Isaiah 35
1 Aginjù àti ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ yóò yọ̀ fún wọn; aginjù yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀ yóò sì kún fún ìtànná. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ewéko,
They rejoice from the wilderness and dry place, And the desert rejoices, And flourishes as the rose,
2 ní títanná yóò tanná; yóò yọ ayọ̀ ńlá ńlá yóò sì kọrin. Ògo Lebanoni ni a ó fi fún un, ẹwà Karmeli àti Ṣaroni; wọn yóò rí ògo Olúwa, àti ẹwà Ọlọ́run wa.
Flourishing it flourishes, and rejoices, Indeed, [with] joy and singing, The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They see the glory of YHWH, The majesty of our God.
3 Fún ọwọ́ àìlera lókun, mú orúnkún tí ń yẹ̀ lókun.
Strengthen the feeble hands, Indeed, strengthen the stumbling knees.
4 Sọ fún àwọn oníbẹ̀rù ọkàn pé, “Ẹ ṣe gírí, ẹ má bẹ̀rù; Ọlọ́run yín yóò wá, òun yóò wá pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ̀san; pẹ̀lú ìgbẹ̀san mímọ́ òun yóò wá láti gbà yín là.”
Say to the hurried of heart, “Be strong, Do not fear, behold, your God; vengeance comes, The repayment of God, He Himself comes and saves you.”
5 Nígbà náà ni a ó la ojú àwọn afọ́jú àti etí àwọn odi kì yóò dákẹ́.
Then eyes of the blind are opened, And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
6 Nígbà náà ni àwọn arọ yóò máa fò bí àgbọ̀nrín, àti ahọ́n odi yóò ké fún ayọ̀. Odò yóò tú jáde nínú aginjù àti àwọn odò nínú aṣálẹ̀.
Then the lame leap as a deer, And the tongue of the mute sings, For waters have been broken up in a wilderness, And streams in a desert.
7 Ilẹ̀ iyanrìn yíyan yóò di àbàtà, ilẹ̀ tí ń pòǹgbẹ yóò di orísun omi. Ní ibùgbé àwọn dragoni, níbi tí olúkúlùkù dùbúlẹ̀, ni ó jẹ́ ọgbà fún eèsún àti papirusi.
And the mirage has become a pond, And the thirsty land—fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of lying down, A court for reed and rush.
8 Àti òpópónà kan yóò wà níbẹ̀: a ó sì máa pè é ní ọ̀nà ìwà mímọ́. Àwọn aláìmọ́ kì yóò tọ ọ̀nà náà; yóò sì wà fún àwọn tí ń rìn ní ọ̀nà náà, àwọn ìkà búburú kì yóò gba ibẹ̀ kọjá.
And a highway has been there, and a way, And it is called the “Way of Holiness.” The unclean do not pass over it, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoever is going in the way—even fools do not err.
9 Kì yóò sí kìnnìún níbẹ̀, tàbí kí ẹranko búburú kí ó dìde lórí i rẹ̀; a kì yóò rí wọn níbẹ̀. Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ẹni ìràpadà nìkan ni yóò rìn níbẹ̀,
No lion is there, Indeed, a destructive beast does not ascend it, It is not found there, And the redeemed have walked,
10 àwọn ẹni ìràpadà Olúwa yóò padà wá. Wọn yóò wọ Sioni wá pẹ̀lú orin; ayọ̀ ayérayé ni yóò dé wọn ní orí. Ìdùnnú àti ayọ̀ ni yóò borí i wọn, ìkorò àti ìtìjú yóò sì sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
And the ransomed of YHWH return, And have entered Zion with singing, And [with] continuous joy on their head, They attain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing have fled away!
