< Isaiah 35 >

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; 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 shouting: 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 the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.
شَدِّدُوا ٱلْأَيَادِيَ ٱلْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَٱلرُّكَبَ ٱلْمُرْتَعِشَةَ ثَبِّتُوهَا.٣
4 Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, 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 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 sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.
حِينَئِذٍ يَقْفِزُ ٱلْأَعْرَجُ كَٱلْإِيَّلِ وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ ٱلْأَخْرَسِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱنْفَجَرَتْ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ مِيَاهٌ، وَأَنْهَارٌ فِي ٱلْقَفْرِ.٦
7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, 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 through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even 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 ravenous beast go up thereon, nor 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 to Zion with singing; 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
