Liber Isaiae

Isaiae, chapter 35, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 35 Vulgate

   1 Laetentur deserta et invia, et exsultet solitudo et floreat quasi lilium.
   2 Germinet et exsultet laetabunda et laudans. Gloria Libani data est ei, decor Carmeli et Saron; ipsi videbunt gloriam Domini, maiestatem Dei nostri.
   3 Confortate manus dissolutas et genua debilia roborate.
   4 Dicite pusillanimis: "Confortamini, nolite timere! Ecce Deus vester, ultio veniet, retributio Dei; ipse veniet et salvabit vos".
   5 Tunc aperientur oculi caecorum, et aures surdorum patebunt.
   6 Tunc saliet sicut cervus claudus, et exsultabit lingua mutorum, quia erumpent in deserto aquae, et torrentes in solitudine.
   7 Et terra arida erit in stagnum, et sitiens in fontes aquarum; in cubilibus, in quibus dracones habitabant, erit locus calami et iunci.
   8 Et erit ibi semita et via; et via sancta vocabitur: non transibit per eam pollutus; et erit eis directa via, ita ut stulti non errent per eam.
   9 Non erit ibi leo, et rapax bestia non ascendet per eam nec invenietur ibi; et ambulabunt, qui liberati fuerint,
   10 et redempti a Domino revertentur. Et venient in Sion cum laude, et laetitia sempiterna super caput eorum: gaudium et laetitiam obtinebunt, et fugiet maeror et gemitus.

King James Version

   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.
