Isaiah 55
1 Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.
你們一切乾渴的都當就近水來； 沒有銀錢的也可以來。 你們都來，買了吃； 不用銀錢，不用價值， 也來買酒和奶。
2 Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.
你們為何花錢買那不足為食物的？ 用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢？ 你們要留意聽我的話就能吃那美物， 得享肥甘，心中喜樂。
3 Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.
你們當就近我來； 側耳而聽，就必得活。 我必與你們立永約， 就是應許大衛那可靠的恩典。
4 See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.
我已立他作萬民的見證， 為萬民的君王和司令。
5 See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.
你素不認識的國民，你也必召來； 素不認識你的國民也必向你奔跑， 都因耶和華－你的上帝以色列的聖者， 因為他已經榮耀你。
6 Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:
當趁耶和華可尋找的時候尋找他， 相近的時候求告他。
7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
惡人當離棄自己的道路； 不義的人當除掉自己的意念。 歸向耶和華，耶和華就必憐恤他； 當歸向我們的上帝，因為上帝必廣行赦免。
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.
耶和華說：我的意念非同你們的意念； 我的道路非同你們的道路。
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
天怎樣高過地， 照樣，我的道路高過你們的道路； 我的意念高過你們的意念。
10 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;
雨雪從天而降，並不返回， 卻滋潤地土，使地上發芽結實， 使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。
11 So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.
我口所出的話也必如此， 決不徒然返回， 卻要成就我所喜悅的， 在我發他去成就的事上必然亨通。
12 For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.
你們必歡歡喜喜而出來， 平平安安蒙引導。 大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱； 田野的樹木也都拍掌。
13 In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.
松樹長出，代替荊棘； 番石榴長出，代替蒺藜。 這要為耶和華留名， 作為永遠的證據，不能剪除。
