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.
你們一切乾渴的都當就近水來； 沒有銀錢的也可以來。 你們都來，買了吃； 不用銀錢，不用價值， 也來買酒和奶。
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.
你們為何花錢買那不足為食物的？ 用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢？ 你們要留意聽我的話就能吃那美物， 得享肥甘，心中喜樂。
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.
你們當就近我來； 側耳而聽，就必得活。 我必與你們立永約， 就是應許大衛那可靠的恩典。
4 Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
我已立他作萬民的見證， 為萬民的君王和司令。
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.
你素不認識的國民，你也必召來； 素不認識你的國民也必向你奔跑， 都因耶和華－你的上帝以色列的聖者， 因為他已經榮耀你。
6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
當趁耶和華可尋找的時候尋找他， 相近的時候求告他。
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.
惡人當離棄自己的道路； 不義的人當除掉自己的意念。 歸向耶和華，耶和華就必憐恤他； 當歸向我們的上帝，因為上帝必廣行赦免。
8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
耶和華說：我的意念非同你們的意念； 我的道路非同你們的道路。
9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
天怎樣高過地， 照樣，我的道路高過你們的道路； 我的意念高過你們的意念。
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:
雨雪從天而降，並不返回， 卻滋潤地土，使地上發芽結實， 使撒種的有種，使要吃的有糧。
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.
我口所出的話也必如此， 決不徒然返回， 卻要成就我所喜悅的， 在我發他去成就的事上必然亨通。
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.
你們必歡歡喜喜而出來， 平平安安蒙引導。 大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱； 田野的樹木也都拍掌。
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.
松樹長出，代替荊棘； 番石榴長出，代替蒺藜。 這要為耶和華留名， 作為永遠的證據，不能剪除。
