Isaiah 35
1 They rejoice from the wilderness and dry place, And the desert rejoices, And flourishes as the rose,
Gammoojjii fi lafti gogaan ni gammadu; lafti onaan ni ililcha; ni daraaras. Akka arfaasee,
2 Flourishing it flourishes, and rejoices, Indeed, [with] joy and singing, The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They see the glory of YHWH, The majesty of our God.
baayʼinaan daraara; akka malee gammadees ililcha. Ulfinni Libaanoon, surraan Qarmeloosii fi Shaaroon ni kennamaaf; isaan ulfina Waaqayyoo, surraa Waaqa keenyaas ni argu.
3 Strengthen the feeble hands, Indeed, strengthen the stumbling knees.
Harka dadhabe jajjabeessaa; jilba laafes cimsaa;
4 Say to the hurried of heart, “Be strong, Do not fear, behold, your God; vengeance comes, The repayment of God, He Himself comes and saves you.”
warra garaan isaanii sodaatuun akkana jedhaa: “Jabaadhaa; hin sodaatinaa; Waaqni keessan ni dhufa; inni haaloo baasuuf dhufa; gatii malu qabatee isin oolchuuf ni dhufa.”
5 Then eyes of the blind are opened, And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
Ergasii iji nama jaamaa ni banama; gurri nama duudaas ni dhagaʼa.
6 Then the lame leap as a deer, And the tongue of the mute sings, For waters have been broken up in a wilderness, And streams in a desert.
Gaafas namni naafti akkuma gadamsaa utaala; arrabni hidhamaanis gammachuudhaan faarfata. Bishaan gammoojjii keessaa, burqaanis gammoojjii keessaa cabsee baʼa.
7 And the mirage has become a pond, And the thirsty land—fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of lying down, A court for reed and rush.
Lafti nama gubu haroo, lafti gogaan immoo burqaa bishaanii taʼa. Boolla duraan waangoonni keessa ciisan irratti marga, shambaqqoo fi dhallaadduutu biqila.
8 And a highway has been there, and a way, And it is called the “Way of Holiness.” The unclean do not pass over it, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoever is going in the way—even fools do not err.
Karaan guddaan tokko achi ni jiraata; innis, Karaa Qulqullinaa jedhamee waamama; inni warra Karaa sana irra deemaniif taʼa. “Xuraaʼonni” isa irra hin deeman; gowwoonni achiinuu hin baʼan.
9 No lion is there, Indeed, a destructive beast does not ascend it, It is not found there, And the redeemed have walked,
Leenci achitti hin argamu; yookaan bineensi hamaan achi irra hin baʼu; isaan achitti hin argaman. Garuu warra furaman qofatu achi irra deema;
10 And the ransomed of YHWH return, And have entered Zion with singing, And [with] continuous joy on their head, They attain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing have fled away!
warri Waaqayyo isaan fure ni deebiʼu. Isaan faarfannaadhaan Xiyoon seenu; gammachuun bara baraa mataa isaanii irra jiraata. Isaan gammachuu fi ililleedhaan guutamu; gaddii fi booʼichi isaan irraa fagaatu.
