Jesajas 13
1 Spriedums par Bābeli, ko Jesaja, Amoca dēls, redzējis.
The oracle on Babylon, —of which Isaiah, son of Amoz had vision: —
2 Izceļat karogu augstā kalnā, paceļat balsi, metat ar roku, lai ieiet pa valdnieku vārtiem.
Upon a bare mountain, lift ye up a standard, Raise high the voice to them, Wave the hand, That they may enter the doors of nobles.
3 Es esmu pavēlējis Saviem svētītiem, arī Savus stipros aicinājis uz Savu dusmību, tos, kas priecājās par Manu godību.
I myself, have given charge to my hallowed ones, —Yea I have called My heroes in showing mine anger, My proudly exulting ones.
4 Ļaužu troksnis ir kalnos, kā no lielas tautas, trokšņa skaņa no sapulcinātu tautu valstīm. Tas Kungs Cebaot pārlūko karaspēku.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, A resemblance of many people, —The noise of a tumult of kingdoms Nations gathered together, Yahweh of hosts, mustering a host for 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 land far away. From the utmost bound of the heavens, —Yahweh—with his weapons of indignation, To destroy the land.
6 Kauciet, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu, viņa nāk kā posts no tā Visuvarenā.
Howl ye! for at hand is the day of Yahweh, —As a veritable destruction from the Almighty, shall it come.
7 Tādēļ visas rokas būs nogurušas, un visu cilvēku sirdis izkusīs.
For this cause—All hands, shall hang down, —and Every mortal heart, 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 in distress—Writhings and pains, shall lay hold, As a woman in childbirth, shall they be in pangs, —Everyone, at his neighbour, shall look in amazement, Faces 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.
Lo! the day of Yahweh, coming in, Fierce and overflowing, and burning with anger, —To devote the earth to desolation, And her sinners, will he destroy 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 the heavens and their constellations, shall not flash forth their light, —Obscured shall be the sun in his going forth, And the moon, shall not shed her light.
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 inhabited earth, calamity!, And upon the lawless, their punishment, And will quiet the arrogance of the proud, And the loftiness of tyrants, will I lay low.
12 Ka vīrs būs dārgāks nekā tīrs zelts, un cilvēks dārgāks nekā Ofira dārgumi.
I will cause, a man, to be more precious than fine gold, —Even a son of earth than, the finest 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.
For this cause, the heavens, will I disturb, And, the earth, shall tremble out of her place, —In the wrath of Yahweh of hosts, And in the day of the glow 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 shall be—Like a gazelle that is chased, And like a sheep with none to lift it up, —Each, to his own people, will they turn, And, each, to his own land, will they flee:
15 Ikvienu, ko atradīs, nodurs, un ikviens, ko gūstīs, kritīs caur zobenu.
Every one found, shall be thrust through, —And, every one taken, shall fall by the sword;
16 Un viņu bērniņi taps satriekti priekš viņu acīm, viņu nami taps nopostīti, un viņu sievas piesmietas.
And, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, before their eyes, —Plundered shall be, their houses, and their wives ravished.
17 Redzi, Es pamodināšu pret tiem Mēdiešus, kas sudrabu necienī un zelta nekāro
Behold me! stirring up against them the Medes, —Who of silver, shall take no account, 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, bows, shall dash the young to pieces, —And on the fruit of the womb, will they have no pity, Over children, will their eye throw no shield.
19 Un Bābele, valstu glītums, Kaldeju skaistums un lepnums, būs tā kā Sodoma un Gomora, ko Dievs apgāzis.
Thus shall Babylon—The most lovely of kingdoms, The majestic beauty of the Chaldees—Become as in the divine overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Tur ne mūžam neviens vairs nedzīvos, tur neviens nemājos līdz radu radiem, Arābi tur neapmetīsies, gani tur neganīs.
It shall not be dwelt in for ever, Neither shall it be inhabited from generation to generation, —Neither shall encamp there, an Arab, Nor, shepherds, fold their flocks there.
21 Bet tuksneša zvēri tur mitīs, un viņu namos mājos pūces pa pulkiem, un tur dzīvos strausi un jodi tur lēkās.
Then shall lie down there, wild beasts, And filled shall be their houses with owls, —Then shall inhabit there, the ostrich, And shaggy creatures, 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 answer, in their citadels, And wild dogs, in their voluptuous palaces, —And near to come is her time, And, her days, shall not be delayed.
