Isaiah 35
1 [Some day, it will be as though] the desert [and other very] dry areas are glad [DOU]; the desert will rejoice and flowers will blossom. Like crocuses/daffodils,
O deserto e os lugares secos se alegrarão disto; e o ermo exultará e florescerá como a rosa.
2 the desert will produce flowers abundantly; [it will be as though] everything is rejoicing and singing! The deserts will become as beautiful as [SIM] [the trees in] Lebanon, as fertile [SIM] as the plains of the Sharon and Carmel [areas]. [There] people will see the glory of Yahweh; they will see that he is magnificent.
Abundantemente florescerá, e também se alegrará de alegria e exultará; a glória do líbano se lhe deu, o ornato do Carmelo e Saron: eles verão a glória do Senhor, o ornato do nosso Deus.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
Confortai as mãos fracas, e esforçai os joelhos trementes.
4 Say to those who are afraid, “Be strong and do not be afraid, because our God is going to come to get revenge [on his enemies]; he will (pay them back/punish them) for what they have done, and he will rescue you.”
Dizei aos turbados de coração: confortai-vos, não temais: eis que o vosso Deus virá a tomar vingança, com pagos de Deus; ele virá, e vos salvará.
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Então os olhos dos cegos serão abertos, e os ouvidos dos surdos se abrirão.
6 Lame people will leap like deer, and those who have been unable to speak will sing joyfully. Water will gush out [from springs] in the desert; streams will flow in the desert.
Então os coxos saltarão como cervos, e a língua dos mudos cantará: porque águas arrebentarão no deserto e ribeiros no ermo.
7 The very dry ground will become a pool of water, and springs will provide water for the dry land. Grass and reeds and papyrus will grow in places where the jackals/wolves lived previously.
E a terra seca se tornará em tanques, e a terra sedenta em mananciais de águas; e nas habitações em que jaziam os dragões haverá erva com canas e juncos.
8 And there will be a highway through that land; it will be called ‘the Holy Highway’. People who are not acceptable to God will not walk on that road; it will be only for those who conduct their lives as God wants them to; foolish people will become lost while walking on that road.
E ali haverá estrada e caminho, que se chamará o caminho Santo; o imundo não passará por ele, mas será para estes: os caminhantes, até mesmo os loucos, não errarão.
9 There will not be any lions there or any other dangerous animals along that road. Only those who have been freed [from being slaves in Babylonia] will walk on it.
Ali não haverá leão, nem besta fera subirá a ele, nem se achará nele: porém só os remidos andarão por ele.
10 Those whom Yahweh has freed will return to Jerusalem; they will sing as they enter the city; they will be extremely joyful [MET, PRS] forever. No longer will they be sad or mourn; they will be [completely] joyful [DOU].
E os resgatados do Senhor tornarão, e virão a Sião com júbilo: e alegria eterna haverá sobre as suas cabeças: gozo e alegria alcançarão, e deles fugirá a tristeza e o gemido.
