Esias 18
1 Woe to you, you wings of the land of ships, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.
Ak vai, zeme, kur spārni žvingst, viņpus Kūsa upēm;
2 He sends messengers by the sea, and paper letters on the water: for swift messengers shall go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and harsh people. Who is beyond it? a nation not looked for, and trodden down.
Tā sūta vēstnešus pār jūru un niedru laivās pār ūdeņiem. Ejat, jūs čaklie vēstneši, pie tautas, kas bijājama tālu tālu, pie tautas, kas pavēlētāja un saminēja, kam upes zemi dala.
3 Now all the rivers of the land shall be inhabited as an inhabited country; their land shall be as when a signal is raised from a mountain; it shall be audible as the sound of a trumpet.
Visi jūs pasaules iedzīvotāji un jūs ļaudis virs zemes, kad karogs taps izcelts kalnos, tad redziet, un kad trumete skanēs, tad dzirdiet!
4 For thus said the Lord to me, There shall be security in my city, as the light of noonday heat, and it shall be as a cloud of dew in the day of harvest.
Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: “Es turēšos klusu un skatīšos no Sava mājokļa, kā karstums spiež saulei spīdot un padebesis raso pļaujama laika karstumā.”
5 Before the reaping time, when the flower has been completely formed, and the unripe grape has put forth its flower and blossomed, then shall he take away the little clusters with pruning-hooks, and shall take away the small branches, and cut them off;
Jo priekš pašas pļaujas, kad ziedi noziedējuši un kad no ziediem ķekari jau ietekās, tad Viņš stīgas nogriezīs ar dārza nazi un zarus atņems un nokapās.
6 And he shall leave [them] together to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth: and the fowls of the sky shall be gathered upon them, and all the beasts of the land shall come upon him.
Tie visi taps atstāti kalnu ērgļiem un zemes zvēriem, un tie ērgļi tur paliek pa vasaru un visi zemes zvēri tur mīt pa ziemu.
7 In that time shall presents be brought to the Lord of hosts from a people afflicted and peeled, and from a people great from henceforth and for ever; a nation hoping and [yet] trodden down, which is in a part of a river of his land, to the place where is the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Sion.
Tanī laikā Tam Kungam Cebaot nesīs dāvanas no tās tautas, kas lielu slaiku augumu, un no tās tautas, kas bijājama tālu tālu, no tās tautas, kas pavēlētāja un saminēja, kam upes zemi dala, uz to vietu, kur Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds, uz Ciānas kalnu.
