Isaiah 35
1 Aginjù àti ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ yóò yọ̀ fún wọn; aginjù yóò ṣe àjọyọ̀ yóò sì kún fún ìtànná. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ewéko,
They joy from the wilderness and dry place, And rejoice doth the desert, and flourish 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 doth flourish, and rejoice, Yea, [with] joy and singing, The honour of Lebanon hath been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They — they see the honour of Jehovah, The majesty of our God.
3 Fún ọwọ́ àìlera lókun, mú orúnkún tí ń yẹ̀ lókun.
Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees strengthen.
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 hastened of heart, 'Be strong, Fear not, lo, your God; vengeance cometh, The recompence of God, He Himself doth come and save you.'
5 Nígbà náà ni a ó la ojú àwọn afọ́jú àti etí àwọn odi kì yóò dákẹ́.
Then opened are eyes of the blind, 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 leap as a hart doth the lame, And sing doth the tongue of the dumb, For broken up in a wilderness have been waters, 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 hath become a pond, And the thirsty land fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of couching 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 hath been there, and a way, And the 'way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoso is going in the way — even fools err not.
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, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed,
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 Jehovah return, And have entered Zion with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing!
