Isaiah 55:1-3 ESV “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.

• Isaiah 55;1-3 ang ginoo miingon, “ kamong giuhaw, ngari kamo ug inum, bisag wala kamoy kwarta, ngari palit ug kaon. Palit kamog bino ug gatas nga walay bayad. Nganong gastuon man ninyo ang inyong kwarta nianang dili makaon, ug nganong maghago man kamo nianang dili makabusog? Pamati kamo kanako ug makakaon kamo ug maayong pagkaon, ug matagbaw kamo. Pamati kamo ug duol kanako, aron dili kamo mamatay.maghimo ako ug walay katapusang kasabutan uban kaninyo ug panalanginan ko kamo. Sumala sa akong gisaad kang David.

many, 17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for

all things are now ready.’ 18 But they all with one accord  began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ 19 And another

said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused. 20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot

come.

’21 So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city,

and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ 23 Then the master said

to the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24 For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste

my supper.’”
