Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsts, come all of you to the waters, and he that has no money; come all of you, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
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 Wherefore do all of you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat all of you that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
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 come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 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 given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
我已立他作万民的见证， 为万民的君王和司令。
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew not you shall run unto you because of the LORD your God, and for 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 all of you the LORD while he may be found, call all of you 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 wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
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, neither are your ways 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 as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than 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 For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
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 shall my word be that goes 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.
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 all of you 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.
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 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 the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
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。
