< Isaia 35 >

1 Atĩrĩ, werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ na bũrũri ũrĩa mũũmũ nĩigakena; werũ nĩũgakena na ũcanũke. O ta mahũa ma nyeki-inĩ,
The wilderness and the land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2 werũ nĩũkaruta kĩro kĩingĩ; nĩũgakena mũno, na wanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena. Nĩũkaheo riiri o ta wa Lebanoni, na ũheo ũkengi o ta wa Karimeli, na wa Sharoni; nĩmakona riiri wa Jehova, na mone ũkengi wa Ngai witũ.
It will bloom profusely 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 the LORD, the splendor of our God.
3 Ĩkĩrai hinya moko marĩa maregeru, na maru marĩa maregerete mũtũme marũgame wega;
Strengthen the limp hands and steady the feeble knees!
4 andũ arĩa marĩ na guoya ngoro meerei atĩrĩ, “Mwĩyũmĩrĩriei, tigai gwĩtigĩra; atĩrĩ, Ngai wanyu nĩagooka, na agooka na ũhoro wa kũrĩhanĩria; nĩwe ũgooka na iherithia rĩa Ngai, ooke kũmũhonokia.”
Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.”
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo maitho ma atumumu nĩmakahingũka, na matũ ma andũ arĩa mataiguaga macooke kũigua.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũndũ ũrĩa ũthuaga nĩakarũgarũga ta thwariga, na rũrĩmĩ rũrĩa rũtaaragia rwanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena. Namo maaĩ nĩmagatherũka kuuma werũ-inĩ, natuo tũrũũĩ tũtherere werũ-inĩ wa mũthanga.
Then the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy. For waters will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 Mũthanga ũrĩa mũhiũ ũgaatuĩka karia ka maaĩ, nayo thĩ ĩyo ngʼaru ĩtherũke ithima cia maaĩ. Imamo iria cianakomwo nĩ mbwe-rĩ, igaakũra nyeki, na ithanjĩ, o na marura.
The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.
8 Nakuo kũu nĩgũkagĩa barabara njariĩ; nayo ĩgeetagwo Njĩra ĩrĩa Nyamũre. Andũ arĩa matarĩ atheru matikamĩgera; ĩgaakorwo ĩrĩ Njĩra ya andũ arĩa mamĩgeraga; nĩ ũndũ ũcio o na andũ akĩĩgu matikamĩhĩtia.
And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it.
9 Gũtirĩ mũrũũthi ũgaakorwo njĩra-inĩ ĩyo, o na kana nyamũ o yothe ndĩani ĩmĩgerere; nyamũ icio itikoonekana njĩra-inĩ ĩyo. No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa makũũrĩtwo nĩo oiki makaamĩgerera,
No lion will be there, and no vicious beast will go up on it. Such will not be found there, but the redeemed will walk upon it.
10 nao andũ arĩa akũũre a Jehova nĩmagacooka. Magaatoonya Zayuni makĩinaga; nao nĩmageekĩrwo thũmbĩ ya gĩkeno gĩa tene na tene. Magaakena na macanjamũke, nakĩo kĩeha o na mũcaayo nĩigathira biũ.
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
