Isaiah 41
1 Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the peoples renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Ciešat Man klusu, salas, un lai tautas ņemas jaunu spēku. Lai tie atnāk, lai nu runā, ejam kopā tiesāties.
2 Who hath raised up one from the east, whom he calleth in righteousness to his foot? he giveth nations before him, and maketh him rule over kings; he giveth them as the dust to his sword, as the driven stubble to his bow.
Kas no austruma puses to uzmodinājis, kam taisnība iet līdz, kur viņš staigā? Kas tautas viņa priekšā ir nodevis un darījis, ka viņš valda pār ķēniņiem, un tos devis viņa zobenam kā pīšļus un viņa stopam kā izkaisītas pelavas,
3 He pursueth them, and passeth on safely; even by a way that he had not gone with his feet.
Ka viņš tiem dzenās pakaļ un neaiztikts iet ceļu, kur viņa kāja nebija gājusi?
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last, I am he.
Kas to ir darījis un pastrādājis? Tas, kas cilvēku ciltis aicinājis no iesākuma. Es Tas Kungs esmu tas pirmais un pie tiem pēcnākamiem Es vēl esmu tas pats.
5 The isles saw, and feared; the ends of the earth trembled: they drew near, and came.
Salas to redzēja un bijājās, zemes gali drebēja; tie atnāca tuvu un piegāja klāt.
6 They helped every one his neighbour; and [every one] said to his brother, Be of good courage.
Viens palīdzēja otram un sacīja uz savu brāli: Esi stiprs!
7 So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smiteth the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
Un kalējs drošināja sudrabkali, kas ar veseri gludina to, kas sit uz laktu, un sacīja par to taisīto darbu: Tas būs labs; pēc viņš to stiprināja ar naglām, lai nekust.
8 But thou, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend;
Bet tu, Israēl, Mans kalps, Jēkab, ko Es esmu izredzējis, Ābrahāma, Mana mīļā, dzimums,
9 thou whom I have taken hold of from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the corners thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee and not cast thee away;
Tu, ko Es esmu sagrābis no pasaules galiem un esmu aicinājis no viņas malām, un uz ko Es sacījis: Tu esi Mans kalps, tevi Es esmu izredzējis un tevi neesmu atmetis, -
10 Fear thou not, for I am with thee; be not dismayed, for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Nebīsties, jo Es esmu ar tevi, neatkāpies, jo Es esmu tavs Dievs; Es tevi stiprināju, Es tev arī palīdzu, Es tevi arī turu ar Savas taisnības labo roku.
11 Behold, all they that are incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they that strive with thee shall be as nothing, and shall perish.
Redzi, kaunā taps un par apsmieklu visi, kas pret tevi iedegās; iznīks un ies bojā tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās.
12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contend with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
Tu tos meklēsi, bet tos neatradīsi; tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās, iznīks, un kas ar tevi karo, taps par nieku.
13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Jo Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, satveru tavu labo roku, Es, kas uz tevi saku: Nebīsties, Es tev palīdzu.
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.
Nebīsties, tārpiņ Jēkab, Israēla pulciņ; Es tev palīdzu, saka Tas Kungs, un tavs Pestītājs ir Tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Redzi, Es tevi daru par asiem jauniem kuļamiem ratiem, kam asas naglas, tu kalnus sakulsi un satrieksi un darīsi pakalnus par pelavām.
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, thou shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Tu tos vētīsi, ka vējš tos aiznes un viesulis tos izkaisa. Bet tu priecāsies iekš Tā Kunga un lielīsies iekš Israēla svētā Dieva.
17 The poor and needy seek water and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst; I the LORD will answer them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Tie bēdīgie un nabagi meklē ūdeni, un nav, viņu mēle kalst no tvīkšanas. Es Tas Kungs tos paklausīšu, Es, Israēla Dievs, tos neatstāšu.
18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Es upes izlaidīšu no plikiem kalniem un avotus pašās ielejās; Es tuksnesi darīšu par ūdens ezeru un sausu zemi par ūdens avotiem.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together:
Es tuksnesī stādīšu ciedrus, akācijas un mirtes un eļļas kokus; Es sausā klajumā stādīšu priedes, egles un buksu kokus kopā.
20 that they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Lai tie redz un atzīst, apdomā un visi kopā saprot, ka Tā Kunga roka to ir darījusi, un tas Svētais iekš Israēla to ir radījis.
21 Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Nesiet šurp savas tiesas lietas, saka Tas Kungs, atnesiet, ar ko jūs savu taisnību varat pierādīt, saka Jēkaba ķēniņš.
22 Let them bring them forth, and declare unto us what shall happen: declare ye the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or shew us things for to come.
Lai nāk un mums sludina tās lietas, kas vēl notiks. Stāstiet tās pirmās lietas, kas ir bijušas, ka mēs tās savā sirdī ievērojam un zinām viņu galu, vai sludinājiet mums tās nākamās lietas.
23 Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Stāstiet tās zīmes, kas vēl būs, ka atzīstam, jūs esam dievus. Un dariet ko darīdami, vai labu, vai ļaunu, tad saskatīsimies un to kopā redzēsim.
24 Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Redzi, jūs neesat nekas, un jūsu darbs nav it nekas; negantība ir, pēc jums kārot.
25 I have raised up one from the north, and he is come; from the rising of the sun one that calleth upon my name: and he shall come upon rulers as upon mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Es to pamodināju no ziemeļa puses, un viņš nāk no saules lēkšanas, kas piesauc Manu vārdu; viņš ies pār valdniekiem kā pār dubļiem, un kā podnieks min mālus.
26 Who hath declared it from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
Kas to stāstījis no iesākuma, ka mēs to zinātu, jeb pagājušos laikos, ka mēs sacītu: Taisnība? Bet neviena nav, kas to stāstījis, un neviena, kas ko labu sludinājis, un neviena, kas no jums būtu dzirdējis vārdus.
27 [I] first [will say] unto Zion, Behold, behold them; and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Es tas pirmais saku uz Ciānu: Redzi, te tas ir! - un uz Jeruzālemi: Es došu prieka vēstnesi.
28 And when I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counsellor, that, when I ask of them, can answer a word.
Un Es skatos, bet tur nav neviena, un viņu starpā tur nav padoma devēja, ka Es tos vaicātu un tie dotu atbildi.
29 Behold, all of them, their works are vanity [and] nought: their molten images are wind and confusion.
Redzi, tie visi nav nekas, viņu darbi nav it nekas, viņu lietās bildes ir tukšs vējš.
