Isaiah 35
1 [Some day, it will be as though] the desert [and other very] dry areas are glad [DOU]; the desert will rejoice and flowers will blossom. Like crocuses/daffodils,
E OLIOLI auanei ka waonahele, a me kahi maloo no ia mau mea; E hauoli hoi ka waoakua, a e pua mai hoi, e like me ka lilia.
2 the desert will produce flowers abundantly; [it will be as though] everything is rejoicing and singing! The deserts will become as beautiful as [SIM] [the trees in] Lebanon, as fertile [SIM] as the plains of the Sharon and Carmel [areas]. [There] people will see the glory of Yahweh; they will see that he is magnificent.
E pua nui no ia, a e hauoli hoi me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli; E haawiia'ku ka nani o Lebanona ia ia, A me ka maikai o Karemela, a me Sarona; E ike auanei lakou i ka nani o Iehova, A me ka hanohano o ko kakou Akua.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
E hooikaika oukou i na lima nawaliwali, A e hookupaa i na kuli kulanalana.
4 Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong and do not be afraid, because our God is going to come to get revenge [on his enemies]; he will (pay them back/punish them) for what they have done, and he will rescue you.”
E olelo aku oukou i ka poe makau o ka naau, I nui ka ikaika, mai makau oukou; Aia hoi ko oukou Akua! E hele mai no ia e hoopai, o ke Akua hoi me ka hoouku; E hele mai no oia, a e hoola ia oukou.
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Alaila, e hookaakaaia na maka o ka poe makapo, A e hoohakahakaia na pepeiao o ka poe kuli.
6 Lame people will leap like deer, and those who have been unable to speak will sing joyfully. Water will gush out [from springs] in the desert; streams will flow in the desert.
Alaila, e lelele no ka oopa me he dia la, A e oli hoi ke alelo o ka leo paa: No ka mea, e puka mai no ka wai ma ka waonahele, A me na muliwai hoi ma ka waoakua.
7 The very dry ground will become a pool of water, and springs will provide water for the dry land. Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow in places where the jackals/wolves lived previously.
E lilo no ka lepo olinolino i waiauau, A me kahi maloo, i waipuna; Ma ka hale o ka ilio hihiu, kahi ana i moe ai, He wahi ia no ka ohe, a me ke kome.
8 And there will be a highway through that land; it will be called ‘the Holy Highway’. People who are not acceptable to God will not walk on that road; it will be only for those who conduct their lives as God wants them to; foolish people will become lost while walking on that road.
A malaila no ke kuamoo, he alanui hoi, A e kapaia no ia, Ke alanui o ka pono. Aole hele malaila ka mea haumia; E hele pu no oia me lakou ma ke ala, Aole lalau ka poe naaupo malaila.
9 There will not be any lions there or any other dangerous animals along that road. Only those who have been freed [from being slaves in Babylonia] will walk on it.
Aole liona ma ia wahi, Aole pii aku malaila kekahi holoholona hae, Aole e loaa ia ma ia wahi; Aka, malaila no e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia.
10 Those whom Yahweh has freed will return to Jerusalem; they will sing as they enter the city; they will be extremely joyful [MET, PRS] forever. No longer will they be sad or mourn; they will be [completely] joyful [DOU].
A e hoi mai no ko Iehova poe i kuai hoolaia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli, A me ka hauoli mau maluna o ko lakou mau poo; E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e auhee aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
