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 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 exult with joy and singing; The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it; The beauty of Carmel and Sharon; They shall behold the glory of Jehovah, The majesty of our God;
3 Haozaro o fitàn-kengeo le hafatraro o ongotse mikoletrao,
Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm 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 ye to the faint-hearted, “Be ye strong; fear ye not; Behold your God! Vengeance cometh, the retribution of God; He will come and save you!”
5 Le hibeake ty fihaino’ o goao naho ho sokafeñe ty ravembia’ o gìñeo;
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf 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 leap like the hart, And the tongue of the dumb shall sing; For in the wilderness shall waters break forth, 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.
The glowing sands shall become a pool, And the thirsty ground springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where they lie, Shall be a place 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 path shall be there, and a highway, And it shall be called the holy way; No unclean person shall pass over it; it shall be for them alone; He that therein goeth in this way, though a fool, 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; It 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.
Yea, the ransomed of Jehovah shall return; They shall come to Zion with songs: Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
