Esias 35
1 Be glad, you thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.
Jangwa na Arabu watafurahia; na jangwa litafurahia na kuchanua. Kama waridi,
2 And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honor of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of 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 Be strong, you relaxed hands and palsied knees.
Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, na badala ya magoti yanayotingishika.
4 Comfort one another, you faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.
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 hear.
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 stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.
Halafu kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, na ulimi wa bubu utaimba, maana maji yatabubujika Araba, na mifereji jangwani.
7 And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.
Mchanga ulioungua utakuwa kisima, na aridhi iliyo na kiu itakua chemchem; katika makazi mbweha, pale waliopokuwa wanaishi, kutakuwa na nyasi pamoja na mianzi.
8 There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.
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 And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,
Hakuna simba pale, wala mnyama mkali katika barabara hiyo; hawatakuwepo kabisa pale, lakini waliokombolewa watapita pale.
10 and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled 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.
