Jesajas 55
1 Nu tad, visi iztvīkušie, nāciet pie ūdens, un kam naudas nav, nāciet, pērciet un ēdiet, nāciet un pērciet bez naudas un bez maksas, vīnu un pienu.
"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 Kāpēc jūs naudu nosverat par to, kas maize nav, un savu pelņu par to, no kā nevar paēst? Klausāties, klausāties uz Mani tad baudīsiet labumu un jūsu dvēsele atspirdzināsies taukumos.
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 Griežat šurp savu ausi un nāciet pie Manis, klausiet, tad jūsu dvēsele dzīvos! Jo Es jums celšu mūžīgu derību: Dāvida pastāvīgās apžēlošanas.
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 Redzi, Es viņu esmu iecēlis tautām par liecinieku, tautām par virsnieku un valdītāju.
Look, I have given him for a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander to the peoples.
5 Redzi, tu sauksi tautas, ko nepazini, un ļaudis, kas tevi nepazina, pie tevis steigsies, Tā Kunga, tava Dieva, Israēla Svētā, dēļ, jo Tas tevi pagodinājis.
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 YHWH your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you."
6 Meklējiet To Kungu, kamēr Tas atrodams, piesauciet Viņu, kamēr Tas tuvu.
Seek YHWH while he may be found; call you on him while he is near:
7 Lai bezdievīgais atstāj savu ceļu un ļaundarītājs savas domas un atgriežas pie Tā Kunga, tad Viņš par to apžēlosies un pie mūsu Dieva, jo pie Viņa ir daudz piedošanas.
let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to YHWH, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 Jo Manas domas nav jūsu domas un jūsu ceļi nav Mani ceļi, saka Tas Kungs.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," says YHWH.
9 Jo tā kā debesis augstākas nekā zeme, tā Mani ceļi augstāki nekā jūsu ceļi, un Manas domas nekā jūsu domas.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 Jo tā kā lietus un sniegs nāk no debesīm un turp neatgriežas, bet slapina zemi un dara to auglīgu un zaļojam, ka tā dod sēklu sējējam un maizi ēdējam,
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 Tāpat būs Mans vārds, kas iziet no Manas mutes; tas neatgriezīsies pie Manis tukšs, bet darīs, kas Man patīk, un izdosies labi, par ko Es to sūtu.
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 Jo ar prieku jūs iziesiet un ar mieru jūs tapsiet vadīti, kalni un pakalni jūsu priekšā gavilēs gavilēdami, un visi koki laukā plaukšķinās.
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 Ērkšķu vietā uzaugs priedes, un dadžu vietā uzaugs mirtes, un tas Tam Kungam būs par slavu un par mūžīgu zīmi, kas netaps izdeldēta.
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 YHWH for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."
