Aịzaya 35

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

Wilderness and parched land, shall be glad for them, —And the waste plain, shall exult, and blossom as the lily:

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 exult, Yea with exultation and shouts of triumph, The glory of Lebanon, hath been given to it, The splendour of Carmel, and Sharon, —They, shall see the glory of Yahweh, the splendour 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, —The trembling knees, make ye firm:

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 the hurried in heart, Be strong, Do not fear, —Lo! your God, with avenging, doth come, With the recompence of God, He, doth come to save you.

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

Then, shall be opened the eyes of the blind, —And, the ears of the deaf, 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 leap as a hart the lame, Then shall shout the tongue of the dumb, For, there have broken forth—In the desert—waters, And streams, in the waste plain:

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.

Then shall the glowing sand, become a lake, And thirsty ground—springs of water, —In the home of the wild dog—its lair, Shall be an enclosure for cane and paper—reed.

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 there shall be there, a raised way—even a high road, And the Highroad of Holiness, shall it be called, There shall not pass over it one who is unclean; But He Himself, shall be one of them travelling the road, And the perverse, shall not stray [thereinto].

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.

There shall be, there, no lion, Nor shall ravenous beast, go up thereon, It shall not be found, there, —Thus, shall travel the redeemed;

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 Yahweh! shall return, And shall enter Zion with shouting, With gladness age-abiding, upon their head, Joy and gladness shall overtake them, And sorrow and sighing, shall flee away.
