Isaiah 35

Ka koa te koraha me te wahi mokemoke, ka hari te koraha, koia ano kei te rohi te whai puawai.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

Nui atu te tupu, ka koa, ae ra, koa ana, waiata ana: ka hoatu te kororia o Repanona ki reira, te nui o Karamere, o Harono: ka kite ratou i te kororia o Ihowa, i te nui o to tatou Atua.

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, and the excellency of our God.

Whakakahangia nga ringa ngoikore, whakaungia nga turi ngonge.

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

Mea atu ki te hunga ngakau potatutatu, Kia kaha, kaua e wehi: nana, ka haere mai to koutou Atua, me te rapu utu, me te whakautu a te Atua; ka haere mai ano ia ki te whakaora i a koutou.

Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

Ko reira nga kanohi o nga matapo kite ai, a ka puare nga taringa o nga turi.

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

Ko reira te kopa tupeke ai, ano he hata, ka waiata te arero o te whango; no te mea ka pakaru mai nga wai i te koraha, nga awa i te wahi titohea.

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

Na ka meinga te kirikiri mumura hei harotoroto, te whenua maroke hei puputanga wai: a i te nohoanga i takoto ai nga kirehe mohoao, ko te tarutaru, ko te kakaho, ko te wiwi.

And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

Ka whai huanui ano a reira, me tetahi ara, ka kiia hoki, Ko te ara o te tapu; e kore te poke e haere i reira; engari ka waiho mo ratou; a ko te tangata haere ara, ahakoa he wairangi, e kore e he ki reira.

And an 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, though fools, shall not err therein.

Kahore o reira raiona, e kore ano tetahi kararehe kai kino e tika na reira, e kore e kitea ki reira; engari ka haereerea e te hunga i hokona.

No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

Na, ko a Ihowa i hoko ai ka hoki mai, ka haere mai i runga i te waiata ki Hiona; i runga i o ratou mahunga ko te haringa e kore e mutu: ka whiwhi ratou ki te koa, ki te hari, a rere atu ana te pouri me te aue.

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
