Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

55:1

οἱ διψῶντες πορεύεσθε ἐφ’ ὕδωρ καὶ ὅσοι μὴ ἔχετε ἀργύριον βαδίσαντες ἀγοράσατε καὶ πίετε ἄνευ ἀργυρίου καὶ τιμῆς οἴνου καὶ στέαρ

You who are thirsty, go to water; and as many of you as have no silver, go, buy and drink without silver and without price, wine and fat.

口渴的人哪，你們都就近水來；沒有銀子的人哪，你們都去買來吃喝；不用銀子，也不用價值，就得著酒和油脂。

55:2

ἵνα τί τιμᾶσθε ἀργυρίου καὶ τὸν μόχθον ὑμῶν οὐκ εἰς πλησμονήν ἀκούσατέ μου καὶ φάγεσθε ἀγαθά καὶ ἐντρυφήσει ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν

Why do you price things at silver, and your labor is not for satisfaction? Listen to me, and you shall eat good things, and your soul shall delight in good things.

你們為何用銀子衡量價值？你們的勞碌為何不得飽足呢？你們要聽從我，就得吃美物，你們的心也必因美物歡暢。

55:3

προσέχετε τοῖς ὠτίοις ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπακολουθήσατε ταῖς ὁδοῖς μου ἐπακούσατέ μου καὶ ζήσεται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς ἡ ψυχὴ ὑμῶν καὶ διαθήσομαι ὑμῖν διαθήκην αἰώνιον τὰ ὅσια Δαυιδ τὰ πιστά

Give heed with your ears and follow after my ways; listen to me, and your soul shall live in good things. And I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the faithful holy things of Dauid.

你們要側耳而聽，跟隨我的道路；聽從我，你們的性命就必在美福中存活。我必與你們立永遠的約，就是應許大衛那可信的聖恩。

55:4

ἰδοὺ μαρτύριον ἐν ἔθνεσιν δέδωκα αὐτόν ἄρχοντα καὶ προστάσσοντα ἔθνεσιν

Behold, I have given him as a testimony among the nations, a ruler and one who gives commands to nations.

看哪，我已立他作萬民的見證，作萬國的君王和發令者。

55:5

ἔθνη ἃ οὐκ ᾔδεισάν σε ἐπικαλέσονταί σε καὶ λαοί οἳ οὐκ ἐπίστανταί σε ἐπὶ σὲ καταφεύξονται ἕνεκεν τοῦ θεοῦ σου τοῦ ἁγίου Ισραηλ ὅτι ἐδόξασέν σε

Nations that did not know you shall call upon you, and peoples that do not know you shall take refuge with you, for the sake of your God, the Holy One of Israel, because he has glorified you.

素不認識你的國民必呼求你，不曉得你的萬民也必投奔你，都是因你的神以色列的聖者，因為他已榮耀了你。

55:6

ζητήσατε τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἐν τῷ εὑρίσκειν αὐτὸν ἐπικαλέσασθε ἡνίκα δ’ ἂν ἐγγίζῃ ὑμῖν

Seek God, and when you find him call upon him; and while he is drawing near to you,

當尋求神，趁著尋見他的時候求告他；趁他親近你們的時候。

55:7

ἀπολιπέτω ὁ ἀσεβὴς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὴρ ἄνομος τὰς βουλὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιστραφήτω ἐπὶ κύριον καὶ ἐλεηθήσεται ὅτι ἐπὶ πολὺ ἀφήσει τὰς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν

let the impious forsake his ways and the lawless man his counsels, and let him turn back to the Lord, and he shall be shown mercy; for he will abundantly forgive your sins.

不敬虔的人當離棄自己的道路，不法之人當撇下自己的謀算，歸向主，主就必憐憫他；因為他必廣大地赦免你們的罪。

55:8

οὐ γάρ εἰσιν αἱ βουλαί μου ὥσπερ αἱ βουλαὶ ὑμῶν οὐδὲ ὥσπερ αἱ ὁδοὶ ὑμῶν αἱ ὁδοί μου λέγει κύριος

For my counsels are not like your counsels, nor are your ways like my ways, says the Lord.

因為我的謀算並不像你們的謀算，你們的道路也不像我的道路。這是主說的。

55:9

ἀλλ’ ὡς ἀπέχει ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς οὕτως ἀπέχει ἡ ὁδός μου ἀπὸ τῶν ὁδῶν ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ διανοήματα ὑμῶν ἀπὸ τῆς διανοίας μου

But as the heaven is far from the earth, so is my way far from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.

天離地有多遠，我的道路離你們的道路也有多遠，你們的思念離我的心思也是如此。

55:10

ὡς γὰρ ἐὰν καταβῇ ὑετὸς ἢ χιὼν ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἕως ἂν μεθύσῃ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἐκτέκῃ καὶ ἐκβλαστήσῃ καὶ δῷ σπέρμα τῷ σπείροντι καὶ ἄρτον εἰς βρῶσιν

For just as rain or snow comes down from heaven and does not return until it has saturated the earth and it brings forth and sprouts and gives seed to the sower and bread for food,

雨雪怎樣從天而降，並不返回，卻滋潤大地，使地生產萌芽，賜種子給撒種的，賜糧食給人吃；

55:11

οὕτως ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμά μου ὃ ἐὰν ἐξέλθῃ ἐκ τοῦ στόματός μου οὐ μὴ ἀποστραφῇ ἕως ἂν συντελεσθῇ ὅσα ἠθέλησα καὶ εὐοδώσω τὰς ὁδούς σου καὶ τὰ ἐντάλματά μου

so shall my word be, whatever goes out of my mouth: it shall not return until all that I willed has been accomplished; and I will make your ways and my commandments prosper.

我口所出的話也必如此，斷不徒然返回，直等我所喜悅的都成就了；我也必使你的道路和我的誡命亨通。

55:12

ἐν γὰρ εὐφροσύνῃ ἐξελεύσεσθε καὶ ἐν χαρᾷ διδαχθήσεσθε τὰ γὰρ ὄρη καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ἐξαλοῦνται προσδεχόμενοι ὑμᾶς ἐν χαρᾷ καὶ πάντα τὰ ξύλα τοῦ ἀγροῦ ἐπικροτήσει τοῖς κλάδοις

For you shall go out with gladness, and in joy you shall be taught; for the mountains and the hills shall leap out, welcoming you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall clap with their branches.

你們必歡歡喜喜出來，在喜樂中受教導；大山小山必在你們面前歡呼踴躍，歡歡喜喜迎接你們，田野的一切樹木也必拍掌作響。

55:13

καὶ ἀντὶ τῆς στοιβῆς ἀναβήσεται κυπάρισσος ἀντὶ δὲ τῆς κονύζης ἀναβήσεται μυρσίνη καὶ ἔσται κύριος εἰς ὄνομα καὶ εἰς σημεῖον αἰώνιον καὶ οὐκ ἐκλείψει

And instead of the brier a cypress shall come up, and instead of the fleabane a myrtle shall come up; and the Lord shall be for a name and for an everlasting sign, and it shall not fail.

荊棘之處必長出柏樹，飛蓬之處必長出番石榴樹。主必成為名聲，成為永遠的標記，永不斷絕。
