Isaiah 44
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob My servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen;
Bet nu klausies, mans kalps Jēkab, un Israēl, ko esmu izredzējis.
2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, who will help thee: Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and thou, Jeshurun, 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 pour water upon the thirsty land, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour My spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring;
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 among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
Ka tie zaļos kā zāle, kā vītoli pie ūdens strautiem.
5 One shall say: 'I am the LORD'S'; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname 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 saith the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last, and 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 And who, as I, can proclaim — let him declare it, and set it in order for Me — since I appointed the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and that shall come to pass, let them declare.
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 Fear ye not, neither be afraid; have I not announced unto thee of old, and declared it? And ye are My witnesses. Is there a God beside Me? Yea, there is no Rock; I know not any.
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 They that fashion a graven image are all of them vanity, and their delectable things shall not profit; and their own witnesses see not, nor know; that they may 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 Who hath fashioned a god, or molten an image that is profitable for nothing?
Kas ir dievu taisījis un elku lējis, kas nekam neder?
11 Behold, all the fellows thereof shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen skilled above men; let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; they shall fear, they shall be ashamed 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 The smith maketh an axe, and worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with his strong arm; yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth; he drinketh no water, and is faint.
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 carpenter stretcheth out a line; he marketh it out with a pencil; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compasses, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, to dwell 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 heweth him down cedars, and taketh the ilex and the oak, and strengtheneth for himself one among the trees of the forest; he planteth a bay-tree, and the rain doth nourish it.
Viņš sev cērt ciedru kokus, ņem kļavu vai ozolu, un izlasās kādu starp meža kokiem; osi viņš dēstījis un lietus to ir uzaudzinājis.
15 Then a man useth it for fuel; and he taketh thereof, and warmeth himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
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 He burneth the half thereof in the fire; with the half thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied; yea, he warmeth himself, and saith: 'Aha, I am warm, I 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 residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image; he falleth down unto it and worshippeth, and prayeth unto it, and saith: 'Deliver me, for thou art 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 know not, neither do they understand; for their eyes are bedaubed, that they cannot see, and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Tie neatzīst un nesaprot, jo viņu acis aizlipušas, ka tie neredz, un viņu sirdis, ka tie nesaprot.
19 And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say: 'I have burned the half of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh and eaten it; and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?'
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 He striveth after ashes, a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say: 'Is there not 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 thou art My servant; I have formed thee, thou art Mine own servant; O Israel, thou shouldest 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 I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins; return unto Me, for I have redeemed thee.
Es izdeldu tavus pārkāpumus kā miglu un tavus grēkus ka mākoni. Atgriezies pie Manis, jo Es tevi esmu atpestījis.
23 Sing, O ye heavens, for the LORD hath done it; shout, ye lowest parts of the earth; break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein; for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and doth glorify Himself in Israel.
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 saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, and He that formed thee from the womb: I am the LORD, that maketh all things; that stretched forth the heavens alone; that spread abroad the earth by Myself;
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 That frustrateth the tokens of the imposters, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
Kas iznīcina zīlnieku zīmes un zvaigžņu cienītājus dara trakus, kas gudriem liek atpakaļ griezties un viņu gudrību dara par ģeķību.
26 That confirmeth the word of His servant, and performeth the counsel of His messengers; that saith of Jerusalem: 'She shall be inhabited'; and of the cities of Judah: 'They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof';
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 That saith to the deep: 'Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers';
Kas uz dziļumu saka: Izsīksti! Un tavus strautus Es darīšu sausus;
28 That saith of Cyrus: 'He is My shepherd, and shall perform all My pleasure'; even saying of Jerusalem: 'She shall be built'; and to the temple: 'My foundation shall be laid.'
Kas uz Kiru saka: Mans gans! Un viņš izdarīs visu Manu prātu, sacīdams uz Jeruzālemi: topi celta! Un Dieva nams lai top taisīts!
