The origin of 逃之夭夭 ->

source

「逃之夭夭」這句成語是從《詩經．周南．桃夭》：「桃之夭夭，灼灼其華」中的「桃之夭夭」轉用過來。本來「桃之夭夭」是形容桃樹的花、葉茂盛美麗。「夭夭」是美麗茂盛的樣子，所以底下一句「灼灼其華」，強調了桃花開放得鮮豔明亮的樣子。這兩句是《詩經》非常有名的句子，後來又因為「桃」和「逃走」的「逃」同音，所以有人就開玩笑地將人逃跑了的這件事，借用了「桃之夭夭」來比喻，更將「桃花」的「桃」改成「逃走」的「逃」，於是就成了「逃之夭夭」這句成語，此處的「夭夭」已經不具原來的意思了。

I guess you meant the Chinese text only? I have translated it to English. I hope you could read it and understand it.

"The chengyu "逃之夭夭" (tao2 zhi1 yao1 yao1) originated from a famous verse of the book of odes (Shi Jing): "桃之夭夭，灼灼其華". The verse praises the beauty of peach blossoms in full bloom. "夭夭" here describes the peach trees' luxuriance. Since peach (桃 tao2) is a homophone of escape (逃 tao2), people have gradually used 桃之夭夭 to describe "escape" in a joking manner, and replaced the character peach (桃 tao2) with the character escape (逃 tao2), thus 逃之夭夭. 夭夭 in this context has lost its original meaning."
