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!
Жаждущии, идите на воду, и елицы не имате сребра, шедше купите, и ядите (и пийте) без сребра и цены вино и тук.
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].
Вскую цените сребро не в хлебы, и труд ваш не в сытость? Послушайте Мене, и снесте благая, и насладится во благих душа ваша.
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.
Внемлите ушима вашима и последуйте путем Моим: послушайте Мене, и жива будет во благих душа ваша, и завещаю вам завет вечен, преподобная Давидова верная.
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].
Се, свидетелство во языцех дах Его, князя и повелителя языком.
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.
Се, языцы, иже не ведяху тебе, призовут тя, и людие, иже не познаша тебе, ко тебе прибегнут ради Господа Бога твоего, Святаго Израилева, яко прослави тя.
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Взыщите Господа, и внегда обрести вам Того, призовите: егда же приближится к вам,
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].
да оставит нечестивый пути своя, и муж беззаконен советы своя, и да обратится ко Господу, и помилован будет, яко попремногу оставит грехи вашя.
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.
Не суть бо совети Мои якоже совети ваши, ниже якоже путие ваши путие Мои, глаголет Господь.
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.
Но якоже отстоит небо от земли, тако отстоит путь Мой от путий ваших, и помышления ваша от мысли Моея.
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.
Якоже бо аще снидет дождь или снег с небесе, и не возвратится, дондеже напоит землю, и родит, и прозябнет, и даст семя сеющему и хлеб в снедь:
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].
тако будет глаголгол Мой, иже аще изыдет из уст Моих, не возвратится ко Мне тощь, дондеже совершит (вся), елика восхотех, и поспешу пути твоя и заповеди Моя.
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.
Со веселием бо изыдете и с радостию научитеся: горы бо и холми возскачут ждуще вас с радостию, и вся древеса селная восплещут ветвьми:
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].”
и вместо драчия взыдет кипарис, и вместо кропивы взыдет мирсина: и будет Господь во имя и во знамение вечное, и не оскудеет.
