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 the sake of Zion will I not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem will I not be quiet; until its righteousness go forth as the brightness [of light], and its salvation as a burning torch.
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 nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory; and men shall call thee by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall pronounce.
3 Ị ga-aghọ okpueze nke ịma mma nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, ihe iyi nʼisi nke ndị ụlọeze nʼaka Chineke gị.
And thou shalt be a crown of ornament 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 not be termed any more “Forsaken,” and thy land shall not be termed any more “Desolate;” for thou shalt be called “My delight in her” [[Chephzi-bah]], and thy land “Espoused” [[Be'ulah]]; for the Lord will have delight in thee, and thy land shall be espoused.
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 espouseth a virgin, so shall thy sons espouse thee; and as the bridegroom is glad over the bride, so will be glad over thee thy God.
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.
Over thy walls, O Jerusalem, have I appointed watchmen, all the day and all the night, continually, shall they not be silent: ye that make mention of the Lord, take ye no rest.
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, until he have established, and until he have set up Jerusalem as a praise on 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.
Sworn hath the Lord by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, I will not give thy corn any more as food for thy enemies, and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy young wine for which thou hast labored;
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 who gather it shall eat it, and praise the Lord; and they who bring it together shall drink it in the courts of my sanctuary.
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.
Pass, pass through the gates, make clear the way of the people, cast up, cast up the highway, remove away the stones, lift up a banner over the nations.
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 caused to be heard unto the ends of the earth, “Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold his reward is with him, and his recompense 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 for, [[Derusha, ]] The city never forsaken.
