< Jesajas 25 >
1 Kungs, Tu esi mans Dievs, es Tevi gribu paaugstināt, slavēt Tavu vārdu; jo Tu esi darījis brīnumus. Tavi padomi no sen dienām ir patiesība un uzticība.
O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] counsels of old, in faithfulness [and] truth.
2 Jo Tu pilsētu esi padarījis par akmeņu kopu, stipru pili par gruvešiem, svešu ļaužu skaistos namus, ka tā vairs nav pilsēta, - nemūžam to vairs neuzcels.
For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Tāpēc Tevi slavēs stipra tauta, varenu ļaužu pilsētas Tevi bīsies.
Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 Jo Tu esi patvērums nabagam, patvērums vājam viņa bēdās, aizsegs pret plūdiem, pavēnis pret karstumu; jo tie briesmīgie šņāc kā plūdi pret mūri.
For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Tā kā karstumu izkaltušā zemē, tā Tu nospiedi svešo ļaužu trakumu; kā karstums caur padebeša ēnu, tā briesmīgo ļaužu dziesma apklusa.
As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Un Tas Kungs Cebaot darīs uz šī kalna visām tautām taukas dzīres, dzīres no veca vīna, no taukiem ēdieniem un no veca izkāsta vīna.
And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 Un Viņš izdeldēs uz šī kalna to vaiga apsegu, ar ko visas tautas ir apsegtas, un to deķi, ar ko visi pagāni apklāti.
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 Viņš nāvi aprīs mūžīgi. Un Tas Kungs Dievs noslaucīs asaras no visiem vaigiem un atņems Savu ļaužu negodu no visas zemes virsas; jo Tas Kungs to ir runājis.
He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.
9 Un tai dienā sacīs: redzi, šis ir mūsu Dievs, uz Viņu esam gaidījuši, ka Viņš mūs izpestī. Šis ir Tas Kungs, uz Viņu esam gaidījuši, lai priecājamies un līksmojamies par Viņa pestīšanu.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Jo Tā Kunga roka dusēs uz šā kalna. Bet Moabs taps samīts apakš Viņa, tā kā salmi top samīdīti mēslos.
For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.
11 Un Viņš tur izpletīs Savas rokas tā kā peldētājs tās izpleš peldēdams, un Dievs pazemos viņa greznību līdz ar viņa roku viltību.
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim; but [Jehovah] will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.
12 Un tavus augstos stipros pils mūrus Viņš gāzīs, pazemos un pīšļos metīs pie zemes.
And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
