Jesajas 24
1 Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
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 shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, 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 shall be utterly emptied, and clean despoiled; for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4 Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
The earth fainteth and fadeth away, the world faileth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do fail.
5 Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statute, broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
Therefore hath a curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth waste away, and men are left few.
7 Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
The new wine faileth, the vine fadeth; all the merry-hearted do sigh.
8 Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9 Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
They drink not wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to them that drink it.
10 Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
Broken down is the city of wasteness; every house is shut up, that none may come in.
11 Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
There is a crying in the streets amidst the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12 Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten unto ruin.
13 Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
For thus shall it be in the midst of the earth, among the peoples, as at the beating of an olive-tree, as at the gleanings when the vintage is done.
14 Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
Those yonder lift up their voice, they sing for joy; for the majesty of the LORD they shout from the sea:
15 Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
'Therefore glorify ye the LORD in the regions of light, even the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the isles 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 uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: 'Glory to the righteous.' But I say: I waste away, I waste away, woe is me! The treacherous deal treacherously; yea, the treacherous deal very treacherously.
17 Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, 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 it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;
19 Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
The earth is broken, broken down, the earth is crumbled in pieces, the earth trembleth and tottereth;
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 reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21 Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will punish the host of the high heaven on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22 Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the dungeon, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be punished.
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 shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for the LORD of hosts will reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His elders shall be Glory.
