< 以赛亚书 35 >
1 旷野和干旱之地必然欢喜; 沙漠也必快乐; 又像玫瑰开花,
Be glad, you thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.
2 必开花繁盛, 乐上加乐,而且欢呼。 黎巴嫩的荣耀, 并迦密与沙 的华美,必赐给它。 人必看见耶和华的荣耀, 我们 神的华美。
And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honor of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.
Be strong, you relaxed hands and palsied knees.
4 对胆怯的人说: 你们要刚强,不要惧怕。 看哪,你们的 神必来报仇, 必来施行极大的报应; 他必来拯救你们。
Comfort one another, you faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render [it]; he will come and save us.
Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.
6 那时,瘸子必跳跃像鹿; 哑巴的舌头必能歌唱。 在旷野必有水发出; 在沙漠必有河涌流。
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.
7 发光的沙要变为水池; 干渴之地要变为泉源。 在野狗躺卧之处, 必有青草、芦苇,和蒲草。
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.
8 在那里必有一条大道, 称为圣路。 污秽人不得经过, 必专为赎民行走; 行路的人虽愚昧, 也不致失迷。
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.
9 在那里必没有狮子, 猛兽也不登这路; 在那里都遇不见, 只有赎民在那里行走。
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,
10 并且耶和华救赎的民必归回, 歌唱来到锡安; 永乐必归到他们的头上; 他们必得着欢喜快乐, 忧愁叹息尽都逃避。
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.
