Jesajas 37
1 Kad nu ķēniņš Hizkija to dzirdēja, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes un apsedzās ar maisu un gāja Tā Kunga namā,
And it happened that, when king Hezekiah had heard this, he rent his garments, and he wrapped himself in sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
2 Un sūtīja nama uzraugu Elijaķimu un skrīveri Šebnu un tos priesteru vecajus, maisos ģērbušos, pie pravieša Jesajas, Amoca dēla.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet.
3 Un tie uz viņu sacīja: Tā saka Hizkija: Šī diena ir bēdu- un sodības- un kauna- diena; jo bērni nākuši uz dzimšanu, un spēka nav dzemdēt.
And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. For the sons have arrived at the time for birth, but there is not enough strength to bring them forth.
4 Kaut Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, dzirdētu Rabzakus vārdus, ko viņa kungs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, ir sūtījis, zaimot to dzīvo Dievu, un pārmācītu par tiem vārdiem, ko Viņš ir dzirdējis, Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs! Celies tad un lūdz par tiem atlikušiem, kas vēl atrodas.
Perhaps, somehow, the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayers on behalf of the remnant which has been left behind.”
5 Un ķēniņa Hizkijas kalpi nāca pie Jesajas.
And so the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
6 Un Jesaja uz tiem sacīja: tā jums būs sacīt savam kungam: tā saka Tas Kungs: nebīsties par tiem vārdiem, ko tu esi dzirdējis, ar ko Asīrijas ķēniņa sulaiņi Mani zaimojuši.
And Isaiah said to them: “You shall say this to your lord: Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid to face the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians blasphemed me.
7 Redzi, Es tam došu tādu garu, ka tas dzirdēs baumas un ies atpakaļ uz savu zemi, un Es viņam likšu krist caur zobenu viņa zemē.
Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a message, and he will return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.”
8 Tad Rabzakus gāja atpakaļ un atrada Asīrijas ķēniņu pret Libnu karojam, jo viņš bija dzirdējis, ka tas no Laķisa jau bija aizgājis.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had set out from Lachish.
9 Un viņš par Tiraku, Moru ķēniņu, dzirdēja sakām: viņš ir izgājis, ar tevi karot.
And he heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia: “He has gone forth so that he may fight against you.” And when he had heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
10 Kad viņš to dzirdēja, tad viņš atkal sūtīja vēstnešus pie Hizkijas un sacīja: tā runājiet uz Hizkiju, Jūda ķēniņu, un sakāt: lai tevi nepieviļ tavs Dievs, uz ko tu paļaujies sacīdams: Jeruzāleme netaps dota Asīrijas ķēniņa rokā.
“You shall say this to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, saying: Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying: ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Redzi, tu esi dzirdējis, ko Asīrijas ķēniņi darījuši visām zemēm, tās izdeldēdami; un tu domā izglābties?
Behold, you have heard about all that the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands that they have conquered, and so, how can you be delivered?
12 Vai pagānu dievi tos glābuši, ko mani tēvi postījuši, Gozanu un Haranu un Recevu un Edeņa bērnus, kas bija Telasarā.
Have the gods of the nations rescued those whom my fathers have conquered: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were at Telassar?
13 Kur ir Hamatas ķēniņš un Arpadas ķēniņš un Sefarvaimas pilsētas, Enas un Ivas ķēniņš?
Where is the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad, or the king of the city of Sepharvaim, or of Hena and Ivvah?”
14 Kad nu Hizkija bija dabūjis tās grāmatas no vēstneša rokas un tās izlasījis, tad viņš gāja Tā Kunga namā, un Hizkija tās atpleta Tā Kunga priekšā.
And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it out in the sight of the Lord.
15 Un Hizkija pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja:
And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying:
16 Ak Kungs Cebaot, Tu Israēla Dievs, kas sēž pār ķerubiem, Tu viens pats esi Dievs pār visām zemes valstīm, Tu esi radījis debesis un zemi.
“O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel who sits upon the Cherubim: you alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 Atgriez, ak Kungs, Savas ausis un klausies, atveri, ak Kungs, Savas acis un redzi, un dzirdi visus Sanheriba vārdus, ko viņš sūtījis, zaimot to dzīvo Dievu.
O Lord, incline your ear and listen. O Lord, open your eyes and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to blaspheme the living God.
18 Patiesi, Kungs, Asīrijas ķēniņi ir postījuši visas zemes malas ar visām viņu valstīm,
For truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste to countries and territories.
19 Un viņu dievus metuši ugunī, jo tie nebija dievi, bet cilvēku roku darbs, koks un akmens, tāpēc tie tos ir postījuši.
And they have cast their gods into the fire. For these were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and of stone. And they broke them into pieces.
20 Nu tad, ak Kungs, mūsu Dievs, izglāb mūs jel no viņa rokas, lai visas valstis virs zemes atzīst, ka Tu vien esi Tas Kungs.
And now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand. And let all the kingdoms of the earth acknowledge that you alone are Lord.”
21 Tad Jesaja, Amoca dēls, sūtīja pie Hizkijas un lika sacīt: Tā saka Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs: par ko tu Mani esi pielūdzis pret Sanheribu, Asīrijas ķēniņu, -
And Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because of what you have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians,
22 Šis ir tas vārds, ko Tas Kungs pret viņu runājis: tevi nievā, tevi apsmej jaunava Ciānas meita, aiz tevis galvu krata Jeruzālemes meita.
this is the word that the Lord has spoken over him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and mocked you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Ko tu esi apsmējis un zaimojis, un pret ko tu esi pacēlis balsi un augsti uzcēlis savas acis? Pret To Svēto iekš Israēla.
Whom have you insulted? And whom have you blasphemed? And against whom have you lifted up your voice and raised up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 Caur saviem kalpiem tu To Kungu esi apmēdījis un sacījis: ar savu ratu pulku es uzkāpju kalnu galos, Lībanus virsgalā, un izcērtu viņa augstos ciedru kokus un izlasītās priedes, un tieku līdz pat viņa galam, viņa kuplākam mežam.
By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord. And you have said: ‘With a multitude of my four-horse chariots, I have ascended the heights of the mountains adjoining Lebanon. And I will cut down its lofty cedars and its choice pine trees. And I will reach the top of its summit, to the forest of its Carmel.
25 Es roku un dzeru ūdeni un no manu kāju pēdām paliek sausas visas Ēģiptes upes.
I dug deep, and I drank water, and I dried up all the river banks with the sole of my foot.’
26 Vai tu neesi dzirdējis, ka Es jau sen iepriekš to esmu sataisījis, jau vecos laikos to esmu apņēmies. Un tagad Es tam esmu licis notikt, ka tu izposti stipras pilsētas un dari par akmeņu kopām.
Have you not heard what I have done to it in past times? In ancient times, I formed it. And now I have brought it forth. And it has been made so that the hills and the fortified cities would fight together, unto its destruction.
27 Tāpēc viņu iedzīvotājiem nogura rokas, un tie iztrūcinājās un tapa kaunā, un tie bija ka zāle laukā un kā uzzēlis zaļums, tā kā zāle uz jumtiem, kā rūsaina labība, pirms nāk stiebros.
Their inhabitants had unsteady hands. They trembled and were confused. They became like the plants of the field, and the grass of the pastures, and like the weeds on the rooftops, which wither before they are mature.
28 Bet Es zinu tavu sēdēšanu un tavu iziešanu un tavu ieiešanu un tavu trakošanu pret Mani.
I know your habitation, and your arrival, and your departure, and your madness against me.
29 Tavas trakošanas dēļ pret Mani un tavas pārgalvības pēc, kas nākusi Manās ausīs, Es Savu kāsi likšu tavās nāsīs un Savus laužņus tavā mutē, un Es tev likšu griezties atpakaļ pa to ceļu, kur tu esi nācis.
When you became angry against me, your arrogance rose up to my ears. Therefore, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will turn you back on the road by which you arrived.
30 Un tas tev būs par zīmi: šai gadā ēdīs papuvē augušu un otrā gadā ataugu, bet trešā gadā sējat un pļaujat un stādāt vīna dārzus un ēdat viņu augļus.
But this shall be a sign for you: Eat, in this year, whatever springs up on its own. And in the second year, eat fruits. But in the third year, sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Un kas no Jūda nama ir izglābts un atlicis, sakņos atkal zemjup un nesīs augļus augšup.
And what will be saved from the house of Judah, and what is left behind, will form deep roots, and will bear high fruits.
32 Jo no Jeruzālemes izies atlikuši un atpestīti no Ciānas kalna. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
For from Jerusalem, a remnant shall go forth, and salvation from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
33 Tādēļ tā saka Tas Kungs par Asīrijas ķēniņu: viņš šai pilsētā nenāks un tanī neiešaus nevienu bultu un nepacels pret to priekšturamās bruņas un neuzmetīs pret to valni.
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He will not enter this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with a shield, nor dig a rampart all around it.
34 Pa to pašu ceļu, kur viņš nācis, viņam būs griezties atpakaļ, bet šai pilsētā viņš nenāks, saka Tas Kungs.
He will return on the road by which he arrived. And into this city, he will not enter, says the Lord.
35 Jo Es šo pilsētu paglabāšu un izpestīšu, Sevis labad un Sava kalpa Dāvida labad.
And I will protect this city, so that I may save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David, my servant.”
36 Tad Tā Kunga eņģelis izgāja un nokāva Asiriešu lēģerī simts astoņdesmit piecus tūkstošus. Un kad no rīta agri cēlās, redzi, tad tur viss bija pilns miroņu.
Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold, all these were dead bodies.
37 Tā Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, aizgāja un gāja projām un griezās atpakaļ un palika Ninivē.
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, departed and went away. And he returned and lived at Nineveh.
38 Un kad viņš pielūdza Nizroka, sava dieva, namā, tad Adrameleķs un Sarecers, viņa dēli, to nokāva ar zobenu un aizbēga uz Ararat zemi. Un viņa dēls Asaradons palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā.
And it happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
