Isaiah 35

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

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 shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of the LORD, the excellency 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 ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

你們要使軟弱的手堅壯， 無力的膝穩固。

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [with] the recompence of God; 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 shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

那時，瞎子的眼必睜開； 聾子的耳必開通。

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, 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 And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

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 an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err [therein].

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 shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon, they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall 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 and the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall 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。
