Jesajas 24
1 Redzi, Tas Kungs zemi dara tukšu, un to izposta un pārvērš viņas seju un izklīdina viņas iedzīvotājus.
Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered 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 it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
3 Postīt to zemi izpostīs, un laupīt viņu izlaupīs; jo Tas Kungs šo vārdu ir runājis.
Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:
4 Zeme tvīkst un nīkst, zemes virsas gurst un vīst, ļaužu augstie tai zemē gurst.
Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.
5 Jo zeme ir sagānīta no saviem iedzīvotājiem, jo tie pārkāpj bauslību un pārgroza likumu un lauž to mūžīgo derību.
And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.
6 Tādēļ lāsti zemi noēd, un kas tur dzīvo, tiem jācieš; tādēļ zemes iedzīvotāji nokalst un maz cilvēku atliks.
Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.
7 Vīns nonīcis, vīna koks savītis, visi, kam bija priecīga sirds, nopūšas.
Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.
8 Bungu prieks apklusis, līksmu ļaužu troksnis nostājies, kokles prieks pagalam.
Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.
9 Vīnu vairs nedzer ar dziesmām, stiprais dzēriens dzērājiem rūgts.
With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.
10 Tukša pilsēta izpostīta, visi nami aizslēgti, ka nevar ieiet.
It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.
11 Vīna pēc žēlojās uz ielām, zuduši visi prieki, zemes līksmība ir projām.
A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.
12 Posts vien pilsētā atlicis, un vārti salauzti drupu drupās.
Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.
13 Jo tā notiks pa zemes virsu tautu starpā, kā kad eļļas koku nokrata, tā kā kad atlikas lasa pēc ķekaru noņemšanas.
When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,
14 Tie paceļ savu balsi un dzied priecīgi, pār Tā Kunga godību tie gavilē no jūras puses.
They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.
15 Tādēļ godinājiet To Kungu austruma zemē, tais jūras salās Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, vārdu.
Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.
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 skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, 'Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
17 Briesmas un bedre un valgs pār tevi, tu zemes iedzīvotājs!
Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.
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 hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.
19 Zeme sprāgdama sprāgs, zeme plīsdama plīsīs, zeme trīcēdama trīcēs,
Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.
20 Zeme streipuļos kā piedzēris vīrs un šūposies kā šūpulis, un viņas grēki uz viņas būs smagi, un viņa kritīs un necelsies vairs augšām.
Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.
21 Un tai dienā Tas Kungs piemeklēs to augstības karaspēku augstībā un tos zemes ķēniņus virs zemes.
And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.
22 Un tie taps ieslodzīti kā cietumnieki bedrē, un taps saslēgti cietumā, un pēc ilga laika tie atkal taps piemeklēti.
And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
23 Un mēnesis nosarks, un saule nobālēs, jo Tas Kungs Cebaot ir ķēniņš Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē, un viņas vecaju priekšā būs godība.
And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
