¹

Be glad, thou thirsty desert: let the wilderness exult, and flower as the lily.

¹

Ра́дꙋйсѧ, пꙋсты́нѧ жа́ждꙋщаѧ, да весели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ и҆ да цвѣте́тъ ꙗ҆́кѡ крі́нъ.

²

And the desert places of Jordan shall blossom and rejoice; the glory of Libanus has been given to it, and the honour of Carmel; and my people shall see the glory of the Lord, and the majesty of God.

²

И҆ процвѣте́тъ и҆ возвесели́тсѧ пꙋсты́нѧ і҆ѻрда́нова: и҆ сла́ва лїва́нова даде́сѧ є҆́й, и҆ че́сть карми́лова, и҆ оу҆́зрѧтъ лю́дїе моѝ сла́вꙋ гдⷭ҇ню и҆ высотꙋ̀ бж҃їю.

³

Be strong, ye relaxed hands and palsied knees.

³

Оу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, рꙋ́цѣ ѡ҆сла́блєныѧ и҆ кѡлѣ́на разсла́блєнаѧ:

⁴

Comfort one another, ye faint-hearted; be strong, fear not; behold, our God renders judgment, and he will render it; he will come and save us.

⁴

оу҆тѣ́шитесѧ, малодꙋ́шнїи оу҆мо́мъ, оу҆крѣпи́тесѧ, не бо́йтесѧ: сѐ, бг҃ъ на́шъ сꙋ́дъ воздае́тъ и҆ возда́стъ, то́й прїи́детъ и҆ сп҃се́тъ на́съ.

⁵

Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall hear.

⁵

Тогда̀ ѿве́рзꙋтсѧ ѻ҆́чи слѣпы́хъ, и҆ оу҆́ши глꙋхи́хъ оу҆слы́шатъ.

⁶

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the stammerers shall speak plainly; for water has burst forth in the desert, and a channel of water in a thirsty land.

⁶

Тогда̀ ско́читъ хромы́й ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ле́нь, и҆ ꙗ҆́сенъ бꙋ́детъ ѧ҆зы́къ гꙋгни́выхъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ прото́ржесѧ вода̀ въ пꙋсты́ни и҆ де́брь въ землѝ жа́ждꙋщей.

⁷

And the dry land shall become pools, and a fountain of water shall be poured into the thirsty land; there shall there be a joy of birds, ready habitations and marshes.

⁷

И҆ безво́днаѧ бꙋ́детъ во є҆зе́ра, и҆ на жа́ждꙋщей землѝ и҆сто́чникъ водны́й бꙋ́детъ: та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ весе́лїе пти́цамъ, и҆ сели́тва тро́сти, и҆ лꙋ́зи.

⁸

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

⁸

И҆ та́мѡ бꙋ́детъ пꙋ́ть чи́стъ, и҆ пꙋ́ть ст҃ъ нарѣче́тсѧ: и҆ не пре́йдетъ та́мѡ нечи́стый, нижѐ бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ пꙋ́ть нечи́стъ: разсѣ́ѧннїи же по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆ не заблꙋ́дѧтъ.

⁹

And there shall be no lion there, neither shall any evil beast go up upon it, nor at all be found there; but the redeemed and gathered on the Lord's behalf, shall walk in it,

⁹

И҆ не бꙋ́детъ та́мѡ льва̀, ни ѿ ѕвѣре́й ѕлы́хъ не взы́детъ на́нь, нижѐ ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ та́мѡ, но по́йдꙋтъ по немꙋ̀ и҆зба́вленнїи:

¹⁰

and shall return, and come to Sion with joy, and everlasting joy shall be over their head; for on their head shall be praise and exultation, and joy shall take possession of them: sorrow and pain, and groaning have fled away.

¹⁰

и҆ со́браннїи гдⷭ҇емъ ѡ҆братѧ́тсѧ и҆ прїи́дꙋтъ въ сїѡ́нъ съ ра́достїю, и҆ ра́дость вѣ́чнаѧ над̾ главо́ю и҆́хъ: над̾ главо́ю бо и҆́хъ хвала̀ и҆ весе́лїе, и҆ ра́дость прїи́метъ ѧ҆̀, ѿбѣжѐ болѣ́знь и҆ печа́ль и҆ воздыха́нїе.
