Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; 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 singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and 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 all of you the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, na badala ya magoti yanayotingishika.
4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come 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 shall be unstopped.
Halafu macho ya vipofu yataona, na masikio ya viziwi yatasikia.
6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Halafu kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, na ulimi wa bubu utaimba, maana maji yatabubujika Araba, na mifereji jangwani.
7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, 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 an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the travelling men, though fools, shall not go astray 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 any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not 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 the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, 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.
