以賽亞書 35

1 荒野和不毛之地必要歡樂，沙漠必要欣喜，如花盛開，

The desert and the wildernes shall reioyce: and the waste ground shalbe glad and florish as the rose.

2 盛開得有如百合，高興得歡樂歌唱；因為它們將獲得黎巴嫩的光華，加爾默耳和沙龍的美麗；它們將見到上主的榮耀，我們天主的光輝。

It shall florish abundantly and shall greatly reioyce also and ioye: the glory of Lebanon shalbe giuen vnto it: the beautie of Carmel, and of Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellencie of our God.

3 你們應加強痿弱的手，堅固顫動的膝，

Strengthen the weake handes, and comfort the feeble knees.

4 告訴心怯的人說：「鼓起勇氣來，不要畏懼！看，你們的天主，報復已到，天主的報酬已到，他要親自來拯救你們！」

Say vnto them that are fearefull, Bee you strong, feare not: beholde, your God commeth with vengeance: euen God with a recompense, he will come and saue you.

5 那時瞎子的眼睛要明朗，聾子的耳朵要開啟；

Then shall the eyes of the blinde be lightened, and the eares of the deafe be opened.

6 那時瘸子必要跳躍如鹿，啞吧的舌頭必要歡呼，因為曠野裏將流出大水，沙漠中將湧出江河，

Then shall ye lame man leape as an hart, and the dumme mans tongue shall sing: for in the wildernes shall waters breake out, and riuers in ye desert.

7 白熱的沙地將變為池沼，炕旱的地帶將變為水源，豺狼棲息的洞穴將生出蘆葦和菖蒲。

And the dry ground shalbe as a poole, and the thirstie (as springs of water in the habitation of dragons: where they lay) shall be a place for reedes and rushes.

8 那裏將有一條大路，稱為「聖路，」不潔的人不得通行：這原是他百姓所走的路，愚蠢的人也不會迷路。

And there shalbe a path and a way, and the way shalbe called holy: the polluted shall not passe by it: for he shalbe with them, and walke in the way, and the fooles shall not erre.

9 那裏沒有獅子，猛獸也不上來，路上遇不到一隻野獸，獨有被贖出的人們行走。

There shall be no lyon, nor noysome beastes shall ascend by it, neither shall they be found there, that the redeemed may walke.

10 上主所解救的人必要歸來，快樂地來到熙雍，永久的歡樂臨於他們頭上，他們將享盡快樂和歡喜，憂愁和悲哀必將遠遁。

Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall returne and come to Zion with prayse: and euerlasting ioy shall bee vpon their heads: they shall obteine ioye and gladnesse, and sorow and mourning shall flee away.
