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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
