Isaiah 55
1 “All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
Ej, všickni žízniví, poďte k vodám, i vy, kteříž nemáte žádných peněz. Poďte, kupujte a jezte, poďte, pravím, kupujte bez peněz a bez záplaty víno a mléko.
2 [What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
Proč vynakládáte peníze ne za chléb, a práci svou za to, což nenasycuje? Poslechněte mne raději, a jezte to, což jest dobrého, a nechť se kochá v tuku duše vaše.
3 Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
Nakloňte ucha svého, a poďte ke mně, poslechněte, a budeť živa duše vaše; učiním zajisté s vámi smlouvu věčnou, milosrdenství Davidova přepevná.
4 By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
Aj, za svědka národům dal jsem jej, za vůdce a učitele národům.
5 And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
Aj, národu, k němužs se neznal, povoláš, a národové, kteříž tě neznali, k tobě se sběhnou, pro Hospodina Boha tvého, a Svatého Izraelského, nebo tě oslaví.
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Hledejte Hospodina, pokudž může nalezen býti; vzývejte ho, pokudž blízko jest.
7 Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
Opusť bezbožný cestu svou, a člověk nepravý myšlení svá, a nechť se navrátí k Hospodinu, i slitujeť se nad ním, a k Bohu našemu, nebť jest hojný k odpuštění.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
Nejsouť zajisté myšlení má jako myšlení vaše, ani cesty vaše jako cesty mé, praví Hospodin.
9 Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
Ale jakož vyšší jsou nebesa než země, tak převyšují cesty mé cesty vaše, a myšlení má myšlení vaše.
10 Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
Nebo jakož prší déšť neb sníh s nebe, a zase se tam nenavracuje, ale napájí zemi, a činí ji plodistvou a úrodnou, tak že vydává símě rozsívajícímu, a chléb jedoucímu,
11 And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
Tak bude slovo mé, kteréž vyjde z úst mých. Nenavrátí se ke mně prázdné, ale učiní to, což mi se líbí, a prospěšně to vykoná, k čemuž je posílám.
12 You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
A protož s veselím vyjdete, a v pokoji sprovozeni budete. Hory i pahrbkové zvučně naproti vám prozpěvovati budou, a všecko dříví polní rukama plésati bude.
13 Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
Místo chrastiny vzejde jedlé, a místo hloží vyroste myrtus, a bude to Hospodinu k slávě, na znamení věčné, kteréž nebude vyhlazeno.
