Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and dry land will celebrate; the desert will blossom like the crocus.
Praezaek hoi long kasae loe anghoe tih; kapong sut long mah doeh anghoe ueloe, rose pawk baktiah apawk tih.
2 Bloom profusely, celebrate and sing! The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God.
Pop parai ah apawk to ampha ueloe, anghoehaih, oephaih hoiah laa to sah o tih; Lebanon lensawkhaih, Karmel hoi Sharon hoihhaih to anih khaeah paek tih; Angraeng lensawkhaih hoi aicae Sithaw hoihhaih to nihcae mah hnu o tih.
3 Make the weak hands strong, and make the trembling knees firm!
Bantha zokhaih to tha om o sak ah loe, thacak ai khokkhu to thacak o sak ah.
4 Tell those who are frightened, “Be strong! Don't be afraid! Look, your God is coming to punish his enemies, with divine retribution he will come to save you.”
Zithaih palungthin tawn kaminawk hanah, Thacak oh, zii o hmah, tiah thui pae oh; khenah, na Sithaw loe sak ih zaehaih baktih toengah, lu lak hanah angzo tih; anih loe nang to pahlong hanah angzo tih boeh.
5 When that happens, the blind will see, and the deaf will hear.
To pacoengah loe mikmaengnawk mik padai o tih, naapang kaminawk doeh naa akhaw o tih boeh.
6 The lame will jump like a deer, and the dumb will sing for joy. Springs will gush in the wilderness; streams will flow in the desert.
Khokkhaem kaminawk loe sakhi baktiah angphet o tih, lokaa mah doeh laa to sah tih boeh; praezaek ah tui to puek ueloe, long karoem ahmuen ah tui to long tih boeh.
7 The dried-up ground will become like a pool, the arid land like water springs. In the place where jackals used to live, there will be grass and reeds and rushes.
Hmai ah kamngaeh savuet to tuili ah angcoeng ueloe, tui anghae long ah tui to puek tih boeh; tasuinawk ohhaih hoi tabokhaih ahmuen ah phroh, sakrungkung hoi rihkung baktiah kaom akungnawk to amprawk o tih.
8 There will be a highway there, a road called “The Way of Holiness.” Nobody bad will travel on it, only those who follow the Way. Fools will not go there.
To ah manglaih lampui to om ueloe, Ciimcai Loklam, tiah kawkhaih to om tih; kaciim ai kami loe to lampui to pazui mak ai; minawk kalah hanah ni oh, to loklam ah loe amthu kami mataeng mah doeh lam amkhraeng mak ai.
9 No lions or other dangerous animals will be found there on the road—only the redeemed will walk along it.
To ah kaipui om mak ai, moisannawk doeh to loklam ah caeh o mak ai, hnuk han mataeng doeh om mak ai; toe akrang ih kaminawk khue ni to ah caeh o tih.
10 Those the Lord has set free will return, singing as they enter Jerusalem, wearing crowns of everlasting joy. They are overcome with thankfulness and happiness; sorrow and sadness simply disappear.
Angraeng mah akrang ih kaminawk loe amlaem o let ueloe, laa to sah o tih, dungzan anghoehaih lumuek angmuek hoiah Zion ah angzo o tih; nihcae mah anghoehaih hoi oephaih to hnu o tih, palungset khuiqahhaih to om mak ai boeh.
