यशया 55
1 १ अहो सर्व तान्हेल्यांनो, पाण्याजवळ या! आणि ज्याच्याजवळ पैसा नाही, सर्व या, विकत घ्या आणि खा! या, पैश्याशिवाय व मोलाशिवाय मद्य आणि दूध घ्या.
“All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
2 २ जी भाकर नव्हे तिच्यासाठी तुम्ही चांदी का तोलून देता? आणि ज्याने समाधान होत नाही त्यासाठी श्रम का करता? माझे लक्षपूर्वक ऐका आणि जे चांगले आहे ते खा व मिष्टान्नात तुमचे जीवन आनंदीत होवो.
[What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
3 ३ तुम्ही कान द्या आणि माझ्याकडे या! ऐका, म्हणजे तुमचे जीवन जिवंत राहील! मी खरोखर तुमच्याबरोबर सर्वकाळचा करार करीन, विश्वासाची कृती करून दावीदाशी करार केला.
Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
5 ५ पाहा, तू राष्ट्र ओळखत नाहीस अशा राष्ट्राला तू बोलावशील आणि ज्या राष्ट्राला तुझी ओळख नाही ते तुजकडे धाव घेतील. कारण परमेश्वर तुझा देव, इस्राएलाचा पवित्र प्रभू, ज्याला तू गौरविले आहे याच्याकरता तुजकडे धाव घेतील.
And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
7 ७ दुष्ट आपला मार्ग व पापी मनुष्य आपले विचार सोडून देवो. तो परमेश्वराकडे माघारी येवो आणि तो त्यांच्यावर दया करील व तो आमच्या देवाकडे येवो, तो त्यांना विपुलपणे क्षमा करील.
Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
8 ८ कारण माझे विचार तुमचे विचार नाहीत, किंवा तुमचे मार्ग माझे मार्ग नाहीत. हे परमेश्वराचे म्हणणे आहे.
I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
9 ९ कारण जसे आकाश पृथ्वीपेक्षा उंच आहे तसे माझे मार्ग तुमच्या मार्गाहून आणि माझे विचार तुमच्या विचांरापेक्षा उंच आहेत.
Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
10 १० कारण जसे पाऊस आणि बर्फ आकाशातून खाली पडतात आणि पुन्हा भूमी भिजवल्याशिवाय आणि उत्पन्न करण्यास व अंकुर व पेरणाऱ्यास बीज आणि खाणाऱ्यास भाकर दिल्याशिवाय आकाशात परत जात नाही.
Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
11 ११ तसेच माझ्या तोंडातून निघालेले शब्द निरर्थक होऊन परत माझ्याकडे येणार नाही, परंतु जे मी इच्छिले ते पूर्ण करील आणि ज्यासाठी पाठवले ते यशस्वी होईल.
And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
12 १२ कारण तुम्ही आनंदाने बाहेर जाल आणि शांतीने चालवले जाल; तुमच्यापुढे डोंगर आणि टेकड्या आनंदाने जयघोष करतील आणि शेतांतील सर्व झाडे आनंदाने टाळ्या वाजवतील.
You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
13 १३ काटेरी झुडपाच्याऐवजी, सदाहरित वाढतील; आणि काट्याकुट्यांच्या जागी मेंदी उगवेल. आणि ते परमेश्वराच्या नावासाठी सर्वकाळचे चिन्ह होईल, ते कधीही नष्ट होणार नाही.
Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
