Aịzaya 61
1 Mmụọ nke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị dị nʼahụ m, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị eteela m mmanụ ka m kwusaa oziọma nye ndị ogbenye. O zitela m ịkasị ndị obi ha tiwara etiwa obi, ikwupụta inwere onwe nye ndị a dọtara nʼagha, na ntọghapụ site nʼọchịchịrị nye ndị mkpọrọ.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
2 O zitere m ikwupụta afọ mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-eji ihuọma leta ndị mmadụ, na ụbọchị ịbọ ọbọ nke Chineke anyị. O zitekwara m ịkasị ndị niile na-eru ụjụ obi,
to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
3 na igboro ndị niile na-eru ụjụ na Zayọn ihe na-akpa ha. O zitere m inye ha okpueze mara mma nʼọnọdụ ntụ, inye ha ọṅụ, nʼọnọdụ ịkwa akwa, na iyikwasị ha mmụọ otuto nʼọnọdụ mmụọ ịda mba. Nʼihi na Chineke akụọla ezi omume nʼime ha, dịka osisi ook siri ike, igosi ịma mma Onyenwe anyị.
that there should be given to them that mourn in Sion glory instead of ashes, the oil of joy to the mourners, the garment of glory for the spirit of heaviness: and they shall be called generations of righteousness, the planting of the Lord for glory.
4 Ha ga-ewugharịkwa ebe niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ nʼoge ochie, doziekwa ebe niile tọgbọrọ nʼefu site nʼoge dị anya; ha ga-eme ka obodo e tikpọrọ etikpọ dị ọhụrụ, bụ ebe tọgbọrọrị nʼefu nke ọtụtụ ọgbọ gara aga.
And they shall build the old waste places, they shall raise up those that were before made desolate, and shall renew the desert cities, [even] those that had been desolate for [many] generations.
5 Ndị ọbịa ga-azụrụ gị igwe ewu na atụrụ unu; ndị mba ọzọ ga-akọrọ unu ala ubi unu, lekọtakwa ubi vaịnị unu niile.
And strangers shall come and feed your flocks, and aliens [shall be your] ploughmen and vine-dressers.
6 A ga-akpọ unu ndị nchụaja Onyenwe anyị, kpọkwa unu ndị ozi Chineke anyị. A ga-eji akụ niile si na mba dị iche iche zụọ unu. Ọ bụkwa akụnụba ha ka unu ga-eji nyaa isi.
But you shall be called priests of the Lord, the ministers of God: you shall eat the strength of nations, and shall be admired because of their wealth.
7 Nʼọnọdụ ihere dịịrị ha ugbu a, ndị m ga-enweta ngọzị okpukpu abụọ, nʼọnọdụ nkọcha dịịrị ha ha ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi ihe nketa ha nwetara. Ha ga-enweta okpukpu ihe nketa ala abụọ, ketakwa ọṅụ nke ga-adịgidere ha ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head.
8 “Nʼihi na mụ onwe m, Onyenwe anyị, na-ahụ ikpe ziri ezi nʼanya. Ma ana m akpọ izu ohi na ajọ omume niile asị. Aga m esite nʼikwesị ntụkwasị obi m kwụghachi ndị m nʼihi ahụhụ ha tara, mụ na ha ga-agbakwa ndụ ebighị ebi.
For I am the Lord who love righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labour to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Mkpụrụ ha ga-abụ ndị a ma ama, a ga-asọpụkwara ha nʼetiti mba niile. Ndị niile hụrụ ha ga-amata, kwupụtakwa na ha bụ ndị Onyenwe anyị gọziri.”
And their seed shall be known amongst the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;
10 Obi na-atọ m ụtọ nke ukwuu nʼime Onyenwe anyị, mkpụrụobi m ga-etegharịkwa egwu ọṅụ nʼime Chineke m. Nʼihi na o werela uwe nzọpụta kpuchie m, werekwa uwe oke ọṅụ nke ezi omume ya yikwasị m nʼahụ. Adị m ka nwoke na-alụ nwanyị ọhụrụ, onye na-emezi isi ya ka ọ dịrị ka nke onye nchụaja. E, adị m ka nwaagbọghọ na-alụ di, nke ji ọla ọma dị iche iche chọọ onwe ya mma.
and they shall greatly rejoice in the Lord. Let my soul rejoice in the Lord; for he has clothed me with the robe of salvation, and the garment of joy: he has put a mitre on me as on a bridegroom, and adorned me with ornaments as a bride.
11 Dịka aja dị nʼubi si eme ka ihe a kụrụ nʼubi pupụta, dịka ubi a gbara ogige si eme ka mkpụrụ ubi too, otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị ga-esi mee ka ezi omume na otuto pupụta nʼihu mba niile.
And as the earth putting forth her flowers, and as a garden its seed; so shall the Lord, [even] the Lord, cause righteousness to spring forth, and exultation before all nations.
