Jesajas 16
1 Sūtait jērus zemes valdītājam no Zelas pa tuksnesi uz Ciānas meitas kalnu.
[The rulers of Moab will say to each other, ] “We must send some [lambs] from Sela [city] as a gift to the ruler of Judah [to persuade him to not allow his army to attack us any more]. We should send them through the desert to the king.
2 Jo kā putni no ligzdas izdzīti skraida, tā būs Moaba meitas pie Arnonas pārceļamām vietām.
The women of Moab will be left alone at the (fords of/places where people can walk across) the Arnon [River]; they will be like [SIM] birds that have been pushed out of their nests.
3 Dodiet padomu, nesiet tiesu, dariet pavēni pašā dienas vidū kā naktī; apslēp izdzītos, nedari bēdzēju zināmu!
They will cry out, ‘Help us! Tell us what we should do! Protect us completely [MET], we who are running away [from our enemies], and do not (betray us/tell our enemies where we are).
4 Lai mani izdzītie tavā starpā piemīt, Moab, esi tu viņiem par patvērumu no postītāja! Jo spaidītājam nāks gals, postīšana beigsies, saminēji no zemes taps izdeldēti.
Allow [those of us] who are fleeing from Moab to stay with you; hide/protect us from [our enemies who want to] destroy us!’ [Some day] there will be no one to oppress us, and our enemies will stop destroying [our land].
5 Un goda krēsls ir stiprināts caur žēlastību, un uz tā sēž ar patiesību Dāvida dzīvoklī tas, kas tiesu spriež un tiesu kopj un prot taisnību.
Then [Yahweh] will appoint someone to be king who will be [a descendant of King] David. As he rules [MTY], he will be merciful and truthful. He will always do what is fair/just and quickly do what is righteous.”
6 Moaba lepnību esam dzirdējuši, ka tas ļoti lepns, viņa augstprātību un lepnību un viņa pārgalvību un viņa tukšo lielību.
We [people of Judah] have heard about [the people of] Moab; we have heard that they are very proud and conceited [DOU]; they are insolent, but what they proudly say about themselves is not true.
7 Tādēļ Moabs kauks par Moabu, visi kopā kauks; par Ķirarezetes pamatiem jūs nopūtīsieties, tie pavisam salauzīti.
[Some day all the people in] Moab will weep. They will all mourn, because [there will be no more] raisin cakes in Kir-Hareseth [city].
8 Jo Hešbonas druvas postītas, arī Sibmas vīna koks - tautu valdnieki saminuši viņa brangos stādus, tie sniedzās līdz Jaēzerai un stiepās pa tuksnesi, viņa zari izplētās un cēlās pār jūru.
The [crops in] the fields at Heshbon [city] will wither, and the vineyards at Sibmah [town] will wither also. The armies of [other] nations will destroy Moab, which is [like] [MET] a beautiful grapevine whose branches spread [north] to Jazer [town] and [east] to the desert. Its branches spread very far [west], to the west side of the [Dead] Sea.
9 Tāpēc es gauži raudu kā Jaēzera par Sibmas vīna koku; es tevi slacināju ar savām asarām, Hešbona un Eleale; jo pār taviem vasaras augļiem un pār tavu pļaušanu nākusi kara kliegšana.
So I will weep for Jazer and for the grapevines of Sibmah. I will shed tears for all of you. I will cry because people will no longer shout joyfully, like they usually do when they gather the fruit that ripens in the (summer/hot season) and the other crops that they harvest.
10 Tā ka prieks un līksmība atņemti no dārziem, un vīna kalnos nedzied un negavilē. Vīna spiedējs vīna nemin vīna spaidā, prieka dziesmām esmu licis mitēties.
People will no longer be glad at harvest time. No one will sing in the vineyards, no one will shout joyfully. No one will tread on grapes [to get grape juice for wine]; there will be nothing to shout about [joyfully].
11 Tāpēc manas iekšas trīc par Moabu kā kokle un mana sirds par Ķirarezeti.
I cry inwardly for Moab; my groaning is like [SIM] [a sad song played on] a harp. I am sad about Kir-Hareseth.
12 Un notiks, kad Moabs rādīsies un nomocīsies elku kalnā un ies pielūgt savā svētā vietā, tad viņš nespēs nenieka.
[The people of] Moab will go and pray at their sacred shrines, but that will not help them. They will cry out to their gods in their temples, [but] none of them will be able to rescue the people.
13 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs ir runājis pret Moabu sen laiku.
Yahweh has already spoken those things about Moab.
14 Bet nu Tas Kungs runā un saka: pa trim gadiem, kādi ir algādža gadi, Moaba godība taps kaunā ar visu lielo ļaužu pulku, un kas atliek, to būs gauži maz, ne daudz.
But now he says that exactly three years from now, he will destroy all the things that [the people of] Moab have been proud of. Even though they have a huge number of people in Moab now, only a few people will remain alive, and they will be weak/helpless.
