< Isaiah 55 >
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
o omnes sitientes venite ad aquas et qui non habetis argentum properate emite et comedite venite emite absque argento et absque ulla commutatione vinum et lac
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
quare adpenditis argentum non in panibus et laborem vestrum non in saturitate audite audientes me et comedite bonum et delectabitur in crassitudine anima vestra
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
inclinate aurem vestram et venite ad me audite et vivet anima vestra et feriam vobis pactum sempiternum misericordias David fideles
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
ecce testem populis dedi eum ducem ac praeceptorem gentibus
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of YHWH thy Elohim, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
ecce gentem quam nesciebas vocabis et gentes quae non cognoverunt te ad te current propter Dominum Deum tuum et Sanctum Israhel quia glorificavit te
6 Seek ye YHWH while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
quaerite Dominum dum inveniri potest invocate eum dum prope est
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto YHWH, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our Elohim, for he will abundantly pardon.
derelinquat impius viam suam et vir iniquus cogitationes suas et revertatur ad Dominum et miserebitur eius et ad Deum nostrum quoniam multus est ad ignoscendum
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith YHWH.
non enim cogitationes meae cogitationes vestrae neque viae vestrae viae meae dicit Dominus
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
quia sicut exaltantur caeli a terra sic exaltatae sunt viae meae a viis vestris et cogitationes meae a cogitationibus vestris
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
et quomodo descendit imber et nix de caelo et illuc ultra non revertitur sed inebriat terram et infundit eam et germinare eam facit et dat semen serenti et panem comedenti
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
sic erit verbum meum quod egredietur de ore meo non revertetur ad me vacuum sed faciet quaecumque volui et prosperabitur in his ad quae misi illud
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
quia in laetitia egrediemini et in pace deducemini montes et colles cantabunt coram vobis laudem et omnia ligna regionis plaudent manu
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to YHWH for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
pro saliunca ascendet abies et pro urtica crescet myrtus et erit Dominus nominatus in signum aeternum quod non auferetur
