Jesajas 41
1 Ciešat Man klusu, salas, un lai tautas ņemas jaunu spēku. Lai tie atnāk, lai nu runā, ejam kopā tiesāties.
Let the islands keep silence before me, and the nations take new strength: let them come near, and then speak, let us come near to judgment together.
2 Kas no austruma puses to uzmodinājis, kam taisnība iet līdz, kur viņš staigā? Kas tautas viņa priekšā ir nodevis un darījis, ka viņš valda pār ķēniņiem, un tos devis viņa zobenam kā pīšļus un viņa stopam kā izkaisītas pelavas,
Who hath raised up the just one from the east, hath called him to follow him? he shall give the nations in his sight, and he shall rule over kings: he shall give them as the dust to his sword, as stubble driven by the wind, to his bow.
3 Ka viņš tiem dzenās pakaļ un neaiztikts iet ceļu, kur viņa kāja nebija gājusi?
He shall pursue them, he shall pass in peace, no path shall appear after his feet.
4 Kas to ir darījis un pastrādājis? Tas, kas cilvēku ciltis aicinājis no iesākuma. Es Tas Kungs esmu tas pirmais un pie tiem pēcnākamiem Es vēl esmu tas pats.
Who hath wrought and done these things, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, I am the first and the last.
5 Salas to redzēja un bijājās, zemes gali drebēja; tie atnāca tuvu un piegāja klāt.
The islands saw it, and feared, the ends of the earth were astonished, they drew near, and came.
6 Viens palīdzēja otram un sacīja uz savu brāli: Esi stiprs!
Every one shall help his neighbour, and shall say to his brother: Be of good courage.
7 Un kalējs drošināja sudrabkali, kas ar veseri gludina to, kas sit uz laktu, un sacīja par to taisīto darbu: Tas būs labs; pēc viņš to stiprināja ar naglām, lai nekust.
The coppersmith striking with the hammer encouraged him that forged at that time, saying: It is ready for soldering: and he strengthened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
8 Bet tu, Israēl, Mans kalps, Jēkab, ko Es esmu izredzējis, Ābrahāma, Mana mīļā, dzimums,
But thou Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend:
9 Tu, ko Es esmu sagrābis no pasaules galiem un esmu aicinājis no viņas malām, un uz ko Es sacījis: Tu esi Mans kalps, tevi Es esmu izredzējis un tevi neesmu atmetis, -
In whom I have taken thee from the ends of the earth, and from the remote parts thereof have called thee, and said to thee: Thou art my servant, I have chosen thee, and have not cast thee away.
10 Nebīsties, jo Es esmu ar tevi, neatkāpies, jo Es esmu tavs Dievs; Es tevi stiprināju, Es tev arī palīdzu, Es tevi arī turu ar Savas taisnības labo roku.
Fear not, for I am with thee: turn not aside, for I am thy God: I have strengthened thee, and have helped thee, and the right hand of my just one hath upheld thee.
11 Redzi, kaunā taps un par apsmieklu visi, kas pret tevi iedegās; iznīks un ies bojā tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās.
Behold all that fight against thee shall be confounded and ashamed, they shall be as nothing, and the men shall perish that strive against thee.
12 Tu tos meklēsi, bet tos neatradīsi; tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās, iznīks, un kas ar tevi karo, taps par nieku.
Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find the men that resist thee: they shall be as nothing: and as a thing consumed the men that war against thee.
13 Jo Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, satveru tavu labo roku, Es, kas uz tevi saku: Nebīsties, Es tev palīdzu.
For I am the Lord thy God, who take thee by the hand, and say to thee: Fear not, I have helped thee.
14 Nebīsties, tārpiņ Jēkab, Israēla pulciņ; Es tev palīdzu, saka Tas Kungs, un tavs Pestītājs ir Tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
Fear not, thou worm of Jacob, you that are dead of Israel: I have helped thee, saith the Lord: and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel.
15 Redzi, Es tevi daru par asiem jauniem kuļamiem ratiem, kam asas naglas, tu kalnus sakulsi un satrieksi un darīsi pakalnus par pelavām.
I have made thee as a new thrashing wain, with teeth like a saw: thou shall thrash the mountains, and break them in pieces: and shalt make the hills as chaff.
16 Tu tos vētīsi, ka vējš tos aiznes un viesulis tos izkaisa. Bet tu priecāsies iekš Tā Kunga un lielīsies iekš Israēla svētā Dieva.
Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, in the Holy One of Israel thou shalt be joyful.
17 Tie bēdīgie un nabagi meklē ūdeni, un nav, viņu mēle kalst no tvīkšanas. Es Tas Kungs tos paklausīšu, Es, Israēla Dievs, tos neatstāšu.
The needy and the poor seek for waters, and there are none: their tongue hath been dry with thirst. I the Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
18 Es upes izlaidīšu no plikiem kalniem un avotus pašās ielejās; Es tuksnesi darīšu par ūdens ezeru un sausu zemi par ūdens avotiem.
I will open rivers in the high bills, and fountains in the midst of the plains: I will turn the desert into pools of waters, and the impassable land into streams of waters.
19 Es tuksnesī stādīšu ciedrus, akācijas un mirtes un eļļas kokus; Es sausā klajumā stādīšu priedes, egles un buksu kokus kopā.
I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, and the thorn, and the myrtle, and the olive tree: I will set in the desert the fir tree, the elm, and the box tree together:
20 Lai tie redz un atzīst, apdomā un visi kopā saprot, ka Tā Kunga roka to ir darījusi, un tas Svētais iekš Israēla to ir radījis.
That they may see and know, and consider, and understand together that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
21 Nesiet šurp savas tiesas lietas, saka Tas Kungs, atnesiet, ar ko jūs savu taisnību varat pierādīt, saka Jēkaba ķēniņš.
Bring your cause near, saith the Lord: bring hither, if you have any thing to allege, saith the King of Jacob.
22 Lai nāk un mums sludina tās lietas, kas vēl notiks. Stāstiet tās pirmās lietas, kas ir bijušas, ka mēs tās savā sirdī ievērojam un zinām viņu galu, vai sludinājiet mums tās nākamās lietas.
Let them come, and tell us all things that are to come: tell us the former things what they were: and we will set our heart upon them, and shall know the latter end of them, and tell us the things that are to come.
23 Stāstiet tās zīmes, kas vēl būs, ka atzīstam, jūs esam dievus. Un dariet ko darīdami, vai labu, vai ļaunu, tad saskatīsimies un to kopā redzēsim.
Shew the things that are to come hereafter, and we shall know that ye are gods. Do ye also good or evil, if you can: and let us speak, and see together.
24 Redzi, jūs neesat nekas, un jūsu darbs nav it nekas; negantība ir, pēc jums kārot.
Behold, you are of nothing, and your work of that which hath no being: he that hath chosen you is an abomination.
25 Es to pamodināju no ziemeļa puses, un viņš nāk no saules lēkšanas, kas piesauc Manu vārdu; viņš ies pār valdniekiem kā pār dubļiem, un kā podnieks min mālus.
I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come from the rising of the sun: he shall call upon my name, and he shall make princes to be as dirt, and as the potter treading clay.
26 Kas to stāstījis no iesākuma, ka mēs to zinātu, jeb pagājušos laikos, ka mēs sacītu: Taisnība? Bet neviena nav, kas to stāstījis, un neviena, kas ko labu sludinājis, un neviena, kas no jums būtu dzirdējis vārdus.
Who bath declared from the beginning, that we may know: and from time of old, that we may say: Thou art just. There is none that sheweth, nor that foretelleth, nor that heareth your words.
27 Es tas pirmais saku uz Ciānu: Redzi, te tas ir! - un uz Jeruzālemi: Es došu prieka vēstnesi.
The first shall say to Sion: Behold they are here, and to Jerusalem I will give an evangelist.
28 Un Es skatos, bet tur nav neviena, un viņu starpā tur nav padoma devēja, ka Es tos vaicātu un tie dotu atbildi.
And I saw, and there was no one even among them to consult, or who, when I asked, could answer a word.
29 Redzi, tie visi nav nekas, viņu darbi nav it nekas, viņu lietās bildes ir tukšs vējš.
Behold they are all in the wrong, and their works are vain: their idols are wind and vanity.
