Isaiah 44
1 Now listen, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen:
Bet nu klausies, mans kalps Jēkab, un Israēl, ko esmu izredzējis.
2 This is what Yahweh says, he who made you and formed you in the womb and who will help you: “Do not fear, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, kas tevi radījis un taisījis no mātes miesām, kas tev palīdz: Nebīsties, Mans kalps Jēkab, un tu Ješurun, ko Es esmu izredzējis.
3 For I will pour water on the thirsty ground, and flowing streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your children.
Jo Es liešu ūdeni uz iztvīkušiem un straumes uz izkaltušiem. Es izliešu Savu Garu uz tavu dzimumu un Savu svētību uz taviem bērnu bērniem,
4 They will spring up among the grass, like willows by the streams of water.
Ka tie zaļos kā zāle, kā vītoli pie ūdens strautiem.
5 One will say, 'I belong to Yahweh,' and another will call out the name of Jacob, and another will write on his hand 'Belonging to Yahweh,' and name himself by the name of Israel.”
Šis sacīs: Es piederu Tam Kungam! Un cits sauks Jēkaba vārdu, un trešais rakstīs ar savu roku: Es padodos Tam Kungam! Un godās Israēla vārdu.
6 This is what Yahweh says—the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts: “I am the first, and I am the last; and there is no God but me.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš un viņa Pestītājs, Tas Kungs Cebaot: Es esmu tas pirmais un Es esmu tas pēdīgais, un cita Dieva nav, kā Es vien.
7 Who is like me? Let him announce it and explain to me the events that occurred since I established my ancient people, and let them declare the events to come.
Un kas tā var sludināt kā Es, lai saka un lai liek Man priekšā, kamēr Es esmu licis pirmos ļaudis pasaulē. Lai tie jel stāsta tās nākamās lietas un kas notiks.
8 Do not fear or be afraid. Have I not declared to you long ago, and announced it? You are my witnesses: Is there any God besides me? There is no other Rock; I know of none.”
Neizbaiļojaties un nebīstaties, - vai Es to sen jau tev neesmu darījis zināmu un stāstījis? Un jūs esat Mani liecinieki, vai ir cits Dievs nekā Es vien? Tiešām, nav cita akmens kalna, Es nezinu neviena.
9 All who fashion idols are nothing; the things they delight in are worthless; their witnesses cannot see or know anything, and they will be put to shame.
Elku taisītāji visi nav nekas, un viņu mīlulīši neder nekam, un paši ir viņu liecinieki, ka tie neredz un nesaprot; tādēļ tie paliks kaunā.
10 Who would form a god or cast an idol that is worthless?
Kas ir dievu taisījis un elku lējis, kas nekam neder?
11 Look, all his associates will be put to shame; the craftsmen are only men. Let them take their stand together; they will cower and be put to shame.
Redzi, visi viņu biedri paliks kaunā, jo tie taisītāji ir cilvēki. Tad lai tie visi gan sapulcinājas un ceļas, tomēr tie izbīsies un kopā paliks kaunā.
12 The smith works with his tools, forming it, working over the coals. He shapes it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He is hungry, and his strength wanes; he drinks no water and becomes faint.
Kalējs taisa cirvi un strādā svelmē un to pataisa ar veseriem un to izstrādā ar sava elkoņa stiprumu; viņš cieš arī badu, ka paliek bez spēka, viņš nedzer ūdeni, ka paliek gurdens.
13 The carpenter measures the wood with a line, and marks it with a stylus. He shapes it with his tools and marks it out with a compass. He shapes it after the figure of a man, like an attractive human, so it may stay in a house.
Kas koka darbu strādā, izvelk mēra auklu, nozīmē to ar sarkanu krītu, aptēš to ar cirvjiem un apraksta to ar cirkuli un dara to pēc vīra ģīmja, kā skaistu cilvēku, lai stāv namā.
14 He cuts down cedars, or chooses a cypress tree or an oak tree. He picks for himself trees in the forest. He plants a fir tree and the rain makes it grow.
Viņš sev cērt ciedru kokus, ņem kļavu vai ozolu, un izlasās kādu starp meža kokiem; osi viņš dēstījis un lietus to ir uzaudzinājis.
15 Then a man uses it for a fire and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes from it a god and bows down to it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.
Tie ir cilvēkam dedzināt, un viņš ņem no tiem un sildās, un iededzina un cep maizi un arī iztaisa dievekli un to pielūdz, dara elku un metās priekš tā ceļos.
16 He burns part of the wood for the fire, roasting his meat over it. He eats and is satisfied. He warms himself and says, “Ah, I am warm, I have seen the fire.”
Vienu pusi viņš sadedzina ugunī, no tās puses viņš ēd gaļu, viņš cep cepešus un paēd, pats arī sildās un saka: nu labi, man paliek silti, es samanu uguni.
17 With the rest of the wood he makes a god, his carved image; he bows down to it and reverences it, and prays to it saying, “Rescue me, for you are my god.”
Un to, kas atliek, viņš taisa par dievu, sev par elku; priekš tā viņš metās ceļos un klanās un to pielūdz un saka: izpestī mani, jo tu esi mans dievs.
18 They do not know, nor do they understand, for their eyes are blind and cannot see, and their hearts cannot perceive.
Tie neatzīst un nesaprot, jo viņu acis aizlipušas, ka tie neredz, un viņu sirdis, ka tie nesaprot.
19 No one thinks, nor do they comprehend and say, “I have burned part of the wood in the fire; yes, I have also baked bread upon its coals. I have roasted meat over its coals and eaten. Now should I make the other part of the wood into something disgusting to worship? Should I bow down to a block of wood?”
Un neviens to neņem pie sirds, un nav ne atzīšanas, ne saprašanas, ka sacītu: vienu pusi es esmu sadedzinājis ar uguni un uz tām oglēm arī maizi cepis, es gaļu pie tā esmu cepis un ēdis, vai nu man to, kas atliek bija darīt par negantību, vai man priekš koka gabala bija ceļos mesties?
20 It is as if he were eating ashes; his deceived heart misleads him. He cannot rescue himself, nor does he say, “This thing in my right hand is a false god.”
Kam prāts nesās uz pelniem, to apmānītā sirds maldina, un viņš neizglābj savu dvēseli un nesaka: vai nav viltība manā labā rokā?
21 Think about these things, Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant: I have formed you; you are my servant: Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.
Piemini to, Jēkab un Israēl, jo tu esi Mans kalps; Es tevi esmu radījis, tu esi Mans kalps, Israēl, neaizmirsti Mani.
22 I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your rebellious deeds, and like a cloud, your sins; return to me, for I have redeemed you.
Es izdeldu tavus pārkāpumus kā miglu un tavus grēkus ka mākoni. Atgriezies pie Manis, jo Es tevi esmu atpestījis.
23 Sing, you heavens, for Yahweh has done this; shout, you depths of the earth. Break out into singing, you mountains, you forest with every tree in it; for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and will show his glory in Israel.
Gavilējat, debesis, jo Tas Kungs to ir darījis, sauciet priecīgi, zemes dziļumi, ceļat troksni, kalni, ar prieku dziesmām, meži un visi koki iekš tā; jo Tas Kungs Jēkabu atpestījis un Israēli pagodinājis.
24 This is what Yahweh says, your Redeemer, he who formed you from the womb: “I am Yahweh, who made everything, who alone stretched out the heavens, who alone fashioned the earth.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs, kas tevi taisījis no mātes miesām. Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas visu dara, kas debesi izpletis, Es viens pats, un kas zemi izklājis, bez cita neviena,
25 I who frustrate the omens of the empty talkers and who disgrace those who read omens; I who overturn the wisdom of the wise and make their advice foolish.
Kas iznīcina zīlnieku zīmes un zvaigžņu cienītājus dara trakus, kas gudriem liek atpakaļ griezties un viņu gudrību dara par ģeķību.
26 I, Yahweh, who confirmed the words of his servant and brings to pass the predictions of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'She will be inhabited,' and of the towns of Judah, 'They will be built again, and I will raise up their ruins';
Kas apstiprina Sava kalpa vārdu un liek izdoties Savu vēstnešu padomam; kas uz Jeruzālemi saka, lai tur atkal ļaudis dzīvo, un uz Jūda pilsētām: Jūs tapsiet atkal uztaisītas, un Es uztaisīšu viņas postītās vietas;
27 who says to the deep sea, 'Be dry, and I will dry up your currents.'
Kas uz dziļumu saka: Izsīksti! Un tavus strautus Es darīšu sausus;
28 Yahweh is the one who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd, he will do my every wish; he will decree about Jerusalem, 'She will be rebuilt,' and about the temple, 'Let its foundations be laid.'”
Kas uz Kiru saka: Mans gans! Un viņš izdarīs visu Manu prātu, sacīdams uz Jeruzālemi: topi celta! Un Dieva nams lai top taisīts!
