1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3 ¶ Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein . 9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
1 laetabitur deserta et invia
et exultabit solitudo et florebit quasi lilium
2 germinans germinabit et exultabit laetabunda et laudans
gloria Libani data est ei decor Carmeli et Saron
ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini et decorem Dei nostri
3 confortate manus dissolutas et genua debilia roborate
4 dicite pusillanimis confortamini nolite timere
ecce Deus vester ultionem adducet retributionis Deus
ipse veniet et salvabit vos
5 tunc aperientur oculi caecorum et aures surdorum patebunt
6 tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus et aperta erit lingua mutorum
quia scissae sunt in deserto aquae et torrentes in solitudine
7 et quae erat arida in stagnum
et sitiens in fontes aquarum
in cubilibus in quibus prius dracones habitabant
orietur viror calami et iunci
8 et erit ibi semita et via et via sancta vocabitur
non transibit per eam pollutus
et haec erit nobis directa via ita ut stulti non errent per
eam
9 non erit ibi leo et mala bestia non ascendet per eam nec invenietur ibi
et ambulabunt qui liberati fuerint
10 et redempti a Domino
convertentur et venient in Sion cum laude
et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum
gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt et fugiet dolor et gemitus
