Isaiah 64
1 Oh, that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, — that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
Ak kaut Tu pārplēstu debesis un nonāktu zemē, ka kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
2 — as fire kindleth brushwood, as the fire causeth water to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations might tremble at thy presence!
Tā kā uguns iededzina žagarus, un kā uguns ūdeni dara uzverdam, - ka Tavs vārds tiktu zināms Taviem pretiniekiem, ka pagāni drebētu Tavā priekšā;
3 When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for, thou camest down, and the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
Caur tiem brīnumiem, ko Tu dari mums negaidot, kaut Tu nonāktu zemē, kaut kalni izkustu Tavā priekšā!
4 Never have [men] heard, nor perceived by the ear, nor hath eye seen a God beside thee, who acteth for him that waiteth for him.
Nemūžam nav dzirdēts, nedz samanīts, nedz acīm redzēts cits Dievs, kā vien Tu, kas tā dara tam, kas uz Viņu gaida.
5 Thou meetest him that rejoiceth to do righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: (behold, thou wast wroth, and we have sinned: ) in those is perpetuity, and we shall be saved.
Tu nāci tiem tuvu, kas taisnību dara ar prieku, kas Tevi piemin uz Taviem ceļiem. Redzi, Tu esi apskaities, tāpēc ka mēs esam grēkojuši, un ilgi tā esam palikuši; vai tapsim izglābti?
6 And we are all become as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have carried us away;
Mēs visi esam kā nešķīsti, un visa mūsu taisnība kā sārņaina drēbe. Un mēs visi novīstam kā lapa, un mūsu grēki mūs aizrauj kā vējš.
7 and there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hidden thy face from us, and hast caused us to melt away through our iniquities.
Un neviena nav, kas Tavu Vārdu piesauc, kas uzmostas un tveras pie Tevis. Jo Tu apslēpi Savu vaigu no mums un liec mums nīcin iznīkt caur mūsu grēkiem.
8 And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Nu tad, Kungs, Tu esi mūsu Tēvs, mēs esam māls, un Tu esi mūsu darītājs, un mēs visi esam Tavas rokas darbs.
9 Be not wroth very sore, O Jehovah, neither remember iniquity for ever. Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Neapskaisties, Kungs, tik ļoti, un nepiemini noziegumu mūžīgi, redzi, uzlūko jel, ka mēs visi esam Tavi ļaudis.
10 Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Tavas svētās pilsētas palikušas par tuksnesi, Ciāna par tuksnesi, Jeruzāleme par postažu.
11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up with fire, and all our precious things are laid waste.
Mūsu svētais un skaistais Dieva nams, kur mūsu tēvi Tevi slavējuši, ir sadedzināts ar uguni, un viss mūsu acu prieks ir bojā gājis.
12 Wilt thou restrain thyself in presence of these things, Jehovah? Wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Kungs, vai Tu būsi ciets, šās lietas redzēdams? Vai Tu klusu cietīsi, un mūs tik ļoti apbēdināsi?
