Yeşaya 35
1 Çöl ve kurak toprak sevinecek, Bozkır coşup çiğdem gibi çiçeklenecek.
[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,
2 Her yanı çiçeklenip sevinçle coşacak, Sevincini haykıracak. Lübnan'ın yüceliği, Karmel ve Şaron'un görkemi ona verilecek. İnsanlar RAB'bin yüceliğini, Tanrımız'ın görkemini görecek.
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.
3 Gevşek elleri güçlendirin, Pekiştirin çözülen dizleri.
[So], encourage those who are tired and weak.
4 Yüreği kaygılı olanlara, “Güçlü olun, korkmayın” deyin, “İşte Tanrınız geliyor! Öç almaya, karşılık vermeye geliyor. Sizi O kurtaracak.”
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.”
5 O zaman körlerin gözleri, Sağırların kulakları açılacak;
When he does that, [he will enable] blind people to see and [enable] deaf people to hear.
6 Topallar geyik gibi sıçrayacak, Sevinçle haykıracak dilsizlerin dili. Çünkü çölde sular fışkıracak, Irmaklar akacak bozkırda.
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.
7 Kızgın kum havuza, Susuz toprak pınara dönüşecek. Çakalların yattığı yerlerde Kamış, saz ve ot bitecek.
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.
8 Orada bir yol, bir anayol olacak, “Kutsal yol” diye anılacak, Murdar kişiler geçemeyecek oradan. O yol kurtulmuş olanların yoludur. O yolda yürüyenler, bön kişiler de olsa yoldan sapmayacak.
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.
9 Aslan olmayacak orada, Yırtıcı hayvan o yola çıkmayacak; Orada bulunmayacaklar. Ancak kurtulmuş olanlar yürüyecek o yolda.
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.
10 RAB'bin kurtardıkları dönecek, Sevinçle haykırarak Siyon'a varacaklar. Yüzlerinde sonsuz sevinç olacak. Onların olacak coşku ve sevinç, Üzüntü ve inilti kaçacak.
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].
