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,
Agragsakto ti let-ang ken ti Araba; ken agrag-onto ti disierto ken agsabongto a kas iti rosas.
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.
Agsabongto daytoy iti nawadwad ken agrag-o nga addaan ragsak ken panagkankanta; maitedto iti daytoy ti dayag ti Lebanon, ti kinadayag ti Carmel ken Saron; makitadanto ti dayag ni Yahweh, ti kinadayag ti Diostayo.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
Papigsaenyo dagiti nakapuy nga im-ima, ken patibkerenyo dagiti tumeng nga agtkutkutukot.
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.”
Ibagayo kadagiti addaan iti managbuteng a puso, “Bumilegkayo, saankayo nga agbuteng! Kitaenyo, umayto ti Diosyo nga addaan panagibales, nga adaan iti panangsupapak ti Dios. Umayto isuna ket isalakannakayo.
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Ket makakitanto dagiti mata dagiti bulsek, ken makangngegto dagiti lapayag dagiti tuleng.
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.
Ket aglagtonto ti pilay a kas iti maysa nga ugsa, ken agkantanto ti umel, ta agubbog ti danum manipud iti Araba, ken agayusto iti let-ang.
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.
Agbalinto a dan-aw ti dumardarang a darat, ken ub-ubbog ti danum ti mawaw a daga; iti pagnanaedan dagiti atap nga aso, a nagiddaanda, agtubonto ti ruot kasta met dagiti runo ken tanubong.
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.
Addanto sadiay ti maysa a kalsada a maawagan iti Ti Nasantoan a Dalan. Saanto nga agdaliasat sadiay dagiti saan a nadalus. Ngem daytoy ket para kenkuana nga agbibiag a nasantoan. Awanto ti maag a magna sadiay.
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.
Awanto ti leon sadiay, awanto ti narungsot nga ayup a magna sadiay; saanto a masarakan dagitoy sadiay, ngem ti nasubbot ti magnanto sadiay.
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].
Dagiti sinubbot ni Yahweh ket agsublinto ken umayto nga agkankanta iti Sion, ken addanto kadakuada ti agnanayon a ragsak; kamakamento ida ti ragsak ken rag-o; agtalawto ti panagladingit ken panagsennaay.
