< Jesajas 55 >
1 Nu tad, visi iztvīkušie, nāciet pie ūdens, un kam naudas nav, nāciet, pērciet un ēdiet, nāciet un pērciet bez naudas un bez maksas, vīnu un pienu.
All you that thirst, come to the waters: and you that have no money make haste, buy, and eat: come ye, buy wine and milk without money, and without any price.
2 Kāpēc jūs naudu nosverat par to, kas maize nav, un savu pelņu par to, no kā nevar paēst? Klausāties, klausāties uz Mani tad baudīsiet labumu un jūsu dvēsele atspirdzināsies taukumos.
Why do you spend money for that which is not breed, and your labour for that which doth not satisfy you? Hearken diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and your soul shall be delighted in fatness.
3 Griežat šurp savu ausi un nāciet pie Manis, klausiet, tad jūsu dvēsele dzīvos! Jo Es jums celšu mūžīgu derību: Dāvida pastāvīgās apžēlošanas.
Incline your ear and come to me: hear and your soul shall lire, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the faithful mercies of David.
4 Redzi, Es viņu esmu iecēlis tautām par liecinieku, tautām par virsnieku un valdītāju.
Behold I have given him for a witness to the people, for a leader and a master to the Gentiles.
5 Redzi, tu sauksi tautas, ko nepazini, un ļaudis, kas tevi nepazina, pie tevis steigsies, Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, Israēla Svētā, dēļ, jo Tas tevi pagodinājis.
Behold thou shalt call a nation, which thou knewest not: and the nations that knew not thee shall run to thee, because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
6 Meklējiet To Kungu, kamēr Tas atrodams, piesauciet Viņu, kamēr Tas tuvu.
Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found: call upon him, while he is near.
7 Lai bezdievīgais atstāj savu ceļu un ļaundarītājs savas domas un atgriežas pie Tā Kunga, tad Viņš par to apžēlosies un pie mūsu Dieva, jo pie Viņa ir daudz piedošanas.
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.
8 Jo Manas domas nav jūsu domas un jūsu ceļi nav Mani ceļi, saka Tas Kungs.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 Jo tā kā debesis augstākas nekā zeme, tā Mani ceļi augstāki nekā jūsu ceļi, un Manas domas nekā jūsu domas.
For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10 Jo tā kā lietus un sniegs nāk no debesīm un turp neatgriežas, bet slapina zemi un dara to auglīgu un zaļojam, ka tā dod sēklu sējējam un maizi ēdējam,
And as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and return no more thither, but soak the earth, and water it, and make it to spring, and give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 Tāpat būs Mans vārds, kas iziet no Manas mutes; tas neatgriezīsies pie Manis tukšs, bet darīs, kas Man patīk, un izdosies labi, par ko Es to sūtu.
So shall my word be, which shall go forth from my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall do whatsoever I please, and shall prosper in the things for which I sent it.
12 Jo ar prieku jūs iziesiet un ar mieru jūs tapsiet vadīti, kalni un pakalni jūsu priekšā gavilēs gavilēdami, un visi koki laukā plaukšķinās.
For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall sing praise before yen, and all the trees of the country shall clap their hands.
13 Ērkšķu vietā uzaugs priedes, un dadžu vietā uzaugs mirtes, un tas Tam Kungam būs par slavu un par mūžīgu zīmi, kas netaps izdeldēta.
Instead of the shrub, shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the nettle, shall come up the myrtle tree: and the Lord shall be named for an everlasting sign, that shall not be taken away.
