Esias 55

1 You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.

١ تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْعِطَاشُ جَمِيعاً إِلَى الْمِيَاهِ، وَهَلُمُّوا أَيُّهَا الْمُعْدَمُونَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، ابْتَاعُوا وَكُلُوا، ابْتَاعُوا خَمْراً وَلَبَناً مَجَّاناً مِنْ غَيْرِ فِضَّةٍ.

2 Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.

٢ لِمَاذَا تُنْفِقُونَ الْفِضَّةَ عَلَى مَا لَيْسَ بِخُبْزٍ، وَتَتْعَبُونَ لِغَيْرِ شَبَعٍ؟ أَحْسِنُوا الاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيَّ، وَكُلُوا الشَّهِيَّ وَلْتَتَمَتَّعْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ بِالدَّسَمِ.

3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.

٣ أَرْهِفُوا السَّمْعَ وَتَعَالَوْا إِلَيَّ؛ أَصْغُوا فَتَحْيَا نُفُوسُكُمْ، وَأُعَاهِدَكُمْ عَهْداً أَبَدِيًّا، هِيَ مَرَاحِمُ دَاوُدَ الثَّابِتَةُ الأَمِينَةُ

4 Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.

٤ هَا أَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ شَاهِداً لِلشُّعُوبِ زَعِيماً وَقَائِداً لِلأُمَمِ.

5 Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.

٥ انْظُرْ، إِنَّكَ تَدْعُو أُمَماً لَا تَعْرِفُهَا، وَتَسْعَى إِلَيْكَ أُمَمٌ لَمْ تَعْرِفْكَ، بِفَضْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، وَمِنْ أَجْلِ قُدُّوسِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُ قَدْ مَجَّدَكَ.

6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,

٦ اطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ مَادَامَ مَوْجُوداً، ادْعُوهُ وَهُوَ قَرِيبٌ.

7 let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.

٧ لِيَتْرُكِ الشِّرِّيرُ طَرِيقَهُ وَالأَثِيمُ أَفْكَارَهُ، وَلْيَتُبْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ فَيَرْحَمَهُ، وَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِنَا لأَنَّهُ يُكْثِرُ الْغُفْرَانَ.

8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.

٨ لأَنَّ أَفْكَارِي لَيْسَتْ مُمَاثِلَةً لأَفْكَارِكُمْ، وَلا طُرُقَكُمْ مِثْلُ طُرُقِي، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

٩ فَكَمَا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، كَذَلِكَ ارْتَفَعَتْ طُرُقِي عَنْ طُرُقِكُمْ، وَأَفْكَارِي عَنْ أَفْكَارِكُمْ.

10 For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:

١٠ وَكَمَا تَهْطِلُ الأَمْطَارُ وَيَنْهَمِرُ الثَّلْجُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَلا تَرْجِعُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ، بَلْ تُرْوِي الْحُقُولَ وَالأَشْجَارَ، وَتَجْعَلُ الْبُذُورَ تُنْبِتُ وَتَنْمُو وَتُثْمِرُ زَرْعاً لِلزَّارِعِ وَخُبْزاً لِلْجِيَاعِ،

11 so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.

١١ هَكَذَا تَكُونُ كَلِمَتِي الَّتِي تَصْدُرُ عَنِّي مُثْمِرَةً دَائِماً، وَتُحَقِّقُ مَا أَرْغَبُ فِيهِ وَتُفْلِحُ بِمَا أَعْهَدُ بِهِ إِلَيْهَا.

12 For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.

١٢ لأَنَّكُمْ سَتَتْرُكُونَ بَابِلَ بِفَرَحٍ وَسَلامٍ فَتَتَرَنَّمُ الْجِبَالُ وَالتِّلالُ أَمَامَكُمْ بَهْجَةً وَتُصَفِّقُ أَشْجَارُ الْحَقْلِ بِأَيْدِيهَا غِبْطَةً،

13 And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

١٣ وَحَيْثُ كَانَ الشَّوْكُ وَالْقُرَّاصُ، تَنْمُو أَشْجَارُ السَّرْوِ وَالآسِ: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ تَخْلِيداً لاسْمِ الرَّبِّ وَعَلامَةً أَبَدِيَّةً لَا تُمْحَى.
