< Isaiah 55 >

1 Alle that thirsten, come ye to watris, and ye han not siluer, haaste, bie ye, and ete ye; come ye, bie ye, with out siluer and with outen ony chaungyng, wyn and mylk.
你們一切乾渴的都當就近水來; 沒有銀錢的也可以來。 你們都來,買了吃; 不用銀錢,不用價值, 也來買酒和奶。
2 Whi peisen ye siluer, and not in looues, and youre trauel, not in fulnesse? Ye herynge here me, and ete ye good, and youre soule schal delite in fatnesse.
你們為何花錢買那不足為食物的? 用勞碌得來的買那不使人飽足的呢? 你們要留意聽我的話就能吃那美物, 得享肥甘,心中喜樂。
3 Bowe ye youre eere, and `come ye to me; here ye, and youre soule schal lyue; and Y schal smyte with you a couenaunt euerlastynge, the feithful mercies of Dauid.
你們當就近我來; 側耳而聽,就必得活。 我必與你們立永約, 就是應許大衛那可靠的恩典。
4 Lo! Y yaf hym a witnesse to puplis, a duyk and a comaundour to folkis.
我已立他作萬民的見證, 為萬民的君王和司令。
5 Lo! thou schalt clepe folkis, whiche thou knewist not; and folkis, that knewen not thee, schulen renne to thee; for thi Lord God, and the hooli of Israel, for he glorifiede thee.
你素不認識的國民,你也必召來; 素不認識你的國民也必向你奔跑, 都因耶和華-你的上帝以色列的聖者, 因為他已經榮耀你。
6 Seke ye the Lord, while he mai be foundun; clepe ye hym to help, while he is niy.
當趁耶和華可尋找的時候尋找他, 相近的時候求告他。
7 An vnfeithful man forsake his weie, and a wickid man forsake hise thouytis; and turne he ayen to the Lord, and he schal haue merci on hym, and to oure God, for he is myche to foryyue.
惡人當離棄自己的道路; 不義的人當除掉自己的意念。 歸向耶和華,耶和華就必憐恤他; 當歸向我們的上帝,因為上帝必廣行赦免。
8 For why my thouytis ben not youre thouytis, and my weies ben not youre weies, seith the Lord.
耶和華說:我的意念非同你們的意念; 我的道路非同你們的道路。
9 For as heuenys ben reisid fro erthe, so my weies ben reisid fro youre weies, and my thouytis fro youre thouytis.
天怎樣高過地, 照樣,我的道路高過你們的道路; 我的意念高過你們的意念。
10 And as reyn and snow cometh doun fro heuene, and turneth no more ayen thidur, but it fillith the erthe, and bischedith it, and makith it to buriowne, and yyueth seed to hym that sowith, and breed to hym that etith,
雨雪從天而降,並不返回, 卻滋潤地土,使地上發芽結實, 使撒種的有種,使要吃的有糧。
11 so schal be my word, that schal go out of my mouth. It schal not turne ayen voide to me, but it schal do what euer thingis Y wolde, and it schal haue prosperite in these thingis to whiche Y sente it.
我口所出的話也必如此, 決不徒然返回, 卻要成就我所喜悅的, 在我發他去成就的事上必然亨通。
12 For ye schulen go out in gladnesse, and ye schulen be led forth in pees; mounteyns and litil hillis schulen synge heriynge bifore you, and alle the trees of the cuntrei schulen make ioie with hond.
你們必歡歡喜喜而出來, 平平安安蒙引導。 大山小山必在你們面前發聲歌唱; 田野的樹木也都拍掌。
13 A fir tre schal grow for a firse, and a mirte tre schal wexe for a nettil; and the Lord schal be nemyd in to a signe euerlastynge, that schal not be doon awei.
松樹長出,代替荊棘; 番石榴長出,代替蒺藜。 這要為耶和華留名, 作為永遠的證據,不能剪除。
