Jesajas 33
1 Ak vai, tev, postītāj, kas pats neesi postīts, un laupītāj, kas neesi aplaupīts; kad būsi beidzis postīt, pats tapsi postīts, kad būsi beidzis laupīt, tad tevi aplaupīs.
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Assyria]! You have destroyed [others], [but] you have not been destroyed [yet]. You have betrayed/deceived [others], [but] you have not been betrayed/deceived [yet]. When you stop destroying [others], others will destroy you. When you stop betraying/deceiving others, [others] betray you.
2 Kungs, esi mums žēlīgs, uz Tevi mēs gaidām; esi viņu elkonis ikkatru rītu, un mūsu pestīšana bēdu laikā.
Yahweh, be kind to us, because we have patiently waited for you [to help us]. Enable us to be strong every day, and rescue us when we have troubles.
3 Tautas bēg no trokšņa rībēšanas, pagāni izklīst, kad tu celies.
Our enemies run away when they hear your voice. When you stand up and show that you are powerful [IDM], the people of all nations flee.
4 Jūsu laupījumu sagrābj, tā kā vaboles lauku noēd, tā kā siseņi skraida, tā tur skraida.
[And after our enemies have been defeated], we, your people, will take away all our enemies’ possessions like [SIM] caterpillars and locusts strip off all the leaves of plants.
5 Tas Kungs ir paaugstināts, jo viņš dzīvo augstībā, viņš Ciānu piepildījis ar tiesu un taisnību.
Yahweh is greater than anyone else, and he lives in heaven, and he will rule justly and righteously in Jerusalem.
6 Un tavā laikā būs ticība, pestīšanas bagātība, gudrība un atzīšana, Tā Kunga bijāšana būs Viņa manta.
[When that happens], he will enable you to live securely/safely; he will fully protect your possessions, he will enable you to be wise and to know [all that you need to know]; and revering Yahweh will be [like] [MET] a valuable treasure for you.
7 Redzi, viņu varenie ārā brēc, tie miera vēstneši gauži raud.
[But now], look, our brave men are crying out in the streets; our ambassadors [have gone to other countries to make peace treaties], [but they will] cry bitterly [because they will not succeed].
8 Lielceļi ir tukši, un tur nav ceļa gājēju, Viņš lauž derību, Viņš atmet pilsētas un nebēdā par cilvēkiem.
No one travels on our roads [DOU]. [The leaders of Assyria] have broken/disregarded their peace treaty [with us]; they despise the people who made those treaties, and they do not respect anyone.
9 Zeme vaid un tvīkst, Lībanus kaunās un kalst, Šarona ieleja palikusi kā tuksnesis, Basans un Karmels birdina savas lapas.
The land [of Judah] is dry and barren. The [cedar trees in] Lebanon are drying up and decaying. The Sharon [Plain along the coast] is now a desert. There are no more leaves on the trees in the Bashan and Carmel [areas].
10 Nu Es celšos, saka Tas Kungs, nu Es paaugstināšos, nu Es parādīšos liels.
Yahweh says, “Now I will begin to show that I am very powerful [DOU].
11 Jūs nesaties ar salmiem, rugājus jūs dzemdēsiet; jūsu trakums ir uguns, kas pašus aprīs.
You [people of Assyria] make plans that are [as useless as] [MET] chaff and straw. Your breath will become a fire that will burn you up.
12 Tautas taps dedzinātas kā kaļķi, ar uguni taps sadedzināti, kā nocirsti ērkšķi.
[Your] people will be burned until only ashes remain [MET] like [SIM] thornbushes are cut down and burned up in a fire.
13 Klausiet jūs, kas esat tālu, ko Es esmu darījis, un kad esat tuvu, atzīstiet Manu varu.
You people who live far away and you people who live nearby, pay attention to what I have done and realize that I am [very] powerful.”
14 Grēcinieki Ciānā ir izbijušies, drebēšana uzkrīt bezdievīgiem, (tie saka): kurš no mums var dzīvot rijošā ugunī? Kurš no mums var palikt mūžīgās liesmās?
The sinners in Jerusalem will tremble because of being very afraid; godless people will be terrified. [They say], “None of us can [RHQ] remain alive because this fire is burning everything; it is like the fire on Yahweh’s altar that will burn forever!”
15 Kas taisnībā staigā un runā patiesību, kas netaisnu peļņu ienīst, kas savas rokas sargā no dāvanu ņemšanas, kas savas ausis aizbāž, neklausīties uz asins padomu, kas savas acis aizdara, nelūkot uz ļaunu, -
Those who act honestly and say what is right, those who do not try to become rich by (extortion/forcing people to give them money), those who do not try to get bribes, those who refuse to listen to people who are planning to murder someone, those who do not join others who urge them to do what is wrong,
16 Tas dzīvos augstībā, kalnu stiprumi viņam būs par patvērumu; viņam būs sava maize, ūdens viņam nepietrūks.
they are the people who will live safely [MTY]; they will find places to be safe in the caves in the mountains. They will have plenty of food and water.
17 Tavas acis redzēs ķēniņu viņa skaistumā. Tās redzēs plašu zemi.
You [SYN] [people of Judah] will see the king wearing all his beautiful [robes], and you will see that he rules a land that extends far away.
18 Tava sirds pieminēs to bailību un sacīs: Kur ir tas rakstītājs, kur ir tas svērējs, kur ir tas torņu uzzīmētājs
When you see that, you will think about when you were previously terrified, [and you will say], “[The officers of Assyria] who counted the tax money that we were forced to pay to them [have disappeared] [RHQ]! Those men who counted our towers [are gone] [RHQ]!
19 To briesmīgo tautu tu vairs neredzēsi, tos ļaudis, kam sveša mēle, ka nevar izprast, kas valodā stostās, ka nevar saprast.
Those arrogant people who spoke a language that we could not understand are no longer here!”
20 Redzi Ciānu, mūsu saiešanas pilsētu! Tavas acis redzēs Jeruzālemi, drošu dzīvokli, telti, kas netop aizvesta, kam vadži netop izvilkti ne mūžam, un kam virves netop saraustītas.
[At that time], you will see Zion Hill, the place where we celebrate our festivals; you will see that Jerusalem has become a place that is calm and safe. It will be [secure], [like] [SIM] a tent [that cannot be moved because] its ropes are tight and its stakes are firmly in the ground.
21 Jo Tas Kungs būs tur pie mums, tas augsti teicamais; tā būs vieta, kur upes un plati strauti, ka laiva ar airiem tur neies, un liela laiva tur necelsies pāri.
Yahweh will be our mighty God; he will be [like] [SIM] a mighty river that will protect us because [our enemies] will not be able to cross it; no one will be able to row across it and no ships will be able to sail across it.
22 Jo Tas Kungs ir mūsu tiesātājs, Tas Kungs ir mūsu bauslības devējs, Tas Kungs ir mūsu ķēniņš, Viņš mūs atpestīs.
Yahweh is our judge; he is the one who gives us laws, and he is our king. He will rescue us.
23 Tavas virves būs vaļējas, tās masta koku stingri neturēs, arī karogs nebūs izplests, - tad taps daudz laupījuma izdalīts, kā arī tizlie laupīs laupījumu.
The ropes on our enemies’ boats will hang loose, their masts will not be fastened firmly, and their sails will not be spread out. The treasures that they have seized will be divided [among us, God’s people], and even lame [people among us] will get some.
24 Un neviens iedzīvotājs nesacīs: es esmu vājš; jo tiem ļaudīm, kas tur dzīvo, grēki būs piedoti.
And the people in Jerusalem will no [longer] say, “We are sick,” [because Yahweh] will forgive the sins that have been committed by the people who live there.
