以赛亚书 55
1 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。
Ho, euery one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and ye that haue no siluer, come, bye and eate: come, I say, bye wine and milke without siluer and without money.
2 你们为何花钱买那不足为食物的？ 用劳碌得来的买那不使人饱足的呢？ 你们要留意听我的话就能吃那美物， 得享肥甘，心中喜乐。
Wherefore doe ye lay out siluer and not for bread? and your labour without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto me, and eate that which is good, and let your soule delite in fatnes.
3 你们当就近我来； 侧耳而听，就必得活。 我必与你们立永约， 就是应许大卫那可靠的恩典。
Encline your eares, and come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, and I will make an euerlasting couenant with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid.
4 我已立他作万民的见证， 为万民的君王和司令。
Beholde, I gaue him for a witnes to the people, for a prince and a master vnto the people.
5 你素不认识的国民，你也必召来； 素不认识你的国民也必向你奔跑， 都因耶和华—你的 神以色列的圣者， 因为他已经荣耀你。
Beholde, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee.
6 当趁耶和华可寻找的时候寻找他， 相近的时候求告他。
Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call ye vpon him while he is neere.
7 恶人当离弃自己的道路； 不义的人当除掉自己的意念。 归向耶和华，耶和华就必怜恤他； 当归向我们的 神，因为 神必广行赦免。
Let the wicked forsake his wayes, and the vnrighteous his owne imaginations, and returne vnto the Lord, and he wil haue mercy vpon him: and to our God, for hee is very ready to forgiue.
8 耶和华说：我的意念非同你们的意念； 我的道路非同你们的道路。
For my thoughtes are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, sayth the Lord.
9 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。
For as ye heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughtes aboue your thoughts.
10 雨雪从天而降，并不返回， 却滋润地土，使地上发芽结实， 使撒种的有种，使要吃的有粮。
Surely as the raine commeth downe and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth and maketh it to bring forth and bud, that it may giue seede to the sower, and bread vnto him that eateth,
11 我口所出的话也必如此， 决不徒然返回， 却要成就我所喜悦的， 在我发他去成就的事上必然亨通。
So shall my worde be, that goeth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me voyde, but it shall accomplish that which I will, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 你们必欢欢喜喜而出来， 平平安安蒙引导。 大山小山必在你们面前发声歌唱； 田野的树木也都拍掌。
Therefore ye shall go out with ioy, and be led forth with peace: the mountaines and the hilles shall breake foorth before you into ioye, and all the trees of the fielde shall clap their handes.
13 松树长出，代替荆棘； 番石榴长出，代替蒺藜。 这要为耶和华留名， 作为永远的证据，不能剪除。
For thornes there shall grow firre trees: for nettles shall growe the myrrhe tree, and it shalbe to the Lord for a name, and for an euerlasting signe that shall not be taken away.
