Isaiah 41
1 [Yahweh says], “You [people who live on] [APO] islands in the ocean, be silent in front of me [while I ask you some questions]! Then you can be courageous and talk to me. We will meet together and decide [which one of us is right].
Ciešat Man klusu, salas, un lai tautas ņemas jaunu spēku. Lai tie atnāk, lai nu runā, ejam kopā tiesāties.
2 Who has urged this king to come from the east? Who has enabled his [army] to righteously defeat many nations and to trample their kings under their feet? With their swords they cut [their enemies] into tiny pieces [HYP]; with their arrows they cause their enemies to scatter like [SIM] the wind scatters chaff.
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 Even though they march through areas where they have not gone previously, they pursue [their enemies] and continue to march, and nothing stops them.
Ka viņš tiem dzenās pakaļ un neaiztikts iet ceļu, kur viņa kāja nebija gājusi?
4 Who has enabled rulers to do [DOU] mighty things like that? Who has done that throughout all generations? It is I, Yahweh; I was the first [one to do things like that], and I will be the last one [to do them].”
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 [People who live on] [PRS] islands in the ocean are afraid while they watch. People in remote areas tremble and gather together.
Salas to redzēja un bijājās, zemes gali drebēja; tie atnāca tuvu un piegāja klāt.
6 They encourage each other and say to each other, “Be strong!'
Viens palīdzēja otram un sacīja uz savu brāli: Esi stiprs!
7 The craftsmen encourage those who make things from gold, and the men who flatten metal encourage those who hammer metal (on an anvil/into shape). They all say, “The idol has been well made!” And then they carefully nail down the idol in order that it will not topple over!
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 [Yahweh says], “[You people of] Israel [are like] my servants; you are [descendants of] Jacob, whom I chose; [you are] descendants of Abraham, who [I said is] my friend.
Bet tu, Israēl, Mans kalps, Jēkab, ko Es esmu izredzējis, Ābrahāma, Mana mīļā, dzimums,
9 I summoned you from very distant places [DOU] on the earth, and I said ‘I [want you to] serve me; I have chosen you, and I will not reject you.’
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 Do not be afraid, because I will (be with/help) you. Do not be discouraged, because I am your God. I will enable you to be strong, and I will help you; I will hold you up with my powerful arm by which you will be rescued.
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 It is certain that all those who are angry with you [Israeli people] will be disgraced [DOU]. Those who oppose you will be wiped out; they will all die.
Redzi, kaunā taps un par apsmieklu visi, kas pret tevi iedegās; iznīks un ies bojā tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās.
12 If you search for those who tried to conquer you, you will not find them, [because they will all have disappeared]. Those who attacked you will not exist [any more].
Tu tos meklēsi, bet tos neatradīsi; tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās, iznīks, un kas ar tevi karo, taps par nieku.
13 [It will be as though] I will hold you up by your right hand. I am Yahweh, your God, and I say to you, ‘Do not be afraid, [because] I will help you.’
Jo Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, satveru tavu labo roku, Es, kas uz tevi saku: Nebīsties, Es tev palīdzu.
14 Although you people of Israel [DOU] [think that you are as insignificant as] worms, do not be afraid [of your enemies], because I will help you. I am Yahweh, the one who rescues you; I am 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 [I will cause] you to be like [MET] a (threshing sledge/big piece of metal that has sharp teeth for separating grain from chaff). You will tear [your enemies to bits], causing them to be like bits of chaff on the mountains.
Redzi, Es tevi daru par asiem jauniem kuļamiem ratiem, kam asas naglas, tu kalnus sakulsi un satrieksi un darīsi pakalnus par pelavām.
16 You will toss them up into the air, and a strong wind will blow them away [DOU]. [When that happens], you will rejoice about what I [have done for you]; you will praise me, 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 When poor and needy people need water and they have no water, and their tongues are very dry because they are very thirsty, I, Yahweh, will come and help them. I, the God to whom you Israeli people belong, will never abandon 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 cause rivers to flow for them on the barren hills. I will give them fountains in the valleys. I will fill [HYP] the desert with pools of water. Water from springs will flow into rivers, and the rivers will flow across the dry ground.
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 [trees] in the desert— cedar [trees], acacia [trees], myrtle [trees], olive [trees], cypress [trees], fir [trees], and pine [trees].
Es tuksnesī stādīšu ciedrus, akācijas un mirtes un eļļas kokus; Es sausā klajumā stādīšu priedes, egles un buksu kokus kopā.
20 [I will do that] in order that people who see it will think about it, and they will know and understand [DOU] that it is [I], Yahweh, who have done it; it is what [I], the Holy One of Israel, have done.
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 [I], Yahweh, the true king of Israel say [to you nations], “Tell what your idols can do for you!
Nesiet šurp savas tiesas lietas, saka Tas Kungs, atnesiet, ar ko jūs savu taisnību varat pierādīt, saka Jēkaba ķēniņš.
22 Bring them here to tell us what is going to happen! Ask them to tell us what things happened long ago, in order that we may think about those things, and learn if those things that they predicted really happened. Or, ask them to tell us about the future, in order that we can know what will happen.
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 [Yes], those idols should tell us what will happen in the future. If they do that, we will know that they are really gods. Tell them to do something—either something good or something bad! Tell them to do something that will cause us to be amazed and afraid!
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 But [that is impossible, because] idols are absolutely worthless [HYP]; they can do nothing, and I detest those who decide [to worship] idols.”
Redzi, jūs neesat nekas, un jūsu darbs nav it nekas; negantība ir, pēc jums kārot.
25 “[But] I have incited/urged a ruler who will come [with his army] from the north. I have summoned him to come from [his country, which is] east [of Israel], and I have given him my authority [MTY]. I will [enable his army to conquer other rulers]; they will trample those leaders like [SIM] a man who makes clay pots first tramples the 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 told you people long ago that this would happen?/No one told you people long ago that this would happen!) [RHQ] (Who predicted it, with the result that we can say, ‘What he predicted was correct!’?/No one predicted it, with the result that we can say, ‘What he predicted was correct!’) [RHQ] No one else said that it would happen.
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 was the first one to tell [the people of] Jerusalem, ‘Listen to this! I have appointed a messenger to tell good news to you!’
Es tas pirmais saku uz Ciānu: Redzi, te tas ir! - un uz Jeruzālemi: Es došu prieka vēstnesi.
28 None of your idols told you that [DOU]. And when I asked them questions, none of them was able to give me any answers.
Un Es skatos, bet tur nav neviena, un viņu starpā tur nav padoma devēja, ka Es tos vaicātu un tie dotu atbildi.
29 Think about it: Those idols are all useless, worthless [DOU] things. They are [as meaningless as] [MET] the wind.”
Redzi, tie visi nav nekas, viņu darbi nav it nekas, viņu lietās bildes ir tukšs vējš.
