
Kundi silang nangagimbak niyaon ay magsisikain niyaon, at magsisipuri sa Panginoon; at silang nangagtipon niyaon ay magsisiinom niyaon sa mga looban ng aking santuario.
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].
Kayo'y magsidaan, kayo'y magsidaan sa mga pintuang-bayan; inyong ihanda ang lansangan ng bayan; inyong patagin; inyong patagin ang maluwang na lansangan; inyong pulutin ang mga bato; mangagtaas kayo ng watawat na ukol sa mga bayan.
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.’”
Narito, ang Panginoon ay nagtanyag hanggang sa wakas ng lupa, Inyong sabihin sa anak na babae ng Sion, Narito, ang iyong kaligtasan ay dumarating; narito, ang kaniyang kagantihan ay nasa kaniya, at ang kaniyang ganti ay nasa harap niya.
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.
At tatawagin nila sila Ang banal na bayan, Ang tinubos ng Panginoon: at ikaw ay tatawagin Hinanap, Bayang hindi pinabayaan.
