< 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,
The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.
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。
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD's glory, the excellence of our God.
Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble 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。
Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
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 the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.
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。
The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.
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。
And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.
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。
No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.
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。
The LORD's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."
