Isaia 35
1 Ravoravo ny efitra sy ny tany karankaina, ary ny tani-hay mifaly sy mamony tahaka ny lilia.
The wilderness and the land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2 Mamony be dia be izy, eny, mifaly mihoby izy, ny voninahitr’ i Libanona dia homena azy mbamin’ ny hatsaran-tarehin’ i Karmela sy Sarôna, dia hahita ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah izy sy ny famirapiratan’ Andriamanitsika.
It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.
3 Ampaherezonareo ny tanana miraviravy, ary hatanjaho ny lohalika malemy.
Strengthen the limp hands and steady the feeble knees!
4 Lazao amin’ izay reraka am-po: Mahereza, aza matahotra, indro, Andriamanitrareo ho avy mitondra famaliana, dia ny famalian’ Andriamanitra, eny, Izy tokoa no ho avy ka hamonjy anareo.
Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.”
5 Dia hampahiratina ny mason’ ny jamba, ary hampahaladina ny sofin’ ny marenina.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6 Dia hitsambikina tahaka ny diera ny mandringa, ary hihoby ny lelan’ ny moana; Fa hiboiboika any an-efitra ny rano, ary hisy renirano any amin’ ny tany karankaina.
Then the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy. For waters will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 Ny alonalona mitarehin-drano dia ho tonga farihy tokoa, ary ny tany mangentana ho loharano miboiboika; Ny fonenana izay amitsahan’ ny amboadia dia haniry volotara sy zozoro.
The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.
8 Ary hisy lalambe any dia lalana voavoatra, izay hatao hoe Làlan’ ny fahamasinana; Tsy mba handia izany ny tsy madio, fa Jehovah homba azy ka izay mandeha amin’ ny lalana dia tsy ho diso any, na dia ny adala aza.
And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it.
9 Any tsy hisy liona sady tsy hiakaran’ ny biby masiaka, tsy ho hita ao ireny; Fa ny navotana no handia azy.
No lion will be there, and no vicious beast will go up on it. Such will not be found there, but the redeemed will walk upon it.
10 Eny, ny navotan’ i Jehovah hiverina ka hankany Ziona amin’ ny fihobiana, ary ny fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; Hahazo fifaliana sy faharavoravoana izy, ka dia handositra ny alahelo sy ny fisentoana.
So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
