Isaiah 35
1 The waste land and the dry places will be glad; the lowland will have joy and be full of flowers.
laetabitur deserta et invia et exultabit solitudo et florebit quasi lilium
2 It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.
germinans germinabit et exultabit laetabunda et laudans gloria Libani data est ei decor Carmeli et Saron ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini et decorem Dei nostri
3 Make strong the feeble hands, give support to the shaking knees.
confortate manus dissolutas et genua debilia roborate
4 Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.
dicite pusillanimis confortamini nolite timere ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis Deus ipse veniet et salvabit vos
5 Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears which are stopped will be open.
tunc aperientur oculi caecorum et aures surdorum patebunt
6 Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.
tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus et aperta erit lingua mutorum quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae et torrentes in solitudine
7 And the burning sand will become a pool, and the dry earth springs of waters: the fields where the sheep take their food will become wet land, and water-plants will take the place of grass.
et quae erat arida in stagnum et sitiens in fontes aquarum in cubilibus in quibus prius dracones habitabant orietur viror calami et iunci
8 And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.
et erit ibi semita et via et via sancta vocabitur non transibit per eam pollutus et haec erit nobis directa via ita ut stulti non errent per eam
9 No lion will be there, or any cruel beast; they will not be seen there; but those for whom the Lord has given a price,
non erit ibi leo et mala bestia non ascendet per eam nec invenietur ibi et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint
10 Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.
et redempti a Domino convertentur et venient in Sion cum laude et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt et fugiet dolor et gemitus
