Ah, I hear my lover coming! He is leaping over the mountains, bounding over the hills.

听啊！是我良人的声音；看哪！他蹿山越岭而来。

听啊！我良人的声音，看哪！他穿山越岭而来。

听啊！我良人的声音，看哪！他穿山越岭而来。

听啊！是我良人的声音，他攀过高岗，跃过山丘，终于来了！

听啊！这是我良人的声音，他蹿山越岭而来。

聽啊！是我良人的聲音；看哪！他躥山越嶺而來。

啊，我愛人的聲音哪！看哪，他來啦！躥山越嶺呢！

又曰聽之、乃我所愛者之聲、彼逾山越陵而來、

越日我聞夫子之聲、譬彼麀鹿逾越山岡、踊躍而至、立於墻後、倚窗而望、由櫺而窺、

聽哉、此乃我良人之聲、正逾山越嶺而來、

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

“ Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success.

Before the dawn breezes blow and the night shadows flee, return to me, my love, like a gazelle or a young stag on the rugged mountains.

I slept, but my heart was awake, when I heard my lover knocking and calling:“ Open to me, my treasure, my darling, my dove, my perfect one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”

You will live in joy and peace. The mountains and hills will burst into song, and the trees of the field will clap their hands!Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where nettles grew, myrtles will sprout up. These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name; they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

So Paul called to him in a loud voice,“ Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking.

But as the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she was filled with contempt for him.

Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done this wondrous thing. Shout for joy, O depths of the earth! Break into song, O mountains and forests and every tree! For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and is glorified in Israel.

Did you not ridicule the people of Israel? Were they caught in the company of thieves that you should despise them as you do?

And I will make my mountains into level paths for them. The highways will be raised above the valleys.See, my people will return from far away, from lands to the north and west, and from as far south as Egypt.”Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted his people and will have compassion on them in their suffering.

Isaiah had spoken of John when he said,“ He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,‘ Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him!The valleys will be filled, and the mountains and hills made level. The curves will be straightened, and the rough places made smooth.And then all people will see the salvation sent from God.’”

After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!

Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting,“ Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God!Fill in the valleys, and level the mountains and hills. Straighten the curves, and smooth out the rough places.

The lame will leap like a deer, and those who cannot speak will sing for joy! Springs will gush forth in the wilderness, and streams will water the wasteland.

He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them.

When that happens, be happy! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, their ancestors treated the ancient prophets that same way.
