Aịzaya 35

1 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ọzara na ala kpọrọ nkụ ga-enwe obi ụtọ; okoko osisi mara mma ga-awapụtakwa nʼọzara. Dịka rozu,

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 ọ ga-agbawa ifuru jupụta; ọ ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu, tiekwa mkpu ọṅụ. A ga-enye ya nsọpụrụ nke ugwu Lebanọn, nyekwa ya ịma mma nke ala ubi Sharọn na Kamel. Ha ga-ahụ ebube Onyenwe anyị nʼebe ahụ, ha ga-ahụkwa ịdị ukwuu nke Chineke anyị.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of the LORD, the excellency of our God.

3 Meenụ ka aka ndị ahụ kụdara akụda dịkwa ike, gbaakwanụ ụkwụ ndị ahụ na-asọ ngọngọ ume.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Gwanụ ndị ahụ na-atụ egwu sị ha, “Dịrịnụ ike, unu atụla egwu, nʼihi na Chineke unu na-abịa. Ọ ga-abịa ịbọtara unu ọbọ, ịkwụghachi ndị iro unu ihe ruuru ha. Ọ ga-abịa ịzọpụta unu.”

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [with] the recompence of God; he will come and save you.

5 Mgbe ọ bịara, ọ ga-emeghe anya ndị kpuru ìsì, meekwa ka ndị ntị chiri nụ ihe.

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

6 Ọ ga-eme ka onye ngwụrọ wulie elu dịka ele, meekwa ka ndị na-adịghị ekwu okwu tie mkpu ọṅụ. Mmiri ga-agbawapụta sọọ nʼọzara, mmiri iyi ga-ejupụtakwa nʼala kpọrọ nkụ.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 Elu ala ahụ na-ere ọkụ nʼụkwụ ga-aghọ ọdọ mmiri. Ala ahụ nke mmiri kọrọ ga-aghọ isi iyi nke mmiri ga-ejupụta. Ebe ahụ nkịta ọhịa naara ebi ga-aghọ ala mmiri mmiri; ahịhịa, na ahịhịa riidi, na ahịhịa papịrọs, ga-epupụta nʼime ya.

And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 Okporoụzọ ga-adịkwa nʼebe ahụ, nke a ga-akpọ, Okporoụzọ Ịdị Nsọ, Ọ ga-adịrị naanị ndị ahụ na-agbaso Ụzọ ahụ. Ndị na-adịghị ọcha agaghị eje ije nʼelu ya, ndị nzuzu ajọ omume agaghị ejegharị nʼelu ya.

And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err [therein].

9 Ọdụm agaghị anọ nso ụzọ ahụ. Ọ dịkwaghị anụ ọhịa na-egbu mmadụ ga-aga nʼelu ya. E, agaghị ahụ anụ dị otu a nʼebe ahụ. Kama, ọ bụ naanị ndị a gbapụtara ga-eje ije na ya.

No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon, they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:

10 Ma ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị gbapụtara ga-alọtakwa. Ha ga-eji abụ bata na Zayọn; ọṅụ na-adịgide ga-adịkwasị nʼisi ha. Oke ọṅụ na obi ụtọ ga-ejupụta nʼobi ha. Iru ụjụ na ịsụ ude ga-efelaga.

and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
