< 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 dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the 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 shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.
3 Ĩkĩrai hinya moko marĩa maregeru, na maru marĩa maregerete mũtũme marũgame wega;
Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering 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 them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo maitho ma atumumu nĩmakahingũka, na matũ ma andũ arĩa mataiguaga macooke kũigua.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be 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 shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents 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.
And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
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 a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even fools, — shall not err [therein].
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 shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].
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.
And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
