Jesajas 29
1 Ak vai, Ariel, Ariel, pilsēta, kur Dāvids mitis, lai vēl gads ar gadu mijās, lai vēl svētki savā rindā pāriet.
Ho! Ariel, Ariel, the town against which David made war; put year to year, let the feasts come round:
2 Tad Es Arieli gribu apbēdināt, un tur būs vaidi un skumjas, un Man tomēr būs kā Ariels (Dieva lauva).
And I will send trouble on Ariel, and there will be weeping and cries of grief; and she will be to me as Ariel.
3 Jo Es gan apmetīšos visapkārt pret tevi un tevi spaidīšu ar karaspēku un uzcelšu pret tevi vaļņus.
And I will make war on you like David, and you will be shut in by earthworks, and I will make towers round you.
4 Tad tu tapsi pazemota, tu runāsi no zemes, un tava valoda skanēs klusiņām no pīšļiem, un tava balss būs kā burvja balss no zemes, un tava valoda čukstēs no pīšļiem.
And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.
5 Un tavu ienaidnieku pulks būs tāpat kā smalki putekļi, un tas varas darītāju pulks kā vieglas pelavas, un tas notiks vienā acumirklī piepeši.
And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.
6 Tu tapsi piemeklēta no Tā Kunga Cebaot ar pērkoni un ar zemes trīcēšanu un ar lielu rūkšanu, ar viesuli un ar aukām un ar rijošu uguns liesmu.
The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.
7 Bet kā sapņa parādīšana naktī, tā būs visu pagānu pulks, kas karos pret Arieli, un visi, kas karos pret viņu un pret viņa pilīm un to spaidīs.
And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.
8 Tas būs tā, kā kad izsalcis sapnī redz, ka tas ēd, bet kad uzmostas, tad viņa sirds tukša, vai kā kad izslāpis sapnī redz, ka tas dzer, bet kad uzmostas, tad vēl ir izslāpis, un viņa sirds tvīkst. Tā būs ar visu pagānu pulku, kas karo pret Ciānas kalnu.
And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.
9 Iztrūcinājāties un brīnāties, paliekat stulbi un akli! Tie ir piedzērušies, bet ne no vīna, tie streipuļo, bet ne no stipra dzēriena.
Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.
10 Jo Tas Kungs pār jums izlējis grūta miega garu, un jūsu acis, tos praviešus, Viņš ir aizdarījis, un jūsu galvas, tos redzētājus, apstulbojis.
For the Lord has sent on you a spirit of deep sleep; and by him your eyes, the prophets, are shut, and your heads, the seers, are covered.
11 Tādēļ jums visa parādīšana palikusi kā aizzieģelētas grāmatas vārdi, ko vienam dod, kas māk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nevaru, ja tā ir aizzieģelēta.
And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:
12 Un to grāmatu dod vienam, kas nemāk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nemāku lasīt.
And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.
13 Jo Tas Kungs ir sacījis: tādēļ ka šie ļaudis pie Manis nāk ar savu muti un Mani godā ar savām lūpām, bet viņu sirds ir tālu no Manis nost, un ka tie Mani bīstas pēc cilvēku baušļiem, kas tiem top mācīti,
And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;
14 Tādēļ, redzi, Es joprojām ar šiem ļaudīm darīšu brīnišķi, brīnišķi un apbrīnojami, ka viņu gudro gudrība zudīs, un viņu prātīgo prāts apslēpsies.
For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.
15 Ak vai, tiem, kas savu padomu dziļi grib apslēpt no Tā Kunga, un kuru darbi notiek tumsībā, un kas saka: kas mūs redz un kas mūs pazīst?
Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?
16 Ak tavu bezprātību! Vai māls turams podniekam līdzi, ka darbs sacītu par savu darītāju: viņš mani nav darījis, un tēls par savu tēlotāju: viņš neprot?
You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge?
17 Vai nav tikai mazs brīdis vēl, ka Lībanus taps darīts par auglīgu tīrumu, un auglīgais tīrums taps turēts par mežu?
In a very short time Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will seem like a wood.
18 Un tai dienā kurlie dzirdēs grāmatas vārdus, un aklo acis redzēs no krēslas un tumsas.
And in that day those whose ears are stopped will be hearing the words of the book; and the eyes of the blind will see through the mist and the dark.
19 Un bēdīgiem būs atkal prieks iekš Tā Kunga, un nabagi starp cilvēkiem līksmosies iekš Israēla Svētā,
And the poor will have their joy in the Lord increased, and those in need will be glad in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Ka varas darītājam gals klāt, un mēdītājs beigts, un visi izdeldēti, kas uz blēņām domā,
For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:
21 Kas viena vārda dēļ cilvēku notiesā un liek valgus tam, kas vārtos pārmāca, un taisno nospiež ar viltu.
Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.
22 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, kas Ābrahāmu atpestījis, saka uz Jēkaba namu: Jēkabs vairs netaps kaunā, un viņa vaigs vairs nenobālēs.
For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.
23 Jo kad viņš, kad viņa bērni redzēs Manu roku darbu savā vidū, tad tie svētīs Manu Vārdu un svētīs to Svēto iekš Jēkaba un bīsies Israēla Dievu.
But when they, the children of Jacob, see the work of my hands among them, they will give honour to my name; yes, they will give honour to the Holy One of Jacob, and go in fear of the God of Israel.
24 Un tie, kam gars alojās, nāks pie saprašanas, un kurnētāji pieņems mācību.
Those whose hearts were turned away from him will get knowledge, and those who made an outcry against him will give attention to his teaching.
