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!

۱ «ای جمیع تشنگان نزد آبها بیایید وهمه شما که نقره ندارید بیایید بخرید وبخورید. بیایید و شراب و شیر را بی‌نقره وبی قیمت بخرید.

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].

۲ چرا نقره را برای آنچه نان نیست و مشقت خویش را برای آنچه سیرنمی کند صرف می‌کنید. گوش داده، از من بشنویدو چیزهای نیکو را بخورید تا جان شما از فربهی متلذذ شود.

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.

۳ گوش خود را فرا داشته، نزد من بیایید و تا جان شما زنده گردد بشنوید و من باشما عهد جاودانی یعنی رحمت های امین داود راخواهم بست.

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].

۴ اینک من او را برای طوایف شاهدگردانیدم. رئیس و حاکم طوایف.

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.

۵ هان امتی را که نشناخته بودی دعوت خواهی نمود. و امتی که تورا نشناخته بودند نزد تو خواهند دوید. به‌خاطریهوه که خدای تو است و قدوس اسرائیل که تو راتمجید نموده است.»

6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!

۶ خداوند را مادامی که یافت می‌شود بطلبید ومادامی که نزدیک است او را بخوانید.

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].

۷ شریر راه خود را و گناه کار افکار خویش را ترک نماید وبسوی خداوند بازگشت کند و بر وی رحمت خواهد نمود و بسوی خدای ما که مغفرت عظیم خواهد کرد.

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.

۸ زیرا خداوند می‌گوید که افکار من افکار شما نیست و طریق های شما طریق های من نی.

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.

۹ زیرا چنانکه آسمان از زمین بلندتر است همچنان طریق های من از طریق های شما و افکارمن از افکار شما بلندتر می‌باشد.

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.

۱۰ و چنانکه باران و برف از آسمان می‌بارد و به آنجابرنمی گردد بلکه زمین را سیراب کرده، آن را بارورو برومند می‌سازد و برزگر را تخم و خورنده رانان می‌بخشد،

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].

۱۱ همچنان کلام من که از دهانم صادر گردد خواهد بود. نزد من بی‌ثمر نخواهدبرگشت بلکه آنچه را که خواستم بجا خواهدآورد و برای آنچه آن را فرستادم کامران خواهدگردید.

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.

۱۲ زیرا که شما با شادمانی بیرون خواهیدرفت و با سلامتی هدایت خواهید شد. کوهها وتلها در حضور شما به شادی ترنم خواهند نمود وجمیع درختان صحرا دستک خواهند زد.

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].”

۱۳ به‌جای درخت خار صنوبر و به‌جای خس آس خواهد رویید و برای خداوند اسم و آیت جاودانی که منقطع نشود خواهد بود.
