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.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4 Sesungguhnya, dia Kujadikan pemimpin dan panglima, saksi dari kuasa-Ku untuk bangsa-bangsa.
Behold, I have given him [as] a witness to peoples, A leader and commander to peoples.
5 Kamu akan memanggil bangsa-bangsa asing, dan mereka segera datang kepadamu, demi Aku, TUHAN Allahmu, Allah kudus Israel, sebab Aku telah mengagungkan kamu."
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.”
6 Kembalilah kepada TUHAN selama masih dapat; berserulah kepada-Nya selama Ia dekat.
Seek YHWH while He may be found, Call Him while He is near,
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 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.
8 TUHAN berkata, "Pikiran-Ku bukan pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku bukan jalanmu.
“For My thoughts [are] not your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways,” A declaration of YHWH,
9 Setinggi langit di atas bumi, setinggi itulah pikiran-Ku di atas pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku di atas jalanmu.
“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.
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 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,
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 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.
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 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.
13 Pohon cemara akan menggantikan semak berduri, tanaman bunga menggantikan semak belukar. Itu terjadi supaya Aku dimasyhurkan; sebagai tanda abadi yang tak akan hilang."
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!”
