< Jesajas 13 >
1 Spriedums par Bābeli, ko Jesaja, Amoca dēls, redzējis.
The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.
2 Izceļat karogu augstā kalnā, paceļat balsi, metat ar roku, lai ieiet pa valdnieku vārtiem.
Set ye up an ensign upon the high mountain, lift up the voice unto them, wave the hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
3 Es esmu pavēlējis Saviem svētītiem, arī Savus stipros aicinājis uz Savu dusmību, tos, kas priecājās par Manu godību.
I have commanded My consecrated ones, yea, I have called My mighty ones for mine anger, even My proudly exulting ones.
4 Ļaužu troksnis ir kalnos, kā no lielas tautas, trokšņa skaņa no sapulcinātu tautu valstīm. Tas Kungs Cebaot pārlūko karaspēku.
Hark, a tumult in the mountains, like as of a great people! Hark, the uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
5 Tie nāk no tālas zemes, no pasaules gala, Tas Kungs ar Savas dusmības rīkiem, postīt visu zemi.
They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole earth.
6 Kauciet, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu, viņa nāk kā posts no tā Visuvarenā.
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
7 Tādēļ visas rokas būs nogurušas, un visu cilvēku sirdis izkusīs.
Therefore shall all hands be slack, and every heart of man shall melt.
8 Un tie iztrūcināsies, mokas un bēdas tos sagrābs, tiem būs sāpes, kā sievai, kas dzemdē; tie skatās kā stulbi cits uz citu, viņu vaigi deg kā liesmās.
And they shall be affrighted; pangs and throes shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in travail; they shall look aghast one at another; their faces shall be faces of flame.
9 Redzi, Tā Kunga diena nāk briesmīga, ar dusmām un ar karstu bardzību, un dara zemi par tuksnesi un izdeldē grēciniekus no viņas nost.
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it,
10 Jo debess zvaigznes un viņas spīdumi nedos savu gaismu, saule uzlecot aptumšosies, un mēnesis neļaus spīdēt savam gaišumam.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 Jo Es piemeklēšu bezdievību pie pasaules, un viņu netaisnību pie ļauniem, Es iznīcināšu lepniem lielību un nogāzīšu vareniem greznību,
And I will visit upon the world their evil, and upon the wicked their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the tyrants.
12 Ka vīrs būs dārgāks nekā tīrs zelts, un cilvēks dārgāks nekā Ofira dārgumi.
I will make man more rare than fine gold, even man than the pure gold of Ophir.
13 Tāpēc es darīšu debesi drebam, un zeme taps kustināta no savas vietas, caur Tā Kunga Cebaot bardzību un caur viņa karstās dusmības dienu.
Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place, for the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and for the day of His fierce anger.
14 Un tie būs kā izbiedināta stirna un kā avis, ko neviens nesapulcina; ikviens griezīsies pie savas tautas, un ikviens bēgs uz savu zemi.
And it shall come to pass, that as the chased gazelle, and as sheep that no man gathereth, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land.
15 Ikvienu, ko atradīs, nodurs, un ikviens, ko gūstīs, kritīs caur zobenu.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is caught shall fall by the sword.
16 Un viņu bērniņi taps satriekti priekš viņu acīm, viņu nami taps nopostīti, un viņu sievas piesmietas.
Their babes also shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.
17 Redzi, Es pamodināšu pret tiem Mēdiešus, kas sudrabu necienī un zelta nekāro
Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver, and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.
18 Un tie nošaudīs jaunekļus ar stopiem un nežēlos bērnus mātes miesās, bērnus viņu acis nesaudzēs.
And their bows shall dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
19 Un Bābele, valstu glītums, Kaldeju skaistums un lepnums, būs tā kā Sodoma un Gomora, ko Dievs apgāzis.
And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Tur ne mūžam neviens vairs nedzīvos, tur neviens nemājos līdz radu radiem, Arābi tur neapmetīsies, gani tur neganīs.
It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.
21 Bet tuksneša zvēri tur mitīs, un viņu namos mājos pūces pa pulkiem, un tur dzīvos strausi un jodi tur lēkās.
But wild-cats shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of ferrets; and ostriches shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there.
22 Un vilki kauks cits pret citu viņas atstātos namos, un pūķi tanīs lepnās pilīs. Un viņas laiks jau tuvu nācis, un viņas dienas nekavēsies.
And jackals shall howl in their castles, and wild-dogs in the pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
