Berean Standard Bible
1ʻE fiefia ʻae toafa mo e potu lala koeʻuhi ko kinautolu, pea ʻe fiefia ʻae potu liʻaki, pea fisi ʻo hangē ko e lose.
1The wilderness and the land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2ʻE fisi lahi ia, pea fiefia ʻi he fiefia mo e hiva: ʻe foaki ki ai ʻae nāunau ʻo Lepanoni, ko e lelei ʻo Kameli mo Saloni: te nau mamata ki he nāunau ʻo Sihova, mo e lelei lahi ʻo hotau ʻOtua.
2It will bloom profusely and rejoice with joy and singing. 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.
3Mou tokoni ki he nima vaivai, pea poupou ʻae tui ʻoku fengataliʻaki.
3Strengthen the limp hands and steady the feeble knees!
4Ke ke pehē kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto manavasiʻi, “Ke mou mālohi, ʻoua ʻe manavahē: vakai, ʻe hāʻele mai homou ʻOtua mo e tautea, ʻio, ʻae ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae totongi; te ne hāʻele mai ʻo fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.”
4Say to those with anxious hearts: “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance. With divine retribution He will come to save you.”
5Pea ʻe toki fakaʻā ʻae mata ʻoe kui, pea ʻe fakaava mo e telinga ʻoe tuli.
5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6Pea ʻe toki hopohopo ʻae tangata ketu ʻo hangē ko e hainite, pea ʻe hiva ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe noa: koeʻuhi ʻe tupu ʻi he toafa ʻae ngaahi vai, mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻi he potu lala.
6Then the lame will leap like a deer and the mute tongue will shout for joy. For waters will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
7Pea ʻe hoko ʻae kelekele mōmoa ko e anovai, mo e fonua fieinu ko e ngaahi matavai: pea ko e nofoʻanga ʻoe fanga talākoni, ʻi he potu naʻe taki taha tokoto ai, ʻe tupu ai ʻae mohuku mo e kaho mo e mohuku ʻoe ano.
7The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt where jackals once lay, there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.
8Pea ʻe ʻi ai ʻae hala motuʻa, pea mo e hala, pea ʻe ui ia ‘Ko e Hala ʻoe Māʻoniʻoni;’ ʻe ʻikai ʻalu ai ʻae taʻemaʻa; ka e tuku ia kiate kinautolu ni: pea neongo ko e vale ʻae kakai fononga ʻe ʻikai te nau hē ai.
8And there will be a highway called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not travel it— only those who walk in the Way— and fools will not stray onto it.
9ʻE ʻikai ʻi ai ha laione, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ki ai ha manu fekai, ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻi ai; ka ʻe ʻeveʻeva ai ʻae kakai kuo huhuʻi:
9No lion will be there, and no vicious beast will go up on it. Such will not be found there, but the redeemed will walk upon it.
10Pea ʻe foki mai ʻae kakai kuo huhuʻi ʻe Sihova, ʻo haʻu ki Saione mo e ngaahi hiva, mo e fiefia taʻengata ʻi honau ʻulu: te nau maʻu ʻae fiefia mo e nekeneka, pea ʻe puna atu ʻae mamahi mo e toʻe.”
10So the redeemed of the LORD will return and enter Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee.
