< Jesajas 37 >
1 Kad nu ķēniņš Hizkija to dzirdēja, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes un apsedzās ar maisu un gāja Tā Kunga namā,
And when the king, Hezekiah, heard it, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
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 palace, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
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 saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of contempt; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring 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.
It may be that Jehovah, thy God, will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, hath sent to reproach the living God, and to revile him with the words which Jehovah, thy God, hath heard. Do thou, therefore, lift up thy prayer for the remnant of the people, that is yet left.
5 Un ķēniņa Hizkijas kalpi nāca pie Jesajas.
And the servants of King Hezekiah came 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, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid on account of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have 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 put a spirit within him, so that he shall hear a rumor, and 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 found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Un viņš par Tiraku, Moru ķēniņu, dzirdēja sakām: viņš ir izgājis, ar tevi karot.
Then he heard concerning Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that it was said, “He is come forth to war against thee.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah and said,
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.
Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Redzi, tu esi dzirdējis, ko Asīrijas ķēniņi darījuši visām zemēm, tās izdeldēdami; un tu domā izglābties?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands; how they have utterly destroyed them. And shalt thou be delivered?
12 Vai pagānu dievi tos glābuši, ko mani tēvi postījuši, Gozanu un Haranu un Recevu un Edeņa bērnus, kas bija Telasarā.
Did the gods of the nations which my father destroyed, deliver them? Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden in 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 Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Henah, and of Ivah?
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 received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then he went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Un Hizkija pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja:
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, 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 Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest between the cherubs, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast 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.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 Patiesi, Kungs, Asīrijas ķēniņi ir postījuši visas zemes malas ar visām viņu valstīm,
In truth, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations, and their lands,
19 Un viņu dievus metuši ugunī, jo tie nebija dievi, bet cilvēku roku darbs, koks un akmens, tāpēc tie tos ir postījuši.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
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.
But do thou, O Jehovah, our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou alone art Jehovah.
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, -
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to me on account of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,
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 which Jehovah hath spoken against him. The virgin, the daughter of Zion, despiseth thee; she laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head after thee.
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 hast thou reproached, and reviled, And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, And lifted up thine 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 thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and said: “With the multitude of my chariots have I ascended the heights of the mountains, the extremities of Lebanon; I have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice cypress-trees; I have come to its utmost height, to its garden forest.
25 Es roku un dzeru ūdeni un no manu kāju pēdām paliek sausas visas Ēģiptes upes.
I have digged and drunk water, And with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
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.
Hast thou not heard, that of old I ordained it, And from ancient times purposed it? Now have I brought it to pass, That thou shouldst convert fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
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.
Therefore were their inhabitants of little strength; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field, and the green herb; As grass upon the house-top, and as corn blasted, before it is grown up.
28 Bet Es zinu tavu sēdēšanu un tavu iziešanu un tavu ieiešanu un tavu trakošanu pret Mani.
I know thy sitting down, thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy rage 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.
Because thy rage against me, and thy insolence, is come up into my ears, I will put my ring into thy nose, And my bridle into thy lips, And turn thee back by the way in which thou camest.
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.
And this shall be the sign to thee; Eat this year that which groweth of itself, And in the second year that which groweth of itself, And in the third year ye shall sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Un kas no Jūda nama ir izglābts un atlicis, sakņos atkal zemjup un nesīs augļus augšup.
And the remnant of the house of Judah, that have escaped, Shall again strike root downward, And bear fruit upward.
32 Jo no Jeruzālemes izies atlikuši un atpestīti no Ciānas kalna. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And they that have escaped from mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform 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.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the king of Assyria; He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow into it; He shall not present a shield before it, Nor cast up a mound against it.
34 Pa to pašu ceļu, kur viņš nācis, viņam būs griezties atpakaļ, bet šai pilsētā viņš nenāks, saka Tas Kungs.
By the way in which he came, by the same shall he return, And into this city shall he not come, saith Jehovah.
35 Jo Es šo pilsētu paglabāšu un izpestīšu, Sevis labad un Sava kalpa Dāvida labad.
For I will defend this city, and deliver it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
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 an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses.
37 Tā Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, aizgāja un gāja projām un griezās atpakaļ un palika Ninivē.
Then Sennacherib, king of Assyria, decamped, and went away, and returned, and dwelt 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 as he was worshipping in the temple of Nisroch, his god, he was slain with the sword by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his stead.
