< Yesaya 35 >
1 Chipululu ndi dziko lopanda madzi zidzasangalala; dziko lowuma lidzakondwa ndi kuchita maluwa.
The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall 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 shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God.
3 Limbitsani manja ofowoka, limbitsani mawondo agwedegwede;
Strengthen ye the feeble 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 revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you.
5 Pamenepo maso a anthu osaona adzapenyanso ndipo makutu a anthu osamva adzatsekuka.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall 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 shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness.
7 mchenga wotentha udzasanduka dziwe, nthaka yowuma idzasanduka ya akasupe. Pamene panali mbuto ya ankhandwe padzamera udzu ndi bango.
And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwell before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush.
8 Ndipo kumeneko kudzakhala msewu waukulu; ndipo udzatchedwa Msewu Wopatulika. Anthu odetsedwa sadzayendamo mʼmenemo; zitsiru sizidzasochera mʼmenemo.
And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that 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 any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered.
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 shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
