Jesaja 55 | 聖經當代譯本修訂版

上帝施恩典

1 耶和華說:「口渴的人啊,來喝水吧! 沒有錢的人啊, 來買東西吃吧! 買酒買奶都不用付錢。 2 你們為什麼花錢買不能充饑的食物? 為什麼拿辛苦賺來的錢買不能令人飽足的東西? 要留心聽我的話, 就可以吃美物, 享受豐盛的佳餚。 3 你們要到我這裡來, 側耳聽我的話,就必得到生命。 我要跟你們立永久的約, 將應許給大衛的可靠恩福賜給你們。 4 我使他統管萬民, 向萬民做見證。 5 看啊,你必召集不認識的國民, 不認識你的國民必來投奔你, 因為以色列的聖者——你的上帝耶和華賜給你榮耀。」 6 要趁著還可以找到耶和華的時候尋找祂, 趁祂還在附近的時候求告祂。 7 願邪惡的人停止作惡, 不義的人除掉惡念。 願他們歸向耶和華, 祂必憐憫他們; 願他們歸向我們的上帝, 祂必仁慈地赦免他們。 8 耶和華說:「我的意念並非你們的意念, 我的道路並非你們的道路。 9 正如天高過地, 我的道路也高過你們的道路, 我的意念也高過你們的意念。 10 雨雪從天降下,並不返回, 而是要滋潤大地, 使地上的植物發芽生長, 叫播種的有種子, 吃飯的有食糧。 11 同樣,我口中所出的話也不會徒然返回, 而是要成就我的旨意, 實現我的計劃。 12 你們必歡歡喜喜地出來, 平平安安地蒙引導, 大山小山都要在你們面前歌唱, 田野的樹木也都拍掌。 13 曾經的荊棘之地必長出松樹, 曾經的蒺藜之地必長出番石榴。 這便是永遠長存的記號, 以宣揚耶和華的名。」

The Compassion of the Lord

1 “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. 3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. 4 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. 5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. 6 “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. 12 “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall make a name for the Lord, an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
