Isaya 35

1 Kuonde motimo ongoro kendo mobaro okak nobed mamor; kuonde thimbe nobed moil kendo momiyo ka maua mathiewo, mana kaka ondanyo,

Be glad, you thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

2 enogol maua mabeyo, mi nobed gi mor ka ogoyo koko gi ilo. Enobed gi duongʼ mar Lebanon, gi mor mar Karmel kod Sharon; ginine duongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa maber.

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

3 Teguru bede mayom yom, rieuru chong monyosore;

Be strong, you relaxed hands and palsied knees.

4 koneuru joma nigi chuny mool ni, “Beduru motegno kendo kik uluor; nimar Nyasachu biro biro, mondo ochul kuor ne wasiku, kaka owinjore kendo oresu.”

Comfort one another, you faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgement, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.

5 Eka joma muofni nonen kendo joma itgi odino nowinj wach.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

6 Eka rongʼonde nolengʼre ka nyakech kendo momni nokog gi mor. Pi nobubni kowuok e thim, kendo oula nomol kar ongoro.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.

7 Piny ma yande otwo nolokre dago, kendo achiya nowuog e lowo motwo. Lum, odundu kod togo nodongi kama ondiegi yande odakie.

And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

8 Kendo wangʼ yo nobedi kanyo, mi noluonge ni Wangʼ Yo Maler. Joma ok ler ok nowuothie, to nobedi wangʼ yo ma joma kare ema luwo, joma ofuwo ma joricho ok nowuothie.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

9 Onge sibuor manoyud kuno kata mana ondieg bungu mager manade, ok nosud machiegni kanyo. To mana joma Nyasaye osewaro ema nowuothie,

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,

10 kendo joma Jehova Nyasaye osereso nodwogi. Ginidonji Sayun ka giwer; kendo ka ilo mosiko opongʼo chunygi. Ginibed gi mor gi ilo mosiko, kendo kuyo kod parruok norum chuth.

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.
