Isaiah 58
1 “Cry loudly; do not hold back. Lift up your voice like a trumpet. Confront my people with their rebellion, and the house of Jacob with their sins.
Sauc pilnā kaklā, netaupi, pacel savu balsi kā bazūni, un pasludini Maniem ļaudīm viņu pārkāpumus un Jēkaba namam viņa grēkus.
2 Yet they seek me daily and delight in the knowledge of my ways, like a nation that practiced righteousness and did not abandon the law of their God. They ask me for righteous judgments; they take pleasure in the thought of God coming near.
Jo Tie Mani meklē ikdienas, tā kā tiem būtu labs prāts pie Manu ceļu atzīšanas. Kā ļaudis, kas darījuši taisnību un nebūtu atstājuši sava Dieva tiesu, tie prasa no Manis taisnības tiesu; tie grib, lai Dievs tiem tuvojās.
3 'Why have we fasted,' they say, 'but you do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves, but you do not notice?' Look, on the day of your fast you find your own pleasure and oppress all your laborers.
Kāpēc (tā tie saka) mēs gavējam, un tu to neuzlūko? Kāpēc mēs mērdējam savu dvēseli, un tu to negribi zināt? Redzi, tai dienā, kad jūs gavējat, tad jūs ejat pēc savas peļņas un dzenat visus savus strādniekus.
4 Look, you fast to quarrel and fight, and to hit with your fist of wickedness; you do not fast today to make your voice heard above.
Redzi, jūs gavējat bārdamies un riedamies un bezdievīgi kaudamies ar dūri. Jūs negavējat, kā pieklājās, lai jūsu balsis būtu dzirdamas augstībā.
5 Is this really the kind of fast that I would want: A day for anybody to humble himself, for him to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Do you really call this a fast, a day that pleases Yahweh?
Vai tāda ir gavēšana, kas Man patīk, diena, kur cilvēks savu dvēseli mērdē? Kad galvu nokar kā niedre un gulstas uz maisa un pelnos, vai jūs to saucat par gavēšanu un par dienu, kas Tam Kungam patīk?
6 Is not this the fast that I choose: To release wicked bonds, to undo the ropes of the yoke, to set the crushed ones free, and to break every yoke?
Vai tā nav gavēšana, kas Man patīk: atraisīt no netaisnām saitēm, no jūga atsvabināt, spaidītus atlaist vaļā un salauzt ikkatru jūgu?
7 Is it not to break your bread with the hungry and to bring the poor and homeless into your house?” When you see someone naked, you should clothe him; and you should not hide yourself from your own relatives.
Vai tā nepiederas, maizi lauzt izsalkušiem, namā ievest nabaga izdzītus, kailu ieraugot, to apsegt un neapslēpties no sava tuvāka?
8 Then your light would be broken open like the sunrise, and your healing would quickly sprout up; your righteousness would go before you, and the glory of Yahweh would be your rearguard.
Tad ausīs tava gaisma kā dienas blāzma, un tava dzīvība no jauna zels, un tava taisnība ies tavā priekšā, un Tā Kunga godība tevi pavadīs.
9 Then you would call, and Yahweh would answer; you would cry out for help, and he would say, “Here I am.” If you take away from among yourselves the yoke, the accusing finger, and the speech of wickedness,
Tad tu sauksi, un Tas Kungs atbildēs, tu brēksi, un Viņš sacīs: redzi, še Es esmu. Ja no sava vidus izraidīsi varmācību, mitēsies ar pirkstiem rādīt un nerunāsi ļauna,
10 if you yourselves provide for the hungry and satisfy the need of the distressed; then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness will be like the noonday.
Un ja tu izsalkušam atdarīsi savu sirdi un paēdināsi apbēdināto dvēseli, tad tava gaisma atspīdēs tumsībā, un tava krēsla būs kā dienas vidus;
11 Then Yahweh will lead you continually and satisfy you in regions where there is no water, and he will strengthen your bones. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
Un Tas Kungs tevi vadīs bez mitēšanās un pieēdinās tavu dvēseli tuksnesī un stiprinās tavus kaulus. Un tu būsi kā slacināts dārzs un kā ūdens avots, kam ūdens netrūkst.
12 Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the ruins of many generations; you will be called “The repairer of the wall,” “The restorer of streets to live on.”
Un tavi bērni uzcels vecu vecās posta vietas, tu atjaunosi pagājušu cilšu pamatus un tevi sauks (par) plaisumu aizmūrētāju un ceļu atjaunotāju, kur var dzīvot.
13 Suppose that you turn back your feet from traveling on the Sabbath day, and from doing your own pleasure on my holy day. Suppose that you call the Sabbath a delight, and that you call the matters of Yahweh holy and honored. Suppose that you honor the Sabbath by leaving your own business, and by not finding your own pleasure and by not speaking your own words.
Ja tu savu kāju savaldi svētdienā un nedari, kas tev patīk, Manā svētā dienā, un ja tu dusas dienu nosauci par līksmību, par Tā Kunga svēto (dienu), kas cienījama, un tu tā viņu godā turi, ka nestaigā savus ceļus nedz ej pēc savas pelņas nedz runā liekus vārdus.
14 “Then you will find delight in Yahweh; and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you from the inheritance of Jacob your father—for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.”
Tad tu priecāsies iekš Tā Kunga, un Es tevi vadīšu pār zemes augstumiem, un Es tevi mielošu ar tava tēva Jēkaba mantību; jo Tā Kunga mute to runājusi.
