Isaias 55
1 “Umaykayo, dakayo amin a mawaw, umaykayo iti danum! Ken, dakayo nga awan kuartana umaykayo, gumatangkayo ken mangankayo! Umaykayo, gumatangkayo iti arak ken gatas uray awan kuarta ken awan iti pagbayadyo.
“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!
2 Apay a mangtimbankayo iti pirak para iti saan a tinapay? Ken agtrabahokayo para iti saan a makapnek? Dumngegkayo a nasayaat kaniak ket mapnekayo, a kasla mangankayo iti kaimasan a taraon.
[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].
3 Dumngegkayo ket umaykayo kaniak! Dumngegkayo, tapno agbiagkayo! Pudno a makitulagak kadakayo iti agnanayon a tulag, iti napudno a tulag a naited kenni David.
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.
4 Kitaenyo, insaadko isuna a kas saksi kadagiti nasion, a kas pangulo ken mangidadaulo kadagiti tattao.
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].
5 Kitaenyo, umawagkayonto iti nasion a saanyo nga am-ammo; ken agtarayto nga agturong kadakayo ti nasion a saan a makaam-ammo kadakayo gapu kenni Yahweh a Diosyo, a Nasantoan ti Israel, a nangpadayaw kadakayo.”
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.
6 Birokenyo ni Yahweh kabayatan a mabirukan pay laeng isuna; umawagkayo kenkuana bayat nga asideg isuna.
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
7 Panawan koma ti nadangkes ti dalanna, ken ti managbasol a tao ti panunotna. Agsubli koma isuna kenni Yahweh, ket kaasiannanto isuna, ken iti Diostayo, a mangpakawanto kenkuana.
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].
8 “Ta ti panunotko ket saan a kas iti panunotmo, kasta met a dagiti wagasmo ket saanko a wagas—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh—
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.
9 ta no kasano a nangatngato dagiti langit ngem ti daga, kasta met a nangatngato dagiti wagasko ngem dagiti wagasmo, ken dagiti kapanunotak ngem dagiti kapanunotam.
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.
10 Ta no kasano nga agtinnag ti tudo ken niebe manipud langit ket saan nga agsubli sadiay no di ket sibuganda ti daga ket pagtuboenda ti bukel a lumangto ket mangipaay iti bukel kadagiti agmulmula ken tinapay kadagiti mangmangan,
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.
11 kastanto met ti sao a rummuar iti ngiwatko: saan daytoy nga agsubli kaniak nga awan serserbina, ngem tungpalen daytoy ti tarigagayko, ken agballiginto daytoy iti nangibaonak.
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].
12 Ta rummuarkayonto nga addaan rag-o ken maiturongkayonto a sitatalna; agpukkawto a sirarag-o dagiti bantay ken dagiti turod iti sangoananyo, ken agpalakpakto dagiti ima dagiti amin a kayo iti tay-ak.
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.
13 Imbes a dagiti sisiitan, agtubonto dagiti kayo; ken imbes a dagiti kalkalunay, agtubonto dagiti kayo nga arrayan, ket maipaayto daytoy kenni Yahweh, para iti naganna, a kas agnanayon a pagilasinan a saanto a mapukaw.”
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].”
