Isaiah 55
1 Come, everyone of you who's thirsty, come and drink the water! You who don't have money, come—you can buy and eat! Come and buy wine and milk—you don't need money; there's no 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 are you spending money on what isn't food, and why work for something that doesn't satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: eat what is good, and you'll enjoy the very best food.
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 Come here, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I'm going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed 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 See how I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for them.
Glej, izročil sem ga za pričo ljudstvu, voditelja in poveljnika ljudstvu.
5 You will call nations you don't even know, and nations who don't know you will come running to you. For the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, I made you glorious.
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 Look for the Lord while you can still find him; call out to him while he's nearby.
Iščite Gospoda, dokler se daje najti, kličite k njemu, dokler je blizu.
7 Wicked people should change their ways and get rid of even the thought of doing something wrong. They should turn to the Lord so he can be merciful to them. Come back to our God, because he's generous with his forgiveness.
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 your thoughts are not my thoughts; and your ways are not my ways, declares the Lord.
Kajti moje misli niso vaše misli niti vaše poti niso moje poti, « govori Gospod.
9 In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher 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 It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower 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 In the same way the words I say don't come back to me unfulfilled, they accomplish what I want—they successfully achieve my purpose.
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 live happily, taught the ways of peace. Mountains and hills will celebrate, singing beside you; and all the trees 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 Cypress trees will grow instead of thorn bushes; myrtle trees will grow instead of brambles. This is to confirm the Lord's reputation—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.
