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 proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim, To the fading flower, his glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley of a people stupefied 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 a strong, a mighty one from the Lord Like a storm of hail, like a destructive tempest, Like a flood of mighty, overflowing waters, With violence shall dash it to the ground.
3 Kājām samīs to kroni, ar ko lepojās Efraīma piedzērušies.
It shall be trodden under foot, The proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim.
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, their glorious beauty, At the head of the rich valley, Shall be as the early fig before the time of harvest, Which whoso seeth plucketh immediately, And swalloweth as soon as it is in his hand.
5 Tai dienā Tas Kungs Cebaot būs par skaistu kroni un par krāšņu vainagu Savu ļaužu atlikumam,
In that day shall Jehovah of hosts Be a glorious crown, and a beautiful diadem to 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.
A spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, And of strength to them that drive back the enemy to their gates.
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 even these stagger through wine, And reel through strong drink; The priest and the prophet stagger through strong drink; They are overpowered with wine; They stumble through strong drink; They reel in vision, They stagger in judgment.
8 Jo visi galdi ir pilni netīru vēmekļu, ka vietas vairs nav.
For all their tables are full of filthy vomit, So that there is no place clean.
9 Kam tad tas atzīšanu mācīs, un kam tas mācību darīs zināmu? Tiem no piena atradinātiem, tiem no krūtīm nošķirtiem?
“Whom,” say they, “will he teach knowledge, And to whom will he impart instruction? To the weaned from the milk? To those just taken from the breast?
10 Jo (tie saka: ) pavēli uz pavēli, pavēli uz pavēli, likumu uz likumu, likumu uz likumu, maķenīt še, maķenīt te!
For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there.”
11 Tāpēc ar lūpām, kas stostās, un ar svešu mēli viņš runās uz šiem ļaudīm, kam viņš bija sacījis:
Yea, with stammering lips and a strange tongue He shall indeed speak to this people;
12 „Še ir dusa, dodiet piekusušam atpūsties! Un še ir atspirgšana, “- bet tie to negribēja dzirdēt.
He that said to them, “This is the way of rest, give rest to the weary; This is the way of safety”; But 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.
Then shall the word of Jehovah be indeed to them “Precept upon precept, precept upon precept, Command upon command, command upon command, A little here, and a little there,” So that they shall go on, and fall backwards, and be broken, And be snared and caught.
14 Tādēļ klausiet Tā Kunga vārdu, jūs mēdītāji, kas valda pār šiem Jeruzālemes ļaudīm.
Wherefore hear ye the word of Jehovah, Ye scoffers, who rule this people 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)
Since ye say, “We have entered into a covenant with death, And with the under-world have we made an agreement, The overflowing scourge, when it passeth through, shall not reach us; For we have made falsehood our refuge, And in deceit we have hidden 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 Jehovah: Behold, I have laid in Zion as a foundation a stone, A tried stone, a precious corner-stone, a sure foundation; He that trusteth shall not flee away.
17 Un Es iecelšu tiesu par mēru un taisnību par svaru, un krusa aizraus to melu patvērumu, un ūdens pārpludinās to slēpšanas vietu.
I will make justice a line, And righteousness a plummet, And the hail shall sweep away the refuge of falsehood, And the waters shall overwhelm its 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 broken, And your agreement with the under-world shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, By it shall ye be beaten down. (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 bear you away; For every morning shall it pass through, By day and by night; Even to hear the rumor of it shall be terrible.
20 Jo gulta ir īsa, ka nevar izstiepties, un apsegs šaurs, ka nevar ietīties.
Yea, the bed is too short for one to stretch himself on it, And the covering too narrow for one to wrap himself in it.
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 Jehovah will rise up, as in mount Perazim; He will be moved with anger, as in the valley of Gibeon, To perform his act, his strange act, And to execute his work, his strange work.
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 no longer scoffers, Lest your bands become stronger; For destruction and punishment have been revealed to me From Jehovah of hosts concerning the whole land!
23 Griežat šurp ausis un klausiet manu balsi, ņemiet vērā un klausiet, ko es runāju.
Give ear, and listen to my voice, Attend, and hearken to my words!
24 Vai tad arājs vienmēr ars, kad grib sēt, kārtos un ecēs savu zemi?
Is the ploughman always ploughing in order to sow? Is he always opening and harrowing his field?
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 the face thereof even, Doth he not then scatter the dill, and cast abroad the cumin, And sow the wheat in rows, And the barley in its appointed place, And the spelt in his border?
26 Un viņa Dievs viņam rādījis, kā piederas, un viņu pamācījis.
Thus his God rightly instructeth him, And giveth him knowledge.
27 Jo dilles netop kultas ar ruļļiem, nedz bluķi top vesti pār ķimenēm, bet dilles top kultas ar spriguli, un ķimenes ar kulstekli.
The dill is not beaten out with the thrashing-sledge, Nor is the wheel of the wain rolled over the cumin; But the dill is beaten out with a staff, And the cumin with a rod.
28 Vai maizes labība top sagrūsta? Nē, to nesakuļ pavisam; to izkuļ ar saviem bluķiem un zirgiem, bet nesagrūž.
Bread-corn is beaten out, Yet doth not the husbandman thrash it without limit. He driveth over it the wheels of the wain, And the horses, yet doth he not utterly crush it.
29 Arī tas nāk no Tā Kunga Cebaot, Viņš ir brīnišķīgs padomā un liels gudrībā.
This also proceedeth from Jehovah of hosts; He is wonderful in counsel, Excellent in wisdom.
