55ISAIAHReference ישעיה 55

1"Ho, every one 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.
God's offer of mercy. Is.55.1-13  הֹוי כָּל־צָמֵא לְכוּ לַמַּיִם וַאֲשֶׁר אֵין־לֹו כָּסֶף לְכוּ
שִׁבְרוּ וֶאֱכֹלוּ וּלְכוּ שִׁבְרוּ בְּלֹוא־כֶסֶף וּבְלֹוא מְחִיר יַיִן וְחָלָב׃
1
2Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labour for that which does not satisfy?
Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in fatness.
   לָמָּה תִשְׁקְלוּ־כֶסֶף בְּלֹוא־לֶחֶם וִיגִיעֲכֶם בְּלֹוא לְשָׂבְעָה
שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמֹועַ אֵלַי וְאִכְלוּ־טֹוב וְתִתְעַנַּג בַּדֶּשֶׁן נַפְשְׁכֶם׃
2
3Incline 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.
   הַטּוּ אָזְנְכֶם וּלְכוּ אֵלַי שִׁמְעוּ וּתְחִי נַפְשְׁכֶם
וְאֶכְרְתָה לָכֶם בְּרִית עֹולָם חַסְדֵי דָוִד הַנֶּאֱמָנִים׃
3
4Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples.
   הֵן עֵד לְאוּמִּים נְתַתִּיו נָגִיד וּמְצַוֵּה לְאֻמִּים׃ 4
5Behold, you shall call nations that you know not,
and nations that knew you not shall run to you,
because of Yahweh your God, and of the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.
   הֵן גֹּוי לֹא־תֵדַע תִּקְרָא וְגֹוי לֹא־יְדָעוּךָ אֵלֶיךָ יָרוּצוּ
לְמַעַן יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְלִקְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי פֵאֲרָךְ׃ ס
5
6"Seek Yahweh while he may be found,
call upon him while he is near;
   דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה בְּהִמָּצְאֹו קְרָאֻהוּ בִּהְיֹותֹו קָרֹוב׃ 6
7let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to Yahweh, that he may have mercy on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
   יַעֲזֹב רָשָׁע דַּרְכֹּו וְאִישׁ אָוֶן מַחְשְׁבֹתָיו
וְיָשֹׁב אֶל־יְהוָה וִירַחֲמֵהוּ וְאֶל־אֱלֹהֵינוּ כִּי־יַרְבֶּה לִסְלֹוחַ׃
7
8For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, says Yahweh.
   כִּי לֹא מַחְשְׁבֹותַי מַחְשְׁבֹותֵיכֶם וְלֹא דַרְכֵיכֶם דְּרָכָי נְאֻם יְהוָה׃ 8
9For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
   כִּי־גָבְהוּ שָׁמַיִם מֵאָרֶץ כֵּן גָּבְהוּ דְרָכַי מִדַּרְכֵיכֶם וּמַחְשְׁבֹתַי מִמַּחְשְׁבֹתֵיכֶם׃ 9
10"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and return not thither but water the earth,
making it bring forth and sprout,
giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
   כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר יֵרֵד הַגֶּשֶׁם וְהַשֶּׁלֶג מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם
וְשָׁמָּה לֹא יָשׁוּב כִּי אִם־הִרְוָה אֶת־הָאָרֶץ
וְהֹולִידָהּ וְהִצְמִיחָהּ וְנָתַן זֶרַע לַזֹּרֵעַ וְלֶחֶם לָאֹכֵל׃
10
11so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
   כֵּן יִהְיֶה דְבָרִי אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִפִּי לֹא־יָשׁוּב אֵלַי רֵיקָם
כִּי אִם־עָשָׂה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר חָפַצְתִּי וְהִצְלִיחַ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלַחְתִּיו׃
11
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.
   כִּי־בְשִׂמְחָה תֵצֵאוּ וּבְשָׁלֹום תּוּבָלוּן
הֶהָרִים וְהַגְּבָעֹות יִפְצְחוּ לִפְנֵיכֶם רִנָּה וְכָל־עֲצֵי הַשָּׂדֶה יִמְחֲאוּ־כָף׃
12
13Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall be to Yahweh for a memorial,
for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off."
   תַּחַת הַנַּעֲצוּץ יַעֲלֶה בְרֹושׁ [כ= תַחַת] [ק= וְתַחַת] הַסִּרְפַּד יַעֲלֶה הֲדַס
וְהָיָה לַיהוָה לְשֵׁם לְאֹות עֹולָם לֹא יִכָּרֵת׃ ס
