Isaiah 55
1 “All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
О вие, които сте жадни, дойдете всички при водите; И вие, които нямате пари, дойдете купете, та яжте; Да! дойдете, купете вино и мляко, Без пари и без плата.
2 [What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
Защо иждивявате пари за онова, което не е хляб, И трудът си за това, което не насища? Послушайте Ме с внимание и ще ядете благо, И душата ви ще се наслаждава с най-доброто
3 Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
Приклонете ухото си и дойдете при Мене, Послушайте, и душата ви ще живее; И Аз ще направя с вас вечен завет Според верните милости, обещани на Давида.
4 By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
Ето, дадох го за свидетел на племената, За княз и заповедник на племената,
5 And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
Ето, ще призовеш народ, когото ти не познаваш; И народ, който не те познаваше, ще тича при тебе, Заради Господа твоя Бог, И заради Светия Израилев, защото те е прославил,
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Търсете Господа, докле може да се намери. Призовавайте Го докато е близо;
7 Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
Нека остави нечестивия пътя си, И неправедният помислите си, Нака се обърне към Господа, и Той ще се смили за него, И към нашия Бог, защото Той ще прощава щедро.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
Защото Моите помисли не са като вашите помисли. Нито вашите пътища като Моите пътища, казва Господ,
9 Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
Понеже, както небето е по-високо от земята, Така и Моите пътища са по-високи от вашите пътища, И Моите помисли от вашите помисли.
10 Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
Защото както слиза дъжд и сняг от небето, И не се връща там, Но пои земята И я прави да произрастява и да напъпва, Та дава семе на сеяча и хляб на гладния.
11 And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
Така ще бъде словото Ми, което излиза из устата Ми; Не ще се върне при Мене празно, Но ще извърши волята Ми, И ще благоуспее в онова, за което го изрпащам
12 You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
Защото ще излезете с радост, И ще бъдете изведени с мир; Планините и хълмовете ще запеят пред вас радостно, И всичките полски дървета ще изплескат с ръце.
13 Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
Вместо драка ще израсте елха, Вместо трън ще израсте мирта; И това ще бъде на Господа за име, За вечно знамение, което няма да се изличи.
