Isaiah 55
1 “Behold, every thirsty one, Come to the waters, And he who has no money, Come, buy and eat, Indeed, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without 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 Why do you weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labor for that which is not for satiety? Listen diligently to Me, and eat good, And your soul delights itself in fatness.
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 Incline your ear, and come to Me, Hear, and your soul lives, And I make a perpetual covenant for you, The kind blessings of David that are steadfast.
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 given him [as] a witness to peoples, A leader and commander to peoples.
我已立他作萬民的見證， 為萬民的君王和司令。
5 Behold, a nation you do not know, you call, And a nation who does not know you runs to you, For the sake of your God YHWH, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He has beautified 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 YHWH while He may be found, Call Him while He is near,
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 wicked forsake his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returns to YHWH, And He pities him, And to our God, For He multiplies to pardon.
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 thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways,” A declaration of YHWH,
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 “For [as] high [as] the heavens have been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.
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 the shower comes down, And the snow from the heavens, And does not return there, But has watered the earth, And has caused it to yield, and to spring up, And has given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
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 is My word that goes out of My mouth, It does not return to Me empty, But has done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.
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 go forth with joy, And you are brought in with peace, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
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 Instead of the thorn comes up fir, Instead of the brier comes up myrtle, And it has been to YHWH for a name, For a perpetual sign—it is not cut off!”
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。
