Yesaya 35
1 Gbegbe kple anyigba si ƒu kplakplakpla la akpɔ dzidzɔ. Gbedadaƒo atso aseye ahaƒo se abe dzogbenya ene,
They rejoice from the wilderness and dry place, And the desert rejoices, And flourishes as the rose,
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.
Flourishing it flourishes, and rejoices, Indeed, [with] joy and singing, The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They see the glory of YHWH, The majesty of our God.
3 Do ŋusẽ asi beliwo, eye nàli ke klo siwo le ƒoƒom la;
Strengthen the feeble hands, Indeed, strengthen the stumbling 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 hurried of heart, “Be strong, Do not fear, behold, your God; vengeance comes, The repayment of God, He Himself comes and saves you.”
5 Ekema ŋkugbagbãtɔwo ƒe ŋkuwo aʋu, eye tokunɔwo ƒe towo aʋu.
Then eyes of the blind are opened, And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
6 Tekunɔ ati kpo abe zi ene, eye aɖetututɔ ado dzidzɔɣli, Tɔsisi aŋɔ ɖe gbegbe, eye tɔʋuwo asi tso gbedadaƒo.
Then the lame leap as a deer, And the tongue of the mute sings, For waters have been broken up in a wilderness, And streams in a desert.
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 mirage has become a pond, And the thirsty land—fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of lying down, A court for reed and rush.
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 a highway has been there, and a way, And it is called the “Way of Holiness.” The unclean do not pass over it, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoever is going in the way—even fools do not err.
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.
No lion is there, Indeed, a destructive beast does not ascend it, It is not found there, And the redeemed have walked,
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 ransomed of YHWH return, And have entered Zion with singing, And [with] continuous joy on their head, They attain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing have fled away!
