Isaia 35

1 Hifale ty ratraratra naho ty paipaiñe, hirebeke i vavataney, vaho hitaroke hoe dokonose;

The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 Handrevake re vaho hirañaraña an-drebeke naho sabo; hatolots’aze ty enge’ i Lebanone, ty hafanjàka’ i Karmele naho i Sarone; hahaisake ty enge’ Iehovà iereo, ty volonahen’ Añaharen-tika.

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 Haozaro o fitàn-kengeo le hafatraro o ongotse mikoletrao,

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and make firm the tottering knees.

4 Ano ty hoe o embetse an-trokeo: Manintsiña, ko hembañe! hehe te ho avy t’i Andrianañahare’ areo, aman-tambe naho famalean’ Añahare handrombake.

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 Le hibeake ty fihaino’ o goao naho ho sokafeñe ty ravembia’ o gìñeo;

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

6 Hitsamboañe hoe hirañe ty kepeke vaho hisabo an-kaehake ty famele’ o moañeo; higoangoañan-drano ty fatrambey naho ty torahañe am-bavatane eo.

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 Hifotetse ho antara ty tane maike, naho rano manganahana o paipaiñeo, hitiria’ ty vinda o korontsom-panalokeo, vaho handimbe o ahetseo ty tongoahara naho ty sale.

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 Ho eo ty lalan-gadagadañe, ty fañaveloañe hatao ty hoe ty Lala-Piavahañe, tsy homb’ama’e ty tsy malio; ie ho amo mpañavelo amy lalañey, vaho tsy hihezeñe aze ty dagola.

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 Tsy ho ama’e ty liona, tsy hanganike ama’e ty biby romotse; tsy ho zoeñe ao iereo, fa ho fañaveloa’ o jinebañeo

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 le himpoly o vinili’ Iehovào, hipoña-tsabo mb’e Tsione mb’eo; naho hafaleañe tsy modo ty ho añ’ambone’ iareo; Hitendreke firebehañe naho haravoañe vaho hihelañe añe ty hontoke naho ty fiselekaiñañe.

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.
