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.
“Hey! 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 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 bread, and your labor for that which doesn’t satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in richness.
3 Griežat šurp savu ausi un nāciet pie Manis, klausiet, tad jūsu dvēsele dzīvos! Jo Es jums celšu mūžīgu derību: Dāvida pastāvīgās apžēlošanas.
Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure 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 peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
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, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that didn’t know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.”
6 Meklējiet To Kungu, kamēr Tas atrodams, piesauciet Viņu, kamēr Tas tuvu.
Seek Yahweh while he may be found. Call on 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 unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him, to our God, for he will freely pardon.
8 Jo Manas domas nav jūsu domas un jūsu ceļi nav Mani ceļi, saka Tas Kungs.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,” says Yahweh.
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 higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts 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,
For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives 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 is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.
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 out with peace. The mountains and the hills will break out before you into singing; and all the trees of the fields 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.
Instead of the thorn the cypress tree will come up; and instead of the brier the myrtle tree will come up. It will make a name for Yahweh, for an everlasting sign that will not be cut off.”
