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 glad thereat; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the lily.

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, yea, with joy and singing; the glory of the Lebanon shall be given unto it, the elegance of Carmel and Sharon; they indeed shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

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

Strengthen ye weak hands, and stumbling knees make ye firm.

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 the timid of heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God, [with] vengeance will he come, with God's recompense; it is he who will come and save you.

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

Then shall the eyes of the blind 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 leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and brooks 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 sandy waste shall be changed into a pool, and the thirsty land into springs of water: in the habitation of monsters, where each one used to lie, shall be a court 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 there shall be a highway and a way, and The holy way, shall it be called; no unclean one shall pass over it; but it shall be [only] theirs; the wayfaring man, and those unacquainted [therewith], shall not go astray.

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

No lion shall be there, and no ravenous beast shall go up thereon, shall not be found there; but there shall walk the redeemed:

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 to Zion with song, with everlasting joy upon their head; gladness and joy shall they obtain, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
