Isaiah 55

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	La Biblia
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.	¹ Oíd, sedientos todos, acudid por agua; \| venid, también los que no tenéis dinero: \| comprad trigo y comed, venid y comprad, \| sin dinero y de balde, vino y leche.
² Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.	² ¿Por qué gastar dinero en lo que no alimenta \| y el salario en lo que no da hartura? \| Escuchadme atentos y comeréis bien, \| saborearéis platos sustanciosos.
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.	³ Inclinad vuestro oído, venid a mí: \| escuchadme y viviréis. \| Sellaré con vosotros una alianza perpetua, \| las misericordias firmes hechas a David:
⁴ Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples.	⁴ lo hice mi testigo para los pueblos, \| guía y soberano de naciones.
⁵ Behold, you shall call nations that you know not, and nations that knew you not shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.	⁵ Tú llamarás a un pueblo desconocido, \| un pueblo que no te conocía correrá hacia ti; \| porque el Señor tu Dios, \| el Santo de Israel te glorifica.
⁶ "Seek the LORD while he may be found, call upon him while he is near;	⁶ Buscad al Señor mientras se deja encontrar, \| invocadlo mientras está cerca.
⁷ let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.	⁷ Que el malvado abandone su camino, \| y el malhechor sus planes; \| que se convierta al Señor, y él tendrá piedad, \| a nuestro Dios, que es rico en perdón.
⁸ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the LORD.	⁸ Porque mis planes no son vuestros planes, \| vuestros caminos no son mis caminos \| —oráculo del Señor—.
⁹ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.	⁹ Cuanto dista el cielo de la tierra, \| así distan mis caminos de los vuestros, \| y mis planes de vuestros planes.
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,	¹⁰ Como bajan la lluvia y la nieve desde el cielo, \| y no vuelven allá sino después de empapar la tierra, \| de fecundarla y hacerla germinar, \| para que dé semilla al sembrador \| y pan al que come,
¹¹ so 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.	¹¹ así será mi palabra que sale de mi boca: \| no volverá a mí vacía, \| sino que cumplirá mi deseo \| y llevará a cabo mi encargo.
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.	¹² Saldréis con alegría, os llevarán seguros; \| montes y colinas romperán a cantar ante vosotros, \| aplaudirán los árboles del campo.
¹³ Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign which shall not be cut off."	¹³ En vez de espinos, crecerá el ciprés; \| en vez de ortigas, el arrayán; \| serán el renombre del Señor \| y monumento perpetuo imperecedero.
