Isaiah 35

1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; 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 shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of our God.

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

3 Strengthen the weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.

٣ شَدِّدُوا الأَيْدِي الْمُسْتَرْخِيَةَ، وَثَبِّتُوا الرُّكَبَ الْمُرْتَعِشَةَ.

4 Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, 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 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 sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.

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

7 And the mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, 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 through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even 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 shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor 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 Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, 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.
