Jesajas 26
1 Tai dienā šo dziesmu dziedās Jūda zemē: mums ir stipra pilsēta, pestīšanu Viņš mums ceļ par mūri un par stipru pili.
At that time, this will be the song that is sung in the land of Judah: “Ours is a strong city! Its walls and defenses are our salvation!
2 Atveriet vārtus, lai taisni ļaudis ieiet, kas ticību tur.
Open the gates so the nation who follows the right can come in, the nation that stays faithful.
3 Kam nešaubīgs prāts, tam Tu uzturi pastāvīgu mieru, jo uz Tevi viņš paļaujas.
You will keep in complete peace those who keep their minds focused on you, because they trust in you.
4 Paļaujaties uz To Kungu mūžīgi, jo Tas Kungs Dievs ir viens akmens kalns mūžīgi.
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.
5 Jo Viņš nogāž, kas augstībā dzīvo, to augsto pili, to Viņš pazemo, to Viņš pazemo pie zemes, to Viņš met pīšļos.
He brings down those who live so high and mighty; he demolishes the proud city with its high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
6 Kājas viņu samīs, zemu ļaužu kājas, nabagu pēdas,
The poor tread it underfoot; the oppressed walk on top of it.
7 Taisnam ceļš ir līdzens, taisnam teku Tu līdzini.
You God, do what is right, and you straighten out the way for those who live right; you smooth out their path.
8 Uz Tevi, uz Tavas tiesāšanas ceļu mēs arī gaidām, Kungs; pēc Tava vārda un pēc Tavas piemiņas dvēsele kāro!
Yes, we follow your instructions, Lord, we put our hope in you. What we most want is to remember you and your wonderful character.
9 Mana dvēsele ilgojās pēc Tevis naktī, un mans gars iekš manis agri Tevi meklē. Jo kad Tava sodība parādās virs zemes, tad pasaules iedzīvotāji mācās taisnību.
I look for you in the night; deep inside me I long for you. When your laws are shown to the earth, then the people of the world learn what is right.
10 Kad bezdievīgam parāda žēlastību, tad viņš nemācās taisnību; viņš dara netaisnību taisnā zemē, jo viņš neredz Tā Kunga augstību.
Though grace is shown to the wicked, they don't learn to do right. Even in a country where people do what's right, they continue to do evil and they don't think about how great the Lord is.
11 Kungs, Tava roka ir paaugstināta, to tie neredz; tie redzēs kaunēdamies to karstumu par Taviem ļaudīm, un uguns aprīs Tavus pretiniekus.
Lord, you are holding your hand up, but they don't see it. Let them see your passionate commitment for your people, and be embarrassed; may the fire reserved for your enemies destroy them!
12 Kungs, Tu mums dosi mieru, jo visu mūsu darbu Tu mums esi padarījis.
Lord, you give us peace and prosperity; everything we've achieved you have done for us.
13 Kungs, mūsu Dievs, citi kungi bez Tevis pār mums valdījuši; bet caur Tevi vien mēs pieminam Tavu vārdu.
Lord our God, there have been other lords besides you who have ruled us, but you are the only one we worship.
14 Tie ir nomiruši un netaps dzīvi, tie ir ēnas un vairs necelsies; tā Tu tos esi piemeklējis un izdeldējis un visu viņu piemiņu iznīcinājis.
They are dead, they will not live again; they will not rise from the grave. Lord, you punished them and destroyed them—even wiping out every memory about them.
15 Tu, Kungs, esi vairojis tos ļaudis, vairojis tos ļaudis, parādījis savu godību, tālu aizcēlis visas zemes robežas.
You have made the nation grow, Lord, you have made the nation grow. You have expanded our borders of the land, and we honored you.
16 Kungs, bēdās tie Tevi meklē, kad Tu tos pārmāci, tad tie gauži lūdzās.
Lord, when we were suffering we came to you, pouring out our prayers like whispers as you disciplined us.
17 Tā kā grūtai sievai ir sāpes, kad viņai dzemdēšana uziet, un tā brēc savās raizēs, tā mēs bijām, Kungs, Tavā priekšā.
Just as a pregnant woman giving birth tosses about and cries out in pain, that's what we were like in your presence, Lord.
18 Mēs bijām grūti, mēs bijām raizēs, bet dzemdējām tik vēju; mēs tai zemei nevarējām palīdzēt, un pasaules iedzīvotāji nedzima.
However, even though we became pregnant and we tossed about in pain, we gave birth to nothing but air. We did not bring about the salvation of the earth, and the people of the world have not become alive.
19 Tavi mirušie dzīvos, mani miroņi celsies augšām. Uzmostaties un gavilējiet, jūs, kas pīšļos guliet; jo Tava rasa ir kā rasa uz zāli, un mirušos zeme izdos ārā.
But those who died in you, Lord, will live! Their bodies will rise again! Wake up, and sing for joy, you people sleeping in the dust, for the dew you receive is like the dew of the morning giving life to those in the grave.
20 Ejat, Mani ļaudis, ejat savos kambaros, un aizslēdzat savas durvis aiz sevis, paslēpjaties kādu mazu brīdi, kamēr tā dusmība pāriet.
My people, go inside your homes and close your doors behind you. Hide there for a little while until the fury has passed.
21 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs izies no Savas vietas, piemeklēt netaisnību pie zemes iedzīvotājiem, un zeme atsegs savas asinis un neapklās vairs savus nokautos.
Watch out! The Lord is coming from where he lives to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will reveal the blood that has been shed on it; the earth won't hide those who have been killed any no longer.”
