Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Lætabitur deserta et invia, et exultabit solitudo, et florebit quasi lilium.
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.
Germinans germinabit, et exultabit lætabunda et laudans: gloria Libani data est ei: decor Carmeli, et Saron, ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini, et decorem Dei nostri.
3 Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.
Confortate manus dissolutas, et genua debilia roborate.
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.
Dicite pusillanimis: Confortamini, et nolite timere: ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis: Deus ipse veniet, et salvabit vos.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;
Tunc aperientur oculi cæcorum, et aures surdorum patebunt.
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.
Tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus, et aperta erit lingua mutorum: quia scissæ sunt in deserto aquæ, et torrentes in solitudine.
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.
Et quæ erat arida, erit in stagnum, et sitiens in fontes aquarum. In cubilibus, in quibus prius dracones habitabant, orietur viror calami et iunci.
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].
Et erit ibi semita et via, et via sancta vocabitur: non transibit per eam pollutus, et hæc erit vobis directa via, ita ut stulti non errent per eam.
9 No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].
Non erit ibi leo, et mala bestia non ascendet per eam, nec invenietur ibi: et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint.
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.
Et redempti a Domino convertentur, et venient in Sion cum laude: et lætitia sempiterna super caput eorum: gaudium et lætitiam obtinebunt, et fugiet dolor et gemitus.
