Isa 35:1-10.
英文原文
Isa 35:1-10.
CONTINUATION OF THE PROPHECY IN THE THIRTY-FOURTH CHAPTER.
See on
Isa 34:1,
introduction there.
1. solitary place--literally, "a dry place," without springs of water. A moral wilderness is meant.
for them--namely, on account of the punishment inflicted according to the preceding prophecy on the enemy; probably the blessings set forth in this chapter are included in the causes for joy
(Isa 55:12).
rose--rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so Syriac translation.

2. glory of Lebanon——它的裝飾，即它的香柏樹
(Isa 10:34).
excellency of Carmel——即它的秀美。
Sharon——以肥沃著稱。
see . . . glory of the Lord . . . excellency——
(Isa 40:5, 9).
既無「榮耀」也無「威嚴」的曠野將二者都「得著」，而主將一切的「榮耀」與「威嚴」歸於祂自己，不歸於改變後的曠野
(Mt 5:16).
英文原文
2. glory of Lebanon--its ornament, namely, its cedars
(Isa 10:34).
excellency of Carmel--namely, its beauty.
Sharon--famed for its fertility.
see . . . glory of the Lord . . . excellency--
(Isa 40:5, 9).
While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to Him, not to the transformed wilderness
(Mt 5:16).

3. Strengthen . . . hands . . . confirm . . . knees——希伯來文「堅固」一詞指存於手中用以緊握、剛強持物之力；「穩固」則指人站穩陣腳、不為他人所動搖的堅定 [MAURER]。當以所應許的福分鼓勵如今灰心的猶大人。
英文原文
3. Strengthen . . . hands . . . confirm . . . knees--The Hebrew for "strengthen" refers to the strength residing in the hand for grasping and holding a thing manfully; "confirm," to the firmness with which one keeps his ground, so as not to be dislodged by any other [MAURER]. Encourage the Jews, now desponding, by the assurance of the blessings promised.

4. fearful——「急躁」，旁注；即心因激動而撲騰。
with——希伯來文比英文譯本更有力：「神必來，報應！就是神，施行報應！」意思相同。
英文原文
4. fearful--"hasty," Margin; that is, with a heart fluttered with agitation.
with--the Hebrew is more forcible than the English Version: "God will come, vengeance! even God, a recompense!" The sense is the same.

5, 6. 比喻性的語言，描述因脫離亞述和巴比倫而有的喜樂；字面上則真實適用於彌賽亞及其神蹟的預表時代（見旁注參考，
Mt 11:5;
Lu 7:2;
2Jo 5, 8;
Ac 3:2).
英文原文
5, 6. Language figuratively, descriptive of the joy felt at the deliverance from Assyria and Babylon; literally, true of the antitypical times of Messiah and His miracles (see Margin references,
Mt 11:5; Lu 7:2; 2Jo 5, 8; Ac 3:2).

無標題
6. leap——字面作「成就了」
(Ac 3:8; 14:10).

in . . . wilderness . . . waters——
(Isa 41:18).

(Isa 41:18).

7. parched ground——不如作「海市蜃樓（希伯來文 Sharab，「日頭的炎熱」）必成為（真正的）池子」。正午時分，陽光在熾熱的沙上折射，給人水湖的幻象，常欺騙乾渴的旅客（比較
Jer 2:13;
Isa 41:18).
dragons——不如作「豺狼」。
each——即豺狼。
grass——不如作「蘆葦等的居所或容身之處（對應前文的居所）」
（蘆葦只生長在有水之處，
Job 8:11).
曾經無水之處，水必豐盛。
英文原文
7. parched ground--rather, "the mirage (Hebrew, Sharab, 'the sun's heat') shall become a (real) lake." The sun's rays refracted on the glowing sands at midday give the appearance of a lake of water and often deceive the thirsty traveller (compare
Jer 2:13; Isa 41:18).
dragons--rather, "jackals."
each--namely, jackal.
grass--rather, "a dwelling or receptacle (answering to the previous habitation) for reeds," &c. (which only grow where there is water,
Job 8:11).
Where once there was no water, water shall abound.

8. highway——即為行軍而設的那種堤道（高起之路，源於希伯來文「堆起」之字根）；谷被填平，山與其他障礙被除去
(Isa 62:10；
並比較
Isa 40:3, 4)。
way of holiness——希伯來語法，意即「聖路」。HORSLEY 譯作「聖者的路」；但其後的文字及
Isa 35:10
表明這是一條領贖民歸回耶路撒冷的路，包括字面與屬天的耶路撒冷
(Isa 52:1; Joe 3:17; Re 21:27)；
並且基督再臨時仍是路上的領路者，因此這路稱為「耶和華的道路」
(Isa 40:3; Mal 3:1)。
it shall be for those: the wayfaring men——宜作「祂（那聖者）必與他們同行在路上」〔HORSLEY〕。
though fools——宜作「（就是）愚昧人」，即愚蒙人也不致走差，因為「祂必與他們同在」
(Mt 11:25; 1Co 1:26-28)。
英文原文
8. highway--such a causeway (raised way, from a Hebrew root, "to cast up") as was used for the march of armies; valleys being filled up, hills and other obstructions removed
(Isa 62:10;
compare
Isa 40:3, 4).
way of holiness--Hebraism for "the holy way." HORSLEY translates, "the way of the Holy One;" but the words that follow, and
Isa 35:10,
show it is the way leading the redeemed back to Jerusalem, both the literal and the heavenly
(Isa 52:1; Joe 3:17; Re 21:27);
still Christ at His coming again shall be the Leader on the way, for which reason it is called, "The way of the Lord"
(Isa 40:3; Mal 3:1).
it shall be for those: the wayfaring men--rather, "He (the Holy One) shall be with them, walking in the way" [HORSLEY].
though fools--rather, "And (even) fools," that is, the simple shall not go astray, namely, because "He shall be with them"
(Mt 11:25; 1Co 1:26-28).

9. No lion——即在歸回猶大、穿越那野獸氾濫的曠野路上可能懼怕的獅子。歸回之民的一切危險都必被除去
(Isa 11:6-9; Eze 34:25; Ho 2:18)。
試從屬靈上比較
Pr 3:17。
英文原文
9. No lion--such as might be feared on the way through the wilderness which abounded in wild beasts, back to Judea. Every danger shall be warded off the returning people
(Isa 11:6-9; Eze 34:25; Ho 2:18).
Compare spiritually,
Pr 3:17.

無標題
10. 此語：字面上適用於從巴比倫歸回；比喻且更完全地適用於字面與屬靈以色列完全的救贖。
joy upon . . . heads——
(Ps 126:2)。
喜樂彰顯在他們的面容上。有人想像這是暗指在公眾喜慶時「在頭上」澆油，或戴花冠的習俗
(Ec 9:8)。
英文原文
10. Language: literally, applying to the return from Babylon; figuratively and more fully to the completed redemption of both literal and spiritual Israel.
joy upon . . . heads--
(Ps 126:2).
Joy manifested in their countenances. Some fancy an allusion to the custom of pouring oil "upon the head," or wearing chaplets in times of public festivity
(Ec 9:8).
Isa 35:1-10.
第三十四章預言的延續。
見
Isa 34:1
處的導論。
1. solitary place——字面作「乾旱之地」，沒有水泉。所指乃道德上的荒野。
for them——即因前一預言中所宣告加於仇敵的刑罰之故；大概本章所述的福分也包括在喜樂的原因之內
(Isa 55:12).
rose——不如譯作「秋番紅花」，一種秋季開花、根部球狀的植物；敘利亞文譯本亦如此。
