Jesaja 35 | New International Reader’s Version

The joy of the Lord’s people

1 The desert and the dry ground will be glad. The dry places will be full of joy. Flowers will grow there. Like the first crocus in the spring,

2 the desert will bloom with flowers. It will be very glad and shout for joy. The glorious beauty of Lebanon will be given to it. It will be as beautiful as the rich lands of Carmel and Sharon. Everyone will see the glory of the LORD. They will see the beauty of our God.

3 Strengthen the hands of those who are weak. Help those whose knees give way.

4 Say to those whose hearts are afraid, ‘Be strong and do not fear. Your God will come. He will pay your enemies back. He will come to save you.’

5 Then the eyes of those who are blind will be opened. The ears of those who can’t hear will be unplugged.

6 Those who can’t walk will leap like a deer. And those who can’t speak will shout for joy. Water will pour out in dry places. Streams will flow in the desert.

7 The burning sand will become a pool of water. The thirsty ground will become bubbling springs. In the places where wild dogs once lay down, tall grass and papyrus will grow.

8 A wide road will go through the land. It will be called the Way of Holiness. Only those who lead a holy life can use it. ‘Unclean’ and foolish people can’t walk on it.

9 No lions will use it. No hungry wild animals will be on it. None of them will be there. Only people who have been set free will walk on it.

10 Those the LORD has saved will return to their land. They will sing as they enter the city of Zion. Joy that lasts for ever will be like beautiful crowns on their heads. They will be filled with gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing will be gone.

Kutsal Kitap Yeni Çeviri

Rab'bin Egemenliği

1 Çöl ve kurak toprak sevinecek, Bozkır coşup çiğdem gibi çiçeklenecek.

2 Her yanı çiçeklenip sevinçle coşacak, Sevincini haykıracak. Lübnan'ın yüceliği, Karmel ve Şaron'un görkemi ona verilecek. İnsanlar RAB'bin yüceliğini, Tanrımız'ın görkemini görecek.

3 Gevşek elleri güçlendirin, Pekiştirin çözülen dizleri.

4 Yüreği kaygılı olanlara, ‹‹Güçlü olun, korkmayın›› deyin, ‹‹İşte Tanrınız geliyor! Öç almaya, karşılık vermeye geliyor. Sizi O kurtaracak.››

5 O zaman körlerin gözleri, Sağırların kulakları açılacak;

6 Topallar geyik gibi sıçrayacak, Sevinçle haykıracak dilsizlerin dili. Çünkü çölde sular fışkıracak, Irmaklar akacak bozkırda.

7 Kızgın kum havuza, Susuz toprak pınara dönüşecek. Çakalların yattığı yerlerde Kamış, saz ve ot bitecek.

8 Orada bir yol, bir anayol olacak, ‹‹Kutsal yol›› diye anılacak, Murdar kişiler geçemeyecek oradan. O yol kurtulmuş olanların yoludur. O yolda yürüyenler, bön kişiler de olsa yoldan sapmayacak.

9 Aslan olmayacak orada, Yırtıcı hayvan o yola çıkmayacak; Orada bulunmayacaklar. Ancak kurtulmuş olanlar yürüyecek o yolda.

10 RAB'bin kurtardıkları dönecek, Sevinçle haykırarak Siyon'a varacaklar. Yüzlerinde sonsuz sevinç olacak. Onların olacak coşku ve sevinç, Üzüntü ve inilti kaçacak.
