以賽亞書

第 35 章

1. 曠野和乾旱之地、必然歡喜．沙漠也必快樂．又像玫瑰開花。
The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,
2. 必開花繁盛、樂上加樂、而且歡呼．利巴嫩的榮耀、並迦密與沙崙的華美、必賜給他．人必看見耶和華的榮耀、我們　神的華美。
it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.
3. 你們要使軟弱的手堅壯、無力的膝穩固。
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;
4. 對膽怯的人說、你們要剛強、不要懼怕．看哪、你們的　神必來報仇、必來施行極大的報應、他必來拯救你們。
say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
5. 那時瞎子的眼必睜開、聾子的耳必開通。
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6. 那時瘸子必跳躍像鹿、啞吧的舌頭必能歌唱．在曠野必有水發出、在沙漠必有河湧流。
Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
7. 發光的沙、〔或作蜃樓〕要變為水池、乾渴之地、要變為泉源．在野狗躺臥之處、必有青草、蘆葦、和蒲草。
The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
8. 在那裡必有一條大道、稱為聖路．污穢人不得經過、必專為贖民行走、行路的人雖愚昧、也不至失迷。
And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.
9. 在那裡必沒有獅子、猛獸也不登這路、在那裡都遇不見．只有贖民在那裡行走。
No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there,
10. 並且耶和華救贖的民必歸回、歌唱來到錫安．永樂必歸到他們的頭上、他們必得著歡喜快樂、憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.
