Esias 44
1 But now hear, Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Bet nu klausies, mans kalps Jēkab, un Israēl, ko esmu izredzējis.
2 Thus says the Lord God that made you, and he that formed you from the womb; You shall yet be helped: fear not, my servant Jacob; and beloved Israel, whom I have chosen.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, kas tevi radījis un taisījis no mātes miesām, kas tev palīdz: Nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, un tu Ješurun, ko Es esmu izredzējis.
3 For I will give water to the thirsty that walk in a dry land: I will put my Spirit upon your seed, and my blessings upon your children:
Jo Es liešu ūdeni uz iztvīkušiem un straumes uz izkaltušiem. Es izliešu Savu Garu uz tavu dzimumu un Savu svētību uz taviem bērnu bērniem,
4 and they shall spring up as grass between brooks, and as willows on [the banks of] running water.
Ka tie zaļos kā zāle, kā vītoli pie ūdens strautiem.
5 One shall say, I am God's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, I am God's, and shall call himself by the name of Israel.
Šis sacīs: Es piederu Tam Kungam! Un cits sauks Jēkaba vārdu, un trešais rakstīs ar savu roku: Es padodos Tam Kungam! Un godās Israēla vārdu.
6 Thus says God the King of Israel, and the God of hosts that delivered him; I am the first, and I am hereafter: beside me there is no God.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš un viņa Pestītājs, Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es esmu tas pirmais un Es esmu tas pēdīgais, un cita Dieva nav, kā Es vien.
7 Who is like me? let him stand, and call, and declare, and prepare for me from the time that I made man for ever; and let them tell you the things that are coming before they arrive.
Un kas tā var sludināt kā Es, lai saka un lai liek Man priekšā, kamēr Es esmu licis pirmos ļaudis pasaulē. Lai tie jel stāsta tās nākamās lietas un kas notiks.
8 Hide not yourselves, nor go astray: have you not heard from the beginning, and [have not] I told you? you are witnesses if there is a God beside me.
Neizbaiļojaties un nebīstaties, - vai Es to sen jau tev neesmu darījis zināmu un stāstījis? Un jūs esat Mani liecinieki, vai ir cits Dievs nekā Es vien? Tiešām, nav cita akmens kalna, Es nezinu neviena.
9 But they that framed [false gods] did not then listen; and they that graved [images] are all vain, performing their own desires, which shall not profit them, but they shall be ashamed
Elku taisītāji visi nav nekas, un viņu mīlulīši neder nekam, un paši ir viņu liecinieki, ka tie neredz un nesaprot; tādēļ tie paliks kaunā.
10 that form a god, and all that grave worthless things:
Kas ir dievu taisījis un elku lējis, kas nekam neder?
11 and all by whom they were made are withered: yes, let all the deaf be gathered from [amongst] men, and let them stand together; and let them be ashamed and confounded together:
Redzi, visi viņu biedri paliks kaunā, jo tie taisītāji ir cilvēki. Tad lai tie visi gan sapulcinājas un ceļas, tomēr tie izbīsies un kopā paliks kaunā.
12 For the artificer sharpens the iron; he fashions [the idol] with an axe, and fixes it with an awl, and fashions it with the strength of his arm: and he will be hungry and weak, and will drink no water.
Kalējs taisa cirvi un strādā svelmē un to pataisa ar veseriem un to izstrādā ar sava elkoņa stiprumu; viņš cieš arī badu, ka paliek bez spēka, viņš nedzer ūdeni, ka paliek gurdens.
13 The artificer having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule, and fits it with glue, and makes it as the form of a man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house.
Kas koka darbu strādā, izvelk mēra auklu, nozīmē to ar sarkanu krītu, aptēš to ar cirvjiem un apraksta to ar cirkuli un dara to pēc vīra ģīmja, kā skaistu cilvēku, lai stāv namā.
14 He cuts wood out of the forest, which the Lord planted, [even] a pine tree, and the rain made it grow,
Viņš sev cērt ciedru kokus, ņem kļavu vai ozolu, un izlasās kādu starp meža kokiem; osi viņš dēstījis un lietus to ir uzaudzinājis.
15 that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it, and bake loaves thereon; and [of] the rest they make for themselves gods, and they worship them.
Tie ir cilvēkam dedzināt, un viņš ņem no tiem un sildās, un iededzina un cep maizi un arī iztaisa dievekli un to pielūdz, dara elku un metās priekš tā ceļos.
16 Half thereof he burns in the fire, and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats, and is satisfied, and having warmed himself he says, I am comfortable, for I have warmed myself, and have seen the fire.
Vienu pusi viņš sadedzina ugunī, no tās puses viņš ēd gaļu, viņš cep cepešus un paēd, pats arī sildās un saka: nu labi, man paliek silti, es samanu uguni.
17 And the rest he makes a graven god, and worships, and prays, saying, Deliver me; for you are my God.
Un to, kas atliek, viņš taisa par dievu, sev par elku; priekš tā viņš metās ceļos un klanās un to pielūdz un saka: izpestī mani, jo tu esi mans dievs.
18 They have no understanding to perceive; for they have been blinded so that they should not see with their eyes, nor perceive with their heart.
Tie neatzīst un nesaprot, jo viņu acis aizlipušas, ka tie neredz, un viņu sirdis, ka tie nesaprot.
19 And one has not considered in his mind, nor known in his understanding, that he has burnt up half of it in the fire, and baked loaves on the coals thereof and has roasted and eaten flesh, and of the rest of it he has made an abomination, and they worship it.
Un neviens to neņem pie sirds, un nav ne atzīšanas, ne saprašanas, ka sacītu: vienu pusi es esmu sadedzinājis ar uguni un uz tām oglēm arī maizi cepis, es gaļu pie tā esmu cepis un ēdis, vai nu man to, kas atliek bija darīt par negantību, vai man priekš koka gabala bija ceļos mesties?
20 Know you that their heart is ashes, and they err, and no one is able to deliver his soul: see, you will not say, [There is a] lie in my right hand.
Kam prāts nesās uz pelniem, to apmānītā sirds maldina, un viņš neizglābj savu dvēseli un nesaka: vai nav viltība manā labā rokā?
21 Remember these things, O Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant; I have formed you [to be] my servant: and do you, Israel, not forget me.
Piemini to, Jēkab un Israēl, jo tu esi Mans kalps; Es tevi esmu radījis, tu esi Mans kalps, Israēl, neaizmirsti Mani.
22 For behold, I have blotted out as a cloud your transgressions, and your sin as darkness: turn to me, and I will redeem you.
Es izdeldu tavus pārkāpumus kā miglu un tavus grēkus ka mākoni. Atgriezies pie Manis, jo Es tevi esmu atpestījis.
23 Rejoice, you heavens; for God has had mercy upon Israel: sound the trumpet, you foundations of the earth: you mountains, shout [with] joy, you hills, and all the trees therein: for God has redeemed Jacob, and Israel shall be glorified.
Gavilējat, debesis, jo Tas Kungs to ir darījis, sauciet priecīgi, zemes dziļumi, ceļat troksni, kalni, ar prieku dziesmām, meži un visi koki iekš tā; jo Tas Kungs Jēkabu atpestījis un Israēli pagodinājis.
24 Thus says the Lord that redeems you, and who formed you from the womb, I am the Lord that performs all things: I stretched out the heaven alone, and established the earth.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs, kas tevi taisījis no mātes miesām. Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas visu dara, kas debesi izpletis, Es viens pats, un kas zemi izklājis, bez cita neviena,
25 Who else will frustrate the tokens of those that have divining spirits, and prophecies from the heart of [man]? turning the wise back, and making their counsel foolishness;
Kas iznīcina zīlnieku zīmes un zvaigžņu cienītājus dara trakus, kas gudriem liek atpakaļ griezties un viņu gudrību dara par ģeķību.
26 and confirming the word of his servant, and verifying the counsel of his messengers: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Idumea, You shall be built, and her desert places shall spring forth.
Kas apstiprina Sava kalpa vārdu un liek izdoties Savu vēstnešu padomam; kas uz Jeruzālemi saka, lai tur atkal ļaudis dzīvo, un uz Jūda pilsētām: Jūs tapsiet atkal uztaisītas, un Es uztaisīšu viņas postītās vietas;
27 Who says to the deep, You shall be dried up, and I will dry up the rivers.
Kas uz dziļumu saka: Izsīksti! Un tavus strautus Es darīšu sausus;
28 Who bids Cyrus be wise, and he shall perform all my will: who says to Jerusalem, You shall be built, and I will lay the foundation of my holy house.
Kas uz Kiru saka: Mans gans! Un viņš izdarīs visu Manu prātu, sacīdams uz Jeruzālemi: topi celta! Un Dieva nams lai top taisīts!
