Jesajas 10
1 Ak vai, tiem, kas ceļ netaisnus likumus, un tiem rakstītājiem, kas raksta grūtu tiesu,
Terrible things will happen to you judges who are unjust and who make unfair laws.
2 Ka nabagiem tiesu neizdod un tiesu laupa tiem bēdīgiem starp Maniem ļaudīm, ka atraitnes aplaupa un bāriņus posta!
You refuse to help poor people, and you do not allow them to get the things that they should get. You [allow people to] steal things from widows and do unfair things to orphans.
3 Bet ko jūs darīsiet piemeklēšanas dienā un tai postā, kas nāk no tālienes? Pie kā bēgsiet pēc palīdzības, un kur glabāsiet savu godību?
When I punish you by sending people from distant lands to cause you to experience disasters, (to whom will you run to get help?/there will be no one who can help you.) [RHQ] Your valuable possessions will certainly [not be safe] [RHQ] anywhere.
4 Bet jūs locīsities starp gūstītiem un kritīsiet starp nokautiem. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
You will be able only to stumble along as you are taken away with other prisoners, or [else] your corpses will lie on the ground with others who have been killed. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with you. He will still be ready to strike you again with his fist.
5 Ak vai, Asuram! Tas ir Manas dusmības rīkste, un viņa rokā Manas bardzības zizlis.
[Yahweh says], “Terrible things will happen to Assyria. [It is true that their army] is like a rod/club [DOU] with which I [punish other nations] because I am very angry with those nations [DOU].
6 Es viņu sūtu pret viltīgiem ļaudīm un viņam pavēlu pret ļaudīm, par kuriem Es apskaities, lai viņš tos laupīdams laupa un postīdams posta, un tos samin kā dubļus uz ielām.
[Sometimes] I send the armies of Assyria to attack a godless nation, to fight against [other] people who have caused me to be angry. I send them to capture people and to seize and take away their possessions, and to trample them like [SIM] people walk on mud in the streets.
7 Bet viņam tā nešķiet, un viņa sirds tā nedomā; jo viņš apņēmies izdeldēt un izsakņot daudz tautas.
But the [king of Assyria] does not understand, he does not realize [that he is only like a weapon in my hand]. He wants [only] to destroy people, to get rid of many nations.
8 Jo viņš saka: vai mani virsnieki visi kopā nav ķēniņi?
He says, ‘All of my army commanders will soon be kings [of these nations that I conquer]!
9 Vai Kalno nav kā Karķemis? Vai Hamata nav kā Arvada? Vai Samarija nav kā Damaskus?
We destroyed Calno [city] like we destroyed Carchemish [city], We destroyed Hamath [city] like we destroyed Arpad [city]; we destroyed Samaria just like we destroyed Damascus.
10 Tā kā mana roka dabūjusi tās elku dievu valstis, jebšu viņu dievekļu bija vairāk nekā to, kas Jeruzālemē un Samarijā, -
We were able to destroy [all] those kingdoms [that were full] of idols, kingdoms whose idols were greater than the idols in Jerusalem and Samaria.
11 Vai es nevarētu darīt pie Jeruzālemes un pie viņas elkiem tāpat, kā esmu darījis pie Samarijas un viņas elkiem?
So we will defeat Jerusalem and destroy the idols that are there, just like we destroyed Samaria and the idols that were there!’
12 Bet kad Tas Kungs visu Savu darbu būs pabeidzis Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, tad (sacīs): Es piemeklēšu to sirds lepnības augli pie Asīrijas ķēniņa un viņa acu augsto greznību.
[But, I, Yahweh, say that] after I [have used Assyria to] finish what I want to do to punish the people in Jerusalem [DOU], I will punish the king of Assyria because he has been very proud and arrogant/boastful [DOU].
13 Jo tas saka: caur savas rokas spēku es to esmu darījis un caur savu gudrību, jo es esmu prātīgs. Es esmu atņēmis tautu robežas un laupījis viņu mantas un kā varonis zemē gāzis valdniekus.
He says, ‘By my own great power [MTY] I have done these things. I have been able to do them because I am very wise and very intelligent. My army removed the barriers [at the borders] of nations and carried away all their valuable things. My army has knocked down their kings like [SIM] a ferocious bull would.
14 Un mana roka atradusi tautu bagātību kā ligzdu, un es esmu sagrābis visu pasauli, kā sagrābj atstātas olas, un neviens nav bijis, kas spārnu būtu kustinājis vai muti atdarījis vai pīkstējis.
Like [MET] a farmer reaches into a bird’s nest [to take away the eggs], we have taken away the treasures of other countries [DOU]. The people were not like birds that would flap their wings or chirp loudly [to protest about their eggs being stolen]; the people did not object at all [to their treasures being stolen].’
15 Vai tad cirvis lai lielās pret to, kas ar to cērt? Jeb vai zāģis lai turas pretī tam, kas to velk! tā kā zizlis to turētu, kas viņu paceļ, tā kā rīkste to cilātu, kas nav koks!
[But I, Yahweh, say that] an axe certainly cannot [RHQ] boast about being stronger than the person who uses it, and a saw is not greater than the person who uses it. A rod cannot control the one who holds it [RHQ], and a wooden club cannot lift up a person [RHQ]. [So the king of Assyria should not boast that he has done these things with his own wisdom and strength].
16 Tādēļ Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot sūtīs diloni starp viņa (Asura) trekniem, un apakš viņa godības dedzin degs, kā uguns deg.
And [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, will send a plague among the proud soldiers of Assyria; it will be like [MET] a fire that will kill them and get rid of their glory/wealth.
17 Un Israēla gaišums būs uguns, un viņa Svētais būs liesma, kas sadedzinās un norīs viņa ērkšķus un dadžus vienā dienā.
[I], Yahweh, who am like [MET] a light for the people of Israel, will be the fire; [I], the Holy One, will be like a flame. [The soldiers of Assyria are like] [MET] thorns and briers, and I will burn them up in one night.
18 Un viņš aprīs viņa meža un viņa dārza godību, līdz ar dvēseli un miesu, un tas novārgs kā vārgulis.
There are glorious forests and fertile farmlands in Assyria, but I will completely destroy them; they will be like [SIM] a [very] sick person who shrivels up and then dies.
19 Un viņa meža atlikušie koki būs mazs pulciņš, ka zēns tos varētu sarakstīt.
There will be very few trees left in those forests; even a child will be able to count them.”
20 Tanī dienā Israēla atlikušie, un Jēkaba nama izglābtie nepaļausies vairs uz to, kas viņu sitis, bet uzticībā paļausies uz To Kungu, to Svēto iekš Israēla.
In the future there will be only a few people left in Israel; not many descendants of Jacob will still be alive. [But] they will no longer rely on [the king of Assyria], [the king of the nation] that tried to destroy them. Instead, they will faithfully/sincerely trust in Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel.
21 Tie atlikušie atgriezīsies, Jēkaba atlikušie, pie tā visuvarenā Dieva.
Those Israelis will return to their mighty God.
22 Jo jebšu tavi ļaudis, Israēl, ir kā jūras smiltis, tomēr (tikai) viņu atlikums atgriezīsies. Jo gals ir nospriests pilnīgā taisnībā.
[Now], the people of Israel are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore, but only a few of them will return [from the countries to which they were exiled]. Yahweh has decided to destroy [most of the Israelis] and that is what [he must do because he is completely] just/righteous.
23 Jo Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot nolikto gala spriedumu izdarīs pa visu zemes virsu.
[Yes, ] the Commander of the armies of angels has [already] decided to destroy the entire land [of Israel].
24 Tāpēc Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot saka tā: Mani ļaudis, kas dzīvojat Ciānā, nebīstaties no Asura, kad tas jūs sit ar rīksti, un savu zizli paceļ pret jums, kā notika Ēģiptē.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: “My people in Jerusalem, do not be afraid of the army of Assyria when they beat you with rods and clubs, like the men of Egypt did [to your ancestors long ago].
25 Jo vēl mazs brīdis, tad dusmība būs pagalam, un Mana bardzība tos izdeldēs.
Soon I will no longer be angry with you, and [then] I will be angry with the people of Assyria and destroy them!”
26 Jo Tas Kungs Cebaot pacels pātagu pret to, kā Viņš sita Midijanu pie Horeba kalna, un Ciņa zizlis ir pār jūru un viņš to paceļ kā Ēģiptes zemē.
The Commander of the armies of angels will whip them. He will do to them like he did when he helped Gideon [and his 300 soldiers] to defeat the [army of the] Midian people-group, and like he did when he showed his mighty power [MTY] [by causing the army of Egypt to drown] in the [Red] Sea.
27 Un tai dienā viņa nasta atstāsies no tava kamieša un viņa jūgs no tava kakla, un tas jūgs šķīdīs no treknuma.
Some day, Yahweh will cause the army of Assyria to stop oppressing you, [his people]; he will end your suffering and your being slaves of the people of Assyria [MET]; he will take away the load that you people of Judah have been carrying, and cause things to go well for you.
28 Tas nāk uz Ajatu, tas iet caur Migronu, Mikmasā tas atstāj savas lietas.
[The army of Assyria will enter northern Judah] near Aiath [town], they will go through Migron [town] and store their supplies at Micmash [town north of Jerusalem].
29 Tie iet caur šaurumu, Ģebā tie paliek par nakti, Rāma dreb, Saula Ģibeja bēg.
They will cross through a mountain pass and set up their tents at Geba [town]. [People in] Ramah [town] will tremble [because of being afraid]. [The people of] Gibeah [town], where King Saul [was born], will [all] run away.
30 Kliedz stiprā balsī, Galima meita! Klausies, Laīša! nabaga Anatota!
You people of Gallim [town] will cry out [for help]. You will shout to [the people of] Laish [city near Jerusalem] to warn them! [The people of] Anathoth [town] will suffer a lot.
31 Madmena bēg, Ģebimas iedzīvotāji glābjās.
[The people of] Madmenah [town north of Jerusalem will all] be running away, and [the people of] Gebim [town close to Jerusalem] will be trying to hide.
32 Vēl šodien tas apmetīsies Nobā, pacels roku pret Ciānas meitas kalnu, pret Jeruzālemes pakalnu.
The soldiers of Assyria will stop at Nob [city outside Jerusalem]. They will shake their fists [as they threaten the people] on Zion Hill in Jerusalem.
33 Redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot nokapā tos zarus ar briesmīgu varu, un tie, kas ir augsti augumā, top nocirsti, un tie lielie pazemoti.
But listen to this! The Commander of the armies of angels with his great power will destroy [MET] the mighty army of Assyria. [It is as though they are] a huge tree [MET] that he will cut down.
34 Un Viņš nocērt ar dzelzi biezos meža krūmus, un Lībanus krīt caur vareno.
He will destroy the [soldiers of Assyria] like men use big axes to cut down the tall trees in the forests of Lebanon.
