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 dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like a 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 will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD’s glory, the excellence of our God.
3 Meenụ ka aka ndị ahụ kụdara akụda dịkwa ike, gbaakwanụ ụkwụ ndị ahụ na-asọ ngọngọ ume.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make the feeble knees 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.”
Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. 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 will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will 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 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 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.
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 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.
A highway will be there, a road, and it will be called “The Holy Way”. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools shall not go there.
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 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 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.
Then the LORD’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.”
