< Isaya 35 >
1 Jangwa na nchi kame vitafurahi; nyika itashangilia na kuchanua maua. Kama waridi,
They will rejoice! [the] wilderness and [the] dry region and let it be glad [the] desert plain so it may bud like a crocus.
2 litachanua maua, litashangilia sana na kupaza sauti kwa furaha. Litapewa utukufu wa Lebanoni, fahari ya Karmeli na Sharoni; wataona utukufu wa Bwana, fahari ya Mungu wetu.
Completely it will bud and let it be glad also gladness and shouting for joy [the] glory of Lebanon it will be given to it [the] splendor of Carmel and Sharon they they will see [the] glory of Yahweh [the] splendor of God our.
3 Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu, yafanyeni imara magoti yaliyolegea,
Strengthen hands slack and knees stumbling make firm.
4 waambieni wale wenye mioyo ya hofu, “Kuweni hodari, msiogope; tazama, Mungu wenu atakuja, pamoja na malipo ya Mungu, atakuja na kuwaokoa ninyi.”
Say to [people] hasty of heart be strong may not you be afraid here! God your vengeance he will come [the] recompense of God he he will come and he may deliver you.
5 Ndipo macho ya vipofu yatafumbuliwa na masikio ya viziwi yatazibuliwa.
Then they will be opened [the] eyes of blind [people] and [the] ears of deaf [people] they will be unstopped.
6 Ndipo kilema atarukaruka kama kulungu, nao ulimi wa aliye bubu utapaza sauti kwa shangwe. Maji yatatiririka kwa kasi katika nyika, na vijito katika jangwa.
Then he will leap like deer a lame [person] so it may shout for joy [the] tongue of a dumb [person] for they will burst forth in the wilderness waters and torrents in the desert plain.
7 Mchanga wa moto utakuwa bwawa la maji, ardhi yenye kiu itabubujika chemchemi. Maskani ya mbweha walikolala hapo awali patamea majani, matete na mafunjo.
And it will become the parched ground a pool and thirsty ground springs of water in a habitation of jackals resting place its herbage reed[s] and papyrus.
8 Nako kutakuwa na njia kuu, nayo itaitwa Njia ya Utakatifu. Wasio safi hawatapita juu yake; itakuwa ya wale watembeao katika Njia ile; yeye asafiriye juu yake, ajapokuwa mjinga, hatapotea.
And it will be there a highway and a way and [the] way of holiness it will be called to it not he will pass along it [the] unclean and it [will belong] to them [one who] walks a way and fools not they will wander about.
9 Huko hakutakuwepo na simba, wala mnyama mkali hatapita njia hiyo, wala hawatapatikana humo. Ila waliokombolewa tu ndio watakaopita huko,
Not it will be there a lion and a violent one of living creatures not it will go up on it not it will be found there and they will walk redeemed [people].
10 waliokombolewa na Bwana watarudi. Wataingia Sayuni wakiimba; furaha ya milele itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao. Watapata furaha na shangwe; huzuni na majonzi vitakimbia.
And [the] [people] ransomed of Yahweh they will return! and they will come Zion with a shout of joy and gladness of perpetuity [will be] on head their joy and gladness they will overtake [them] and they will flee sorrow and sighing.
