Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
Spriedums par jūras tuksnesi. Tā kā aukas no dienvidiem(Negebas), kas visu apgāž, tā nāks no tuksneša, no briesmīgas zemes.
2 A grievous vision is declared to me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler plundereth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all its sighing have I made to cease.
Grūta parādīšana man darīta zināma. Laupītājs laupa, postītājs posta. Nāc šurp, Elam, apstāj, Medija! Visām nopūtām par tiem es darīšu galu.
3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
Tādēļ mani gurni dreb, raizes mani sagrābušas, kā dzemdētājas raizes. Es lokos, ka vairs nedzirdu, un iztrūcinājos, ka vairs neredzu.
4 My heart panted, fearfulness terrified me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear to me.
Mana sirds trīc, izbailes mani iztrūcina, mīļā nakts tumsa man palikusi par biedēkli.
5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.
Sataisi galdu, nostādi vaktis, ēd, dzer! Ceļaties, virsnieki, svaidat bruņas.
6 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej, nostādi vaktnieku, lai tas stāsta, ko redz.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
Un viņš redzēja ratus, jātniekus pa pāriem, ēzeļu pulku, kamieļu pulku, un viņš klausīdamies klausījās it uzmanīgi,
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my post whole nights:
Un sauca ar lauvas balsi: Kungs, es stāvu uz vakts torņa visu cauru dienu un vaktēdams vaktēju caurām naktīm.
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken to the ground.
Redzi, tur nāk rati ar vīriem un jātnieki pa pāriem. Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: kritusi, kritusi Bābele, un visi viņas dievekļu tēli ir sadauzīti pie zemes.
10 O my threshing, and the grain of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared to you.
Ak tu mans izkultais, tu mana klona labībiņa! Ko es esmu dzirdējis no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Israēla Dieva, to jums esmu pasludinājis.
11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Spriedums par Dumu: uz mani sauc no Seīra: sargs, cik gara vēl nakts? Sargs, cik gara vēl nakts?
12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Tas sargs saka: rīts nāk un atkal nakts. Ja gribat vaicāt, vaicājiet! Atgriežaties, nāciet!
13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
Spriedums par Arābiju: Arābijas tuksnešos paliekat par nakti, jūs Dedana ceļa vīri.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they met with their bread him that fled.
Nāciet izslāpušiem pretī ar ūdeni, jūs Temas zemes iedzīvotāji, pasniedziet maizi bēdzējiem.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Jo tie bēg no zobena, no izvilkta zobena un no uzvilkta stopa un no briesmīgas kaujas.
16 For thus hath the Lord said to me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: gada laikā, kādi ir algādža gadi, tad beigsies visa Ķedara godība.
17 And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
Un strēlnieku atlikums no tiem vareniem Ķedara bērniem būs mazums; jo Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, to ir runājis.
