إِشَعْيَاءَ 35

١ 1 تَفْرَحُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱلْقَفْرُ وَيُزْهِرُ كَٱلنَّرْجِسِ.

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad. And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

٢ 2 يُزْهِرُ إِزْهَارًا وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱبْتِهَاجًا وَيُرَنِّمُ. يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ مَجْدُ لُبْنَانَ. بَهَاءُ كَرْمَلَ وَشَارُونَ. هُمْ يَرَوْنَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَهَاءَ إِلَهِنَا.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

٣ 3 شَدِّدُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُرْتَعِشَةَ ثَبِّتُوهَا.

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

٤ 4 قُولُوا لِخَائِفِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ: «تَشَدَّدُوا لَا تَخَافُوا. هُوَذَا إِلَهُكُمُ. ٱلِٱنْتِقَامُ يَأْتِي. جِزَاءُ ٱللهِ. هُوَ يَأْتِي وَيُخَلِّصُكُمْ».

Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

٥ 5 حِينَئِذٍ تَتَفَقَّحُ عُيُونُ ٱلْعُمْيِ، وَآذَانُ ٱلصُّمِّ تَتَفَتَّحُ.

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

٦ 6 حِينَئِذٍ يَقْفِزُ ٱلْأَعْرَجُ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَجَرَتْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِيَاهٌ، وَأَنْهَارٌ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.

Then the lame man shall leap as a hart, and the tongue of the mute shall sing. For waters in the wilderness shall break out, and streams in the desert.

٧ 7 وَيَصِيرُ ٱلسَّرَابُ أَجَمًا، وَٱلْمَعْطَشَةُ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ. فِي مَسْكِنِ ٱلذِّئَابِ، فِي مَرْبِضِهَا دَارٌ لِلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْبَرْدِيِّ.

And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. In the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

٨ 8 وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ سِكَّةٌ وَطَرِيقٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: «ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةُ». لَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا نَجِسٌ، بَلْ هِيَ لَهُمْ. مَنْ سَلَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ حَتَّى ٱلْجُهَّالُ، لَا يَضِلُّ.

And a 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 the redeemed, the wayfaring men. Yea fools shall not err in it.

٩ 9 لَا يَكُونُ هُنَاكَ أَسَدٌ. وَحْشٌ مُفْتَرِسٌ لَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهَا. لَا يُوجَدُ هُنَاكَ. بَلْ يَسْلُكُ ٱلْمَفْدِيُّونَ فِيهَا.

No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up in it. They shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there.

١٠ 10 وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، وَفَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمِ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. وَيَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.

And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
