Isaiah 35

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

١ سَتَفْرَحُ الصَّحْرَاءُ وَالْقَفْرُ الأَجْرَدُ، وَتَبْتَهِجُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ وَتُزْهِرُ كَالْوَرْدِ.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice, even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the excellence of our God.

٢ تَزْدَهِرُ ازْدِهَاراً، وَتَبْتَهِجُ أَشَدَّ بَهْجَةٍ وَيُضْفَى عَلَيْهَا مَجْدُ لُبْنَانَ وَجَلالُ الْكَرْمَلِ وَشَارُونَ وَيَشْهَدُونَ مَجْدَ الرَّبِّ وَبَهَاءَ إِلَهِنَا.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

٣ شَدِّدُوا الأَيْدِي الْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَثَبِّتُوا الرُّكَبَ الْمُرْتَعِشَةَ.

4 Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a recompense; he will come and save you.

٤ قُولُوا لِذَوِي الْقُلُوبِ الْخَائِرَةِ: «تَقَوَّوْا وَلا تَفْزَعُوا، فَهَا هُوَ إِلَهُكُمْ قَادِمٌ، مُقْبِلٌ بِالنِّقْمَةِ، حَامِلٌ جَزَاءَهُ. سَيَأْتِي وَيُخَلِّصُكُمْ».

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

٥ عِنْدَئِذٍ تُبْصِرُ عُيُونُ الْمَكْفُوفِينَ وَتَنْفَتِحُ آذَانُ الصُّمِّ،

6 Then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

٦ وَيَطْفُرُ الأَعْرَجُ كَالظَّبْيِ، وَيَتَرَنَّمُ لِسَانُ الأَبْكَمِ فَرَحاً، إِذْ تَنْفَجِرُ الْمِيَاهُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَتَتَدَفَّقُ الْجَدَاوِلُ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ،

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall be] grass with reeds and rushes.

٧ وَيَتَحَوَّلُ السَّرَابُ إِلَى وَاحَةٍ، وَالأَرْضُ الْظَّمْأَى إِلَى جَدَاوِلَ. وَفِي الأَوْجِرَةِ حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تَأْوِي بَنَاتُ آوَى، يَنْمُو الْعُشْبُ وَالْقَصَبُ وَالْبَرْدِيُّ.

8 And a 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 way-faring men, though fools, shall not err [therein].

٨ وَتَكُونُ هُنَاكَ طَرِيقٌ تُدْعَى طَرِيقَ الْقَدَاسَةِ، لَا يَسْلُكُ فِيهَا مَنْ هُوَ دَنِسٌ، إِنَّمَا تَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ السَّالِكِينَ فِي تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقِ، وَلا يَضِلُّ فِيهَا حَتَّى الْجُهَّالُ.

9 No lion shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:

٩ لَا يَطْرُقُهَا أَسَدٌ، وَلا يَأْتِيهَا حَيَوَانٌ مُفْتَرِسٌ. إِنَّمَا يَسْلُكُ فِيهَا الْمَفْدِيُّونَ

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

١٠ وَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا مَفْدِيُّو الرَّبِّ وَيُقْبِلُونَ إِلَى صِهْيَوْنَ مُتَرَنِّمِينَ يُكَلِّلُ رُؤُوسَهُمْ فَرَحٌ أَبَدِيٌّ، وَتَغْمُرُهُمُ الْغِبْطَةُ وَالسُّرُورُ، وَيَهْرُبُ الْحُزْنُ وَالأَنِينُ.
