Isaiah 35

1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.

曠野和乾旱之地必然歡喜； 沙漠也必快樂； 又像玫瑰開花，

2 It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon's glory Lebanon will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see YHWH's glory, the excellence of our God.

必開花繁盛， 樂上加樂，而且歡呼。 黎巴嫩的榮耀， 並迦密與沙崙的華美，必賜給它。 人必看見耶和華的榮耀， 我們上帝的華美。

3 Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

你們要使軟弱的手堅壯， 無力的膝穩固。

4 Tell those who have a fearful heart, "Be strong. Do not be afraid. Look, your God will come with vengeance, God's retribution. He will come and save you.

對膽怯的人說： 你們要剛強，不要懼怕。 看哪，你們的上帝必來報仇， 必來施行極大的報應； 他必來拯救你們。

5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

那時，瞎子的眼必睜開； 聾子的耳必開通。

6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing; for waters will break out in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.

那時，瘸子必跳躍像鹿； 啞巴的舌頭必能歌唱。 在曠野必有水發出； 在沙漠必有河湧流。

7 The burning sand will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water. Grass with reeds and rushes will be in the habitation of jackals, where they lay.

發光的沙要變為水池； 乾渴之地要變為泉源。 在野狗躺臥之處， 必有青草、蘆葦，和蒲草。

8 And a highway will be there, and it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it will be for those who walk in the Way. Wicked fools will not go there.

在那裏必有一條大道， 稱為聖路。 污穢人不得經過， 必專為贖民行走； 行路的人雖愚昧， 也不致失迷。

9 No lion will be there, nor will any ravenous animal go up on it. They will not be found there; but the redeemed will walk there.

在那裏必沒有獅子， 猛獸也不登這路； 在那裏都遇不見， 只有贖民在那裏行走。

10 YHWH's ransomed ones will return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away."

並且耶和華救贖的民必歸回， 歌唱來到錫安； 永樂必歸到他們的頭上； 他們必得着歡喜快樂， 憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
