Isaia 35

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

The wilderness and the solitary place 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 confirm the feeble 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 recompence 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 an 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 glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with 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 an 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.
