< 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.
Yahweh, you are my God; I will honor you and praise you [MTY]. You do wonderful things; you said long ago that you would do those things, and now you have done them like you said that you would.
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.
[Sometimes] you have caused cities to become heaps of rubble, cities that had strong walls around them. You have caused palaces in foreign countries to disappear; they will never be rebuilt.
3 Tāpēc Tevi slavēs stipra tauta, varenu ļaužu pilsētas Tevi bīsies.
Therefore, people in powerful nations will declare that you are very great, and people in nations [whose leaders are] ruthless/cruel will revere you.
4 Jo Tu esi patvērums nabagam, patvērums vājam viņa bēdās, aizsegs pret plūdiem, pavēnis pret karstumu; jo tie briesmīgie šņāc kā plūdi pret mūri.
Yahweh, you are [like] [SIM] a strong tower where poor people can (find refuge/be safe), a place where needy people can go when they are distressed. [You are like] [MET] a place where people can find refuge in a storm and where they can be shaded from the hot sun. Ruthless/Cruel [people] oppress us; they are like [SIM] a storm beating against a wall,
5 Tā kā karstumu izkaltušā zemē, tā Tu nospiedi svešo ļaužu trakumu; kā karstums caur padebeša ēnu, tā briesmīgo ļaužu dziesma apklusa.
and like [SIM] [the intense] heat in the desert. [But] you cause the roaring of people in foreign nations to cease. Like the air cools when a cloud comes overhead, you stop ruthless/cruel [people] from singing songs boasting about their being very great.
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.
Here in Jerusalem, the Commander of the armies of angels will prepare a wonderful feast for all the people [of the world]. It will be a banquet with plenty of good meat and fine well-aged [DOU] wine.
7 Un Viņš izdeldēs uz šī kalna to vaiga apsegu, ar ko visas tautas ir apsegtas, un to deķi, ar ko visi pagāni apklāti.
[People here are] sad; their being sad is [like] a dark cloud that hangs over them, like they experience when someone dies. But Yahweh will enable them to quit being sad.
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 will get rid of death forever! Yahweh our God will cause people to no longer mourn because someone has died. And he will stop other people insulting and making fun of his land and [us] his people. [That will surely happen because] Yahweh has said 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.
At that time, [people] will proclaim, “Yahweh is our God! We trusted in him, and he rescued us! Yahweh, in whom we trusted, has done it; we should rejoice because of his saving/rescuing [us]!”
10 Jo Tā Kunga roka dusēs uz šā kalna. Bet Moabs taps samīts apakš Viņa, tā kā salmi top samīdīti mēslos.
Yahweh [MTY] will protect and bless Jerusalem. [But] he will crush [the people in the land of] Moab; they will be like [SIM] straw that is trampled in the manure [and left to rot].
11 Un Viņš tur izpletīs Savas rokas tā kā peldētājs tās izpleš peldēdams, un Dievs pazemos viņa greznību līdz ar viņa roku viltību.
Yahweh will push down the people of Moab like [SIM] a swimmer pushes [the water] with his hands. He will cause them to cease being proud, and he will show that all the things that they have done are worthless.
12 Un tavus augstos stipros pils mūrus Viņš gāzīs, pazemos un pīšļos metīs pie zemes.
The high walls [around the cities] in Moab will be torn down; they will be demolished and fall into the dust/dirt.
