< Isaiah 35 >
1 The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily.
Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọzara na ala kpọrọ nkụ ga-enwe obi ụtọ; okoko osisi mara mma ga-awapụtakwa nʼọzara. Dịka rozu,
2 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.
ọ ga-agbawa ifuru jupụta; ọ ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, tiekwa mkpu ọṅụ. A ga-enye ya nsọpụrụ nke ugwu Lebanọn, nyekwa ya ịma mma nke ala ubi Sharọn na Kamel. Ha ga-ahụ ebube Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ, ha ga-ahụkwa ịdị ukwuu nke Chineke anyị.
3 Strengthen ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees.
Meenụ ka aka ndị ahụ kụdara akụda dịkwa ike, gbaakwanụ ụkwụ ndị ahụ na-asọ ngọngọ ume.
4 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.
Gwanụ ndị ahụ na-atụ egwu sị ha, “Dịrịnụ ike, unu atụla egwu, nʼihi na Chineke unu na-abịa. Ọ ga-abịa ịbọtara unu ọbọ, ịkwụghachi ndị iro unu ihe ruuru ha. Ọ ga-abịa ịzọpụta unu.”
5 Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-emeghe anya ndị kpuru ìsì, meekwa ka ndị ntị chiri nụ ihe.
6 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.
Ọ ga-eme ka onye ngwụrọ wulie elu dịka ele, meekwa ka ndị na-adịghị ekwu okwu tie mkpu ọṅụ. Mmiri ga-agbawapụta sọọ nʼọzara, mmiri iyi ga-ejupụtakwa nʼala kpọrọ nkụ.
7 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.
Elu ala ahụ na-ere ọkụ nʼụkwụ ga-aghọ ọdọ mmiri. Ala ahụ nke mmiri kọrọ ga-aghọ isi iyi nke mmiri ga-ejupụta. Ebe ahụ nkịta ọhịa naara ebi ga-aghọ ala mmiri mmiri; ahịhịa, na ahịhịa riidi, na ahịhịa papịrọs, ga-epupụta nʼime ya.
8 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.
Okporoụzọ ga-adịkwa nʼebe ahụ, nke a ga-akpọ, Okporoụzọ Ịdị Nsọ, Ọ ga-adịrị naanị ndị ahụ na-agbaso Ụzọ ahụ. Ndị na-adịghị ọcha agaghị eje ije nʼelu ya, ndị nzuzu ajọ omume agaghị ejegharị nʼelu ya.
9 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.
Ọdụm agaghị anọ nso ụzọ ahụ. Ọ dịkwaghị anụ ọhịa na-egbu mmadụ ga-aga nʼelu ya. E, agaghị ahụ anụ dị otu a nʼebe ahụ. Kama, ọ bụ naanị ndị a gbapụtara ga-eje ije na ya.
10 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.
Ma ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara ga-alọtakwa. Ha ga-eji abụ bata na Zayọn; ọṅụ na-adịgide ga-adịkwasị nʼisi ha. Oke ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼobi ha. Iru ụjụ na ịsụ ude ga-efelaga.
