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.
Todos los sedientos, vengan a las aguas. Y los que no tienen dinero, vengan, compren y coman. Vengan, compren sin dinero vino y leche, sin dinero y sin costo.
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.
¿Por qué gastan el dinero en lo que no es pan, y su trabajo en lo que no sacia? Escúchenme atentamente. Coman lo bueno y deléitese su vida con abundancia.
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.
Inclinen su oído y vengan a Mí. Escuchen, y vivirá su alma. Yo haré con ustedes un Pacto eterno, las misericordias fieles prometidas a David.
4 See, I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a ruler and a guide to the nations.
Ciertamente lo designé como testigo a los pueblos, como jefe y maestro de las naciones.
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.
Mira, llamarás a gente que no conoces. Gente que no te conocía correrá hacia ti por causa de Yavé tu ʼElohim, es decir, del Santo de Israel, porque te glorificó.
6 Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near:
Busquen a Yavé mientras puede ser hallado. Invóquenlo mientras está cerca.
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.
Deje el perverso su camino y el inicuo, sus pensamientos. Vuélvase a Yavé, Quien tendrá misericordia de él, y a nuestro ʼElohim, porque Él perdonará ampliamente.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord.
Porque mis pensamientos no son sus pensamientos, ni sus caminos, mis caminos, dice Yavé.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Porque como los cielos son más altos que la tierra, así mis caminos son más altos que sus caminos, y mis pensamientos más que sus pensamientos.
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;
Porque como la lluvia y la nieve bajan del cielo y no vuelven allá, sino riegan la tierra, la impulsan a germinar, producir y dar semilla al que siembra y pan al que come,
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.
así será la Palabra que sale de mi boca. No volverá a Mí vacía, sino hará lo que Yo quiero y cumplirá aquello para lo cual la envié.
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.
Porque con alegría saldrán y con paz serán dirigidos. Las montañas y las colinas prorrumpirán en gritos de júbilo delante de ustedes, y todos los árboles del campo batirán las manos.
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.
Crecerá ciprés en lugar de la zarza, y en lugar de la ortiga, el arrayán. Será para Yavé como memorial, como señal eterna que no será quitada.
