Yesaya 35
1 Gbegbe kple anyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla la akpɔ dzidzɔ. Gbedadaƒo atso aseye ahaƒo se abe dzogbenya ene,
The desolate and impassable land will rejoice, and the place of solitude will exult, and it will flourish like the lily.
2 aƒo se, atso aseye, eye wòado dzidzɔɣli. Woagbugbɔ Lebanon ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe nɛ, Karmel ƒe lãnyiƒe kple Saron ƒe gbe dama ƒe atsyɔ̃ agatrɔ ava na wo, eye woakpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple míaƒe Mawu la ƒe atsyɔ̃.
It will spring up and blossom, and it will exult with rejoicing and praising. The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, with the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. These will see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
3 Do ŋusẽ asi beliwo, eye nàli ke klo siwo le ƒoƒom la;
Strengthen the lax hands, and confirm the weak knees!
4 migblɔ na ame siwo ƒe dzi le vɔvɔ̃m be, “Misẽ ŋu, migavɔ̃ o. Miaƒe Mawu la gbɔna. Ava kple hlɔ̃biabia kple teƒeɖoɖo, eye wòaɖe mi.”
Say to the fainthearted: “Take courage and fear not! Behold, your God will bring the vindication of retribution. God himself will arrive to save you.”
5 Ekema ŋkugbagbãtɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo aʋu, eye tokunɔwo ƒe towo aʋu.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be cleared.
6 Tekunɔ ati kpo abe zi ene, eye aɖetututɔ ado dzidzɔɣli, Tɔsisi aŋɔ ɖe gbegbe, eye tɔʋuwo asi tso gbedadaƒo.
Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.
7 Blezibleziteƒewo atrɔ azu tsita eye anyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla la agbɔ agbe kple tometsi. Teƒe siwo nye amegaxiwo nɔƒe tsã la atrɔ azu lãnyiƒe azɔ, eye aƒlawo kple ati si ƒe aŋgbawo dzi woŋlɔa nu ɖo tsã la amie ɖe afi ma.
And the land that was dry will have a pond, and the thirsty land will have fountains of water. In the hollows where the serpents lived before, there will rise up the greenery of reed and bulrush.
8 Mɔtata gbadza aɖe anɔ afi ma. Woayɔe be kɔkɔenyenye ƒe mɔ. Ame makɔmakɔwo mazɔ mɔ sia dzi o. Anye toƒe na ame siwo zɔna le mɔ ma dzi. Gegemewo gɔ̃ hã matra le edzi o.
And there shall be a path and a road in that place. And it will be called the Holy Way. The defiled will not pass through it. For this will be an upright path for you, so much so that the foolish will not wander along it.
9 Dzata alo lã wɔadã aɖeke mazɔ afi ma o. Womakpɔ wo dometɔ aɖeke le afi ma o. Ke ame siwo woɖe la koe azɔ afi ma.
There will be no lions in that place, and harmful wild animals will neither climb up to it, nor be found there. Only those who have been freed will walk in that place.
10 Ame siwo Yehowa xɔ ƒle la koe atrɔ gbɔ. Woatsɔ hadzidzi age ɖe Zion; woatsɔ dzidzɔ mavɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ na woƒe tawo. Dzidzɔ kple aseyetsotso adze wo ŋgɔ, eye nuxaxa kple hũɖeɖe maganɔ anyi o.
And the redeemed of the Lord will be converted, and they will return to Zion with praising. And everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and rejoicing. For pain and sorrow will flee away.
