Isaías 55
1 Todos los sedientos, vengan a las aguas. Y los que no tienen dinero, vengan, compren y coman. Vengan, compren sin dinero vino y leche, sin dinero y sin costo.
All you who thirst, come to the waters. And you who have no money: hurry, buy and eat. Approach, buy wine and milk, without money and without barter.
2 ¿Por qué gastan el dinero en lo que no es pan, y su trabajo en lo que no sacia? Escúchenme atentamente. Coman lo bueno y deléitese su vida con abundancia.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and expend your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen very closely to me, and eat what is good, and then your soul will be delighted by a full measure.
3 Inclinen su oído y vengan a Mí. Escuchen, y vivirá su alma. Yo haré con ustedes un Pacto eterno, las misericordias fieles prometidas a David.
Incline your ear and draw near to me. Listen, and your soul will live. And I will make an everlasting covenant with you, by the faithful mercies of David.
4 Ciertamente lo designé como testigo a los pueblos, como jefe y maestro de las naciones.
Behold, I have presented him as a witness to the people, as a commander and instructor to the nations.
5 Mira, llamarás a gente que no conoces. Gente que no te conocía correrá hacia ti por causa de Yavé tu ʼElohim, es decir, del Santo de Israel, porque te glorificó.
Behold, you will call to a nation that you did not know. And nations that did not know you will rush to you, because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel. For he has glorified you.
6 Busquen a Yavé mientras puede ser hallado. Invóquenlo mientras está cerca.
Seek the Lord, while he is able to be found. Call upon him, while he is near.
7 Deje el perverso su camino y el inicuo, sus pensamientos. Vuélvase a Yavé, Quien tendrá misericordia de él, y a nuestro ʼElohim, porque Él perdonará ampliamente.
Let the impious one abandon his way, and the iniquitous man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will take pity on him, and to our God, for he is great in forgiveness.
8 Porque mis pensamientos no son sus pensamientos, ni sus caminos, mis caminos, dice Yavé.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways, says the Lord.
9 Porque como los cielos son más altos que la tierra, así mis caminos son más altos que sus caminos, y mis pensamientos más que sus pensamientos.
For just as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so also are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts.
10 Porque como la lluvia y la nieve bajan del cielo y no vuelven allá, sino riegan la tierra, la impulsan a germinar, producir y dar semilla al que siembra y pan al que come,
And in the same manner as rain and snow descend from heaven, and no longer return there, but soak the earth, and water it, and cause it to bloom and to provide seed to the sower and bread to the hungry,
11 así será la Palabra que sale de mi boca. No volverá a Mí vacía, sino hará lo que Yo quiero y cumplirá aquello para lo cual la envié.
so also will my word be, which will go forth from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish whatever I will, and it will prosper in the tasks for which I sent it.
12 Porque con alegría saldrán y con paz serán dirigidos. Las montañas y las colinas prorrumpirán en gritos de júbilo delante de ustedes, y todos los árboles del campo batirán las manos.
For you will go forth rejoicing, and you will be led forward in peace. The mountains and the hills will sing praise before you, and all the trees of the countryside will clap their hands.
13 Crecerá ciprés en lugar de la zarza, y en lugar de la ortiga, el arrayán. Será para Yavé como memorial, como señal eterna que no será quitada.
In place of the shrub, the pine tree will arise, and in place of the nettle, the myrtle tree will grow. And the Lord will be named with an eternal sign, which will not be taken away.
