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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Glej, izročil sem ga za pričo ljudstvu, voditelja in poveljnika ljudstvu.
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.
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 Seek ye YHWH while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Iščite Gospoda, dokler se daje najti, kličite k njemu, dokler je blizu.
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.
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 my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith YHWH.
Kajti moje misli niso vaše misli niti vaše poti niso moje poti, « govori Gospod.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts 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 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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
