Isaiah 55
1 All you who thirst, come to the waters. And you who have no money: hurry, buy and eat. Approach, buy wine and milk, without money and without barter.
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。
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and expend your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen very closely to me, and eat what is good, and then your soul will be delighted by a full measure.
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。
3 Incline your ear and draw near to me. Listen, and your soul will live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, by the faithful mercies of David.
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。
4 Behold, I have presented him as a witness to the people, as a commander and instructor to the nations.
我已立他作万民的见证， 为万民的君王和司令。
5 Behold, you will call to a nation that you did not know. And nations that did not know you will rush to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
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。
6 Seek the Lord, while he is able to be found. Call upon him, while he is near.
当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找他， 相近的时候求告他。
7 Let the impious one abandon his way, and the iniquitous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will take pity on him, and to our God, for he is great in forgiveness.
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。
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says the Lord.
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。
9 For just as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so also are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
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。
10 And in the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there, but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry,
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。
11 so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
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。
12 For you will go forth rejoicing, and you will be led forward in peace. The mountains and the hills will sing praise before you, and all the trees of the countryside will clap their hands.
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。
13 In place of the shrub, the pine tree will arise, and in place of the nettle, the myrtle tree will grow. And the Lord will be named with an eternal sign, which will not be taken away.
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。
