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.
Come, everyone of you who's thirsty, come and drink the water! You who don't have money, come—you can buy and eat! Come and buy wine and milk—you don't need money; there's no cost!
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 are you spending money on what isn't food, and why work for something that doesn't satisfy you? Listen carefully to me: eat what is good, and you'll enjoy the very best food.
3 Griežat šurp savu ausi un nāciet pie Manis, klausiet, tad jūsu dvēsele dzīvos! Jo Es jums celšu mūžīgu derību: Dāvida pastāvīgās apžēlošanas.
Come here, and pay attention, so you can truly live. I'm going to make an agreement with you that will last forever, based on the trustworthy love I showed to David.
4 Redzi, Es viņu esmu iecēlis tautām par liecinieku, tautām par virsnieku un valdītāju.
See how I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for them.
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.
You will call nations you don't even know, and nations who don't know you will come running to you. For the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, I made you glorious.
6 Meklējiet To Kungu, kamēr Tas atrodams, piesauciet Viņu, kamēr Tas tuvu.
Look for the Lord while you can still find him; call out to him while he's nearby.
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.
Wicked people should change their ways and get rid of even the thought of doing something wrong. They should turn to the Lord so he can be merciful to them. Come back to our God, because he's generous with his forgiveness.
8 Jo Manas domas nav jūsu domas un jūsu ceļi nav Mani ceļi, saka Tas Kungs.
For your thoughts are not my thoughts; and your ways are not my ways, declares the Lord.
9 Jo tā kā debesis augstākas nekā zeme, tā Mani ceļi augstāki nekā jūsu ceļi, un Manas domas nekā jūsu domas.
In the same way the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than 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,
It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower and food to eat.
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.
In the same way the words I say don't come back to me unfulfilled, they accomplish what I want—they successfully achieve my purpose.
12 Jo ar prieku jūs iziesiet un ar mieru jūs tapsiet vadīti, kalni un pakalni jūsu priekšā gavilēs gavilēdami, un visi koki laukā plaukšķinās.
You will live happily, taught the ways of peace. Mountains and hills will celebrate, singing beside you; and all the trees will 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.
Cypress trees will grow instead of thorn bushes; myrtle trees will grow instead of brambles. This is to confirm the Lord's reputation—an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.
