Jesajas 29
1 Ak vai, Ariel, Ariel, pilsēta, kur Dāvids mitis, lai vēl gads ar gadu mijās, lai vēl svētki savā rindā pāriet.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city against which David fought: year has been added to year, the solemnities have unfolded.
2 Tad Es Arieli gribu apbēdināt, un tur būs vaidi un skumjas, un Man tomēr būs kā Ariels (Dieva lauva).
And I will surround Ariel with siege works, and it will be in sorrow and mourning, and it will be like Ariel to me.
3 Jo Es gan apmetīšos visapkārt pret tevi un tevi spaidīšu ar karaspēku un uzcelšu pret tevi vaļņus.
And I will surround you like a sphere all around you, and I will raise up a rampart against you, and I will set up fortifications to blockade 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.
You will be brought low. You will speak from the ground, and your eloquence will be heard from the dirt. And, from the ground, your voice will be like that of the python, and your eloquence will mumble from the dirt.
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 multitude of those who fan you will be like fine dust. And the multitude of those who have prevailed against you will be like embers fading away.
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.
And this will happen suddenly and swiftly. It will be visited from the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquakes, and with the great noise of a whirlwind and a storm, and with a flame of devouring 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 the multitude of all the nations that have struggled against Ariel will be like the dream of a vision by night, along with all who have battled, and besieged, and prevailed against it.
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 one who is hungry and dreams of eating, but, when he has been awakened, his soul is empty. And it will be like one who is thirsty and dreams of drinking, but, after he has been awakened, he still languishes in thirst, and his soul is empty. So shall the multitude of all the nations be, who have struggled against 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 stupefied and in wonder! Shake and quiver! Be inebriated, but not from wine! Stagger, but not from drunkenness!
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 mixed for you a spirit of deep sleep. He will close your eyes. He will cover your prophets and leaders, who see visions.
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 will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they have given it to someone who knows how to read, they will say, “Read this,” but he will respond, “I cannot; for it has been sealed.”
12 Un to grāmatu dod vienam, kas nemāk lasīt, un saka: lasi jel šo! Un viņš saka: es nemāku lasīt.
But if the book is given to someone who does not know how to read, and it is said to him, “Read,” then he will respond, “I do not know how to read.”
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: Since this people have drawn near to me only with their mouth, and their lips glorify me while their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is based on the commandments and doctrines 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 reason, behold, I will proceed to accomplish a wonder for this people, a great and mystifying miracle. For wisdom will perish from their wise, and the understanding of their prudent will be concealed.
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?
Woe to you who use the depths of the heart, so that you may hide your intentions from the Lord. Their works are done in darkness, and so they say: “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
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?
This intention of yours is perverse. It is as if the clay were to plan against the potter, or as if the work were to say to its maker: “You did not make me.” Or it is as if what has been formed were to say to the one who formed it, “You do not understand.”
17 Vai nav tikai mazs brīdis vēl, ka Lībanus taps darīts par auglīgu tīrumu, un auglīgais tīrums taps turēts par mežu?
In not more than a little while and a brief time, Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and a fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
18 Un tai dienā kurlie dzirdēs grāmatas vārdus, un aklo acis redzēs no krēslas un tumsas.
And in that day, the deaf will hear the words of a book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind will see.
19 Un bēdīgiem būs atkal prieks iekš Tā Kunga, un nabagi starp cilvēkiem līksmosies iekš Israēla Svētā,
And the meek will increase their rejoicing in the Lord, and the poor among men will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Ka varas darītājam gals klāt, un mēdītājs beigts, un visi izdeldēti, kas uz blēņām domā,
For the one who was prevailing has failed, the one who was mocking has been consumed, and all those who were standing guard over iniquity have been cut down.
21 Kas viena vārda dēļ cilvēku notiesā un liek valgus tam, kas vārtos pārmāca, un taisno nospiež ar viltu.
For they caused men to sin by a word, and they supplanted him who argued against them at the gates, and they turned away from justice in vain.
22 Tādēļ Tas Kungs, kas Ābrahāmu atpestījis, saka uz Jēkaba namu: Jēkabs vairs netaps kaunā, un viņa vaigs vairs nenobālēs.
Because of this, thus says the Lord, he who has redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob: From now on, Jacob will not be confounded; from now on his countenance will not blush with shame.
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.
Instead, when he sees his children, they will be the work of my hands in his midst, sanctifying my name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will preach the God of Israel.
24 Un tie, kam gars alojās, nāks pie saprašanas, un kurnētāji pieņems mācību.
And those who had gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those who had murmured will learn the law.
