以赛亚书 55
1 你们一切干渴的都当就近水来； 没有银钱的也可以来。 你们都来，买了吃； 不用银钱，不用价值， 也来买酒和奶。
You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.
2 你们为何花钱买那不足为食物的？ 用劳碌得来的买那不使人饱足的呢？ 你们要留意听我的话就能吃那美物， 得享肥甘，心中喜乐。
Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.
3 你们当就近我来； 侧耳而听，就必得活。 我必与你们立永约， 就是应许大卫那可靠的恩典。
Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.
4 我已立他作万民的见证， 为万民的君王和司令。
Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
5 你素不认识的国民，你也必召来； 素不认识你的国民也必向你奔跑， 都因耶和华—你的 神以色列的圣者， 因为他已经荣耀你。
Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
6 当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找他， 相近的时候求告他。
Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
7 恶人当离弃自己的道路； 不义的人当除掉自己的意念。 归向耶和华，耶和华就必怜恤他； 当归向我们的 神，因为 神必广行赦免。
let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.
8 耶和华说：我的意念非同你们的意念； 我的道路非同你们的道路。
For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
9 天怎样高过地， 照样，我的道路高过你们的道路； 我的意念高过你们的意念。
But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
10 雨雪从天而降，并不返回， 却滋润地土，使地上发芽结实， 使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。
For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:
11 我口所出的话也必如此， 决不徒然返回， 却要成就我所喜悦的， 在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。
so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.
12 你们必欢欢喜喜而出来， 平平安安蒙引导。 大山小山必在你们面前发声歌唱； 田野的树木也都拍掌。
For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.
13 松树长出，代替荆棘； 番石榴长出，代替蒺藜。 这要为耶和华留名， 作为永远的证据，不能剪除。
And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
