Isaia 35
1 Ravoravo ny efitra sy ny tany karankaina, ary ny tani-hay mifaly sy mamony tahaka ny lilia.
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.
2 Mamony be dia be izy, eny, mifaly mihoby izy, ny voninahitr’ i Libanona dia homena azy mbamin’ ny hatsaran-tarehin’ i Karmela sy Sarôna, dia hahita ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah izy sy ny famirapiratan’ Andriamanitsika.
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD's glory, the excellence of our God.
3 Ampaherezonareo ny tanana miraviravy, ary hatanjaho ny lohalika malemy.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
4 Lazao amin’ izay reraka am-po: Mahereza, aza matahotra, indro, Andriamanitrareo ho avy mitondra famaliana, dia ny famalian’ Andriamanitra, eny, Izy tokoa no ho avy ka hamonjy anareo.
Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.
5 Dia hampahiratina ny mason’ ny jamba, ary hampahaladina ny sofin’ ny marenina.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
6 Dia hitsambikina tahaka ny diera ny mandringa, ary hihoby ny lelan’ ny moana; Fa hiboiboika any an-efitra ny rano, ary hisy renirano any amin’ ny tany karankaina.
Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7 Ny alonalona mitarehin-drano dia ho tonga farihy tokoa, ary ny tany mangentana ho loharano miboiboika; Ny fonenana izay amitsahan’ ny amboadia dia haniry volotara sy zozoro.
The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
8 Ary hisy lalambe any dia lalana voavoatra, izay hatao hoe Làlan’ ny fahamasinana; Tsy mba handia izany ny tsy madio, fa Jehovah homba azy ka izay mandeha amin’ ny lalana dia tsy ho diso any, na dia ny adala aza.
And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
9 Any tsy hisy liona sady tsy hiakaran’ ny biby masiaka, tsy ho hita ao ireny; Fa ny navotana no handia azy.
No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
10 Eny, ny navotan’ i Jehovah hiverina ka hankany Ziona amin’ ny fihobiana, ary ny fifaliana mandrakizay no ho eny an-dohany; Hahazo fifaliana sy faharavoravoana izy, ka dia handositra ny alahelo sy ny fisentoana.
The LORD's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
