Ezayi 35

1 Savann nan ak dezè a va kontan. Tè dezole a va rejwi e flèri, tankou yon woz.

Be glad, thou thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

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.

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

3 Ankouraje men ki pedi fòs, e ranfòse jenou ki fèb la.

Be strong, ye relaxed hands and palsied 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.”

Comfort one another, ye fainthearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.

5 Konsa, zye avèg yo va louvri, e zòrèy a soud yo debouche.

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

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 shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.

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 dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

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.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

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.

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,

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.

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.
