Jesajas 37
1 Kad nu ķēniņš Hizkija to dzirdēja, tad viņš saplēsa savas drēbes un apsedzās ar maisu un gāja Tā Kunga namā,
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
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, 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.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
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 the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
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.
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have 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 in him and he will hear news, and will return 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.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Un viņš par Tiraku, Moru ķēniņu, dzirdēja sakām: viņš ir izgājis, ar tevi karot.
He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, 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.
“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t 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, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall 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 delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were 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 Arpad, and the king of the city 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 the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Un Hizkija pielūdza Tā Kunga priekšā un sacīja:
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.
“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, 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.
Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18 Patiesi, Kungs, Asīrijas ķēniņi ir postījuši visas zemes malas ar visām viņu valstīm,
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
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 no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore 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.
Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
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, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against 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 which the LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed 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 defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted 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 your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Es roku un dzeru ūdeni un no manu kāju pēdām paliek sausas visas Ēģiptes upes.
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will 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.
“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them 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 their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
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 come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which 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 shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and 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.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Jo no Jeruzālemes izies atlikuši un atpestīti no Ciānas kalna. To darīs Tā Kunga Cebaot karstums.
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies 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 the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, 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.
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35 Jo Es šo pilsētu paglabāšu un izpestīšu, Sevis labad un Sava kalpa Dāvida labad.
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my 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 the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Tā Sanheribs, Asīrijas ķēniņš, aizgāja un gāja projām un griezās atpakaļ un palika Ninivē.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
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.
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
