< Isaiah 35 >

1 The wilderness and the dry land will be glad. The desert will rejoice and blossom like the crocus.
laetabitur deserta et invia et exultabit solitudo et florebit quasi lilium
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.
germinans germinabit et exultabit laetabunda 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 make firm the feeble knees.
confortate manus dissolutas et genua debilia roborate
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.
dicite pusillanimis confortamini nolite timere ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis Deus ipse veniet et salvabit vos
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
tunc aperientur oculi caecorum et aures surdorum patebunt
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.
tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus et aperta erit lingua mutorum quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae et torrentes in solitudine
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.
et quae erat arida in stagnum et sitiens in fontes aquarum in cubilibus in quibus prius dracones habitabant orietur viror calami et iunci
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.
et erit ibi semita et via et via sancta vocabitur non transibit per eam pollutus et haec erit nobis directa via ita ut stulti non errent per eam
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.
non erit ibi leo et mala bestia non ascendet per eam nec invenietur ibi et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint
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."
et redempti a Domino convertentur et venient in Sion cum laude et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt et fugiet dolor et gemitus
