Jesajas 18
1 Ak vai, zeme, kur spārni žvingst, viņpus Kūsa upēm;
Ah, the land of the rustling of wings, 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.
that sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of papyrus on the waters, saying, “Go, you swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide!”
3 Visi jūs pasaules iedzīvotāji un jūs ļaudis virs zemes, kad karogs taps izcelts kalnos, tad redziet, un kad trumete skanēs, tad dzirdiet!
All you inhabitants of the world, and you dwellers on the earth, when a banner is lifted up on the mountains, look! When the trumpet is blown, listen!
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 said to me, “I will be still, and I will see in my dwelling place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of 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, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and he will cut down and take away the spreading branches.
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.
They will be left together for the ravenous birds of the mountains, and for the animals of the earth. The ravenous birds will eat them in the summer, and all the animals of the earth will eat them in the winter.
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 present will be brought to the LORD of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of the LORD of Armies, Mount Zion.
