Isaiah 35
1 The land that was desolate and impassable shall be glad, and the wilderness shall rejoice, and shall flourish like the lily.
Ørken og hede skal fryde sig, Ødemark juble og blomstre;
2 It shall bud forth and blossom, and shall rejoice with joy and praise: the glory of Libanus is given to it: the beauty of Carmel, and Saron, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the beauty of our God.
blomstre frodigt som Rosen og juble, ja juble med Fryd. Libanons Herlighed gives den, Karmels og Sarons Pragt. HERRENS Herlighed skuer de, vor Guds Højhed.
3 Strengthen ye the feeble hands, and confirm the weak knees.
Styrk de slappe Hænder, lad de vaklende Knæ blive faste,
4 Say to the fainthearted: Take courage, and fear not: behold your God will bring the revenge of recompense: God himself will come and will save you.
sig til de ængstede Hjerter: Vær stærke, vær uden Frygt! Se eders Gud! Han kommer med Hævn, Gengæld kommer fra Gud; han kommer og frelser eder.
5 Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Da aabnes de blindes Øjne, de døves Ører lukkes op;
6 Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free: for waters are broken out in the desert, and streams in the wilderness.
da springer den halte som Hjort, den stummes Tunge jubler; thi Vand vælder frem i Ørkenen, Bække i Ødemark;
7 And that which was dry land, shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water. In the dens where dragons dwell before, shall rise up the verdure of the reed and the bulrush.
det glødende Sand bliver Vanddrag, til Kildevæld tørstigt Land. I Sjakalers Bo holder Hjorde Rast, paa Strudsenes Enemærker gror Rør og Siv.
8 And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way: the unclean shall not pass over it, and this shall be unto you a straight way, so that fools shall not err therein.
Der bliver en banet Vej, den hellige Vej skal den kaldes; ingen uren færdes paa den, den er Valfartsvej for hans Folk, selv enfoldige farer ej vild.
9 No lion shall be there, nor shall any mischievous beast go up by it, nor be found there: but they shall walk there that shall be delivered.
Paa den er der ingen Løver, Rovdyr træder den ej, der skal de ikke findes. De genløste vandrer ad den,
10 And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
HERRENS forløste vender hjem, de drager til Zion med Jubel, med evig Glæde om Issen; Fryd og Glæde faar de, Sorg og Suk skal fly.
