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 Jehovah is upon me, For Jehovah hath anointed me; He hath sent me to publish good tidings to the distressed, To bind up the broken-hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
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 proclaim the year of mercy from Jehovah, And the day of vengeance from our God; 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.
To give gladness to the mourners in Zion; To give them a beautiful crown instead of ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, So that they shall be called blessed terebinth-trees, The plantation of Jehovah for his 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.
They shall build up the old ruins; They shall raise up the ancient desolations; They shall repair the cities laid waste, The desolations of 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.
Strangers shall stand up and feed your flocks, And the sons of the alien 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 ye shall be named the priests of Jehovah, Men shall call you the ministers of our God. Ye shall eat the riches of the nations, And in their glory shall ye make your boast.
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.
For your shame shall ye have a double reward; And for ignominy ye shall rejoice in your portion; Therefore in your land ye shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be your portion.
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, Jehovah, love justice, I hate rapine and iniquity, I will give them their reward with faithfulness, And an everlasting covenant will I make 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.”
Their race shall be illustrious among the nations, And their offspring among the people; All that see them shall acknowledge That they are a race which Jehovah hath blessed.
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.
“I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah; My soul shall exult in my God; For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; He hath covered me with the mantle of deliverance. As the bridegroom decketh himself with his turban, And as the bride adorneth herself with her jewels.”
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.
For as the earth putteth forth her shoots, And as a garden causeth its plants to spring forth, So shall the Lord Jehovah cause salvation to spring forth; And praise before all the nations.
