Isaiah 61:2
cebuano-apsd
Gipadala usab niya ako aron sa pagmantala nga miabot na ang panahon nga luwason sa Ginoo ang iyang katawhan, ug silotan ang ilang mga kaaway. Gipadala usab niya ako aron sa paglipay sa mga nagsubo sa Jerusalem, aron imbis nga abo ang ibutang nila sa ilang ulo sa pagpaila nga nagsubo sila, korona nga bulak ang ilang ibutang, ug haplasan nilag lana ang ilang ulo sa pagpaila nga malipayon sila. Imbis nga maguol, magdayeg sila. Mahisama sila sa lig-on nga kahoyng terebinto nga gitanom sa Ginoo. Tawgon silang mga matarong alang sa kadungganan sa Ginoo.
