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,
Hifale ty ratraratra naho ty paipaiñe, hirebeke i vavataney, vaho hitaroke hoe dokonose;
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.
Handrevake re vaho hirañaraña an-drebeke naho sabo; hatolots’aze ty enge’ i Lebanone, ty hafanjàka’ i Karmele naho i Sarone; hahaisake ty enge’ Iehovà iereo, ty volonahen’ Añaharen-tika.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
Haozaro o fitàn-kengeo le hafatraro o ongotse mikoletrao,
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.”
Ano ty hoe o embetse an-trokeo: Manintsiña, ko hembañe! hehe te ho avy t’i Andrianañahare’ areo, aman-tambe naho famalean’ Añahare handrombake.
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Le hibeake ty fihaino’ o goao naho ho sokafeñe ty ravembia’ o gìñeo;
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.
Hitsamboañe hoe hirañe ty kepeke vaho hisabo an-kaehake ty famele’ o moañeo; higoangoañan-drano ty fatrambey naho ty torahañe am-bavatane eo.
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.
Hifotetse ho antara ty tane maike, naho rano manganahana o paipaiñeo, hitiria’ ty vinda o korontsom-panalokeo, vaho handimbe o ahetseo ty tongoahara naho ty sale.
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.
Ho eo ty lalan-gadagadañe, ty fañaveloañe hatao ty hoe ty Lala-Piavahañe, tsy homb’ama’e ty tsy malio; ie ho amo mpañavelo amy lalañey, vaho tsy hihezeñe aze ty dagola.
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.
Tsy ho ama’e ty liona, tsy hanganike ama’e ty biby romotse; tsy ho zoeñe ao iereo, fa ho fañaveloa’ o jinebañeo
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].
le himpoly o vinili’ Iehovào, hipoña-tsabo mb’e Tsione mb’eo; naho hafaleañe tsy modo ty ho añ’ambone’ iareo; Hitendreke firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho hihelañe añe ty hontoke naho ty fiselekaiñañe.
