Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Jangwa na Arabu watafurahia; na jangwa litafurahia na kuchanua. Kama waridi,
2 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.
Yatachanua kwa wingi na yatashangilia kwa furaha na nyimbo; litapewa utukufu wa Lebanoni, mapambo ya Karmeli na Sharoni; watauona utukufu wa Yahwe, mapambo ya Mungu wetu.
3 Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.
Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, na badala ya magoti yanayotingishika.
4 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.
Waambie wenye moyo wa uwoga, ''Wawe imara, wasiogope! Tazama, Mungu wako anakuja na kisasi, kwa ajili ya malipo ya Mungu. Atakuja na kutuokoa.''
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;
Halafu macho ya vipofu yataona, na masikio ya viziwi yatasikia.
6 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.
Halafu kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, na ulimi wa bubu utaimba, maana maji yatabubujika Araba, na mifereji jangwani.
7 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.
Mchanga ulioungua utakuwa kisima, na aridhi iliyo na kiu itakua chemchem; katika makazi mbweha, pale waliopokuwa wanaishi, kutakuwa na nyasi pamoja na mianzi.
8 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].
Barabara kuu itaitwa Njia takatifu. Wasio safi hawatasifiri kwa kutumia njia hiyo. Lakini itakuwa kwa ajili ya mtu yeyote anayetembea juu yake. Hakuna mjinga atakayeipitia.
9 No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].
Hakuna simba pale, wala mnyama mkali katika barabara hiyo; hawatakuwepo kabisa pale, lakini waliokombolewa watapita pale.
10 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.
Fidia ya Yahwe itarudi na itakuja kwa wimbo wa Sayuni, na furaha ya milele itakuwa katika vichwa vyao; furaha na shangwe vitawazidi wao; huzuni na magonjwa yataondoshwa mbali.
