Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the Lord maketh empty the land, and layeth it waste, marreth its surface, and scattereth abroad its inhabitants.
Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
2 And it shall be with the people as with the priest; with the servant as with his master; with the bondwoman as with her mistress; with the buyer as with the seller; with the lender as with the borrower; with the debtor as with his creditor.
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 Empty, emptied out shall be the land, and spoiled, utterly spoiled; for the Lord hath spoken this word.
Postīt to zemi izpostīs, un laupīt viņu izlaupīs; jo Tas Kungs šo vārdu ir runājis.
4 The land mourneth, withereth away, the world languishes, withereth away, the high ones of the people of the land do languish.
Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
5 For the land was defiled under its inhabitants; because they had transgressed the laws, neglected the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the land, and they that dwell therein suffer for their guilt; therefore are the inhabitants of the land dried up, and but few men are left.
Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted sigh.
Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
8 At rest is the mirth of the tambourines; ceased hath the tumult of the joyful; at rest is the mirth of the harp.
Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
9 Amidst singing shall they no [more] drink wine; bitter shall be the strong drink to those that drink it.
Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
10 Broken down is the city of desolation; shut up is every house that none can enter.
Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
11 A [painful] cry for wine is in the streets; darkened is all joy; banished is the mirth of the land.
Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
12 Destruction is left in the city, in ruins is beaten the gate.
Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
13 For thus shall it be in the midst of the land among the nations, as [at] the shaking of an olive-tree, as [at] the gleaning of grains when the vintage is done.
Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
14 These shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; because of the majesty of the Lord, they shout aloud from the sea.
Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
15 Therefore in the valleys honor ye the Lord; in the isles of the sea, the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
16 From the edge of the earth have we heard songs, “Glory to the righteous.” But I said, “Evil is mine, evil is mine, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.”
No zemes gala mēs dzirdam dziesmas par godu tam taisnam. Bet man jāsaka: nelaime, nelaime, ak vai, man! Laupītāji laupa, laupīdami laupa laupītāji.
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land.
Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the call of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for the windows from on high are opened, and there quaked the foundations of the earth.
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 Crushed entirely is the earth, split in pieces is the earth, shaken to its centre is the earth.
Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
20 The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunkard, and vibrateth like a watch-hut; and heavily lieth upon it its transgression; and it shall fall, and not 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 And it shall come to pass on that day, that the Lord will visit punishment on the host of heaven in heaven, and on the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
22 And they shall be gathered in heaps, as prisoners, in the prison, and shall be shut up in the dungeon, and thus after many days shall they be punished.
Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
23 And the moon shall be put to the blush, and the sun be made ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in glory.
Un mēnesis nosarks, un saule nobālēs, jo Tas Kungs Cebaot ir ķēniņš Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, un viņas vecaju priekšā būs godība.
