Isaiah 55
1 “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!
Hej, vsi, ki ste žejni, pridite k vodam in tisti, ki nimate denarja; pridite, kupite in jejte; da, pridite, kupite vino in mleko, brez denarja in brez cene.
2 Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods.
Zakaj trošite denar za to, kar ni kruh? In svoj trud za to, kar ne nasičuje? Marljivo mi prisluhnite in jejte to, kar je dobro in naj se vaša duša razveseljuje v obilju.
3 Incline your ear and come to Me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant— My loving devotion promised to David.
Nagnite svoje uho in pridite k meni. Prisluhnite in vaša duša bo živela in z vami bom sklenil večno zavezo, celó zanesljive Davidove milosti.
4 Behold, I have made him a witness to the nations, a leader and commander of the peoples.
Glej, izročil sem ga za pričo ljudstvu, voditelja in poveljnika ljudstvu.
5 Surely you will summon a nation you do not know, and nations who do not know you will run to you. For the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, has bestowed glory on you.”
Glej, poklical boš narod, ki ga nisi poznal in narodi, ki te niso poznali, bodo tekli k tebi zaradi Gospoda, tvojega Boga in zaradi Svetega Izraelovega, ker te je proslavil.
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near.
Iščite Gospoda, dokler se daje najti, kličite k njemu, dokler je blizu.
7 Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon.
Naj zlobni zapusti svojo pot in nepravičen človek svoje misli in naj se vrne h Gospodu in se ga bo usmilil; in k našemu Bogu, kajti obilno bo odpustil.
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,”
Kajti moje misli niso vaše misli niti vaše poti niso moje poti, « govori Gospod.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
»Kajti kakor je nebo višje od zemlje, tako so moje poti višje od vaših poti in moje misli višje od vaših misli.
10 For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
Kajti kakor dež prihaja dol in sneg z neba in se ne vrača tja, temveč zaliva zemljo in jo pripravlja, da poganja in brsti, da lahko da seme sejalcu in kruh jedcu,
11 so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.
tako bo moja beseda, ki gre ven iz mojih ust. Le-ta se k meni ne bo vrnila prazna, temveč bo le-ta dovršila to, kar mi ugaja in uspela v stvari, h kateri sem jo poslal.
12 You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Kajti ven boste odšli z radostjo in vodeni boste z mirom. Gore in hribi bodo izbruhnili pred vami s petjem in vsa poljska drevesa bodo ploskala s svojimi rokami.«
13 Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will spring up; they will make a name for the LORD, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”
Namesto trnja bo zrasla cipresa in namesto osata bo pognalo mirtino drevo in to bo Gospodu v ime in za večno znamenje, ki ne bo iztrebljeno.
