Jesajas 18
1 Ak vai, zeme, kur spārni žvingst, viņpus Kūsa upēm;
Woe to the land, that winged cymbal, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia,
2 Tā sūta vēstnešus pār jūru un niedru laivās pār ūdeņiem. Ejat, jūs čaklie vēstneši, pie tautas, kas bijājama tālu tālu, pie tautas, kas pavēlētāja un saminēja, kam upes zemi dala.
which sends ambassadors by sea and in vessels of papyrus above the waters. Go forth, O swift Angels, to a nation which has been convulsed and torn apart, to a terrible people, after whom there is no other, to a nation apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have spoiled.
3 Visi jūs pasaules iedzīvotāji un jūs ļaudis virs zemes, kad karogs taps izcelts kalnos, tad redziet, un kad trumete skanēs, tad dzirdiet!
All inhabitants of the world, you who dwell upon the earth: when the sign will have been elevated on the mountains, you will see, and you will hear the blast of the trumpet.
4 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: “Es turēšos klusu un skatīšos no Sava mājokļa, kā karstums spiež saulei spīdot un padebesis raso pļaujama laika karstumā.”
For the Lord says this to me: I will be quiet, and I will consider in my place, as the light at midday is clear, and as a cloud of dew in the day of the harvest.
5 Jo priekš pašas pļaujas, kad ziedi noziedējuši un kad no ziediem ķekari jau ietekās, tad Viņš stīgas nogriezīs ar dārza nazi un zarus atņems un nokapās.
For before the harvest, all was flourishing. And it will spring forth with an untimely completion, and its little branches will be pruned with a curved blade. And what is left over will be cut away and shaken off.
6 Tie visi taps atstāti kalnu ērgļiem un zemes zvēriem, un tie ērgļi tur paliek pa vasaru un visi zemes zvēri tur mīt pa ziemu.
And together they will be abandoned to the birds of the mountains and to the wild beasts of the earth. And the birds will be continuously on them in the summer, and all the wild beasts of the earth will winter over them.
7 Tanī laikā Tam Kungam Cebaot nesīs dāvanas no tās tautas, kas lielu slaiku augumu, un no tās tautas, kas bijājama tālu tālu, no tās tautas, kas pavēlētāja un saminēja, kam upes zemi dala, uz to vietu, kur Tā Kunga Cebaot vārds, uz Ciānas kalnu.
In that time, a gift will be carried to the Lord of hosts, from a people divided and torn apart, from a terrible people, after whom there has been no other, from an apprehensive nation, apprehensive and downtrodden, whose land the rivers have ruined, and it will be carried to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, to mount Zion.
