Jesajas 17
1 Spriedums par Damasku: Redzi, Damaska taps nomesta, ka vairs nav pilsēta, bet sagruvusi akmeņu kopa.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and it will be like a heap of stones in ruin.
2 Aroēra pilsētas būs atstātas ganāmiem pulkiem; tie tur apmetīsies un neviens tos neizbiedēs.
The cities in ruin will be left for the flocks, and they will take rest there, and there will be no one who may terrify them.
3 Un stiprums zudīs no Efraīma un valdīšana no Damaskas, un kas no Sīriešiem atlikuši, tie būs kā Israēla bērnu godība, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
And assistance will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom will cease from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of hosts.
4 Un notiks tai dienā, ka Jēkaba godība ies mazumā, un viņa treknā miesa izdils.
And this shall be in that day: the glory of Jacob will be thinned, and the fatness of his flesh will be reduced.
5 Jo tā būs, kā pļāvējs sakampj labību, un viņa roka pļauj vārpas, un būs, kā kad vārpas lasa Refaīm ielejā.
And it shall be like the gathering of the harvest which remains, and his arm will pick the ears of grain. And it shall be like a search for grain in the valley of Rephaim.
6 Tomēr atlikums tur atliksies, kā pie eļļas koka, kad to nokrata, kādas divas trīs ogas pašā koka galā, un kādas četras piecas pie viņa auglīgiem zariem, saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs.
And what is left behind in it will be like one cluster of grapes, or like a shaken olive tree with two or three olives at the top of a branch, or like four or five olives at the top of a tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
7 Tanī dienā cilvēks skatīsies uz savu Radītāju, un viņa acis raudzīsies uz to Svēto iekš Israēla.
In that day, a man will bow before his Maker, and his eyes will consider the Holy One of Israel.
8 Un neskatīsies uz tiem altāriem, ko paša rokas cēlušas, un neraudzīsies uz to, ko viņa pirksti ir taisījuši, nedz uz tām Ašerām nedz uz tiem saules stabiem.
And he will not bow before the altars that his hands have made. And he will not consider the things that his fingers have made, the sacred groves and the shrines.
9 Tanī dienā viņa stiprās pilsētas būs kā mežos un kalnos sagruvušas pilis, ko tie atstājuši, no Israēla bērniem bēgdami, un būs posts.
In that day, his strong cities will be abandoned, like the plows and the grain fields which were left behind before the face of the sons of Israel, and you shall be deserted.
10 Jo tu esi aizmirsis Dievu, savu Pestītāju, un neesi pieminējis sava patvēruma klinti.
For you have forgotten God your Savior, and you have not remembered your strong Helper. Because of this, you will plant trustworthy plants, but you will sow a foreign seed.
11 Tādēļ tu gan stādīji skaistus dārzus un apstādīji ar svešas zemes stādiem. Tai dienā, kad tu tos stādīji, tu tos gan apkopi, un strādāji, ka tavam sējumam agri bija jāzied, bet tas pļaujamais iznīks bēdu laikā un nāves skumjās.
In the day of your planting, the wild grapevine and your morning seed will flourish. The harvest has been taken away to the day of inheritance, and you will grieve heavily.
12 Vai, lielu tautu rūkšana, kas kauc, kā jūra kauc, un ļaužu pulku troksnis, kas rūc, kā vareni ūdeņi krāc.
Woe to the multitude of many peoples, like the multitude of the roaring sea! Woe to the tumult of crowds, like the noise of many waters!
13 Tautas rūc, kā lieli ūdeņi krāc, bet Viņš to aprāj, un tas bēg tālu nost un top dzenāts kā pelus pa kalniem no vēja, kā putekļi no viesuļa.
The peoples will make a noise, like the noise of waters overflowing, but he will rebuke him, and so he will flee far away. And he will be quickly taken away, like the dust of the mountains before the face of the wind, and like a whirlwind before a tempest.
14 Vakara laikā, - redzi, briesmas; pirms gaisma aust, pagalam! Šī ir tā alga mūsu laupītājiem, un tā tiesa mūsu postītājiem.
In the time of the evening, behold: there will be a disturbance. When it is early morning, he will not remain. This is the portion of those who have devastated us, and this is the lot of those who have plundered us.
