Isaya 35
1 Gwenga nenyika yakaoma zvichafara; sango richafara kwazvo uye richatumbuka; seruva,
The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad, And the desert rejoice and blossom as the rose;
2 richatumbuka; richafara zvikuru uye richapembera nomufaro. Mbiri yeRebhanoni ichapiwa kwariri, kunaka kweKarimeri neSharoni; vachaona kubwinya kwaJehovha, nokunaka kwaMwari wedu.
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 Simbisai maoko asina simba, tsigirai mabvi anodedera;
Strengthen ye the weak hands, And confirm the tottering knees!
4 muti kuna avo vane mwoyo inotya, “Simbai, musatya; Mwari wenyu achauya, achauya nokutsiva, nokuripira kutsvene achauya kuzokuponesai.”
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 Ipapo meso amapofu achasvinudzwa uye nzeve dzematsi dzichazarurwa.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, And the ears of the deaf be unstopped.
6 Ipapo akaremara achakwakuka senondo, uye rurimi rwechimumu ruchaimba nomufaro. Mvura ichatubuka murenje, uye nehova dzemvura mugwenga.
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 Jecha rinopisa richashanduka rikava dziva, ivhu rine nyota richava zvitubu zvemvura. Maigara makava noumo maaimbovata, muchamera uswa, netsanga nenhokwe.
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 Ipapo pachava nomugwagwa; uchanzi Nzira yoUtsvene. Vane tsvina havangazofambi mairi; ichava yaivavo vanofamba muNzira iyoyo; vakaipa namapenzi havangazofambi mairi.
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 Hapangavi neshumba ipapo, kana chikara chipi zvacho chichawanikwapo. Asi vakadzikinurwa voga ndivo vachafambamo,
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 uye vakasunungurwa vaJehovha vachadzoka. Vachapinda muZioni vachiimba; mufaro usingaperi uchava pamusoro pavo. Vachawana mufaro nokufarisisa, kusuwa nokuneta zvichatiza.
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.
