以賽亞書 55
1 啊！凡口渴的，請到水泉來！那沒有錢的，也請來罷！請來買不花錢，不索值的酒和奶吃！
Alle that thirsten, come ye to watris, and ye han not siluer, haaste, bie ye, and ete ye; come ye, bie ye, with out siluer and with outen ony chaungyng, wyn and mylk.
2 你們為什麼為那些不能充食的東西花錢，為那些不足果腹的東西浪費薪金呢﹖你們若細心聽我，你們就能吃豐美的食物，你們的心靈必因脂膏而喜悅。
Whi peisen ye siluer, and not in looues, and youre trauel, not in fulnesse? Ye herynge here me, and ete ye good, and youre soule schal delite in fatnesse.
3 你們如側耳，走近我前來聽，你們必將獲得生命；我要與你們訂立一項永久的盟約，即誓許於達味的慈惠。
Bowe ye youre eere, and `come ye to me; here ye, and youre soule schal lyue; and Y schal smyte with you a couenaunt euerlastynge, the feithful mercies of Dauid.
4 看，我立了你為萬民的證人，為列國的領袖與主宰。
Lo! Y yaf hym a witnesse to puplis, a duyk and a comaundour to folkis.
5 看哪！你要召見你不認識的民族，不曾認識你的民族也要奔向你；這都是為了上主你的天主，為了那光榮了你的以色列的聖者的緣故。
Lo! thou schalt clepe folkis, whiche thou knewist not; and folkis, that knewen not thee, schulen renne to thee; for thi Lord God, and the hooli of Israel, for he glorifiede thee.
6 趁上主可找到的時候，你們應尋找他；趁他在近處的時候，你們應呼求他。
Seke ye the Lord, while he mai be foundun; clepe ye hym to help, while he is niy.
7 罪人應離開自己的行徑，惡人該拋棄自己的思念，來歸附上主，好讓上主憐憫他；來歸附我們的天主，因為他是富於仁慈的。
An vnfeithful man forsake his weie, and a wickid man forsake hise thouytis; and turne he ayen to the Lord, and he schal haue merci on hym, and to oure God, for he is myche to foryyue.
8 因為我的思念不是你們的思念，你們的行徑也不是我的行徑：上主的斷語。
For why my thouytis ben not youre thouytis, and my weies ben not youre weies, seith the Lord.
9 就如天離地有多高，我的行徑離你們的行徑，我的思念離你們的思念也有多高。
For as heuenys ben reisid fro erthe, so my weies ben reisid fro youre weies, and my thouytis fro youre thouytis.
10 譬如雨和雪從天降下，不再返回原處，只有灌溉田地，使之生長萌芽，償還播種者種子，供給吃飯者食糧；
And as reyn and snow cometh doun fro heuene, and turneth no more ayen thidur, but it fillith the erthe, and bischedith it, and makith it to buriowne, and yyueth seed to hym that sowith, and breed to hym that etith,
11 同樣，從我口中發出的言語，不能空空地回到我這裏來；反之，它必實行我的旨意，完成我派遣它的使命。
so schal be my word, that schal go out of my mouth. It schal not turne ayen voide to me, but it schal do what euer thingis Y wolde, and it schal haue prosperite in these thingis to whiche Y sente it.
12 的確，你們必要喜歡地出來，平安地為上主所引導，高山丘陵必在你們面前高呼歡騰，田間所有的樹木必要鼓掌。
For ye schulen go out in gladnesse, and ye schulen be led forth in pees; mounteyns and litil hillis schulen synge heriynge bifore you, and alle the trees of the cuntrei schulen make ioie with hond.
13 松柏要長起來代替荊棘，桃金娘要生出來代替苧麻：這將為上主留名，作為一座不能磨滅的永久紀念碑。
A fir tre schal grow for a firse, and a mirte tre schal wexe for a nettil; and the Lord schal be nemyd in to a signe euerlastynge, that schal not be doon awei.
