Isaiah 35
1 The desolate and impassable land will rejoice, and the place of solitude will exult, and it will flourish like the lily.
曠野和乾旱之地必然歡喜； 沙漠也必快樂； 又像玫瑰開花，
2 It will spring up and blossom, and it will exult with rejoicing and praising. The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, with the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. These will see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
必開花繁盛， 樂上加樂，而且歡呼。 黎巴嫩的榮耀， 並迦密與沙崙的華美，必賜給它。 人必看見耶和華的榮耀， 我們上帝的華美。
3 Strengthen the lax hands, and confirm the weak knees!
你們要使軟弱的手堅壯， 無力的膝穩固。
4 Say to the fainthearted: “Take courage and fear not! Behold, your God will bring the vindication of retribution. God himself will arrive to save you.”
對膽怯的人說： 你們要剛強，不要懼怕。 看哪，你們的上帝必來報仇， 必來施行極大的報應； 他必來拯救你們。
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be cleared.
那時，瞎子的眼必睜開； 聾子的耳必開通。
6 Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.
那時，瘸子必跳躍像鹿； 啞巴的舌頭必能歌唱。 在曠野必有水發出； 在沙漠必有河湧流。
7 And the land that was dry will have a pond, and the thirsty land will have fountains of water. In the hollows where the serpents lived before, there will rise up the greenery of reed and bulrush.
發光的沙要變為水池； 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。
8 And there shall be a path and a road in that place. And it will be called the Holy Way. The defiled will not pass through it. For this will be an upright path for you, so much so that the foolish will not wander along it.
在那裏必有一條大道， 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， 也不致失迷。
9 There will be no lions in that place, and harmful wild animals will neither climb up to it, nor be found there. Only those who have been freed will walk in that place.
在那裏必沒有獅子， 猛獸也不登這路； 在那裏都遇不見， 只有贖民在那裏行走。
10 And the redeemed of the Lord will be converted, and they will return to Zion with praising. And everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and rejoicing. For pain and sorrow will flee away.
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； 他們必得着歡喜快樂， 憂愁歎息盡都逃避。
