Isaiah 26
1 Some day, [people in] Judah will sing this song: Our city [of Jerusalem] is strong! Yahweh protects our city; He is like [MET] a wall that surrounds it.
Tai dienā šo dziesmu dziedās Jūda zemē: mums ir stipra pilsēta, pestīšanu Viņš mums ceļ par mūri un par stipru pili.
2 Open the gates of the city for people who are righteous; allow people who faithfully [obey Yahweh] to enter the city.
Atveriet vārtus, lai taisni ļaudis ieiet, kas ticību tur.
3 Yahweh, those who trust in you, those who firmly resolve to never doubt you, you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
Kam nešaubīgs prāts, tam Tu uzturi pastāvīgu mieru, jo uz Tevi viņš paļaujas.
4 [So] always trust in Yahweh, because Yahweh, [our God], is forever [like] [MET] a huge rock [under which we are sheltered/protected/safe].
Paļaujaties uz To Kungu mūžīgi, jo Tas Kungs Dievs ir viens akmens kalns mūžīgi.
5 He humbles proud people and destroys cities whose people are arrogant. He causes those cities to collapse into the dust/dirt.
Jo Viņš nogāž, kas augstībā dzīvo, to augsto pili, to Viņš pazemo, to Viņš pazemo pie zemes, to Viņš met pīšļos.
6 [When that happens], poor and oppressed people will trample on the ruins.
Kājas viņu samīs, zemu ļaužu kājas, nabagu pēdas,
7 [But as for] righteous people, Yahweh, you do what is right; [it is as though] you cause the paths where they walk to be level and smooth.
Taisnam ceļš ir līdzens, taisnam teku Tu līdzini.
8 Yahweh, by obeying your laws we show that we trust you to help us; and what we desire is that you will be honored/praised/exalted.
Uz Tevi, uz Tavas tiesāšanas ceļu mēs arī gaidām, Kungs; pēc Tava vārda un pēc Tavas piemiņas dvēsele kāro!
9 [All] through the night I [SYN] desire to know you better, and each morning I still want to be with you. [Only] when you come to judge [and punish] people who live on the earth will they learn to do what is right.
Mana dvēsele ilgojās pēc Tevis naktī, un mans gars iekš manis agri Tevi meklē. Jo kad Tava sodība parādās virs zemes, tad pasaules iedzīvotāji mācās taisnību.
10 [But] your acting kindly toward wicked people does not cause them to do what is good. [Even] in places where people do what is right, the wicked people continue to do what is evil, and they do not realize that you, Yahweh, are great.
Kad bezdievīgam parāda žēlastību, tad viņš nemācās taisnību; viņš dara netaisnību taisnā zemē, jo viņš neredz Tā Kunga augstību.
11 Yahweh, [it is as though] your fist is raised up [ready to strike them], but they do not realize that. Show them that you are very eager to help your people. If your enemies would realize that, they would be ashamed; allow your fire to burn them up [because they are] your enemies.
Kungs, Tava roka ir paaugstināta, to tie neredz; tie redzēs kaunēdamies to karstumu par Taviem ļaudīm, un uguns aprīs Tavus pretiniekus.
12 Yahweh, [we desire that] you will allow things to go well for us; everything that we have done is what you have enabled us to do.
Kungs, Tu mums dosi mieru, jo visu mūsu darbu Tu mums esi padarījis.
13 Yahweh, our God, others have ruled over us, but you [MTY] are the only one whom we honor.
Kungs, mūsu Dievs, citi kungi bez Tevis pār mums valdījuši; bet caur Tevi vien mēs pieminam Tavu vārdu.
14 Those who ruled us are [now] gone; they are dead; their spirits have left this earth, and they will not become alive [again]. You punished those rulers and got rid of them, and people do not even remember them any more.
Tie ir nomiruši un netaps dzīvi, tie ir ēnas un vairs necelsies; tā Tu tos esi piemeklējis un izdeldējis un visu viņu piemiņu iznīcinājis.
15 Yahweh, you have enabled our nation to become great; we are more in [now], and we have more land, [so we] thank/praise you.
Tu, Kungs, esi vairojis tos ļaudis, vairojis tos ļaudis, parādījis savu godību, tālu aizcēlis visas zemes robežas.
16 Yahweh, when we were distressed, we asked you [to help us]; when you disciplined/punished us, we were able only to whisper when we prayed to you.
Kungs, bēdās tie Tevi meklē, kad Tu tos pārmāci, tad tie gauži lūdzās.
17 Like pregnant women writhe and cry out when they are giving birth, we suffered very much, too.
Tā kā grūtai sievai ir sāpes, kad viņai dzemdēšana uziet, un tā brēc savās raizēs, tā mēs bijām, Kungs, Tavā priekšā.
18 We had severe pain, but nothing good resulted [MET] from it. We have not rescued our people [from being conquered by our enemies], and we have not given birth to children [who will rule the world correctly] (OR, not defeated the armies [that have attacked other nations].
Mēs bijām grūti, mēs bijām raizēs, bet dzemdējām tik vēju; mēs tai zemei nevarējām palīdzēt, un pasaules iedzīvotāji nedzima.
19 But Yahweh’s people who have died will become alive [again], their corpses will become alive! Those whose bodies lie in graves will rise and shout joyfully! His light will be [like] dew that falls on his people who have died, who are [now] in the place where the dead people are, [and will cause them to become alive again].
Tavi mirušie dzīvos, mani miroņi celsies augšām. Uzmostaties un gavilējiet, jūs, kas pīšļos guliet; jo Tava rasa ir kā rasa uz zāli, un mirušos zeme izdos ārā.
20 But now, my people/fellow-citizens, go home and lock your doors! Hide for a short time, until [Yahweh] is no longer angry.
Ejat, Mani ļaudis, ejat savos kambaros, un aizslēdzat savas durvis aiz sevis, paslēpjaties kādu mazu brīdi, kamēr tā dusmība pāriet.
21 Listen to this: Yahweh will come from heaven to punish [all] the people on the earth for the sins that they have committed. People will be able to see [PRS] the (blood of those/the people) who have been murdered; their murderers will no longer be able to hide.
Jo redzi, Tas Kungs izies no Savas vietas, piemeklēt netaisnību pie zemes iedzīvotājiem, un zeme atsegs savas asinis un neapklās vairs savus nokautos.
