Isaaya 35

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

The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad; 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 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 Muzzeemu amaanyi emikono eminafu, n’amaviivi agajugumira mugagumye.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and make firm 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 fearful heart: 'Be strong, fear not'; behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God He will come 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 shall 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 shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams 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 parched land shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the habitation of jackals herds shall lie down, it shall be an enclosure for 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 over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, yea 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 any ravenous beast go up thereon, they shall not 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 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.
