< Isaia 35 >
1 E OLIOLI auanei ka waonahele, a me kahi maloo no ia mau mea; E hauoli hoi ka waoakua, a e pua mai hoi, e like me ka lilia.
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.
2 E pua nui no ia, a e hauoli hoi me ka olioli, a me ka hauoli; E haawiia'ku ka nani o Lebanona ia ia, A me ka maikai o Karemela, a me Sarona; E ike auanei lakou i ka nani o Iehova, A me ka hanohano o ko kakou Akua.
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see YHWH's glory, the excellence of our God.
3 E hooikaika oukou i na lima nawaliwali, A e hookupaa i na kuli kulanalana.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
4 E olelo aku oukou i ka poe makau o ka naau, I nui ka ikaika, mai makau oukou; Aia hoi ko oukou Akua! E hele mai no ia e hoopai, o ke Akua hoi me ka hoouku; E hele mai no oia, a e hoola ia oukou.
Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.
5 Alaila, e hookaakaaia na maka o ka poe makapo, A e hoohakahakaia na pepeiao o ka poe kuli.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6 Alaila, e lelele no ka oopa me he dia la, A e oli hoi ke alelo o ka leo paa: No ka mea, e puka mai no ka wai ma ka waonahele, A me na muliwai hoi ma ka waoakua.
Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 E lilo no ka lepo olinolino i waiauau, A me kahi maloo, i waipuna; Ma ka hale o ka ilio hihiu, kahi ana i moe ai, He wahi ia no ka ohe, a me ke kome.
The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
8 A malaila no ke kuamoo, he alanui hoi, A e kapaia no ia, Ke alanui o ka pono. Aole hele malaila ka mea haumia; E hele pu no oia me lakou ma ke ala, Aole lalau ka poe naaupo malaila.
And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
9 Aole liona ma ia wahi, Aole pii aku malaila kekahi holoholona hae, Aole e loaa ia ma ia wahi; Aka, malaila no e hele ai ka poe i hoolapanaiia.
No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
10 A e hoi mai no ko Iehova poe i kuai hoolaia, E hele mai no lakou i Ziona me ke oli, A me ka hauoli mau maluna o ko lakou mau poo; E loaa no ia lakou ka olioli, a me ka hauoli, A e auhee aku no ke kaumaha, a me ke kaniuhu.
YHWH's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
