- 55:1 Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, And you who have no money; Come, buy and eat; Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
喂!你们一切干渴的都当就近水来,没有银钱的也可以来;你们都来,买了吃;不用银钱,不用价值,也来买酒和奶。
- 55:2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And the result of your labor for what does not satisfy? Hear Me attentively, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in fatness.
你们为何花钱买那不是食物的,用劳碌得来的买那不能使人饱足的呢?你们要留意听我的话,就能吃那美物,使你们的魂享肥甘得喜乐。
- 55:3 Incline your ear and come to Me; Hear, so that your soul may live; And I will make an eternal covenant with you, Even the sure mercies shown to David.
你们要到我这里来,侧耳而听,你们的魂就必得活;我必与你们立永远的约,就是向大卫所显确定的怜悯。
- 55:4 Indeed, I have given Him as a Witness to the peoples, A Leader and a Commander to the peoples.
我已立祂向众民作见证人,为众民的领袖和司令。
- 55:5 Indeed, you will call a nation that you do not know, And a nation that does not know you will run to you, Because of Jehovah your God, even the Holy One of Israel, For He has glorified you.
看哪,你素不认识的国民,你要召来;素不认识你的国民,也必向你奔跑,都因耶和华你的神,就是以色列的圣者,因为祂已经荣耀你。
- 55:6 Seek Jehovah while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找祂,相近的时候呼求祂。
- 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the evildoer, his thoughts; And let him return to Jehovah, and He will have compassion on him; And to our God, for He will pardon abundantly.
恶人当离弃自己的道路,作孽的人当弃绝自己的意念,归向耶和华,耶和华就必怜恤他;当归向我们的神,因为祂必广行赦免。
- 55:8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, And your ways are not My ways, declares Jehovah.
耶和华说,我的意念并非你们的意念,你们的道路并非我的道路。
- 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So My ways are higher than your ways, And My thoughts higher than your thoughts.
天怎样高过地,照样我的道路高过你们的道路,我的意念高过你们的意念。
- 55:10 For just as the rain comes down And the snow from heaven, And does not return there, Until it waters the earth And makes it bear and sprout forth, That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
就如雨雪从天而降,并不返回,却滋润地土,使地发芽结实,使撒种的有种,使要吃的有粮;
- 55:11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me vainly, But it will accomplish what I delight in, And it will prosper in the matter to which I have sent it.
我口所出的话也必如此,绝不徒然返回,却要成就我所喜悦的,在我所打发去成就的事上必然亨通。
- 55:12 For you will go out with rejoicing, And you will be led forth in peace; The mountains and the hills Will break forth before you with a ringing shout, And all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
你们必欢欢喜喜的出来,平平安安的蒙引导;大山小山必在你们面前发声欢呼,田野的树木也都拍掌。
- 55:13 In place of the thornbush, the fir tree will come up; In place of the brier, the myrtle will come up; And it will be to Jehovah as a name, As an eternal sign that will not be cut off.
松树要长起代替荆棘;番石榴要长起代替蒺藜;这要为耶和华留名,作为永远的记号,不能剪除。
