Jesajas 24
1 Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
Behold, the Lord will lay waste to the earth, and he will strip it, and he will afflict its surface, and he will scatter its inhabitants.
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 this shall be: as with the people, so with the priest; and as with the servant, so with his master; as with the handmaid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 Postīt to zemi izpostīs, un laupīt viņu izlaupīs; jo Tas Kungs šo vārdu ir runājis.
The earth will be utterly devastated and utterly plundered. For the Lord has spoken this word.
4 Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
The earth mourned, and slipped away, and languished. The world slipped away; the loftiness of the people of the earth was weakened.
5 Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
And the earth was corrupted by its inhabitants. For they have transgressed the laws, they have changed the ordinance, they have dissipated the everlasting covenant.
6 Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
Because of this, a curse will devour the earth, and its inhabitants will sin. And for this reason, its caretakers will become crazed, and few men will be left behind.
7 Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
The vintage has mourned. The vine has languished. All those who were rejoicing in their hearts have groaned.
8 Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
9 Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
They will not drink wine with a song. The drink will be bitter to those who drink it.
10 Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
The city of vanity has been worn away. Every house has been closed up; no one enters.
11 Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
There will be a clamor for wine in the streets. All rejoicing has been abandoned. The gladness of the earth has been carried away.
12 Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
Solitude is what remains in the city, and calamity will overwhelm its gates.
13 Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
For so shall it be in the midst of the earth, in the midst of the people: it is as if the few remaining olives are being shaken from the olive tree, and it is like a few clusters of grapes, when the grape harvest has already ended.
14 Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
These few shall lift up their voice and give praise. When the Lord will have been glorified, they will make a joyful noise from the sea.
15 Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
Because of this, glorify the Lord in doctrine: the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea.
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 ends of the earth, we have heard the praises of the glory of the Just One. And I said: “My secret is for myself! My secret is for myself! Woe to me! Those who would betray us have betrayed us, and they have betrayed us with the betrayal of transgression.”
17 Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
Dread, and the pit, and the snare are over you, O inhabitant 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 this shall be: whoever will flee from the voice of dread will fall into the pit. And whoever will extricate himself from the pit will be caught in the snare. For the floodgates from above have been opened, and the foundations of the earth will be shaken.
19 Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
The earth will be utterly broken! The earth will be utterly crushed! The earth will be utterly shaken!
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 stagger greatly, like a drunken man, and will be carried away, like the tent of a single night. And its iniquity will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and not rise up again.
21 Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
And this shall be: in that day, the Lord will visit upon the armies of the sky above, and upon the kings of the earth who are on the ground.
22 Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
And they will be gathered together like the gathering of one bundle into a pit. And they will be enclosed in that place, as in a prison. And after many days, they will be visited.
23 Un mēnesis nosarks, un saule nobālēs, jo Tas Kungs Cebaot ir ķēniņš Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, un viņas vecaju priekšā būs godība.
And the moon will be ashamed, and the sun will be confounded, when the Lord of hosts will reign on mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and when he will have been glorified in the sight of his elders.
