Jesajas 13
1 Spriedums par Bābeli, ko Jesaja, Amoca dēls, redzējis.
The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen:
2 Izceļat karogu augstā kalnā, paceļat balsi, metat ar roku, lai ieiet pa valdnieku vārtiem.
'On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice to them, wave the hand, And they go in to 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 Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine excellency.'
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, Jehovah 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 land afar off, From the end of the heavens, Jehovah 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 ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction from the Mighty it cometh.
7 Tādēļ visas rokas būs nogurušas, un visu cilvēku sirdis izkusīs.
Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth 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 have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they marvel, 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.
Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its sinning ones He destroyeth 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, Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in its going out, And the moon causeth not 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 on the world evil, And on the wicked their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make 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 the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah 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 hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people — they turn, And each unto his land — they flee.
15 Ikvienu, ko atradīs, nodurs, un ikviens, ko gūstīs, kritīs caur zobenu.
Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one who is added falleth 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, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with.
17 Redzi, Es pamodināšu pret tiem Mēdiešus, kas sudrabu necienī un zelta nekāro
Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver esteem not, And gold — they delight not 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 the fruit of the womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity.
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 excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath 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 doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.
21 Bet tuksneša zvēri tur mitīs, un viņu namos mājos pūces pa pulkiem, un tur dzīvos strausi un jodi tur lēkās.
And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do 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 Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time, And her days are not drawn out!
