Yesaya 35
1 Chipululu ndi dziko lopanda madzi zidzasangalala; dziko lowuma lidzakondwa ndi kuchita maluwa.
The desolate and impassable land will rejoice, and the place of solitude will exult, and it will flourish like the lily.
2 Dzikolo lidzakhala ndi maluwa ochuluka lidzasangalala kwambiri ndi kufuwula mwachimwemwe. Lidzakhala ndi ulemerero monga wa ku mapiri a ku Lebanoni, maonekedwe ake wokongola adzakhala ngati a ku Karimeli ndi a ku Saroni. Aliyense adzaona ulemerero wa Yehova, ukulu wa Mulungu wathu.
It will spring up and blossom, and it will exult with rejoicing and praising. The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, with the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. These will see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
3 Limbitsani manja ofowoka, limbitsani mawondo agwedegwede;
Strengthen the lax hands, and confirm the weak knees!
4 nenani kwa a mitima yamantha kuti; “Limbani mtima, musachite mantha; Mulungu wanu akubwera, akubwera kudzalipsira; ndi kudzabwezera chilango adani anu; akubwera kudzakupulumutsani.”
Say to the fainthearted: “Take courage and fear not! Behold, your God will bring the vindication of retribution. God himself will arrive to save you.”
5 Pamenepo maso a anthu osaona adzapenyanso ndipo makutu a anthu osamva adzatsekuka.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be cleared.
6 Anthu olumala adzalumpha ngati mbawala, ndipo osayankhula adzayimba mokondwera. Akasupe adzatumphuka mʼchipululu ndipo mitsinje idzayenda mʼdziko lowuma,
Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.
7 mchenga wotentha udzasanduka dziwe, nthaka yowuma idzasanduka ya akasupe. Pamene panali mbuto ya ankhandwe padzamera udzu ndi bango.
And the land that was dry will have a pond, and the thirsty land will have fountains of water. In the hollows where the serpents lived before, there will rise up the greenery of reed and bulrush.
8 Ndipo kumeneko kudzakhala msewu waukulu; ndipo udzatchedwa Msewu Wopatulika. Anthu odetsedwa sadzayendamo mʼmenemo; zitsiru sizidzasochera mʼmenemo.
And there shall be a path and a road in that place. And it will be called the Holy Way. The defiled will not pass through it. For this will be an upright path for you, so much so that the foolish will not wander along it.
9 Kumeneko sikudzakhala mkango, ngakhale nyama yolusa sidzafikako; sidzapezeka konse kumeneko. Koma okhawo amene Yehova anawapulumutsa adzayenda mu msewu umenewu.
There will be no lions in that place, and harmful wild animals will neither climb up to it, nor be found there. Only those who have been freed will walk in that place.
10 Iwo amene Yehova anawawombola adzabwerera. Adzalowa mu mzinda wa Ziyoni akuyimba; kumeneko adzakondwa mpaka muyaya. Adzakutidwa ndi chisangalalo ndi chimwemwe, ndipo chisoni ndi kudandaula zidzatheratu.
And the redeemed of the Lord will be converted, and they will return to Zion with praising. And everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and rejoicing. For pain and sorrow will flee away.
