Jesajas 22
1 Spriedums par parādīšanas ieleju. Kas tev ir, ka jūs visi kāpiet uz jumtiem?
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Jerusalem, about the valley where [Yahweh showed me] this vision. Why is everyone foolishly running up to their [flat] rooftops?
2 Tu biji trokšņa pilna, ļaužu pilna pilsēta, līksma pils. Tavi nokautie nav ar zobenu nokauti nedz karā krituši.
Everyone in the city [seems to] be shouting. [There are a lot of] corpses [in the city], [but they] were not killed by [their enemies’] swords. They did not die in battles; [instead, they died from diseases and hunger].
3 Visi tavi virsnieki kopā bēguši, bez stopiem tie ir gūstīti, visi, kas pie tevis top atrasti, ir sasieti, tie tālu bēguši.
All the leaders of the city fled. [But then] they were captured because they did not have bows [and arrows to defend themselves]. Your [soldiers tried to] flee while the enemy [army] was still far away, but they also were captured.
4 Tādēļ es saku: Atstājaties nost no manis, lai es gauži raudu, nepūlējaties, mani iepriecināt par manas tautas nopostīšanu.
That is why I said, “Allow me to cry alone; do not try to comfort me [about my people being slaughtered].”
5 Jo tā ir trokšņa un posta un jukas diena no Tā Kunga Dieva Cebaot parādīšanas ielejā, kur mūri grūst, un brēkšana atskan kalnos.
The Commander of the armies of angels has [chosen] a time when there will be a great uproar, [soldiers] marching, and people being terrified in the valley [where I received this] vision. [It will be a time when our city] walls will be battered down and [the people’s] cries [for help] will be heard in the mountains.
6 Jo Elams nes bultu maku, tur ir vīri uz ratiem, tur ir jātnieki, un Ķire nāk ar spožām priekšturamām bruņām.
The armies from Elam and Kir [in Media] will attack, driving chariots and carrying shields.
7 Un tavas jaukās ielejas būs pilnas ratu, un jātnieki apmetīsies pret vārtiem.
Our beautiful valleys will be filled with [our enemies’] chariots and the men who drive the chariots will stand outside [our city] gates.
8 Viņš atsegs apsegu no Jūda, un tai dienā tu lūkosi pēc tām bruņām ciedru koku namā.
The walls that protect [the cities in] Judah will fall down. You [people of Jerusalem] will run to get the weapons [that are stored in the building called] “the Hall of the Forest”.
9 Un jūs redzat Dāvida pilsētas plaisas esam daudz, un jūs krājat lejas dīķa ūdeni.
You will see that there are many breaks/holes in the walls of Jerusalem. You will store water in the lower pool [in the city].
10 Un jūs skaitiet Jeruzālemes namus un nolaužat namus, mūri stiprināt.
You will inspect the houses in Jerusalem, and [some of] them you will tear down to use the stones to repair the [city] wall.
11 Jūs rokat arīdzan grāvi starp abējiem mūriem priekš vecā dīķa ūdens. Bet jūs neskatāties uz to, kas to dara, un nelūkojiet uz to, kas to sen nolicis.
Between the walls [of the city] you will build a reservoir to [store] water from the old pool. But you will never request help from the one who made the city; you have never depended on Yahweh, who planned this city long ago.
12 Un tai dienā Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot aicinās raudāt un žēloties, un apcirpties un maisus apvilkt.
The Commander of the armies of angels told you to weep and mourn; he told you to shave your heads and to wear rough sackcloth to show that you were sorry for the sins that you had committed.
13 Bet redzi, prieks un līksmība, vēršu kaušana un avju kaušana, gaļas ēšana un vīna dzeršana: ēdīsim un dzersim, jo rītu mums jāmirst
But instead of doing that, you were happy and celebrating; you slaughtered cattle and sheep, [in order to cook their] meat and eat it and drink wine. You said, “Let’s eat and drink [all that we want to], because [it is possible that] we will die tomorrow!”
14 Bet Tas Kungs Cebaot darījis zināmu manās ausīs: tiešām, šis noziegums jums netaps piedots, kamēr jūs mirsiet, saka Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot.
[So] the Commander of the armies of angels revealed this to me: “I will never forgive my people for sinning like this!”
15 Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs Cebaot: celies, ej pie šī mantas sarga, pie Šebnas, kas celts pār to namu, (un saki)
The Commander of the armies of angels said this [to me]: “Go to Shebna, the official who supervises the workers in the palace, and give this message to him:
16 Ko tu še dari, un kam tu še to dari, ka tu še kapu sev izcērt, ka kalnā roc savu kapu, klintī sev izcērt mājokli?
'[Who do you think you are?] Who gave you the authority to build a beautiful tomb where you will be buried, chiseling it out of the rocky cliff high above this valley?
17 Redzi, Tas Kungs ar varenu sviedienu tevi nosviedīs, cieti tevi sagrābis.
You [think that you are] [IRO] a great man, but Yahweh is about to hurl you away. [It will be as though] he will seize you,
18 Velšus Viņš tevi aizvels ar tādu velšanu kā lodi uz zemi, lielu un plašu; tur tu nomirsi, tur paliks tavas godības rati, tu negods sava kunga namam.
and roll/crumple you into a ball and throw you away into a large distant land. You will die [and be buried] there, and your beautiful chariots will stay there [in the hands of your enemies]. And [because of what happens to you], your master, [the king], will be [very] ashamed/disgraced.
19 Un Es tevi nogāzīšu no tavas vietas, un no tava amata Es tevi nocelšu.
Yahweh will force you to quit working in the palace; you will be demoted from your important position.
20 Un notiks tai dienā, tad Es aicināšu Savu kalpu Elijaķimu, Hilķijas dēlu,
Then I will summon Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who has served serve me [well], to replace you.
21 Un Es viņu apģērbšu ar taviem svārkiem un viņu apjozīšu ar tavu jostu, un tavu valdīšanu Es nodošu viņa rokā, un viņš būs par tēvu Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem un Jūda namam.
I will allow him to wear your robe, and to fasten your sash around him, and I will give to him the authority that you had. He will be like [MET] a father to the people of Jerusalem and [all the other] towns in Judah.
22 Un Es Dāvida nama atslēgu likšu uz viņa pleciem, un kur viņš atvērs, tur neviens neaizslēgs, un kur viņš aizslēgs, tur neviens neatvērs.
I will give to him authority [MTY] over [what happens in] the palace where King David [lived]; when he decides something [MET], no one will be able to oppose it; when he refuses to do something, no one will be able to force him to do it.
23 Un Es viņu iesitīšu kā naglu stiprā vietā, un viņš būs par goda krēslu sava tēva namā.
I will cause his family to be greatly respected, because I will put him firmly in his position [as supervisor of the workers in the palace], like [SIM] a nail that is firmly hammered into a wall.
24 Un pie viņa pieķersies visa viņa tēva nama godība, bērni un bērnu bērni, visi mazie trauki, bļodas un krūzes.
Others will enable him to have much responsibility, with the result that all the members of his family, even the most insignificant ones, will be honored.'”
25 Tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, tā nagla lieksies, kas stiprā vietā bija iesista, tā lūzīs un kritīs, un tā nasta pie tās ies bojā; jo Tas Kungs to ir runājis.
[But] the Commander of the armies of angels also says, “[Shebna is like] [MET] a peg that is firmly fastened to the wall. But there will be a time when I will [remove him from his position]; he will lose his power/influence, and everything that he promoted [MET] will fail. [That will surely happen] because [I], Yahweh, have said it.”
