Isaaya 35

1 Eddungu n’ensi enkalu birijaguza; Eddungu lirisanyuka ne limeramu ebintu. Ebimuli ebifaanana ng’ejjirikiti

The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 birimeruka, birijaguza nnyo ne biwowogana n’essanyu mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka. Ekitiibwa kya Lebanooni kirigiweebwa, ekitiibwa kya Kalumeeri ne Saloni; baliraba ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ekitiibwa kya Katonda waffe.

It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

3 Muzzeemu amaanyi emikono eminafu, n’amaviivi agajugumira mugagumye.

Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.

4 Mugambe abo abalina omutima omuti nti, Mubeere n’amaanyi temutya: laba Katonda wammwe alijja; alibalwanirira, alage abalabe bammwe obusungu obw’Obwakatonda, era alibalokola.

Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and save you.

5 Olwo amaaso g’abazibe galiraba, era n’amatu ga bakiggala galigguka;

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

6 omulema alibuuka ng’ennangaazi, n’olulimi lw’abatayogera luliyimba n’essanyu. Amazzi galifubutuka ne gakulukutira mu lukoola n’emigga mu ddungu.

then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.

7 N’omusenyu ogwokya gulifuuka ekidiba, n’ensi eyakala edda n’etiiriika ensulo ez’amazzi. Ebibe we byagalamiranga walimera omuddo, n’essaalu, n’ebitoogo.

And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 Era eribaayo oluguudo olunene, n’ekkubo, eririyitibwa Ekkubo Ettukuvu. Abatali balongoofu tebaliriyitamu, liriba ly’abali abalongoofu, kubanga abasirusiru abatali balongoofu tebaliriyitamu.

And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even fools, — shall not err [therein].

9 Teribaayo mpologoma, so teririnnyayo nsolo yonna nkambwe; tezirirabikayo, naye abanunule balitambulira eyo.

No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].

10 N’abantu ba Mukama abaanunulibwa balikomawo, ne bajja mu Sayuuni nga bayimba, n’essanyu eritaggwaawo nga libajjudde. Balifuna essanyu lingi nnyo n’okujaguza, okunakuwala n’okusinda nga biggweereddewo ddala.

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