Jesajas 27
1 Tai dienā Tas Kungs ar Savu cieto, lielo un stipro zobenu piemeklēs Levijatanu, to žiglo čūsku, un Levijatanu, to lunkano čūsku, un nokaus to lielo pūķi, kas jūrā.
At that time, Yahweh will punish Leviathan, the swift-moving monster/dragon, that coiling serpent that lives in the sea. Yahweh will kill it with his sharp, huge, and powerful sword.
2 Tai dienā būs jauks vīna dārzs, dziediet par to.
At that time, [Yahweh will say], “You [Israeli people, who are like] [MET] a fruitful vineyard, must sing!
3 Es, Tas Kungs, to pasargu, ik acumirkli Es to slacinu, lai neviens to neaiztiek, nakti un dienu Es to sargāju.
I will [protect you] [like a farmer] [MET] waters his crops carefully [in order that they will grow well]. I will guard you day and night, in order that no one harms you.
4 Dusmu Man vairs nav. - Ja būtu Manā priekšā ērkšķi un dadži, karā Es pret tiem celtos un tos visus sadedzinātu,
I am no [longer] angry [with my people]; [if any of your enemies try to injure you like briers and thorns injure people] [MET], I will attack them [in battles]; I will get rid of them completely,
5 Ja tie nemeklē Manu palīgu, un neder mieru ar Mani, mieru ja neder ar Mani.
unless they request me to protect them; I strongly invite them to make peace with me [DOU]!”
6 Nākošā laikā Jēkabs iesakņosies, Israēls zaļos un ziedēs un zemes virsu pildīs ar augļiem.
There will be a time when the (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) will [prosper like] a plant that has good roots; they will be like [MET] trees that bud and blossom and bear a lot of fruit; [what they do will bless] all the people in the world.
7 Vai Viņš to tā sitis, kā Viņš viņa sitējus sitis? Vai Viņš to tā kāvis, kā Viņš viņu kāvējus kāvis?
[But now I ask], has Yahweh punished us Israelis like he punished our enemies? Has he punished us as much as he punished them?
8 Mēreni Tu viņu sodīji, kad to liki aizvest, to gauži vētīdams rīta vēja dienā.
[No, he has not done that], [but] he punished us Israeli people and (exiled us/forced us to leave our country); we were taken away from our land as though [SIM] we were struck by a windstorm from the east.
9 Tādēļ Jēkaba noziegums caur to top salīdzināts, un kad viņa grēki atņemti, tad šie ir visi tie augļi, ka visus altāra akmeņus darīs par izkaisītiem gruvekļiem; Ašeras un saules stabi nepastāvēs.
Yahweh did that in order to punish us for our sins, and remove our guilt. As a result [of our being exiled], all the altars to other gods [in Israel] will be demolished, and we will be forgiven for the sins that we have committed. There will be no more poles for worshiping the goddess Asherah, or altars for burning incense to other gods; they will all be torn down.
10 Jo tā stiprā pilsēta būs tukša, tās mājvietas taps pamestas un atstātas kā tuksnesis; tur teļi taps ganīti, un tur tie gulsies un noēdīs viņa krūmus.
The cities that have strong walls around them will be empty; like the desert, they will have no one living in them. The houses will be abandoned, and the streets will be full of weeds. Calves will eat grass there and lie down there; they will chew up all the leaves on the trees.
11 Kad viņa zari būs nokaltuši, tad tie taps nolauzti, un sievas nāks un ar tiem kurinās. Jo tie ir ļaudis, kam prāta nav, tādēļ viņu Radītājs par tiem neapžēlosies, un kas tos ir darījis, tas viņiem žēlastības neparādīs.
[The Israeli people are like] [MET] dry branches on a tree; women break them off and use them to make fires [under their cooking pots]. Our Israeli people do not have any sense; so Yahweh, who created them, will not act mercifully toward them or be kind to them.
12 Un notiks tai dienā, tad Tas Kungs augļus sakrās no lielupes malas līdz Ēģiptes upei; un jūs visi līdz tapsiet salasīti, Israēla bērni.
[However], there will be a time when Yahweh will gather them together [again; he will separate them from the people who have conquered them, like people] separate wheat from chaff. He will bring them [back to Israel], one by one, from [the land between] the Euphrates River [in the northeast] and the brook at the border of Egypt [in the southwest].
13 Un tai dienā ar lielu bazūni taps bazūnēts, un tad nāks, kas pazuduši Asura zemē un kas izdzīti Ēģiptes zemē, un pielūgs To Kungu uz tā svētā kalna Jeruzālemē.
At that time, a trumpet will be blown very loudly. And those who were exiled to Assyria and Egypt and who almost died there will return to Jerusalem, to worship Yahweh on [Zion], his holy hill.
