< Isaiah 35 >
1 The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
Savann nan ak dezè a va kontan. Tè dezole a va rejwi e flèri, tankou yon woz.
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and exult with joy and singing; The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it; The beauty of Carmel and Sharon; They shall behold the glory of Jehovah, The majesty of our God;
Li va fleri anpil, rejwi ak kè kontan, e fè yon kri lajwa. Glwa Liban an va bay a li menm; majeste a Carmen ak Saron an. Yo va wè glwa SENYÈ a, majeste a Bondye nou an.
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
Ankouraje men ki pedi fòs, e ranfòse jenou ki fèb la.
4 Say ye to the faint-hearted, “Be ye strong; fear ye not; Behold your God! Vengeance cometh, the retribution of God; He will come and save you!”
Pale a sila ki gen kè twouble yo, “Pran kouraj! Pa pè! Gade byen, Bondye nou an va vini ak vanjans. Rekonpans Li an va rive. Li va vini, e Li va sove nou.”
5 Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
Konsa, zye avèg yo va louvri, e zòrèy a soud yo debouche.
6 Then shall the lame leap like the hart, And the tongue of the dumb shall sing; For in the wilderness shall waters break forth, And streams in the desert.
Moun bwate yo va vòltije tankou sèf, e lang bèbè a va rele ak gwo jwa. Paske dlo va pete nan tè sèch yo, ak vwa dlo yo nan dezè a.
7 The glowing sands shall become a pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where they lie, Shall be a place for reeds and rushes.
Peyi deseche a va vin tounen yon letan, e tè swaf kòn sous k ap pete dlo. Nan landwa chen mawon yo, nan kote yo poze a, va gen zèb ak wozo ak jon.
8 And a path shall be there, and a highway, And it shall be called the holy way; No unclean person shall pass over it; it shall be for them alone; He that therein goeth in this way, though a fool, shall not err therein.
Yon gran chemen va la, yon gran ri. Li va rele Chemen Sen an. Sila ki pa pwòp p ap vwayaje sou li, men li va sèvi pou sila ki mache nan Chemen an. Moun mechan ak enpridan an pa p mache la.
9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; It shall not be found there; But the redeemed shall walk there.
Nanpwen lyon k ap la, ni p ap gen bèt sovaj k ap mache sou li. Yo p ap twouve la. Men rachte yo va mache la.
10 Yea, the ransomed of Jehovah shall return; They shall come to Zion with songs: Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Rachte a SENYÈ yo va retounen. Ya vini ak gwo kri lajwa lantre nan Sion; lajwa ki p ap janm fini ap sou tèt yo. Yo va twouve kè kontan ak lajwa; tristès ak soupi va sove ale.
