Ezayi 35
1 Dezè ak tè sèk pral kontan yon sèl kontan. Savann yo pral kontan tou, yo pral fleri.
[Some day, it will be as though] the desert [and other very] dry areas are glad [DOU]; the desert will rejoice and flowers will blossom. Like crocuses/daffodils,
2 Dezè pral kouvri ak flè, yo pral fè fèt. Yo pral chante. Yo pral gen gwo pyebwa tankou mòn Liban. Yo pral plen bèl pyebwa tankou mòn Kamèl ak mòn Sawon. Tout moun va wè gwo pouvwa Seyè a. Y'a wè bèl bagay Bondye nou an fè.
the desert will produce flowers abundantly; [it will be as though] everything is rejoicing and singing! The deserts will become as beautiful as [SIM] [the trees in] Lebanon, as fertile [SIM] as the plains of the Sharon and Carmel [areas]. [There] people will see the glory of Yahweh; they will see that he is magnificent.
3 Ankouraje moun ki febli yo! Soutni moun ki gen jenou yo ap tranble!
[So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
4 Pale ak moun ki dekouraje yo. Di yo konsa: Pran kouraj! Pa pè! Men Bondye nou an ap vini! Li pral tire revanj sou lènmi nou yo, li pral fè yo peye sa yo fè. Se limenm menm ki pral fè sa pou l' ka delivre nou.
Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong and do not be afraid, because our God is going to come to get revenge [on his enemies]; he will (pay them back/punish them) for what they have done, and he will rescue you.”
5 Je avèg yo pral louvri. Zòrèy moun soudè yo pral debouche.
When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
6 Moun enfim nan pye yo pral sote ponpe tankou kabrit. Lang bèbè yo pral lage. Yo pral chante. Sous dlo pral pete toupatou nan tout dezè. Dlo pral koule nan tout savann.
Lame people will leap like deer, and those who have been unable to speak will sing joyfully. Water will gush out [from springs] in the desert; streams will flow in the desert.
7 Kote sab la te cho a pral tounen yon letan. Tè sèk yo pral plen sous dlo. Kote chen mawon te konn rete a se la wozo ak jon pral pouse an kantite.
The very dry ground will become a pool of water, and springs will provide water for the dry land. Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow in places where the jackals/wolves lived previously.
8 Pral gen yon bèl wout pase la. Y'ap rele l': Wout Bondye a! Moun k'ap fè sa ki mal p'ap pase nan wout sa a. Se va sèlman pou moun ki mache dwat yo. Wi, pou yo ase. Ankenn bakoulou p'ap ka detounen moun k'ap swiv chemen sa a.
And there will be a highway through that land; it will be called ‘the Holy Highway’. People who are not acceptable to God will not walk on that road; it will be only for those who conduct their lives as God wants them to; foolish people will become lost while walking on that road.
9 P'ap gen lyon sou wout sa a. P'ap gen bèt bwa k'ap pase la. Se moun Seyè a delivre ase ki pral vwayaje sou li. P'ap gen lòt moun ankò!
There will not be any lions there or any other dangerous animals along that road. Only those who have been freed [from being slaves in Babylonia] will walk on it.
10 Moun Seyè a te delivre yo pral tounen. Y'ap rive lavil Siyon ak chante nan bouch yo, ak kè kontan make sou figi yo. Tout moun pral kontan, yo pral fè fèt. Moun p'ap nan lapenn. Ou p'ap tande plenyen ankò!
Those whom Yahweh has freed will return to Jerusalem; they will sing as they enter the city; they will be extremely joyful [MET, PRS] forever. No longer will they be sad or mourn; they will be [completely] joyful [DOU].
