Isaiah 52
1 Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
Teta, teta gị Zayọn, yikwasị onwe gị ike dịka uwe! Yikwasị onwe gị uwe mara mma, gị Jerusalem, obodo dị nsọ. Ndị a na-ebighị ugwu na ndị rụrụ arụ agaghị abata nʼime gị ọzọ.
2 Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Kụchapụ aja dị nʼahụ gị, bilie ọtọ, gị Jerusalem, nọdụ ala nʼocheeze gị. Tọpụ onwe gị site nʼagbụ igwe e kere gị nʼolu, gị ada Zayọn, a dọtara nʼagha.
3 This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Nʼefu ka erere unu, anaghị ndị zụrụ unu ego ọbụla, ọ bụghịkwa ego ka a ga-eji gbapụta unu.”
4 This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Na mbụ, ọ bụ nʼala Ijipt ka ndị m gara biri, ugbu a, ọ bụ ndị Asịrịa na-akpagbu ha.
5 What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
“Ma ugbu a, gịnị ka m nwere nʼebe a?” bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ebe ọ bụ na e durula ndị m pụọ nʼefu, ndị na-achị ha na-akwakwa ha emo na-achị ha ọchị nlelị,” ka Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara. “Ha na-ekwulukwa aha m ogologo ụbọchị niile.
6 So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
Nʼihi ya, ndị m ga-ama aha m; nʼihi nke a, ha ga-amarakwa nʼụbọchị ahụ na ọ bụ Mụ onwe m kwuru na ọ ga-eme. E, ọ bụ mụ onwe m.”
7 What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Lee ka ha si maa mma nʼelu ugwu bụ ụkwụ ndị na-eweta oziọma, onye na-ekwusa okwu udo, e, onye na-eweta akụkọ ọma, onye na-agbasa akụkọ banyere nzọpụta, onye na-asị Zayọn, “Lee, Chineke gị bụ eze!”
8 The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
Geenụ ntị! Nụrụnụ olu ndị nche unu, ndị na-eweli olu ha elu na-eti mkpu ọṅụ. Nʼihi na mgbe Onyenwe anyị ga-alọghachi Zayọn, ha ga-ahụ ya anya.
9 Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
Tienụ mkpu ọṅụ unu mkpọmkpọ ebe niile e tikpọrọ etikpọ na Jerusalem, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị akasịela ndị ya obi. Ọ gbapụtala Jerusalem.
10 The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka mba niile hụrụ ike ya dị nsọ; ebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ ga-ahụkwa nzọpụta Chineke anyị.
11 Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
Wezuganụ onwe unu, wezuganụ onwe unu, sinụ nʼebe ahụ pụọ. Unu emetụkwala ihe ọbụla rụrụ arụ aka. Sitenụ nʼetiti ya pụta, dịrịnụ ọcha, unu ndị na-ebu ihe dị iche iche nke ụlọ Onyenwe anyị.
12 But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
Ma unu agaghị eji ọkụ ọkụ pụọ, unu agakwaghị agbapụ ọsọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-ebutere unu ụzọ, ọ bụkwa ya, Chineke Izrel, ga-echebe unu nʼazụ.
13 Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
Lee, ohu m ga-enwe uche, a ga-ebulikwa ya elu, ọ ga-abụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ.
14 But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
Dịka ibubo si nwụọ ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼahụ; otu a ka ihu ya bụ ihe e bibiri ebibi nke ukwuu, nke mere na ọ dịkwaghị ka ihu mmadụ ọzọ, anụ ahụ ya ka ebibikwara nʼụzọ ọ na-agaghị eyikwa anụ ahụ mmadụ.
15 He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
Otu a ka ọ ga-esi fesaa ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị eze ga-emechikwa ọnụ ha nʼihi ya, ọ bụ ihe a na-agwaghị ha ka ha ga-ahụ, ihe ha a ka anụbeghị, ka ha ga-aghọtakwa.
