Aịzaya 62
1 Nʼihi Zayọn agaghị m emechi ọnụ, nʼihi Jerusalem agaghị m anọ jii, ruo mgbe ezi omume ya ga-enwuwa dịka ihe ụtụtụ; mgbe nzọpụta ya kwa ga-enwukwa dịka ọwaọkụ na-enwu enwu.
FOR Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2 Mba niile ga-ahụ ezi omume gị. Ndị eze niile ga-ahụkwa ebube gị. A ga-akpọkwa gị aha ọhụrụ ahụ nke ọnụ Onyenwe anyị ga-agụ gị.
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3 Ị ga-aghọ okpueze nke ịma mma nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ihe iyi nʼisi nke ndị ụlọeze nʼaka Chineke gị.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 A gakwaghị akpọ gị onye ahapụrụ ahapụ, maọbụ kpọọ ala gị ala tọgbọrọ nʼefu. Ma a ga-akpọ gị Hefziba, kpọkwa ala gị Beula, nʼihi na ihe gị ga-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ, a ga-alụkwa ala gị dịka nwunye.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 Dịka nwokorobịa si alụrụ nwaagbọghọ na-amaghị nwoke, otu a ka Onye na-ewu gị ga-alụ gị, dịka onye lụrụ nwunye ọhụrụ sị aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼebe nwunye ọhụrụ ya nọ, otu a ka Chineke gị ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi gị.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 Enyela m ndị nche ọnọdụ ọrụ nʼelu mgbidi gị niile, Jerusalem. Ha agaghị edebe ọnụ ha duu mgbe ọbụla, ma ehihie ma abalị. Unu ndị na-akpọku Onyenwe anyị, unu enyela onwe unu izuike.
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence,
7 Unu enyekwala ya izuike tutu ruo mgbe ọ ga-eme ka Jerusalem guzosie ike, meekwa ya otuto nke ụwa niile.
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 Onyenwe anyị ewerela aka nri ya werekwa ogwe aka ya ṅụọ iyi sị, “Ọ dịghịkwa mgbe m ga-enye mkpụrụ ubi gị ka ọ bụrụ nri nye ndị iro gị ọzọ, ọ dịghịkwa mgbe ndị ọbịa ga-aṅụkwa mmanya ọhụrụ ahụ bụ nke ị dọgburu onwe gị nʼọrụ nʼihi ya.
The Lord hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9 Ma ndị were ya ka ihe ubi ga-eri ya, tookwa Onyenwe anyị, ndị kpokọtara oroma grepu ga-aṅụ ya nʼime ogige ebe nsọ m.”
But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Gabiganụ! Gabiganụ sitenụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama niile. Dozienụ ụzọ maka ndị m. Wuzienụ ụzọ niile, wuzienụ okporoụzọ niile. Bupụsịanụ nkume niile, weliekwanụ ọkọlọtọ maka mba niile.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11 Onyenwe anyị ekwusaala okwu nye nsọtụ niile nke ụwa sị, “Gwanụ Ada Zayọn, ‘Lee Onye Nzọpụta gị na-abịa! Lee, ụgwọ ọrụ ya dị ya nʼaka, nkwụghachi nke ọ ga-akwụghachi sokwa ya na-abịa.’”
Behold, the Lord hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 A ga-akpọ ha Ndị Nsọ, ndị Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara; a ga-akpọkwa unu ndị a na-achọsi ike, Obodo a na-agbakụtaghị azụ.
And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
