Isaiah 35
1 The wilderness and the Arabah will be glad; and the desert will rejoice and blossom. Like the rose,
Laetabitur deserta et invia, et exultabit solitudo, et florebit quasi lilium.
2 it will blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of Yahweh, the splendor 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 steady the knees that shake.
Confortate manus dissolutas, et genua debilia roborate.
4 Say to those with a fearful heart, “Be strong, do not fear! Look, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”
Dicite pusillanimes: Confortamini, et nolite timere: ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis: Deus ipse veniet, et salvabit vos.
5 Then the eyes of the blind will see, and the ears of the deaf will hear.
Tunc aperientur oculi caecorum, et aures surdorum patebunt.
6 Then the lame man will leap like a deer, and the mute tongue will sing, for water breaks out in the Arabah, and streams in the wilderness.
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; in the habitation of jackals, where they once lay, will be grass with reeds and rushes.
Et quae erat arida, erit in stagnum, et sitiens in fontes aquarum. In cubilibus, in quibus prius dracones habitabant, orietur viror calami et iunci.
8 A highway will be there called The Holy Way. The unclean will not travel it. But it will be for him who walks in it. No fool will go on it.
Et erit ibi semita et via, et via sancta vocabitur: non transibit per eam pollutus, et haec erit vobis directa via, ita ut stulti non errent per eam.
9 No lion will be there, no ferocious beast will be 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 The ransomed of Yahweh will return and come with singing to Zion, and everlasting joy will be on their heads; gladness and joy will overtake them; 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.
