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.
"Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters. Come, he who has no money, buy, and eat. Yes, 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 spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which doesn't satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat you that which is good, and let your soul delight 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.
Turn your ear, and come to me; hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful kindnesses of David.
4 Sesungguhnya, dia Kujadikan pemimpin dan panglima, saksi dari kuasa-Ku untuk bangsa-bangsa.
Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the 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."
Look, you shall call a nation that you do not know; and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
6 Kembalilah kepada TUHAN selama masih dapat; berserulah kepada-Nya selama Ia dekat.
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call you on 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 unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 TUHAN berkata, "Pikiran-Ku bukan pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku bukan jalanmu.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says the LORD.
9 Setinggi langit di atas bumi, setinggi itulah pikiran-Ku di atas pikiranmu, dan jalan-Ku di atas jalanmu.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than 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 rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn't return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives 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 shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
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 out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields shall clap their hands.
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 shall come up the fir tree; and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
