Yesaya 55
1 TUHAN berkata, "Marilah kamu semua yang haus, minumlah, air tersedia. Datanglah kamu yang tidak punya uang, terimalah gandum tanpa membayar, dan makanlah! Anggur dan susu tersedia, terimalah dengan cuma-cuma.
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.
2 Untuk apa membeli sesuatu yang tidak memuaskan, dan bekerja untuk apa yang tidak mengenyangkan? Turutlah perintah-Ku, maka kamu akan makan yang baik, dan menikmati hidangan yang lezat.
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.
3 Dengarlah, hai bangsa-Ku, datanglah kepada-Ku, kamu akan Kuberi hidup sejati. Demi kasih dan kesetiaan yang Kujanjikan kepada Daud, Aku mengikat janji abadi dengan kamu.
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.
4 Sesungguhnya, dia Kujadikan pemimpin dan panglima, saksi dari kuasa-Ku untuk bangsa-bangsa.
Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
5 Kamu akan memanggil bangsa-bangsa asing, dan mereka segera datang kepadamu, demi Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, Allah kudus Israel, sebab Aku telah mengagungkan kamu."
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.
6 Kembalilah kepada TUHAN selama masih dapat; berserulah kepada-Nya selama Ia dekat.
Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
7 Hendaklah orang jahat memperbaiki hidupnya, dan mengubah jalan pikirannya. Biarlah ia kembali kepada TUHAN, supaya mendapat belas kasihan-Nya. Hendaklah ia berpaling kepada Allah kita, sebab TUHAN mengampuni dengan murah hati.
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.
8 TUHAN berkata, "Pikiran-Ku bukan pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku bukan jalanmu.
For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
9 Setinggi langit di atas bumi, setinggi itulah pikiran-Ku di atas pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku di atas jalanmu.
But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
10 Seperti hujan turun dari langit, dan tidak kembali, melainkan membasahi bumi, menyuburkannya dan menumbuhkan tanam-tanaman, memberi hasil untuk ditabur dan dimakan,
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:
11 begitu juga perkataan yang Kuucapkan tidak kembali kepada-Ku dengan sia-sia, tetapi berhasil melakukan apa yang Kukehendaki, dan mencapai segala yang Kumaksudkan.
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.
12 Kamu akan meninggalkan Babel dengan sukacita, dan diantar keluar dengan selamat. Gunung dan bukit akan bergembira dan bersorak-sorai, pohon-pohon di ladang bertepuk tangan.
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.
13 Pohon cemara akan menggantikan semak berduri, tanaman bunga menggantikan semak belukar. Itu terjadi supaya Aku dimasyhurkan; sebagai tanda abadi yang tak akan hilang."
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.
