Isaiah 35

yesusum midbar vetsiyyah vetagel aravah vetifrakh kakhavatsalet

The arid desert shall be glad, The wilderness shall rejoice And shall blossom like a rose.

paroakh tifrakh vetagel af gilat verannen kevod hallevanon nittan-lah hadar hakkarmel vehasharon hemmah yiru khevod-Adonai hadar elohenu

It shall blossom abundantly, It shall also exult and shout. It shall receive the glory of Lebanon, The splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall behold the glory of GOD, The splendor of our God.

khazzequ yadayim rafot uvirkayim koshelot ammetsu

Strengthen the hands that are slack; Make firm the tottering knees!

imru lenimhare-lev khizqu al-tira'u hinneh elohekhem naqam yavo gemul elohim hu yavo veyosha'akhem

Say to the anxious of heart, “Be strong, fear not; Behold your God! Requital is coming, The recompense of God— Who is indeed coming to give you triumph.”

az tippaqakhnah ene ivrim ve'ozne khereshim tippatakhnah

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

az yedalleg ka'ayyal pisseakh vetaron leshon illem ki-nivqe'u vammidbar mayim unekhalim ba'aravah

Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb shall shout aloud; For waters shall burst forth in the desert, Streams in the wilderness.

vehayah hasharav la'agam vetsimma'on lemabbu'e mayim binveh tannim rivtsah khatsir leqaneh vagome

Torrid earth shall become a pool; Parched land, fountains of water; The home of jackals, a pasture; The abode [of ostriches], reeds and rushes.

vehayah-sham maslul vaderekh vederekh haqqodesh yiqqare lah lo-ya'avrennu tame vehu-lamo holekh derekh ve'evilim lo yitu

And a highway shall appear there, Which shall be called the Sacred Way. No one impure shall pass along it, But it shall be for them. No traveler, not even fools, shall go astray.

lo-yihyeh sham aryeh uferits khayyot bal-ya'alennah lo timmatse sham vehalekhu ge'ulim

No lion shall be there, No ferocious beast shall set foot on it— These shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk it;

ufeduye Adonai yeshuvun uva'u tsiyyon berinnah vesimkhat olam al-rosham sason vesimkhah yassigu venasu yagon va'anakhah

And GOD’s ransomed shall return, And come with shouting to Zion, Crowned with joy everlasting. They shall attain joy and gladness, While sorrow and sighing flee.
