nyika itashangilia na kuchanua maua.
Kama waridi, 235:2 Wim 7:5; Mwa 21:6; Ezr 3:7; Za 105:43; Isa 32:15; 12:6; 25:9; 1Nya 27:29litachanua 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.
335:3 Ay 4:3-4; Ebr 12:12Itieni nguvu mikono iliyo dhaifu,
yafanyeni imara magoti yaliyolegea,
435:4 Isa 40:2; 2Nya 32:6; Zek 1:13; Kum 20:3; Isa 21:4; Yos 1:9; Isa 7:4; 1:24; 34:8; 25:9; 40:1; 10:9, 10-11; 51:5; 62:11; Dan 10:19; Ufu 22:12waambieni wale wenye mioyo ya hofu,
“Kuweni hodari, msiogope;
tazama, Mungu wenu atakuja,
pamoja na malipo ya Mungu,
atakuja na kuwaokoa ninyi.”

na masikio ya viziwi yatazibuliwa.

nao ulimi wa aliye bubu utapaza sauti kwa shangwe.
Maji yatatiririka kwa kasi katika nyika,
na vijito katika jangwa.

ardhi yenye kiu itabubujika chemchemi.
Maskani ya mbweha walikolala hapo awali
patamea majani, matete na mafunjo.
835:8 Yer 31:21; Yoe 3:17; Mt 7:13-14; 1Pet 1:15; Isa 52:1; 33:8Nako 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.
935:9 Isa 30:9; 11:6-9; Law 25:47-55; Kut 6:6; Isa 13:22; 62:12Huko hakutakuwepo na simba,
wala mnyama mkali hatapita njia hiyo,
wala hawatapatikana humo.
Ila waliokombolewa tu ndio watakaopita huko,
1035:10 Yn 16:22; Isa 51:11; 30:29; Ufu 21:4; Ay 19:25; Za 51:8waliokombolewa na Bwana watarudi.
Wataingia Sayuni wakiimba;
furaha ya milele itakuwa juu ya vichwa vyao.
Watapata furaha na shangwe;
huzuni na majonzi vitakimbia.
Joy of the Redeemed
1The desert and the parched land will be glad;
the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, 2it will burst into bloom;
it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon;
they will see the glory of the Lord,
the splendor of our God.
3Strengthen the feeble hands,
steady the knees that give way;
4say to those with fearful hearts,
“Be strong, do not fear;
your God will come,
he will come with vengeance;
with divine retribution
he will come to save you.”
5Then will the eyes of the blind be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6Then will the lame leap like a deer,
and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness
and streams in the desert.
7The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
8And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
9No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,
10and those the Lord has rescued will return.
They will enter Zion with singing;
everlasting joy will crown their heads.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
