Jesajas 28
1 Ak vai, tam kronim, ar ko lepojās Efraīma piedzērušies, vai tai savītušai puķei, viņu goda glītumam, kas pušķo bagātās ielejas galvu tiem, kas vīna pārvarēti.
Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are smitten down with wine!
2 Redzi, viens stiprs un varens no Tā Kunga tā kā barga krusa, kā briesmīga vētra, tā kā vareni ūdens plūdi, kas varen uzplūst, tā Viņš gāzīs pie zemes ar varu.
Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, as a storm of hail, a tempest of destruction, as a storm of mighty waters overflowing, that casteth down to the earth with violence.
3 Kājām samīs to kroni, ar ko lepojās Efraīma piedzērušies.
The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;
4 Un tai vīstošai puķei, viņu goda glītumam, kas pušķo tās bagātās ielejas galvu, notiek kā agri ienākušai vīģei priekš lasāmā laika; tiklīdz kas to redz un dabū savā rokā, tas to tūdaļ apēd.
And the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which when one looketh upon it, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 Tai dienā Tas Kungs Cebaot būs par skaistu kroni un par krāšņu vainagu Savu ļaužu atlikumam,
In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of His people;
6 Un par tiesas Garu tiem, kas sēž tiesas amatā, un par stiprumu tiem, kas karu(ienaidu) dzen atpakaļ līdz vārtiem.
And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.
7 Bet arī šie streipuļo no vīna un sajukuši no stipra dzēriena. Priesteris un pravietis streipuļo no stipra dzēriena, tie ir vīna pārvarēti, tie sajukuši no stipra dzēriena, tie streipuļo pie parādīšanām un klūp tiesu spriezdami.
But these also reel through wine, and stagger through strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel through strong drink, they are confused because of wine, they stagger because of strong drink; they reel in vision, they totter in judgment.
8 Jo visi galdi ir pilni netīru vēmekļu, ka vietas vairs nav.
For all tables are full of filthy vomit, and no place is clean.
9 Kam tad tas atzīšanu mācīs, un kam tas mācību darīs zināmu? Tiem no piena atradinātiem, tiem no krūtīm nošķirtiem?
Whom shall one teach knowledge? And whom shall one make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, them that are drawn from the breasts?
10 Jo (tie saka: ) pavēli uz pavēli, pavēli uz pavēli, likumu uz likumu, likumu uz likumu, maķenīt še, maķenīt te!
For it is precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little.
11 Tāpēc ar lūpām, kas stostās, un ar svešu mēli viņš runās uz šiem ļaudīm, kam viņš bija sacījis:
For with stammering lips and with a strange tongue shall it be spoken to this people;
12 „Še ir dusa, dodiet piekusušam atpūsties! Un še ir atspirgšana, “- bet tie to negribēja dzirdēt.
To whom it was said: 'This is the rest, give ye rest to the weary; and this is the refreshing'; yet they would not hear.
13 Tādēļ tiem notiks Tā Kunga vārds: pavēli uz pavēli, pavēli uz pavēli, likumu uz likumu, likumu uz likumu, maķenīt še, maķenīt te, ka tie ies un atpakaļ kritīs un sadauzīsies un taps savaldzināti un sagūstīti.
And so the word of the LORD is unto them precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14 Tādēļ klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs mēdītāji, kas valda pār šiem Jeruzālemes ļaudīm.
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scoffers, the ballad-mongers of this people which is in Jerusalem:
15 Jo jūs sakāt, mēs derību esam derējuši ar nāvi un esam saderējušies ar elli; lai arī tādas pātagas nāk kā plūdi, tomēr tās mūs neaizņems; jo melus esam likuši sev par patvērumu, un apakš viltus esam apslēpušies. (Sheol h7585)
Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, and with the nether-world are we at agreement; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and in falsehood have we hid ourselves'; (Sheol h7585)
16 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: redzi, Es esmu, kas Ciānā liek pamata akmeni, izraudzītu akmeni, dārgu stūra akmeni, kas it stipri nolikts: kas tic, tas nebēgs.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a costly corner-stone of sure foundation; he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Un Es iecelšu tiesu par mēru un taisnību par svaru, un krusa aizraus to melu patvērumu, un ūdens pārpludinās to slēpšanas vietu.
And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.
18 Un jūsu derība ar nāvi taps iznīcināta, un jūsu līgums ar elli, tas nepastāvēs. Kad tās pātagas nāks kā plūdi, tad jūs no tām tapsiet samīti. (Sheol h7585)
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled and your agreement with the nether-world shall not stand; when the scouring scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it, (Sheol h7585)
19 Cikkārt tās nāks, tās jūs aizraus, jo ik rītu tās nāks, dienu nakti. Tikai briesmas būs, dzirdēt to sludināšanu.
As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be sheer terror to understand the message.
20 Jo gulta ir īsa, ka nevar izstiepties, un apsegs šaurs, ka nevar ietīties.
For the bed is too short for a man to stretch himself; and the covering too narrow when he gathereth himself up.
21 Jo Tas Kungs tāpat celsies kā pie Pracim kalna, Viņš tāpat dusmosies kā Gibeonas ielejā, Savu darbu darīt, - Viņa darbs būs dīvains, un Savu strādāšanu pastrādāt, Viņa strādāšana būs dīvaina.
For the LORD will rise up as in mount Perazim, He will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that He may do His work, strange is His work, and bring to pass His act, strange is His act.
22 Nu tad, nemēdiet vairs, ka jūsu saites netop cietākas, jo es esmu dzirdējis izdeldēšanu, noliktu no Tā Kunga Dieva Cebaot pār visu zemi.
Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bands be made strong; for an extermination wholly determined have I heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, upon the whole land.
23 Griežat šurp ausis un klausiet manu balsi, ņemiet vērā un klausiet, ko es runāju.
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; attend, and hear my speech.
24 Vai tad arājs vienmēr ars, kad grib sēt, kārtos un ecēs savu zemi?
Is the plowman never done with plowing to sow, with the opening and harrowing of his ground?
25 Vai nav tā? Kad viņš to virsu ir līdzinājis, tad kaisa dilles un met ķimenes, vai sēj kviešus pēc kārtas, vai miežus, vai rudzus, ikkatru savā vietā.
When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?
26 Un viņa Dievs viņam rādījis, kā piederas, un viņu pamācījis.
For He doth instruct him aright; his God doth teach him.
27 Jo dilles netop kultas ar ruļļiem, nedz bluķi top vesti pār ķimenēm, bet dilles top kultas ar spriguli, un ķimenes ar kulstekli.
For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing-sledge, neither is a cart-wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the black cummin is beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
28 Vai maizes labība top sagrūsta? Nē, to nesakuļ pavisam; to izkuļ ar saviem bluķiem un zirgiem, bet nesagrūž.
Is bread corn crushed? Nay, he will not ever be threshing it; and though the roller of his wagon and its sharp edges move noisily, he doth not crush it.
29 Arī tas nāk no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Viņš ir brīnišķīgs padomā un liels gudrībā.
This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.
