< Isaiah 35 >
1 They will rejoice! [the] wilderness and [the] dry region and let it be glad [the] desert plain so it may bud like a crocus.
Jangwa na nchi kame vitafurahi; nyika itashangilia na kuchanua maua. Kama waridi,
2 Completely it will bud and let it be glad also gladness and shouting for joy [the] glory of Lebanon it will be given to it [the] splendor of Carmel and Sharon they they will see [the] glory of Yahweh [the] splendor of God our.
litachanua maua, litashangilia sana na kupaza sauti kwa furaha. Litapewa utukufu wa Lebanoni, fahari ya Karmeli na Sharoni; wataona utukufu wa Bwana, fahari ya Mungu wetu.
3 Strengthen hands slack and knees stumbling make firm.
Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, yafanyeni imara magoti yaliyolegea,
4 Say to [people] hasty of heart be strong may not you be afraid here! God your vengeance he will come [the] recompense of God he he will come and he may deliver you.
waambieni wale wenye mioyo ya hofu, “Kuweni hodari, msiogope; tazama, Mungu wenu atakuja, pamoja na malipo ya Mungu, atakuja na kuwaokoa ninyi.”
5 Then they will be opened [the] eyes of blind [people] and [the] ears of deaf [people] they will be unstopped.
Ndipo macho ya vipofu yatafumbuliwa na masikio ya viziwi yatazibuliwa.
6 Then he will leap like deer a lame [person] so it may shout for joy [the] tongue of a dumb [person] for they will burst forth in the wilderness waters and torrents in the desert plain.
Ndipo kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, nao ulimi wa aliye bubu utapaza sauti kwa shangwe. Maji yatatiririka kwa kasi katika nyika, na vijito katika jangwa.
7 And it will become the parched ground a pool and thirsty ground springs of water in a habitation of jackals resting place its herbage reed[s] and papyrus.
Mchanga wa moto utakuwa bwawa la maji, ardhi yenye kiu itabubujika chemchemi. Maskani ya mbweha walikolala hapo awali patamea majani, matete na mafunjo.
8 And it will be there a highway and a way and [the] way of holiness it will be called to it not he will pass along it [the] unclean and it [will belong] to them [one who] walks a way and fools not they will wander about.
Nako kutakuwa na njia kuu, nayo itaitwa Njia ya Utakatifu. Wasio safi hawatapita juu yake; itakuwa ya wale watembeao katika Njia ile; yeye asafiriye juu yake, ajapokuwa mjinga, hatapotea.
9 Not it will be there a lion and a violent one of living creatures not it will go up on it not it will be found there and they will walk redeemed [people].
Huko hakutakuwepo na simba, wala mnyama mkali hatapita njia hiyo, wala hawatapatikana humo. Ila waliokombolewa tu ndio watakaopita huko,
10 And [the] [people] ransomed of Yahweh they will return! and they will come Zion with a shout of joy and gladness of perpetuity [will be] on head their joy and gladness they will overtake [them] and they will flee sorrow and sighing.
waliokombolewa na Bwana watarudi. Wataingia Sayuni wakiimba; furaha ya milele itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao. Watapata furaha na shangwe; huzuni na majonzi vitakimbia.
