Ezayi 35
1 Savann nan ak dezè a va kontan. Tè dezole a va rejwi e flèri, tankou yon woz.
The waste land and the dry places will be glad; the lowland will have joy and be full of flowers.
2 Li va fleri anpil, rejwi ak kè kontan, e fè yon kri lajwa. Glwa Liban an va bay a li menm; majeste a Carmen ak Saron an. Yo va wè glwa SENYÈ a, majeste a Bondye nou an.
It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.
3 Ankouraje men ki pedi fòs, e ranfòse jenou ki fèb la.
Make strong the feeble hands, give support to the shaking knees.
4 Pale a sila ki gen kè twouble yo, “Pran kouraj! Pa pè! Gade byen, Bondye nou an va vini ak vanjans. Rekonpans Li an va rive. Li va vini, e Li va sove nou.”
Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.
5 Konsa, zye avèg yo va louvri, e zòrèy a soud yo debouche.
Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears which are stopped will be open.
6 Moun bwate yo va vòltije tankou sèf, e lang bèbè a va rele ak gwo jwa. Paske dlo va pete nan tè sèch yo, ak vwa dlo yo nan dezè a.
Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.
7 Peyi deseche a va vin tounen yon letan, e tè swaf kòn sous k ap pete dlo. Nan landwa chen mawon yo, nan kote yo poze a, va gen zèb ak wozo ak jon.
And the burning sand will become a pool, and the dry earth springs of waters: the fields where the sheep take their food will become wet land, and water-plants will take the place of grass.
8 Yon gran chemen va la, yon gran ri. Li va rele Chemen Sen an. Sila ki pa pwòp p ap vwayaje sou li, men li va sèvi pou sila ki mache nan Chemen an. Moun mechan ak enpridan an pa p mache la.
And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.
9 Nanpwen lyon k ap la, ni p ap gen bèt sovaj k ap mache sou li. Yo p ap twouve la. Men rachte yo va mache la.
No lion will be there, or any cruel beast; they will not be seen there; but those for whom the Lord has given a price,
10 Rachte a SENYÈ yo va retounen. Ya vini ak gwo kri lajwa lantre nan Sion; lajwa ki p ap janm fini ap sou tèt yo. Yo va twouve kè kontan ak lajwa; tristès ak soupi va sove ale.
Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
