Jesajas 26
1 Tai dienā šo dziesmu dziedās Jūda zemē: mums ir stipra pilsēta, pestīšanu Viņš mums ceļ par mūri un par stipru pili.
Some day, [people in] Judah will sing this song: Our city [of Jerusalem] is strong! Yahweh protects our city; He is like [MET] a wall that surrounds it.
2 Atveriet vārtus, lai taisni ļaudis ieiet, kas ticību tur.
Open the gates of the city for people who are righteous; allow people who faithfully [obey Yahweh] to enter the city.
3 Kam nešaubīgs prāts, tam Tu uzturi pastāvīgu mieru, jo uz Tevi viņš paļaujas.
Yahweh, those who trust in you, those who firmly resolve to never doubt you, you will enable them to feel perfectly peaceful.
4 Paļaujaties uz To Kungu mūžīgi, jo Tas Kungs Dievs ir viens akmens kalns mūžīgi.
[So] always trust in Yahweh, because Yahweh, [our God], is forever [like] [MET] a huge rock [under which we are sheltered/protected/safe].
5 Jo Viņš nogāž, kas augstībā dzīvo, to augsto pili, to Viņš pazemo, to Viņš pazemo pie zemes, to Viņš met pīšļos.
He humbles proud people and destroys cities whose people are arrogant. He causes those cities to collapse into the dust/dirt.
6 Kājas viņu samīs, zemu ļaužu kājas, nabagu pēdas,
[When that happens], poor and oppressed people will trample on the ruins.
7 Taisnam ceļš ir līdzens, taisnam teku Tu līdzini.
[But as for] righteous people, Yahweh, you do what is right; [it is as though] you cause the paths where they walk to be level and smooth.
8 Uz Tevi, uz Tavas tiesāšanas ceļu mēs arī gaidām, Kungs; pēc Tava vārda un pēc Tavas piemiņas dvēsele kāro!
Yahweh, by obeying your laws we show that we trust you to help us; and what we desire is that you will be honored/praised/exalted.
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.
[All] through the night I [SYN] desire to know you better, and each morning I still want to be with you. [Only] when you come to judge [and punish] people who live on the earth will they learn to do what is right.
10 Kad bezdievīgam parāda žēlastību, tad viņš nemācās taisnību; viņš dara netaisnību taisnā zemē, jo viņš neredz Tā Kunga augstību.
[But] your acting kindly toward wicked people does not cause them to do what is good. [Even] in places where people do what is right, the wicked people continue to do what is evil, and they do not realize that you, Yahweh, are great.
11 Kungs, Tava roka ir paaugstināta, to tie neredz; tie redzēs kaunēdamies to karstumu par Taviem ļaudīm, un uguns aprīs Tavus pretiniekus.
Yahweh, [it is as though] your fist is raised up [ready to strike them], but they do not realize that. Show them that you are very eager to help your people. If your enemies would realize that, they would be ashamed; allow your fire to burn them up [because they are] your enemies.
12 Kungs, Tu mums dosi mieru, jo visu mūsu darbu Tu mums esi padarījis.
Yahweh, [we desire that] you will allow things to go well for us; everything that we have done is what you have enabled us to do.
13 Kungs, mūsu Dievs, citi kungi bez Tevis pār mums valdījuši; bet caur Tevi vien mēs pieminam Tavu vārdu.
Yahweh, our God, others have ruled over us, but you [MTY] are the only one whom we honor.
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.
Those who ruled us are [now] gone; they are dead; their spirits have left this earth, and they will not become alive [again]. You punished those rulers and got rid of them, and people do not even remember them any more.
15 Tu, Kungs, esi vairojis tos ļaudis, vairojis tos ļaudis, parādījis savu godību, tālu aizcēlis visas zemes robežas.
Yahweh, you have enabled our nation to become great; we are more in [now], and we have more land, [so we] thank/praise you.
16 Kungs, bēdās tie Tevi meklē, kad Tu tos pārmāci, tad tie gauži lūdzās.
Yahweh, when we were distressed, we asked you [to help us]; when you disciplined/punished us, we were able only to whisper when we prayed to you.
17 Tā kā grūtai sievai ir sāpes, kad viņai dzemdēšana uziet, un tā brēc savās raizēs, tā mēs bijām, Kungs, Tavā priekšā.
Like pregnant women writhe and cry out when they are giving birth, we suffered very much, too.
18 Mēs bijām grūti, mēs bijām raizēs, bet dzemdējām tik vēju; mēs tai zemei nevarējām palīdzēt, un pasaules iedzīvotāji nedzima.
We had severe pain, but nothing good resulted [MET] from it. We have not rescued our people [from being conquered by our enemies], and we have not given birth to children [who will rule the world correctly] (OR, not defeated the armies [that have attacked other nations].
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 Yahweh’s people who have died will become alive [again], their corpses will become alive! Those whose bodies lie in graves will rise and shout joyfully! His light will be [like] dew that falls on his people who have died, who are [now] in the place where the dead people are, [and will cause them to become alive again].
20 Ejat, Mani ļaudis, ejat savos kambaros, un aizslēdzat savas durvis aiz sevis, paslēpjaties kādu mazu brīdi, kamēr tā dusmība pāriet.
But now, my people/fellow-citizens, go home and lock your doors! Hide for a short time, until [Yahweh] is no longer angry.
21 Jo redzi, Tas Kungs izies no Savas vietas, piemeklēt netaisnību pie zemes iedzīvotājiem, un zeme atsegs savas asinis un neapklās vairs savus nokautos.
Listen to this: Yahweh will come from heaven to punish [all] the people on the earth for the sins that they have committed. People will be able to see [PRS] the (blood of those/the people) who have been murdered; their murderers will no longer be able to hide.
