Jesajas 21
1 Spriedums par jūras tuksnesi. Tā kā aukas no dienvidiem(Negebas), kas visu apgāž, tā nāks no tuksneša, no briesmīgas zemes.
The burden of the wilderness of the sea. 'Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful land.
2 Grūta parādīšana man darīta zināma. Laupītājs laupa, postītājs posta. Nāc šurp, Elam, apstāj, Medija! Visām nopūtām par tiem es darīšu galu.
A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease.
3 Tādēļ mani gurni dreb, raizes mani sagrābušas, kā dzemdētājas raizes. Es lokos, ka vairs nedzirdu, un iztrūcinājos, ka vairs neredzu.
Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
4 Mana sirds trīc, izbailes mani iztrūcina, mīļā nakts tumsa man palikusi par biedēkli.
Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me,
5 Sataisi galdu, nostādi vaktis, ēd, dzer! Ceļaties, virsnieki, svaidat bruņas.
Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield,
6 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: ej, nostādi vaktnieku, lai tas stāsta, ko redz.
For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
7 Un viņš redzēja ratus, jātniekus pa pāriem, ēzeļu pulku, kamieļu pulku, un viņš klausīdamies klausījās it uzmanīgi,
And he hath seen a chariot — a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention — He hath increased attention!
8 Un sauca ar lauvas balsi: Kungs, es stāvu uz vakts torņa visu cauru dienu un vaktēdams vaktēju caurām naktīm.
And he crieth — a lion, 'On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights.
9 Redzi, tur nāk rati ar vīriem un jātnieki pa pāriem. Tad viņš atbildēja un sacīja: kritusi, kritusi Bābele, un visi viņas dievekļu tēli ir sadauzīti pie zemes.
And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: 'Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
10 Ak tu mans izkultais, tu mana klona labībiņa! Ko es esmu dzirdējis no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Israēla Dieva, to jums esmu pasludinājis.
O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
11 Spriedums par Dumu: uz mani sauc no Seīra: sargs, cik gara vēl nakts? Sargs, cik gara vēl nakts?
The burden of Dumah. Unto me is [one] calling from Seir 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?'
12 Tas sargs saka: rīts nāk un atkal nakts. Ja gribat vaicāt, vaicājiet! Atgriežaties, nāciet!
The watchman hath said, 'Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.'
13 Spriedums par Arābiju: Arābijas tuksnešos paliekat par nakti, jūs Dedana ceļa vīri.
The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim.
14 Nāciet izslāpušiem pretī ar ūdeni, jūs Temas zemes iedzīvotāji, pasniedziet maizi bēdzējiem.
To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
15 Jo tie bēg no zobena, no izvilkta zobena un no uzvilkta stopa un no briesmīgas kaujas.
For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
16 Jo tā Tas Kungs uz mani sacījis: gada laikā, kādi ir algādža gadi, tad beigsies visa Ķedara godība.
For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
17 Un strēlnieku atlikums no tiem vareniem Ķedara bērniem būs mazums; jo Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, to ir runājis.
And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'
