إِشَعْيَاءَ 35

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

Be glad, thou thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

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

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

٣ 3 شَدِّدُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُرْتَعِشَةَ ثَبِّتُوهَا.

Be strong, ye relaxed hands and palsied knees.

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

Comfort one another, ye fainthearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.

٥ 5 حِينَئِذٍ تَتَفَقَّحُ عُيُونُ ٱلْعُمْيِ، وَآذَانُ ٱلصُّمِّ تَتَفَتَّحُ.

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

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

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel [of water] in a thirsty land.

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

And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall [be poured] into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

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.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

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

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,

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

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy [shall be] over their head; for on their head [shall be] praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.
