< Isaiah 48 >

1 “Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by the LORD’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
Klausāties šo, Jēkaba nams, ko sauc pēc Israēla vārda un kas iztecējuši no Jūda avota, kas zvērējāt pie Tā Kunga vārda un pieminat Israēla Dievu, bet nevis patiesībā nedz taisnībā!
2 for they call themselves citizens of the holy city, and rely on the God of Israel; the LORD of Hosts is his name.
Jo tie nosaucās pēc tās svētās pilsētas un paļaujas uz Israēla Dievu; Kungs Cebaot ir viņa vārds.
3 I have declared the former things from of old. Yes, they went out of my mouth, and I revealed them. I did them suddenly, and they happened.
“Tās priekšējās lietas Es sen jau esmu pasludinājis, un no Manas mutes tās nākušas, un Es tās esmu darījis zināmas. Piepeši tās esmu izdarījis, un tās notikušas.
4 Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew, and your brow bronze;
Es zināju tevi esam stūrgalvīgu, un ka tavs pakausis ir dzelzs gabals un tava piere varš.
5 therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
Tādēļ tev to sen esmu pasludinājis, pirms tas notika, Es tev to esmu devis dzirdēt, ka tu nesacītu: mans elkadievs to darījis un mans tēls un mana bilde to pavēlējuši.
6 You have heard it. Now see all this. And you, won’t you declare it? “I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, which you have not known.
Tu to esi dzirdējis, redzi nu visu to! Vai tad jums to nebūs pasludināt? No šā brīža Es tev daru zināmas jaunas lietas un apslēptas lietas, ko tu nezini.
7 They are created now, and not from of old. Before today, you didn’t hear them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
Tagad tās radītas un nevis sen, un ne dienu iepriekš tu no tām neesi dzirdējis, lai nevari sacīt: redzi, es to esmu zinājis.
8 Yes, you didn’t hear. Yes, you didn’t know. Yes, from of old your ear was not opened, for I knew that you dealt very treacherously, and were called a transgressor from the womb.
To tu neesi ne dzirdējis ne zinājis nedz tava auss senāk bijusi atdarīta. Jo Es zināju, ka tu esi pavisam neuzticams, un ka no mātes miesām tevi sauc (par) pārkāpēju.
9 For my name’s sake, I will defer my anger, and for my praise, I hold it back for you so that I don’t cut you off.
Sava vārda dēļ Es Savu dusmību pavilcināju, un Savas slavas dēļ Es savaldos tev par labu, ka tevi neizdeldu.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver. I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.
Redzi, Es tevi esmu šķīstījis, tomēr nekā sudrabu, Es tevi esmu pārbaudījis bēdu ceplī.
11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I will do it; for how would my name be profaned? I will not give my glory to another.
Manis dēļ, Manis dēļ Es to daru, lai(Mans vārds) netop zaimots. Un Savu godu Es nedošu citam.
12 “Listen to me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he. I am the first. I am also the last.
Klausies uz Mani, Jēkab, un Israēl, Manis aicināts, Es tas esmu, Es tas pirmais un Es tas pēdīgais.
13 Yes, my hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spread out the heavens. when I call to them, they stand up together.
Tiešām, Mana roka zemi ir likusi, un Mana labā roka izplātījusi debesis; kad Es uz tām saucu, tad tās visnotaļ stāv.
14 “Assemble yourselves, all of you, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? He whom the LORD loves will do what he likes to Babylon, and his arm will be against the Kasdim.
Sapulcējaties visi un klausāties, kurš no šiem šīs lietas pasludinājis? Tas, ko Tas Kungs mīl, tas izdarīs Viņa prātu pret Bābeli, un Viņa elkonis būs pret Kaldejiem.
15 I, even I, have spoken. Yes, I have called him. I have brought him and he shall make his way prosperous.
Es, Es to esmu runājis, un Es viņu esmu aicinājis, Es viņam likšu nākt, un viņa ceļš labi izdosies.
16 “Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord GOD has sent me with his Spirit.
Nākat klāt pie Manis, klausāties šo: no iesākuma Es nekā neesmu runājis slepenībā, (bet) no tā laika, kad tas sācies, es še esmu.” Un nu Tas Kungs Dievs mani sūtījis un Viņa Garu.
17 The LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.
Tā saka Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla: Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, Es tevi mācu, kas piederas, Es tevi vadu pa to ceļu, kur jāiet.
18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
Kaut tu Manus baušļus liktu vērā, tad tavs miers būtu kā upe, un tava taisnība kā jūras viļņi.
19 Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”
Un tavs dzimums būtu kā smiltis, un tavas miesas augļi kā viņu zvirgzdes, un viņa vārds neizzustu nedz taptu izdeldēts Manā priekšā.
20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Kasdim! With the sound of joyful shouting announce this, tell it even to the end of the earth; say, “The LORD has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
Ejat ārā no Bābeles, bēdziet no Kaldejiem, ar prieka balsīm sludinājiet, dariet to zināmu, izpaudiet to līdz zemes galiem, sakāt: Tas Kungs Savu kalpu Jēkabu atpestījis.
21 They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
Un tie neizslāpa, kad Viņš tos vadīja pa tuksnesi, Viņš tiem ūdeni iztecināja no klints un šķēla klinti, ka ūdens iztecēja.
22 “There is no peace”, says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
Bet bezdievīgiem nav miera, saka Tas Kungs.
