Isaiah 24
1 Watch out! The Lord is going to destroy the earth, to make it totally devastated. He's going to rip up the surface of the earth and scatter its inhabitants.
Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
2 It will happen the same for everybody—whether people or priests, servants or their masters, maids or their mistresses, buyers or sellers, lenders or borrowers, creditors or debtors.
Un kā tiem ļaudīm, tāpat klāsies priesterim; kā kalpam, tāpat viņa kungam; kā kalponei tāpat viņas saimniecei; kā pircējam, tāpat pārdevējam; kā aizdevējam, tāpat aizņēmējam; kā pagaidu dzinējam, tāpat pagaidu maksātajam.
3 The earth will be completely laid waste and looted. This is what the Lord has said.
Postīt to zemi izpostīs, un laupīt viņu izlaupīs; jo Tas Kungs šo vārdu ir runājis.
4 The earth dries up and withers away; the world shrivels up and withers away, the high and mighty people shrivel up along with the earth.
Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
5 The earth is polluted by its people; they have flouted God's laws, violated his regulations, and broken the eternal agreement with him.
Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
6 That is why a curse is destroying the earth. The people suffer because of their guilt. The inhabitants of the earth are burned up and only a few survive.
Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
7 The new wine dries up, and the vine withers. All the people celebrating groan.
Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
8 The happy sound of tambourines is over; the noise of the party-goers has stopped; the delightful harp music has finished,
Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
9 People don't sing any more as they drink wine, and the beer tastes bitter.
Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
10 The chaotic city is falling apart; every house is barred shut to keep others out.
Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
11 Crowds on the street are shouting, demanding to have wine. Joy turns into darkness. There's no happiness left on earth.
Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
12 The city is in a horrible state of ruin; its gates have been broken down.
Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
13 This is the way it's going to be all throughout the earth among the nations—only a few olives are left after the tree is shaken, only a few grapes are left to be gleaned after the harvest.
Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
14 These survivors shout aloud and sing for joy. From the west they praise the Lord's majesty.
Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
15 From the east they glorify the Lord; from the sea shores they praise the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
16 We hear songs coming from the ends of the earth, singing, “Glory to the God who does right.” But I'm miserable, miserable. Pity me! Deceitful people go on betraying, again and again.
No zemes gala mēs dzirdam dziesmas par godu tam taisnam. Bet man jāsaka: nelaime, nelaime, ak vai, man! Laupītāji laupa, laupīdami laupa laupītāji.
17 Terrors and pit-traps and snares are waiting for you, people of the earth.
Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
18 Those who run away in terror will fall into a pit-trap, and those who escape from the pit-trap will be caught in a snare. Heaven's windows are opened; earth's foundations shake.
Kas no briesmu balss izbiedēts bēgs, tas kritīs bedrē, un kas no bedres izkāps, tas taps sagūstīts valgā. Jo augstības logi atvērti un zemes pamati trīc.
19 The earth is completely broken up; the earth is ripped apart, the earth is violently shaken.
Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
20 The earth staggers to and fro like a drunk, and sways this way and that like a shelter. The guilt of its rebelliousness weighs heavily on it, and it collapses—it won't rise again.
Zeme streipuļos kā piedzēris vīrs un šūposies kā šūpulis, un viņas grēki uz viņas būs smagi, un viņa kritīs un necelsies vairs augšām.
21 At that time the Lord will punish all the high heavenly beings and the kings of the earth.
Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
22 They will be brought together, prisoners in a pit. They will be imprisoned, and eventually they will be punished.
Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
23 The moon will be embarrassed and the sun will be ashamed, for the Lord Almighty will reign in glory on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem in the presence of its leaders.
Un mēnesis nosarks, un saule nobālēs, jo Tas Kungs Cebaot ir ķēniņš Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, un viņas vecaju priekšā būs godība.
