Izaija 55
1 Hej, vsi, ki ste žejni, pridite k vodam in tisti, ki nimate denarja; pridite, kupite in jejte; da, pridite, kupite vino in mleko, brez denarja in brez cene.
"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 Zakaj trošite denar za to, kar ni kruh? In svoj trud za to, kar ne nasičuje? Marljivo mi prisluhnite in jejte to, kar je dobro in naj se vaša duša razveseljuje v obilju.
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 Nagnite svoje uho in pridite k meni. Prisluhnite in vaša duša bo živela in z vami bom sklenil večno zavezo, celó zanesljive Davidove milosti.
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 Glej, izročil sem ga za pričo ljudstvu, voditelja in poveljnika ljudstvu.
Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Glej, poklical boš narod, ki ga nisi poznal in narodi, ki te niso poznali, bodo tekli k tebi zaradi Gospoda, tvojega Boga in zaradi Svetega Izraelovega, ker te je proslavil.
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 Iščite Gospoda, dokler se daje najti, kličite k njemu, dokler je blizu.
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
7 Naj zlobni zapusti svojo pot in nepravičen človek svoje misli in naj se vrne h Gospodu in se ga bo usmilil; in k našemu Bogu, kajti obilno bo odpustil.
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 Kajti moje misli niso vaše misli niti vaše poti niso moje poti, « govori Gospod.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says the LORD.
9 »Kajti kakor je nebo višje od zemlje, tako so moje poti višje od vaših poti in moje misli višje od vaših misli.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Kajti kakor dež prihaja dol in sneg z neba in se ne vrača tja, temveč zaliva zemljo in jo pripravlja, da poganja in brsti, da lahko da seme sejalcu in kruh jedcu,
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 tako bo moja beseda, ki gre ven iz mojih ust. Le-ta se k meni ne bo vrnila prazna, temveč bo le-ta dovršila to, kar mi ugaja in uspela v stvari, h kateri sem jo poslal.
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 Kajti ven boste odšli z radostjo in vodeni boste z mirom. Gore in hribi bodo izbruhnili pred vami s petjem in vsa poljska drevesa bodo ploskala s svojimi rokami.«
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 Namesto trnja bo zrasla cipresa in namesto osata bo pognalo mirtino drevo in to bo Gospodu v ime in za večno znamenje, ki ne bo iztrebljeno.
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."
