Yesterday we had a wonderful Silence Ministry’s event at our church, with presentations made by the deaf/dumb themselves. For my Brazilian Sign Language course, being there took 2 hours from my supervised training, required to finish this semester.

There I heard a beautiful Hebrew song. It was just instrumental, my prefered song style, and in Hebrew, that’s something fascinating to me. It is a hymn of Isaiah 40:1-3. Finally, it’s beautiful!

Nachamu, nachamu ami - Leonardo Gonçalves

Nachamu, nachamu ami
Dabru al lev Yerushalayim
Vekiru eleha
Ki mala tsevaa ki nirtsa avona ki lakcha kichlaym bechol chatotecha
Kol koré bamidbar
Panu dérech ADONAI
Yashru baarava
Messilah IEloheinu

“Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God. Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her punishment, That she hath received from the hand of JEHOVAH Double for all her sins. A voice is crying — in a wilderness — Prepare ye the way of JEHOVAH, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God.” (Isaiah 40:1-3)
