God Will Rescue Jerusalem
1 Jerusalem, be strong and great again!
Holy city of God, clothe yourself with splendor!
The heathen will never enter your gates again.
2 Shake yourself free, Jerusalem!
Rise from the dust and sit on your throne!
Undo the chains that bind you,
captive people of Zion!
3 The Sovereign Lord says to his people, “When you became slaves, no money was paid for you; in the same way nothing will be paid to set you free. 4 When you went to live in Egypt as foreigners, you did so of your own free will; Assyria, however, took you away by force and paid nothing for you. 5 And now in Babylonia the same thing has happened: you are captives, and nothing was paid for you. Those who rule over you boast and brag and constantly show contempt for me. 6 In time to come you will acknowledge that I am God and that I have spoken to you.”
7 How wonderful it is to see
a messenger coming across the mountains,
bringing good news, the news of peace!
He announces victory and says to Zion,
“Your God is king!”
8 Those who guard the city are shouting,
shouting together for joy.
They can see with their own eyes
the return of the Lord to Zion.
9 Break into shouts of joy,
you ruins of Jerusalem!
The Lord will rescue his city
and comfort his people.
10 The Lord will use his holy power;
he will save his people,
and all the world will see it.
11 Be sure to leave Babylonia,
all you that carry the Temple equipment.
Touch no forbidden thing;
keep yourselves holy and leave.
12 This time you will not have to leave in a hurry;
you will not be trying to escape.
The Lord your God will lead you
and protect you on every side.
The Suffering Servant
13 The Lord says,
“My servant will succeed in his task;
he will be highly honored.
14 Many people were shocked when they saw him;
he was so disfigured that he hardly looked human.
15 But now many nations will marvel at him,
and kings will be speechless with amazement.
They will see and understand
something they had never known.”
Lu Opana Yerusalema 'da
1 Mipi mi, mipi mi, nya'do mbara ro Yerusalema;

Ànya se kayibe ami miri kai kayi driuŋgyi, ànya kayi ma mawo ondoalo. 6 Ta'doro minana ma ndi; tuse ka oyebe esane ana ya minina ndi anjioko ma atani ämiri, ago ma ni Lu yi.”

Nda ka ta 'diopa ro ayona ago ka ata Zaiona ri ekye:

8 Nyeri 'bakici gaga'bai amiro kayi totre,

Ànya ndreyi egodri OPI ro Zaiona ya te

Ruindu'ba se Ruezavoya
13 OPI ka ata ekye:
“Ruindu'ba maro oyena losi ndaro 'da kadoro;
äräṛuna nda 'da,
ago arona nda 'da ndra.
14 Lidri amba a'doyite lä'bilä'biro nda ondrevoya;

nda a'dote liŋgyiako 'ba nda landre kote oso lidri ronye.
15 Oko yauono tu'dei laronayi 'da ta ndaro ta,
ago 'bädri'bai orinayi 'da ataako ta ndaro si.
Ŋgase iti tana ko ànyari 'do, ànya ondrenayi 'da
ago keriyi ko 'do ànya uninayi tazevo na 'da.”
