Isaiah 35
1 They rejoice from the wilderness and dry place, And the desert rejoices, And flourishes as the rose,
| سَتَفْرَحُ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَالْقَفْرُ الأَجْرَدُ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ وَتُزْهِرُ كَالْوَرْدِ. | ١ |
2 Flourishing it flourishes, and rejoices, Indeed, [with] joy and singing, The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, The beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They see the glory of YHWH, The majesty of our God.
| تَزْدَهِرُ ازْدِهَاراً، وَتَبْتَهِجُ أَشَدَّ بَهْجَةٍ وَيُضْفَى عَلَيْهَا مَجْدُ لُبْنَانَ وَجَلالُ الْكَرْمَلِ وَشَارُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ وَبَهَاءَ إِلَهِنَا. | ٢ |
3 Strengthen the feeble hands, Indeed, strengthen the stumbling knees.
| شَدِّدُوا الأَيْدِي الْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَثَبِّتُوا الرُّكَبَ الْمُرْتَعِشَةَ. | ٣ |
4 Say to the hurried of heart, “Be strong, Do not fear, behold, your God; vengeance comes, The repayment of God, He Himself comes and saves you.”
| قُولُوا لِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْخَائِرَةِ: «تَقَوَّوْا وَلا تَفْزَعُوا، فَهَا هُوَ إِلَهُكُمْ قَادِمٌ، مُقْبِلٌ بِالنِّقْمَةِ، حَامِلٌ جَزَاءَهُ. سَيَأْتِي وَيُخَلِّصُكُمْ». | ٤ |
5 Then eyes of the blind are opened, And ears of the deaf are unstopped,
| عِنْدَئِذٍ تُبْصِرُ عُيُونُ الْمَكْفُوفِينَ وَتَنْفَتِحُ آذَانُ الصُّمِّ، | ٥ |
6 Then the lame leap as a deer, And the tongue of the mute sings, For waters have been broken up in a wilderness, And streams in a desert.
| وَيَطْفُرُ الأَعْرَجُ كَالظَّبْيِ، وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ الأَبْكَمِ فَرَحاً، إِذْ تَنْفَجِرُ الْمِيَاهُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَتَدَفَّقُ الْجَدَاوِلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، | ٦ |
7 And the mirage has become a pond, And the thirsty land—fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of lying down, A court for reed and rush.
| وَيَتَحَوَّلُ السَّرَابُ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضُ الْظَّمْأَى إِلَى جَدَاوِلَ. وَفِي الأَوْجِرَةِ حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تَأْوِي بَنَاتُ آوَى، يَنْمُو الْعُشْبُ وَالْقَصَبُ وَالْبَرْدِيُّ. | ٧ |
8 And a highway has been there, and a way, And it is called the “Way of Holiness.” The unclean do not pass over it, And He Himself [is] by them, Whoever is going in the way—even fools do not err.
| وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ طَرِيقٌ تُدْعَى طَرِيقَ الْقَدَاسَةِ، لَا يَسْلُكُ فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ دَنِسٌ، إِنَّمَا تَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ السَّالِكِينَ فِي تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقِ، وَلا يَضِلُّ فِيهَا حَتَّى الْجُهَّالُ. | ٨ |
9 No lion is there, Indeed, a destructive beast does not ascend it, It is not found there, And the redeemed have walked,
| لَا يَطْرُقُهَا أَسَدٌ، وَلا يَأْتِيهَا حَيَوَانٌ مُفْتَرِسٌ. إِنَّمَا يَسْلُكُ فِيهَا الْمَفْدِيُّونَ | ٩ |
10 And the ransomed of YHWH return, And have entered Zion with singing, And [with] continuous joy on their head, They attain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing have fled away!
| وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ وَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ مُتَرَنِّمِينَ يُكَلِّلُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ، وَتَغْمُرُهُمُ الْغِبْطَةُ وَالسُّرُورُ، وَيَهْرُبُ الْحُزْنُ وَالأَنِينُ. | ١٠ |
