< Isaiah 35 >

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
تَفْرَحُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱلْيَابِسَةُ، وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱلْقَفْرُ وَيُزْهِرُ كَٱلنَّرْجِسِ.١
2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.
يُزْهِرُ إِزْهَارًا وَيَبْتَهِجُ ٱبْتِهَاجًا وَيُرَنِّمُ. يُدْفَعُ إِلَيْهِ مَجْدُ لُبْنَانَ. بَهَاءُ كَرْمَلَ وَشَارُونَ. هُمْ يَرَوْنَ مَجْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَهَاءَ إِلَهِنَا.٢
3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
شَدِّدُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُرْتَعِشَةَ ثَبِّتُوهَا.٣
4 Say to them that 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.
قُولُوا لِخَائِفِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ: «تَشَدَّدُوا لَا تَخَافُوا. هُوَذَا إِلَهُكُمُ. ٱلِٱنْتِقَامُ يَأْتِي. جِزَاءُ ٱللهِ. هُوَ يَأْتِي وَيُخَلِّصُكُمْ».٤
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
حِينَئِذٍ تَتَفَقَّحُ عُيُونُ ٱلْعُمْيِ، وَآذَانُ ٱلصُّمِّ تَتَفَتَّحُ.٥
6 Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
حِينَئِذٍ يَقْفِزُ ٱلْأَعْرَجُ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَجَرَتْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِيَاهٌ، وَأَنْهَارٌ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.٦
7 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.
وَيَصِيرُ ٱلسَّرَابُ أَجَمًا، وَٱلْمَعْطَشَةُ يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ. فِي مَسْكِنِ ٱلذِّئَابِ، فِي مَرْبِضِهَا دَارٌ لِلْقَصَبِ وَٱلْبَرْدِيِّ.٧
8 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 [therein].
وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ سِكَّةٌ وَطَرِيقٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: «ٱلطَّرِيقُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةُ». لَا يَعْبُرُ فِيهَا نَجِسٌ، بَلْ هِيَ لَهُمْ. مَنْ سَلَكَ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ حَتَّى ٱلْجُهَّالُ، لَا يَضِلُّ.٨
9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:
لَا يَكُونُ هُنَاكَ أَسَدٌ. وَحْشٌ مُفْتَرِسٌ لَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَيْهَا. لَا يُوجَدُ هُنَاكَ. بَلْ يَسْلُكُ ٱلْمَفْدِيُّونَ فِيهَا.٩
10 and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
وَمَفْدِيُّو ٱلرَّبِّ يَرْجِعُونَ وَيَأْتُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ بِتَرَنُّمٍ، وَفَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِهِمِ. ٱبْتِهَاجٌ وَفَرَحٌ يُدْرِكَانِهِمْ. وَيَهْرُبُ ٱلْحُزْنُ وَٱلتَّنَهُّدُ.١٠
