Isaiah 55
New International Version
Invitation to the Thirsty
55 “Come, all you who are thirsty,(A)
come to the waters;(B)
and you who have no money,
come, buy(C) and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk(D)
without money and without cost.(E)
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?(F)
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,(G)
and you will delight in the richest(H) of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
listen,(I) that you may live.(J)
I will make an everlasting covenant(K) with you,
my faithful love(L) promised to David.(M)
4 See, I have made him a witness(N) to the peoples,
a ruler and commander(O) of the peoples.
5 Surely you will summon nations(P) you know not,
and nations you do not know will come running to you,(Q)
because of the Lord your God,
the Holy One(R) of Israel,
for he has endowed you with splendor.”(S)
6 Seek(T) the Lord while he may be found;(U)
call(V) on him while he is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake(W) their ways
and the unrighteous their thoughts.(X)
Let them turn(Y) to the Lord, and he will have mercy(Z) on them,
and to our God, for he will freely pardon.(AA)
8 “For my thoughts(AB) are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”(AC)
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,(AD)
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.(AE)
10 As the rain(AF) and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,(AG)
so that it yields seed(AH) for the sower and bread for the eater,(AI)
11 so is my word(AJ) that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,(AK)
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose(AL) for which I sent it.
12 You will go out in joy(AM)
and be led forth in peace;(AN)
the mountains and hills
will burst into song(AO) before you,
and all the trees(AP) of the field
will clap their hands.(AQ)
13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
and instead of briers(AR) the myrtle(AS) will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,(AT)
for an everlasting sign,
that will endure forever.”
Isaias 55
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Habag ng Dios
55 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Lumapit kayo, lahat kayong nauuhaw, narito ang tubig! Kahit wala kayong pera, lumapit kayo at kumain! Halikayo, kumuha kayo ng inumin at gatas ng walang bayad! 2 Bakit ninyo ginugugol ang inyong mga salapi sa mga bagay na hindi makakain? Bakit nʼyo inuubos ang mga sweldo ninyo sa mga bagay na hindi makakapagpabusog sa inyo? Makinig kayo sa akin at makakakain kayo ng mga masasarap na pagkain, at talagang mabubusog kayo. 3 Lumapit kayo sa akin at makinig para mabuhay kayo. Gagawa ako ng walang hanggang kasunduan sa inyo. Ipapadama ko sa inyo ang pag-ibig koʼt awa na ipinangako ko kay David. 4 Ginawa ko siyang tagapamahala ng mga bansa, at sa pamamagitan niyaʼy ipinakita ko ang aking kapangyarihan sa kanila. 5 Tatawagin ninyo ang mga bansang hindi ninyo kasama, at magmamadali silang lalapit sa inyo, dahil ako, ang Panginoon na inyong Dios, ang Banal na Dios ng Israel, ang nagbigay sa inyo ng karangalan.”
6 Lumapit na kayo sa Panginoon at tumawag sa kanya habang naririyan pa siya para tulungan kayo. 7 Talikuran na ng mga taong masama ang masasama nilang ugali at baguhin na ang masasama nilang pag-iisip. Magbalik-loob na sila sa Panginoon na ating Dios, dahil kaaawaan at patatawarin niya sila.
8 Sinabi ng Panginoon, “Ang pag-iisip ko ay hindi katulad ng pag-iisip ninyo at ang pamamaraan ko ay hindi katulad ng pamamaraan ninyo. 9 Kung gaano kalayo ang langit sa lupa, ganoon din kalayo ang aking pamamaraan at pag-iisip kaysa sa inyo. 10 Ang ulan at nyebe ay mula sa itaas, at hindi bumabalik doon hanggaʼt hindi muna nakapagbibigay ng tubig sa lupa at nakapagpapalago ng mga halaman para makapagbigay ng binhi at pagkain sa nagtatanim at sa mga tao. 11 Ganyan din ang aking mga salita, hindi ito mawawalan ng kabuluhan. Isasakatuparan nito ang aking ninanais, at isasagawa ang aking layunin kung bakit ko ito ipinadala.
12 “Mga Israelita, aalis kayo nang masaya sa Babilonia at papatnubayan kayo ng Dios. Ang mga bundok at mga burol ay parang mga taong aawit sa tuwa. At ang lahat ng mga puno ay parang mga taong magpapalakpakan. 13 Tutubo na ang mga puno ng sipres at mirto sa dating tinutubuan ng mga halamang may tinik. Ang mga pangyayaring itoʼy magbibigay ng karangalan sa akin. Magiging tanda ito magpakailanman ng aking kapangyarihan.”
Isaiah 55
New King James Version
An Invitation to Abundant Life
55 “Ho! (A)Everyone who thirsts,
Come to the waters;
And you who have no money,
(B)Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk
Without money and without price.
2 Why do you [a]spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and (C)come to Me.
Hear, and your soul shall live;
(D)And I will make an everlasting covenant with you—
The (E)sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as (F)a witness to the people,
(G)A leader and commander for the people.
5 (H)Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
(I)And nations who do not know you shall run to you,
Because of the Lord your God,
And the Holy One of Israel;
(J)For He has glorified you.”
6 (K)Seek the Lord while He may be (L)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
7 (M)Let the [b]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man (N)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
(O)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
8 “For(P) My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For(Q) as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.
10 “For (R)as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 (S)So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me [c]void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall (T)prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For(U) you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills
Shall (V)break forth into singing before you,
And (W)all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 (X)Instead of (Y)the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord (Z)for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
