< Isaiah 49 >
1 Listen, islands, to me; and listen, you peoples, from far: the LORD has called me from the womb; from the body of my mother has he made mention of my name:
Klausāties uz mani, salas, un ņemiet vērā, tauta no tālienes: Tas Kungs mani aicinājis no mātes miesām, Viņš manu vārdu minējis, kad es vēl biju mātes miesās.
2 and he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand, he has hidden me; and he has made me a polished arrow, in his quiver has he kept me close:
Un Viņš manu muti darījis kā asu zobenu, Savas rokas ēnā Viņš mani apslēpis. Viņš mani iecēlis par spožu bultu un glabājis Savā bultu makā.
3 and he said to me, "You are my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified."
Un Viņš uz mani sacījis: tu esi Mans kalps, Israēl, pie kā Es pagodināšos.
4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the LORD, and my reward with my God."
Bet es sacīju: es esmu velti strādājis, es savu spēku esmu tērējis par neko un velti; tomēr mana tiesa ir pie Tā Kunga un mana alga pie mana Dieva.
5 Now says the LORD who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered to him; for I am honorable in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength.
Un nu saka Tas Kungs, kas no mātes miesām mani darījis Sev par kalpu, Jēkabu atkal atvest pie Viņa un Israēli pie Viņa sapulcināt - un es esmu pagodināts Tā Kunga acīs, un mans Dievs ir mans stiprums.
6 And he says, "Is it too insignificant a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the remnant of Israel? I will also give you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth."
Viņš saka: tas ir maz, ka tu esi Mans kalps, uztaisīt Jēkaba ciltis un atkal atvest Israēla izsargātos; bet Es tevi arī pagāniem esmu iecēlis par gaišumu, ka tu esi Mana pestīšana līdz pasaules galiem.
7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to the one who is despised, to those abhorred as a nation, the servant of rulers: "Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of the LORD who is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Pestītājs, viņa Svētais, uz to, kam dvēsele top nicināta, ko ļaudis tur par negantību, kas varas darītājiem par kalpu. Ķēniņi redzēs un pacelsies, lielkungi metīsies zemē Tā Kunga dēļ, kas ir uzticīgs, Israēla Svētā dēļ, kas tevi izredzējis.
8 Thus says the LORD, "In an acceptable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will preserve you, and give you as a covenant to the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritage:
Tā saka Tas Kungs: Es tevi esmu paklausījis labā pieņemīgā laikā, un tev esmu palīdzējis pestīšanas dienā. Un Es tevi pasargāšu un tevi iecelšu tautai par derību, zemi uztaisīt, ka ikviens iemanto savu postīto daļu,
9 saying to those who are bound, 'Come out.'; to those who are in darkness, 'Show yourselves.' "They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture.
Un sacīt uz tiem, kas cietumā: ejat ārā! Uz tiem, kas tumsā: nāciet gaismā! Tie ganīsies ceļmalā un ganība tiem būs visās augstās vietās.
10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun strike them: for he who has mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water he will guide them.
Tie ne izsalks, nedz izslāps, tos arī nespiedīs ne karstums, ne saule; jo viņu apžēlotājs tos vadīs un tos vedīs lēniņām pie ūdens avotiem.
11 I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Un Es darīšu visus Savus kalnus par ceļu, un Mani lielceļi taps paaugstināti.
12 Look, these shall come from far; and look, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Syene."
Redzi, šie nāks no tālienes, un redzi, šie no ziemeļa puses un no jūras, un šie no Sinimas zemes.
13 Sing, heavens; and be joyful, earth; and break forth into singing, mountains: for the LORD has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.
Gavilējat, debesis, un priecājies, zeme, sākat gavilēt, kalni, jo Tas Kungs iepriecina Savus ļaudis un apžēlojās par Saviem bēdīgiem.
14 But Zion said, "The LORD has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me."
Bet Ciāna saka: Tas Kungs mani atstājis, un Tas Kungs mani aizmirsis.
15 "Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
Vai sieva var aizmirst savu zīdāmo bērnu, neapžēlodamās par savu miesīgo dēlu? Un jebšu viņa to aizmirstu, tomēr Es tevi neaizmirsīšu!
16 Look, I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
Redzi, Savās rokās Es tevi esmu rakstījis, tavi mūri ir vienmēr Manā priekšā.
17 Your builders hurry; your destroyers and those who devastated you shall depart from you.
Tavi bērni steigsies šurp, bet tavi postītāji un izdeldētāji ies projām no tevis.
18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live," says the LORD, "you shall surely clothe yourself with them all as with an ornament, and dress yourself with them, like a bride.
Pacel savas acis visapkārt, un redzi: visi šie sapulcinājās un nāk pie tevis. Tik tiešām kā Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs, tu tapsi ar visiem šiem apģērbta tā kā ar glītumu un apjozīsies ar tiem kā brūte,
19 "For, as for your waste and your desolate places, and your land that has been destroyed, surely now you shall be too small for the inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.
Jo tava aplaupītā, iztukšotā, nopostītā zeme tev nu taps visai šaura tik daudz iedzīvotāju dēļ, un tavi aprijēji atkāpsies tālu no tevis.
20 The children of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too small for me; give place to me that I may dwell.
Tad tie bērni, kas bija zuduši, sacīs priekš tavām ausīm: tā vieta priekš manis ir šaura; ej tālāk, ka es varu dzīvot.
21 Then you will say in your heart, 'Who has conceived these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering back and forth? Who has brought up these? Look, I was left alone; these, where were they?'"
Bet tu sacīsi savā sirdī: kas man šos dzemdinājis, jo es biju bez bērniem, vientule, es biju cietumā vesta un atstumta; kas tad šos man ir uzaudzinājis? Redzi, es biju atstāta viena, kur tad šie bija?
22 Thus says the LORD, "Look, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my banner to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.
Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es pacelšu Savu roku uz pagāniem un izcelšu tautām Savu karogu, tad tie tavus dēlus atnesīs klēpī, un tavas meitas nesīs uz kamiešiem.
23 Kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers: they shall bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am the LORD; and those who wait for me shall not be disappointed."
Un ķēniņi būs tavi audzinātāji un viņu ķēniņienes tavas zīdītājas. Tie metīsies uz vaigu zemē priekš tevis un laizīs tavu kāju pīšļus. Tad tu manīsi, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, pie kā netop kaunā, kas uz Mani cerē.
24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?
Vai gan varenam var atņemt laupījumu? Jeb vai taisni var izsprukt no viņa cietuma?
25 But thus says the LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant shall be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.
Bet nu Tas Kungs tā saka: tiešām, cietumnieki varenajam taps atņemti, un laupījums izspruks varas darītājam; jo taviem pretiniekiem Es stāšos pretī, un tavus bērnus Es izpestīšu.
26 I will feed those who oppress you with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, the LORD, am your Savior, and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob."
Un tavus spaidītājus Es ēdināšu ar viņu pašu miesām, un tie piedzersies no savām pašu asinīm kā no salda vīna, un visa miesa manīs, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs un tavs izglābējs, tas Varenais iekš Jēkaba.
