Isaiah 18
1 Ah, land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
Ak vai, zeme, kur spārni žvingst, viņpus Kūsa upēm;
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus upon the waters! Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation tall and of glossy skin, to a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide!
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 All ye inhabitants of the world, and ye dwellers on the earth, when an ensign is lifted up on the mountains, see ye; and when the horn is blown, hear ye.
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 hath the LORD said unto me: I will hold Me still, and I will look on in My dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat 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 For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the bud becometh a ripening grape, He will cut off the sprigs with pruning-hooks, and the shoots will He take away and lop 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 They shall be left together unto the ravenous birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
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 a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and of glossy skin, and from a people terrible from their beginning onward; a nation that is sturdy and treadeth down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
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.
