Jesajas 13
1 Spriedums par Bābeli, ko Jesaja, Amoca dēls, redzējis.
The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen:
2 Izceļat karogu augstā kalnā, paceļat balsi, metat ar roku, lai ieiet pa valdnieku vārtiem.
“Lift up an ensign on a high mountain, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go into the openings of nobles.
3 Es esmu pavēlējis Saviem svētītiem, arī Savus stipros aicinājis uz Savu dusmību, tos, kas priecājās par Manu godību.
I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have called My mighty ones for My anger, Those rejoicing at My excellence.”
4 Ļaužu troksnis ir kalnos, kā no lielas tautas, trokšņa skaņa no sapulcinātu tautu valstīm. Tas Kungs Cebaot pārlūko karaspēku.
A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations who are gathered, YHWH of Hosts inspecting a host of battle!
5 Tie nāk no tālas zemes, no pasaules gala, Tas Kungs ar Savas dusmības rīkiem, postīt visu zemi.
They are coming in from a far-off land, From the end of the heavens, YHWH and the instruments of His indignation, To destroy all the land.
6 Kauciet, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu, viņa nāk kā posts no tā Visuvarenā.
Howl, for the Day of YHWH [is] near, It comes as destruction from the Mighty.
7 Tādēļ visas rokas būs nogurušas, un visu cilvēku sirdis izkusīs.
Therefore, all hands fail, And every heart of man melts.
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 have been troubled, Pains and pangs take them, They are pained as a travailing woman, A man marvels at his friend, The appearance of flames—their faces!
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 YHWH comes, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Indeed, He destroys its sinning ones from it.
10 Jo debess zvaigznes un viņas spīdumi nedos savu gaismu, saule uzlecot aptumšosies, un mēnesis neļaus spīdēt savam gaišumam.
For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations, Do not cause their light to shine, The sun has been darkened in its going out, And the moon does not cause its light to come forth.
11 Jo Es piemeklēšu bezdievību pie pasaules, un viņu netaisnību pie ļauniem, Es iznīcināšu lepniem lielību un nogāzīšu vareniem greznību,
“And I have appointed evil on the world, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused the excellence of the proud to cease, And I make the excellence of the terrible low.
12 Ka vīrs būs dārgāks nekā tīrs zelts, un cilvēks dārgāks nekā Ofira dārgumi.
I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than 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 cause the heavens to tremble, And the earth shakes from its place, In the wrath of YHWH of Hosts, And in a day of the heat of His 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 has been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that has no gatherer, Each to his people—they turn, And each to his land—they flee.
15 Ikvienu, ko atradīs, nodurs, un ikviens, ko gūstīs, kritīs caur zobenu.
Everyone who is found is thrust through, And everyone who is added falls by sword.
16 Un viņu bērniņi taps satriekti priekš viņu acīm, viņu nami taps nopostīti, un viņu sievas piesmietas.
And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their eyes, Their houses are spoiled, and their wives lain with.
17 Redzi, Es pamodināšu pret tiem Mēdiešus, kas sudrabu necienī un zelta nekāro
Behold, I am stirring up the Medes against them, Who do not esteem silver, And gold—they do not delight in it.
18 Un tie nošaudīs jaunekļus ar stopiem un nežēlos bērnus mātes miesās, bērnus viņu acis nesaudzēs.
And bows dash young men to pieces, And they do not pity the fruit of the womb, Their eye has no pity on sons.
19 Un Bābele, valstu glītums, Kaldeju skaistums un lepnums, būs tā kā Sodoma un Gomora, ko Dievs apgāzis.
And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the excellence of the Chaldeans, Has been as overthrown by God, With Sodom and with Gomorrah.
20 Tur ne mūžam neviens vairs nedzīvos, tur neviens nemājos līdz radu radiem, Arābi tur neapmetīsies, gani tur neganīs.
She does not sit forever, Nor continue to many generations, Nor does Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds do not lie down there.
21 Bet tuksneša zvēri tur mitīs, un viņu namos mājos pūces pa pulkiem, un tur dzīvos strausi un jodi tur lēkās.
And desert-dwellers have lain down there, And their houses have been full of howlers, And daughters of an ostrich have dwelt there, And goats skip 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 howlers—he has responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And her time [is] near to come, And her days are not drawn out!”
