Isaiah 35
1 Yen mwesis ac fah enganak, Ac ros fah fareng in acn turangang.
[Some day, it will be as though] the desert [and other very] dry areas are glad [DOU]; the desert will rejoice and flowers will blossom. Like crocuses/daffodils,
2 Yen mwesis fah on ac sasa ke engan; Ac fah arulana kato oana eol in acn Lebanon, Ac kasrup fohk we oana ima lun Carmel ac Sharon. Mwet nukewa fah liye oasku lun LEUM GOD, Elos ac liye fulatlana ac ku lal.
the desert will produce flowers abundantly; [it will be as though] everything is rejoicing and singing! The deserts will become as beautiful as [SIM] [the trees in] Lebanon, as fertile [SIM] as the plains of the Sharon and Carmel [areas]. [There] people will see the glory of Yahweh; they will see that he is magnificent.
3 Akkeye po su totola Ac inti ma rarrar ke munas la.
[So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
4 Fahk nu selos nukewa su munasla nunka, “Kowos in ku, ac tia sangeng! God El ac tuku in molikowosla, El ac tuku in kalyei mwet lokoalok lowos.”
Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong and do not be afraid, because our God is going to come to get revenge [on his enemies]; he will (pay them back/punish them) for what they have done, and he will rescue you.”
5 Mwet kun fah ku in liye, Ac mwet sulohngkas fah lohng.
When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
6 Mwet ul fah srosro ac tacn, Ac elos su tia ku in kaskas fah sasa ke engan. Infacl srisrik fah soror sasla in acn mwesis;
Lame people will leap like deer, and those who have been unable to speak will sing joyfully. Water will gush out [from springs] in the desert; streams will flow in the desert.
7 Puk fol fah ekla sie lulu, Ac acn pao ac fah sessesla ke unon in kof. Acn ma kosro jackal uh muta we meet, Mah ac loa fah kapak we.
The very dry ground will become a pool of water, and springs will provide water for the dry land. Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow in places where the jackals/wolves lived previously.
8 Ac fah oasr soko inkanek sralap we Su fah pangpang “Inkanek Mutallana.” Wangin mwet koluk ac fah ku in fufahsryesr fin inkanek soko inge; Wangin mwet lalfon ac wi forfor fac.
And there will be a highway through that land; it will be called ‘the Holy Highway’. People who are not acceptable to God will not walk on that road; it will be only for those who conduct their lives as God wants them to; foolish people will become lost while walking on that road.
9 Ac fah wangin lion muta we; Wangin kosro sulallal fah forfor we. Elos na su LEUM GOD El molela Fah fahsr nu yen selos ke innek soko inge.
There will not be any lions there or any other dangerous animals along that road. Only those who have been freed [from being slaves in Babylonia] will walk on it.
10 Elos ac fah arulana engan ke elos sun acn Jerusalem, Elos ac alullul ac sasa ke engan. Elos ac fah engan ma pahtpat, Ac fah wanginla asor ac keok lalos nwe tok.
Those whom Yahweh has freed will return to Jerusalem; they will sing as they enter the city; they will be extremely joyful [MET, PRS] forever. No longer will they be sad or mourn; they will be [completely] joyful [DOU].
