< Isaiah 49 >
1 Pay attention, you islands, and listen closely, you far away peoples. The Lord has called me from the womb; from the womb of my mother, he has been mindful of my name.
Klausāties uz mani, salas, un ņemiet vērā, tauta no tālienes: Tas Kungs mani aicinājis no mātes miesām, Viņš manu vārdu minējis, kad es vēl biju mātes miesās.
2 And he has appointed my mouth as a sharp sword. In the shadow of his hand, he has protected me. And he has appointed me as an elect arrow. In his quiver, he has hidden me.
Un Viņš manu muti darījis kā asu zobenu, Savas rokas ēnā Viņš mani apslēpis. Viņš mani iecēlis par spožu bultu un glabājis Savā bultu makā.
3 And he has said to me: “You are my servant, Israel. For in you, I will glory.”
Un Viņš uz mani sacījis: tu esi Mans kalps, Israēl, pie kā Es pagodināšos.
4 And I said: “I have labored toward emptiness. I have consumed my strength without purpose and in vain. Therefore, my judgment is with the Lord, and my work is with my God.”
Bet es sacīju: es esmu velti strādājis, es savu spēku esmu tērējis par neko un velti; tomēr mana tiesa ir pie Tā Kunga un mana alga pie mana Dieva.
5 And now, says the Lord, who formed me from the womb as his servant, so that I may bring back Jacob to him, for Israel will not be gathered together, but I have been glorified in the eyes of the Lord and my God has become my strength,
Un nu saka Tas Kungs, kas no mātes miesām mani darījis Sev par kalpu, Jēkabu atkal atvest pie Viņa un Israēli pie Viņa sapulcināt - un es esmu pagodināts Tā Kunga acīs, un mans Dievs ir mans stiprums.
6 and so he has said: “It is a small thing that you should be my servant so as to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and so as to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have offered you as a light for the Gentiles, so that you may be my salvation, even to the furthest regions of the earth.”
Viņš saka: tas ir maz, ka tu esi Mans kalps, uztaisīt Jēkaba ciltis un atkal atvest Israēla izsargātos; bet Es tevi arī pagāniem esmu iecēlis par gaišumu, ka tu esi Mana pestīšana līdz pasaules galiem.
7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to a contemptible soul, to an abominable nation, to the servant of lords: The kings will see, and the princes will rise up, and they will adore, because of the Lord. For he is faithful, and he is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Pestītājs, viņa Svētais, uz to, kam dvēsele top nicināta, ko ļaudis tur par negantību, kas varas darītājiem par kalpu. Ķēniņi redzēs un pacelsies, lielkungi metīsies zemē Tā Kunga dēļ, kas ir uzticīgs, Israēla Svētā dēļ, kas tevi izredzējis.
8 Thus says the Lord: In a pleasing time, I have heeded you, and in the day of salvation, I have assisted you. And I have preserved you, and I have presented you as a covenant of the people, so that you would lift up the earth, and possess the scattered inheritances,
Tā saka Tas Kungs: Es tevi esmu paklausījis labā pieņemīgā laikā, un tev esmu palīdzējis pestīšanas dienā. Un Es tevi pasargāšu un tevi iecelšu tautai par derību, zemi uztaisīt, ka ikviens iemanto savu postīto daļu,
9 so that you would say to those who are bound, “Go forth!” and to those who are in darkness, “Be released!” They will pasture along the roads, and their pastures will be in every open place.
Un sacīt uz tiem, kas cietumā: ejat ārā! Uz tiem, kas tumsā: nāciet gaismā! Tie ganīsies ceļmalā un ganība tiem būs visās augstās vietās.
10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the heat of the sun beat down upon them. For the one who takes pity on them will rule them, and he will give them to drink from fountains of waters.
Tie ne izsalks, nedz izslāps, tos arī nespiedīs ne karstums, ne saule; jo viņu apžēlotājs tos vadīs un tos vedīs lēniņām pie ūdens avotiem.
11 And I will make all my mountains into a road, and my paths will be exalted.
Un Es darīšu visus Savus kalnus par ceļu, un Mani lielceļi taps paaugstināti.
12 Behold, some will come from far away, and behold, others from the north and from the sea, and still others from the land of the south.
Redzi, šie nāks no tālienes, un redzi, šie no ziemeļa puses un no jūras, un šie no Sinimas zemes.
13 Give praise, O heavens! And exult, O earth! Let the mountains give praise with jubilation! For the Lord has consoled his people, and he will take pity on his poor ones.
Gavilējat, debesis, un priecājies, zeme, sākat gavilēt, kalni, jo Tas Kungs iepriecina Savus ļaudis un apžēlojās par Saviem bēdīgiem.
14 And Zion said: “The Lord has abandoned me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”
Bet Ciāna saka: Tas Kungs mani atstājis, un Tas Kungs mani aizmirsis.
15 Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to take pity on the child of her womb? But even if she would forget, still I shall never forget you.
Vai sieva var aizmirst savu zīdāmo bērnu, neapžēlodamās par savu miesīgo dēlu? Un jebšu viņa to aizmirstu, tomēr Es tevi neaizmirsīšu!
16 Behold, I have engraved you on my hands. Your walls are always before my eyes.
Redzi, Savās rokās Es tevi esmu rakstījis, tavi mūri ir vienmēr Manā priekšā.
17 Your builders have arrived. Those who would tear you down and destroy you, they will depart from you.
Tavi bērni steigsies šurp, bet tavi postītāji un izdeldētāji ies projām no tevis.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these have been gathered together; they have come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you shall be clothed with all these things, as if with an ornament. And like a bride, you shall wrap these things all around you.
Pacel savas acis visapkārt, un redzi: visi šie sapulcinājās un nāk pie tevis. Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs, tu tapsi ar visiem šiem apģērbta tā kā ar glītumu un apjozīsies ar tiem kā brūte,
19 For your deserts, and your solitary places, and the land of your ruination will now be too narrow, because of all the inhabitants. And those who devoured you will be chased far away.
Jo tava aplaupītā, iztukšotā, nopostītā zeme tev nu taps visai šaura tik daudz iedzīvotāju dēļ, un tavi aprijēji atkāpsies tālu no tevis.
20 Even the children of your barrenness will say in your ears: “This place is too narrow for me. Make me a spacious place in which to dwell.”
Tad tie bērni, kas bija zuduši, sacīs priekš tavām ausīm: tā vieta priekš manis ir šaura; ej tālāk, ka es varu dzīvot.
21 And you will say in your heart: “Who has conceived them? I was barren and unable to give birth. I was taken away and held captive. And so, who has raised them? I was destitute and alone. And so, where have they been?”
Bet tu sacīsi savā sirdī: kas man šos dzemdinājis, jo es biju bez bērniem, vientule, es biju cietumā vesta un atstumta; kas tad šos man ir uzaudzinājis? Redzi, es biju atstāta viena, kur tad šie bija?
22 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and I will exalt my sign before the peoples. And they will carry your sons in their arms, and they will bear your daughters on their shoulders.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es pacelšu Savu roku uz pagāniem un izcelšu tautām Savu karogu, tad tie tavus dēlus atnesīs klēpī, un tavas meitas nesīs uz kamiešiem.
23 And kings will be your caretakers, and queens will be your nursemaids. They will reverence you with their face to the ground, and they will lick the dust at your feet. And you will know that I am the Lord. For those who hope in him will not be confounded.
Un ķēniņi būs tavi audzinātāji un viņu ķēniņienes tavas zīdītājas. Tie metīsies uz vaigu zemē priekš tevis un laizīs tavu kāju pīšļus. Tad tu manīsi, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, pie kā netop kaunā, kas uz Mani cerē.
24 Can prey be taken from the strong? Or is anything taken captive by the powerful able to be saved?
Vai gan varenam var atņemt laupījumu? Jeb vai taisni var izsprukt no viņa cietuma?
25 For thus says the Lord: Certainly, even the captives will be taken away from the strong, even what has been taken by the powerful will be saved. And truly, I will judge those who have judged you, and I will save your children.
Bet nu Tas Kungs tā saka: tiešām, cietumnieki varenajam taps atņemti, un laupījums izspruks varas darītājam; jo taviem pretiniekiem Es stāšos pretī, un tavus bērnus Es izpestīšu.
26 And I will feed your enemies their own flesh. And they will be inebriated with their own blood, as with new wine. And all flesh will know that I am the Lord, who saves you, and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob.
Un tavus spaidītājus Es ēdināšu ar viņu pašu miesām, un tie piedzersies no savām pašu asinīm kā no salda vīna, un visa miesa manīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs un tavs izglābējs, tas Varenais iekš Jēkaba.
