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 GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to publish good tidings to the meek; he hath sent me 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 acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of 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 appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified.
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 wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, 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.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien [shall be] your plowmen and your 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 the LORD: [men] shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
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 [ye shall have] double; and [for] confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them.
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 the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt-offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I 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 among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they [are] the seed [which] the LORD 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 the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a 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 bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
