Yesaya 35

1 Chipululu ndi dziko lopanda madzi zidzasangalala; dziko lowuma lidzakondwa ndi kuchita maluwa.

The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

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 shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

3 Limbitsani manja ofowoka, limbitsani mawondo agwedegwede;

Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering 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 them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.

5 Pamenepo maso a anthu osaona adzapenyanso ndipo makutu a anthu osamva adzatsekuka.

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;

6 Anthu olumala adzalumpha ngati mbawala, ndipo osayankhula adzayimba mokondwera. Akasupe adzatumphuka mʼchipululu ndipo mitsinje idzayenda mʼdziko lowuma,

then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.

7 mchenga wotentha udzasanduka dziwe, nthaka yowuma idzasanduka ya akasupe. Pamene panali mbuto ya ankhandwe padzamera udzu ndi bango.

And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 Ndipo kumeneko kudzakhala msewu waukulu; ndipo udzatchedwa Msewu Wopatulika. Anthu odetsedwa sadzayendamo mʼmenemo; zitsiru sizidzasochera mʼmenemo.

And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even fools, — shall not err [therein].

9 Kumeneko sikudzakhala mkango, ngakhale nyama yolusa sidzafikako; sidzapezeka konse kumeneko. Koma okhawo amene Yehova anawapulumutsa adzayenda mu msewu umenewu.

No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].

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 ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
