Yesaia 35

1 Nweatam ne asase a awo no ani begye; sare bedi ahurusi na ayɛ frɔmfrɔm. Te sɛ nhwiren no,

The wilderness and the parched land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 ɛbɛpae ayɛ fɛfɛɛfɛ ebedi ahurusi na ɛde anigye ateɛ mu, wɔde Lebanon anuonyam bɛma no Karmel ne Saron ahoɔfɛ; wobehu Awurade anuonyam, yɛn Nyankopɔn tumi no.

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 Hyɛ nsa a emu agow no mu den, hyɛ nkotodwe a ahodwow no mu den;

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and make firm the tottering knees.

4 Ka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔn koma atu no se, “Monhyɛ mo ho den, na munnsuro; mo Nyankopɔn bɛba, ɔde aweretɔ bɛba; ananmuhyɛ a efi ɔsoro bɛba abegye mo nkwa.”

Say to them that are of a fearful heart: 'Be strong, fear not'; behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God He will come and save you.

5 Ɛno na wobebue anifuraefo ani, na wɔama asotifo aso ate asɛm.

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Ɛno na mpakye behuruw te sɛ ɔforote, na mum tɛkrɛma de anigye ateɛ mu. Nsu betue wɔ sare so, na nsuwansuwa apue wɔ nweatam so.

Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 Nwea a so yɛ hyew no bɛdan ɔtare, na nsuwansuwa atue wɔ asase wosee so. Atu a anka sakraman te mu no, ɛhɔ na sare ne demmire ne paparɔso befifi.

And the parched land shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the habitation of jackals herds shall lie down, it shall be an enclosure for reeds and rushes.

8 Na ɔtempɔn bɛda hɔ; wɔbɛfrɛ no Ahotefo Kwan. Wɔn a wɔn ho ntew rentu kwan wɔ so; ɛbɛda hɔ ama wɔn a wɔnantew saa Kwan no so; amumɔyɛfo nkwaseafo rennantenantew so.

And a 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 Gyata biara rentena hɔ, na akekaboa biara rensi so; wɔrenhu wɔn wɔ hɔ. Na wɔn a wɔagye wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛfa so,

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 na wɔn a Awurade agye wɔn no bɛsan aba. Wɔde nnwonto bɛhyɛn Sion; anigye a ɛnsa da bɛyɛ wɔn ahenkyɛw. Wobenya anigye ne ahosɛpɛw mmoroso, na awerɛhow ne apinisi beguan akɔ.

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.
