Isaiah 35
1 The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily.
Jangwa na Arabu watafurahia; na jangwa litafurahia na kuchanua. Kama waridi,
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.
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 ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees.
Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, na badala ya magoti yanayotingishika.
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.
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 shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall 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 shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness.
Halafu kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, na ulimi wa bubu utaimba, maana maji yatabubujika Araba, na mifereji jangwani.
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.
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 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.
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 any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered.
Hakuna simba pale, wala mnyama mkali katika barabara hiyo; hawatakuwepo kabisa pale, lakini waliokombolewa watapita pale.
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.
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.
