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,
El desierto y la región despoblada se alegrarán, y el llano de Arabá se regocijará y florecerá. Como la flor típica
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.
florecerá exuberante y desbordará de júbilo. Se alegrará y cantará alabanzas. Porque le será dado el esplendor de [la montaña] Líbano, la hermosura de [la montaña] Carmelo y [de la región costera] de Sarón. Ellos verán la gloria de Yavé, la majestad de nuestro ʼElohim.
3 [So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
Fortalezcan las manos cansadas, fortalezcan las rodillas débiles.
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.”
Digan a los de corazón apocado: Esfuércense, no teman. Ciertamente ʼElohim viene con retribución: La venganza es de ʼElohim. Él vendrá y los salvará.
5 When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
Entonces los ojos de los ciegos serán abiertos, y los oídos de los sordos destapados.
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.
Entonces el cojo saltará como un venado. Cantará la lengua del mudo, porque aguas brotarán en el desierto y torrentes en el Arabá.
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.
La arena caliente se convertirá en laguna, y el sequedal en manantiales de agua. La guarida de chacales será un lugar de cañas y 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.
Habrá allí una calzada, la cual será llamada Camino de Santidad. Ningún impuro pasará por él. El que ande por este Camino, aunque sea torpe, no se extraviará.
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.
No habrá allí león, ni fiera subirá por él, ni será hallada allí, para que caminen los redimidos.
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].
Los redimidos de Yavé volverán y llegarán a Sion con gritos de júbilo. Gozo perpetuo habrá sobre sus cabezas, gozo y alegría. Huirán la tristeza y el lamento.
