Jesajas 37
1 Kad nu ķēniņš Hizkija to dzirdēja, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes un apsedzās ar maisu un gāja Tā Kunga namā,
It came about that when King Hezekiah heard their report, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yahweh.
2 Un sūtīja nama uzraugu Elijaķimu un skrīveri Šebnu un tos priesteru vecajus, maisos ģērbušos, pie pravieša Jesajas, Amoca dēla.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, all covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah 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.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, 'This day is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace, like when a child is ready to be born, but the mother has no strength to give birth to her child.
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 Yahweh your God will hear the words of the chief commander, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Now lift up your prayer for the remnant that is still here.'”
5 Un ķēniņa Hizkijas kalpi nāca pie Jesajas.
So 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, “Say to your master: 'Yahweh says, “Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have insulted 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.
Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear a certain report and go back to his own land. 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 the chief commander returned and found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he had heard that the king had gone away from Lachish.
9 Un viņš par Tiraku, Moru ķēniņu, dzirdēja sakām: viņš ir izgājis, ar tevi karot.
Then Sennacherib heard that Tirhakah king of Cush and Egypt had mobilized to fight against him, so he sent messengers again to Hezekiah with a message:
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.
“Say to Hezekiah, king of Judah, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem will 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?
See, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them completely. So will you be rescued?
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 them, the nations that my fathers destroyed: Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden in Tel Assar?
13 Kur ir Hamatas ķēniņš un Arpadas ķēniņš un Sefarvaimas pilsētas, Enas un Ivas ķēniņš?
Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the cities of Sepharvaim, 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.
Hezekiah received this letter from hand of the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the house of Yahweh and spread it before him.
15 Un Hizkija pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja:
Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh:
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.
“Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, you who sit above the cherubim, you are God alone over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the 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.
Turn your ear, Yahweh, and listen. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see, and hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to mock the living God.
18 Patiesi, Kungs, Asīrijas ķēniņi ir postījuši visas zemes malas ar visām viņu valstīm,
It is true, Yahweh, 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.
They have put their gods into the fire, for they were not gods but the work of men's hands, just wood and stone. So the Assyrians 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.
So now, Yahweh our God, save us from his power, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh alone.”
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 son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says, 'Because you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib 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 that Yahweh has spoken about him: “The virgin daughter of Zion despises you and laughs you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes 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 defied and insulted? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes in pride? 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 your servants you have defied the Lord and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the heights of the mountains, to the highest elevations of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and choice cypress trees there, and I will enter into its farthest high places, its most fruitful forest.
25 Es roku un dzeru ūdeni un no manu kāju pēdām paliek sausas visas Ēģiptes upes.
I have dug wells and drunk water; I dried up all the rivers of Egypt under the soles of my feet.'
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 how I determined it long ago and worked it out in ancient times? Now I am bringing it to pass. You are here to reduce impregnable cities into heaps of ruins.
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, of little strength, are shattered and ashamed. They are plants in the field, green grass, the grass on the roof or in the field, before the east wind.
28 Bet Es zinu tavu sēdēšanu un tavu iziešanu un tavu ieiešanu un tavu trakošanu pret Mani.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging 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 of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has reached my ears, I will put my hook in your nose, and my bit in your mouth; I will turn you back the way you came.”
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.
This will be the sign for you: This year you will eat what grows wild, and in the second year what grows from that. But in the third year you must plant and harvest, plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
31 Un kas no Jūda nama ir izglābts un atlicis, sakņos atkal zemjup un nesīs augļus augšup.
The remnant of the house of Judah that survives will again take root and bear fruit.
32 Jo no Jeruzālemes izies atlikuši un atpestīti no Ciānas kalna. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
For from Jerusalem a remnant will come out; from Mount Zion survivors will come. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do 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 Yahweh says this about the king of Assyria: “He will not come into this city and he will not shoot an arrow here. He will not come before it with shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
34 Pa to pašu ceļu, kur viņš nācis, viņam būs griezties atpakaļ, bet šai pilsētā viņš nenāks, saka Tas Kungs.
The way by which he came will be the same way he will leave; he will not enter this city—this is Yahweh's declaration.
35 Jo Es šo pilsētu paglabāšu un izpestīšu, Sevis labad un Sava kalpa Dāvida labad.
For I will defend this city and rescue it, for my own sake and for David my servant'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 the angel of Yahweh went out and attacked the camp of the Assyrians, putting to death 185,000 soldiers. When the men arose early in the morning, dead bodies lay everywhere.
37 Tā Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, aizgāja un gāja projām un griezās atpakaļ un palika Ninivē.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria left Israel and went home and stayed in 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.
Later, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisrok his god, his sons Adrammelek and Sharezer killed him with the sword. Then they escaped into the land of Ararat. Then Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
