Isaiah 35

1 The desert and the wildernes shall reioyce: and the waste ground shalbe glad and florish as the rose.

荒野和不毛之地必要歡樂，沙漠必要欣喜，如花盛開，

2 It shall florish abundantly and shall greatly reioyce also and ioye: the glory of Lebanon shalbe giuen vnto it: the beautie of Carmel, and of Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellencie of our God.

盛開得有如百合，高興得歡樂歌唱；因為它們將獲得黎巴嫩的光華，加爾默耳和沙龍的美麗；它們將見到上主的榮耀，我們天主的光輝。

3 Strengthen the weake handes, and comfort the feeble knees.

你們應加強痿弱的手，堅固顫動的膝，

4 Say vnto them that are fearefull, Bee you strong, feare not: beholde, your God commeth with vengeance: euen God with a recompense, he will come and saue you.

告訴心怯的人說：「鼓起勇氣來，不要畏懼！看，你們的天主，報復已到，天主的報酬已到，他要親自來拯救你們！」

5 Then shall the eyes of the blinde be lightened, and the eares of the deafe be opened.

那時瞎子的眼睛要明朗，聾子的耳朵要開啟；

6 Then shall ye lame man leape as an hart, and the dumme mans tongue shall sing: for in the wildernes shall waters breake out, and riuers in ye desert.

那時瘸子必要跳躍如鹿，啞吧的舌頭必要歡呼，因為曠野裏將流出大水，沙漠中將湧出江河，

7 And the dry ground shalbe as a poole, and the thirstie (as springs of water in the habitation of dragons: where they lay) shall be a place for reedes and rushes.

白熱的沙地將變為池沼，炕旱的地帶將變為水源，豺狼棲息的洞穴將生出蘆葦和菖蒲。

8 And there shalbe a path and a way, and the way shalbe called holy: the polluted shall not passe by it: for he shalbe with them, and walke in the way, and the fooles shall not erre.

那裏將有一條大路，稱為「聖路，」不潔的人不得通行：這原是他百姓所走的路，愚蠢的人也不會迷路。

9 There shall be no lyon, nor noysome beastes shall ascend by it, neither shall they be found there, that the redeemed may walke.

那裏沒有獅子，猛獸也不上來，路上遇不到一隻野獸，獨有被贖出的人們行走。

10 Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall returne and come to Zion with prayse: and euerlasting ioy shall bee vpon their heads: they shall obteine ioye and gladnesse, and sorow and mourning shall flee away.

上主所解救的人必要歸來，快樂地來到熙雍，永久的歡樂臨於他們頭上，他們將享盡快樂和歡喜，憂愁和悲哀必將遠遁。
