Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the Arabah will be glad; and the desert will rejoice and blossom. Like the rose,
Gammoojjii fi lafti gogaan ni gammadu; lafti onaan ni ililcha; ni daraaras. Akka arfaasee,
2 it will blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of Yahweh, the splendor of our God.
baayʼinaan daraara; akka malee gammadees ililcha. Ulfinni Libaanoon, surraan Qarmeloosii fi Shaaroon ni kennamaaf; isaan ulfina Waaqayyoo, surraa Waaqa keenyaas ni argu.
3 Strengthen the weak hands, and steady the knees that shake.
Harka dadhabe jajjabeessaa; jilba laafes cimsaa;
4 Say to those with a fearful heart, “Be strong, do not fear! Look, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”
warra garaan isaanii sodaatuun akkana jedhaa: “Jabaadhaa; hin sodaatinaa; Waaqni keessan ni dhufa; inni haaloo baasuuf dhufa; gatii malu qabatee isin oolchuuf ni dhufa.”
5 Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears of the deaf will hear.
Ergasii iji nama jaamaa ni banama; gurri nama duudaas ni dhagaʼa.
6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the mute tongue will sing, for water breaks out in the Arabah, and streams in the wilderness.
Gaafas namni naafti akkuma gadamsaa utaala; arrabni hidhamaanis gammachuudhaan faarfata. Bishaan gammoojjii keessaa, burqaanis gammoojjii keessaa cabsee baʼa.
7 The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the habitation of jackals, where they once lay, will be grass with reeds and rushes.
Lafti nama gubu haroo, lafti gogaan immoo burqaa bishaanii taʼa. Boolla duraan waangoonni keessa ciisan irratti marga, shambaqqoo fi dhallaadduutu biqila.
8 A highway will be there called The Holy Way. The unclean will not travel it. But it will be for him who walks in it. No fool will go on it.
Karaan guddaan tokko achi ni jiraata; innis, Karaa Qulqullinaa jedhamee waamama; inni warra Karaa sana irra deemaniif taʼa. “Xuraaʼonni” isa irra hin deeman; gowwoonni achiinuu hin baʼan.
9 No lion will be there, no ferocious beast will be on it; they will not be found there, but the redeemed will walk there.
Leenci achitti hin argamu; yookaan bineensi hamaan achi irra hin baʼu; isaan achitti hin argaman. Garuu warra furaman qofatu achi irra deema;
10 The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy will be on their heads; gladness and joy will overtake them; sorrow and sighing will flee away.
warri Waaqayyo isaan fure ni deebiʼu. Isaan faarfannaadhaan Xiyoon seenu; gammachuun bara baraa mataa isaanii irra jiraata. Isaan gammachuu fi ililleedhaan guutamu; gaddii fi booʼichi isaan irraa fagaatu.
