Isaayyaas 35
1 Gammoojjii fi lafti gogaan ni gammadu; lafti onaan ni ililcha; ni daraaras. Akka arfaasee,
The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2 baayʼinaan daraara; akka malee gammadees ililcha. Ulfinni Libaanoon, surraan Qarmeloosii fi Shaaroon ni kennamaaf; isaan ulfina Waaqayyoo, surraa Waaqa keenyaas ni argu.
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 Harka dadhabe jajjabeessaa; jilba laafes cimsaa;
Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
4 warra garaan isaanii sodaatuun akkana jedhaa: “Jabaadhaa; hin sodaatinaa; Waaqni keessan ni dhufa; inni haaloo baasuuf dhufa; gatii malu qabatee isin oolchuuf ni dhufa.”
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 Ergasii iji nama jaamaa ni banama; gurri nama duudaas ni dhagaʼa.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
6 Gaafas namni naafti akkuma gadamsaa utaala; arrabni hidhamaanis gammachuudhaan faarfata. Bishaan gammoojjii keessaa, burqaanis gammoojjii keessaa cabsee baʼa.
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 Lafti nama gubu haroo, lafti gogaan immoo burqaa bishaanii taʼa. Boolla duraan waangoonni keessa ciisan irratti marga, shambaqqoo fi dhallaadduutu biqila.
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 Karaan guddaan tokko achi ni jiraata; innis, Karaa Qulqullinaa jedhamee waamama; inni warra Karaa sana irra deemaniif taʼa. “Xuraaʼonni” isa irra hin deeman; gowwoonni achiinuu hin baʼan.
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 Leenci achitti hin argamu; yookaan bineensi hamaan achi irra hin baʼu; isaan achitti hin argaman. Garuu warra furaman qofatu achi irra deema;
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 warri Waaqayyo isaan fure ni deebiʼu. Isaan faarfannaadhaan Xiyoon seenu; gammachuun bara baraa mataa isaanii irra jiraata. Isaan gammachuu fi ililleedhaan guutamu; gaddii fi booʼichi isaan irraa fagaatu.
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.
