Jesajas 41
1 Ciešat Man klusu, salas, un lai tautas ņemas jaunu spēku. Lai tie atnāk, lai nu runā, ejam kopā tiesāties.
Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
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 raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 Ka viņš tiem dzenās pakaļ un neaiztikts iet ceļu, kur viņa kāja nebija gājusi?
He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with 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 it, calling the generations from the beginning? I YHWH, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5 Salas to redzēja un bijājās, zemes gali drebēja; tie atnāca tuvu un piegāja klāt.
The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
6 Viens palīdzēja otram un sacīja uz savu brāli: Esi stiprs!
They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said 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.
So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened 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, -
Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and 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 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy Elohim: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
11 Redzi, kaunā taps un par apsmieklu visi, kas pret tevi iedegās; iznīks un ies bojā tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās.
Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
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 them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
13 Jo Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, satveru tavu labo roku, Es, kas uz tevi saku: Nebīsties, Es tev palīdzu.
For I YHWH thy Elohim will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help 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 Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith YHWH, 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.
Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, 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 YHWH, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
17 Tie bēdīgie un nabagi meklē ūdeni, un nav, viņu mēle kalst no tvīkšanas. Es Tas Kungs tos paklausīšu, Es, Israēla Dievs, tos neatstāšu.
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I YHWH will hear them, I the Elohim 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 high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
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, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, 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 YHWH 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.
Produce your cause, saith YHWH; bring forth your strong reasons, 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 bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for 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, that we may know that ye are elohim: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
24 Redzi, jūs neesat nekas, un jūsu darbs nav it nekas; negantība ir, pēc jums kārot.
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
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 shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth 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 hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none 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 Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
28 Un Es skatos, bet tur nav neviena, un viņu starpā tur nav padoma devēja, ka Es tos vaicātu un tie dotu atbildi.
For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counseller, that, when I asked of them, 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 vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
