''Isaiah 40:3-9'' | ''Isaiah 40:3-9'' | ||
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, | |||
make straight in the desert | |||
a highway for our God. | |||
Ev'ry valley shall be exalted | |||
and ev'ry mountain and hill shall be made low, | |||
and the crooked shall be made straight | |||
and the rough places shall be made plain. | |||
And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed | |||
and all flesh shall see it together. | |||
And the voice said cry, (What shall I cry?) | |||
all flesh is grass, and the goodliness thereof | |||
is as a flower that is in the field. | |||
The grass withereth, the flower fadeth, | |||
but the word of the Lord shall stand fast forever. | |||
O Zion, that bringeth glad tidings, | |||
get thee up into the montains. | |||
O Jerusalem, that bringeth glad tidings | |||
lift up thy voice with strength | |||
and say unto Judah, "behold thy God". | |||

''Jesaja 40, 3-9'' | ''Jesaja 40, 3-9'' | ||
Bereitet dem Herrn den Weg, | |||
macht in der Wüste | |||
eine Bahn unserm Gott. | |||
Alle Täler sollen erhöht werden, | |||
und alle Berge und Hügel sollen erniedrigt werden, | |||
und was uneben ist, soll gerade, | |||
und was hügelig ist, soll eben werden. | |||
Und die Herrlichkeit des Herrn soll offenbart werden, | |||
und alles Fleisch miteinander wird es sehen. | |||
Es spricht eine Stimme: Predige! (Was soll ich predigen?) | |||
Alles Fleisch ist Gras, und alle seine Güte | |||
ist wie eine Blume auf dem Felde. | |||
Das Gras verdorrt, die Blume verwelkt, | |||
aber das Wort unseres Gottes bleibt ewiglich. | |||
O Zion, die du Freude bringst, | |||
steig auf einen hohen Berg; | |||
Jerusalem, du Freudenbotin, | |||
erhebe deine Stimme mit Macht. | |||
Sage den Städten Judas: Siehe, da ist euer Gott. | |||
