Aịzaya 52
1 Teta, teta gị Zayọn, yikwasị onwe gị ike dịka uwe! Yikwasị onwe gị uwe mara mma, gị Jerusalem, obodo dị nsọ. Ndị a na-ebighị ugwu na ndị rụrụ arụ agaghị abata nʼime gị ọzọ.
Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.
2 Kụchapụ aja dị nʼahụ gị, bilie ọtọ, gị Jerusalem, nọdụ ala nʼocheeze gị. Tọpụ onwe gị site nʼagbụ igwe e kere gị nʼolu, gị ada Zayọn, a dọtara nʼagha.
Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.
3 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Nʼefu ka erere unu, anaghị ndị zụrụ unu ego ọbụla, ọ bụghịkwa ego ka a ga-eji gbapụta unu.”
For the Lord says, You were given for nothing, and you will be made free without price.
4 Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Na mbụ, ọ bụ nʼala Ijipt ka ndị m gara biri, ugbu a, ọ bụ ndị Asịrịa na-akpagbu ha.
For the Lord God says, My people went down at first into Egypt, to get a place for themselves there: and the Assyrian put a cruel yoke on them without cause.
5 “Ma ugbu a, gịnị ka m nwere nʼebe a?” bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ebe ọ bụ na e durula ndị m pụọ nʼefu, ndị na-achị ha na-akwakwa ha emo na-achị ha ọchị nlelị,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ha na-ekwulukwa aha m ogologo ụbọchị niile.
Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.
6 Nʼihi ya, ndị m ga-ama aha m; nʼihi nke a, ha ga-amarakwa nʼụbọchị ahụ na ọ bụ Mụ onwe m kwuru na ọ ga-eme. E, ọ bụ mụ onwe m.”
For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.
7 Lee ka ha si maa mma nʼelu ugwu bụ ụkwụ ndị na-eweta oziọma, onye na-ekwusa okwu udo, e, onye na-eweta akụkọ ọma, onye na-agbasa akụkọ banyere nzọpụta, onye na-asị Zayọn, “Lee, Chineke gị bụ eze!”
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!
8 Geenụ ntị! Nụrụnụ olu ndị nche unu, ndị na-eweli olu ha elu na-eti mkpu ọṅụ. Nʼihi na mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-alọghachi Zayọn, ha ga-ahụ ya anya.
The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.
9 Tienụ mkpu ọṅụ unu mkpọmkpọ ebe niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ na Jerusalem, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị akasịela ndị ya obi. Ọ gbapụtala Jerusalem.
Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.
10 Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka mba niile hụrụ ike ya dị nsọ; ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ ga-ahụkwa nzọpụta Chineke anyị.
The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
11 Wezuganụ onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu, sinụ nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Unu emetụkwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ aka. Sitenụ nʼetiti ya pụta, dịrịnụ ọcha, unu ndị na-ebu ihe dị iche iche nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.
Away! away! go out from there, touching no unclean thing; go out from among her; be clean, you who take up the vessels of the Lord.
12 Ma unu agaghị eji ọkụ ọkụ pụọ, unu agakwaghị agbapụ ọsọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ebutere unu ụzọ, ọ bụkwa ya, Chineke Izrel, ga-echebe unu nʼazụ.
For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.
13 Lee, ohu m ga-enwe uche, a ga-ebulikwa ya elu, ọ ga-abụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ.
See, my servant will do well in his undertakings, he will be honoured, and lifted up, and be very high.
14 Dịka ibubo si nwụọ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼahụ; otu a ka ihu ya bụ ihe e bibiri ebibi nke ukwuu, nke mere na ọ dịkwaghị ka ihu mmadụ ọzọ, anụ ahụ ya ka ebibikwara nʼụzọ ọ na-agaghị eyikwa anụ ahụ mmadụ.
As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.
15 Otu a ka ọ ga-esi fesaa ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-emechikwa ọnụ ha nʼihi ya, ọ bụ ihe a na-agwaghị ha ka ha ga-ahụ, ihe ha a ka anụbeghị, ka ha ga-aghọtakwa.
So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.
