| 1 | The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. | Le désert et le pays aride se réjouiront! La solitude sera dans l'allégresse, et fleurira comme le lis. | The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; 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. | Elle fleurira, et elle sera dans l'allégresse; elle poussera des cris de joie et des chants de triomphe! La gloire du Liban, la magnificence de Carmel et de Saron lui est donnée. Ils verront la gloire de l'Éternel, la magnificence de notre Dieu. | 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 Jehovah, the excellency of our God. |
| 3 | Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. | Fortifiez les mains languissantes; affermissez les genoux tremblants! | 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. | Dites à ceux qui ont le coeur troublé: Prenez courage et ne craignez plus! voici votre Dieu! La vengeance viendra, la rétribution de Dieu.

| 5 | Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. | Alors les yeux des aveugles seront ouverts, et les oreilles des sourds seront débouchées. | 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. | Alors le boiteux sautera comme un cerf, et la langue du muet chantera de joie. Car des eaux jailliront au désert, et des torrents dans la solitude. | Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall 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. | Le lieu aride se changera en étang, et la terre altérée en source d'eau. Le lieu où les chacals avaient leur gîte, sera un parc de roseaux et de joncs. | And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they 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. | Et il y aura là une route et un chemin, qui s'appellera le chemin de la sainteté. Celui qui est souillé n'y passera point; mais il sera pour eux seuls: ceux qui marcheront dans ce chemin, même les insensés, ne s'égareront point. | And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for [the redeemed]: the wayfaring men, yea 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: | Il n'y aura point là de lion; les bêtes farouches n'y monteront pas, et ne s'y trouveront point; mais les rachetés y marcheront. | No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they 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. | Et ceux dont l'Éternel aura payé la rançon, retourneront et viendront en Sion avec un chant de triomphe; une allégresse éternelle sera sur leur tête. Ils obtiendront la joie et l'allégresse; la douleur et le gémissement s'enfuiront. | and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. |
