Jesajas 24
1 Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.
2 Un kā tiem ļaudīm, tāpat klāsies priesterim; kā kalpam, tāpat viņa kungam; kā kalponei tāpat viņas saimniecei; kā pircējam, tāpat pārdevējam; kā aizdevējam, tāpat aizņēmējam; kā pagaidu dzinējam, tāpat pagaidu maksātajam.
And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.
3 Postīt to zemi izpostīs, un laupīt viņu izlaupīs; jo Tas Kungs šo vārdu ir runājis.
The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.
4 Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.
5 Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.
6 Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.
7 Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.
8 Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.
9 Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
There is no more drinking of wine with a song; strong drink will be bitter to those who take it.
10 Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.
11 Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.
12 Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.
13 Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
For it will be in the heart of the earth among the peoples, like the shaking of an olive-tree, as the last of the grapes after the getting-in is done.
14 Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
But those will be making sounds of joy; they will be crying loudly from the sea for the glory of the Lord.
15 Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.
16 No zemes gala mēs dzirdam dziesmas par godu tam taisnam. Bet man jāsaka: nelaime, nelaime, ak vai, man! Laupītāji laupa, laupīdami laupa laupītāji.
From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.
17 Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.
18 Kas no briesmu balss izbiedēts bēgs, tas kritīs bedrē, un kas no bedres izkāps, tas taps sagūstīts valgā. Jo augstības logi atvērti un zemes pamati trīc.
And it will be that he who goes in flight from the sound of fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for the windows on high are open, and the bases of the earth are shaking.
19 Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
The earth is completely broken, it is parted in two, it is violently moved.
20 Zeme streipuļos kā piedzēris vīrs un šūposies kā šūpulis, un viņas grēki uz viņas būs smagi, un viņa kritīs un necelsies vairs augšām.
The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.
21 Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.
22 Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.
23 Un mēnesis nosarks, un saule nobālēs, jo Tas Kungs Cebaot ir ķēniņš Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, un viņas vecaju priekšā būs godība.
Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.
