Jesajas 41
1 Ciešat Man klusu, salas, un lai tautas ņemas jaunu spēku. Lai tie atnāk, lai nu runā, ejam kopā tiesāties.
"Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let's meet together for 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 has raised up one from the east? Whom he called to his foot in righteousness? He hands over nations to him, and makes him rule over kings. He gives them like the dust to his sword, like the driven stubble to his bow.
3 Ka viņš tiem dzenās pakaļ un neaiztikts iet ceļu, kur viņa kāja nebija gājusi?
He pursues them, and passes by safely, Even by a 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 has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, 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 coastlands have seen, and fear. The farthest parts of the earth tremble. They approach, and come.
6 Viens palīdzēja otram un sacīja uz savu brāli: Esi stiprs!
Everyone helps his neighbor. They say to their brothers, "Be strong."
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 encourages the goldsmith. He who smoothes with the hammer encourages him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, "It is good;" and he fastens it with nails, that it might not totter.
8 Bet tu, Israēl, Mans kalps, Jēkab, ko Es esmu izredzējis, Ābrahāma, Mana mīļā, dzimums,
"But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring 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, -
you whom I have taken hold of from places far away on the earth, and summoned from its border, and said to you, 'You are my servant, I have chosen you and not rejected you.'
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.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you 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.
Look, all those who are incensed against you will be disappointed and confounded. Those who strive with you will be like nothing, and shall perish.
12 Tu tos meklēsi, bet tos neatradīsi; tie ļaudis, kas ar tevi strīdās, iznīks, un kas ar tevi karo, taps par nieku.
You will seek them, and won't find them, even those who contend with you. Those who war against you will be as nothing, as a non-existent thing.
13 Jo Es Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, satveru tavu labo roku, Es, kas uz tevi saku: Nebīsties, Es tev palīdzu.
For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, 'Do not be afraid. I will help you.'
14 Nebīsties, tārpiņ Jēkab, Israēla pulciņ; Es tev palīdzu, saka Tas Kungs, un tavs Pestītājs ir Tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel. I will help you," says the LORD, "and your Redeemer is 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.
Look, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument with teeth. You will thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and will make the hills like 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.
You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in the LORD. You will 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.
The poor and needy seek water, and there is none. Their tongue fails for thirst. I, the LORD, will answer 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 on the bare heights, and springs 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 put cedar, acacia, myrtle, and oil trees in the wilderness. I will set fir trees, pine, and box trees together in the desert;
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, know, consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has 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," says the LORD. "Bring forth your strong reasons," says 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 near and declare to us what shall happen. Declare the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or show us things 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.
Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and see it together.
24 Redzi, jūs neesat nekas, un jūsu darbs nav it nekas; negantība ir, pēc jums kārot.
Look, you are of nothing, and your work is of nothing. He who chooses 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 has come; from the rising of the sun, one who calls on my name; and he shall come on rulers as on mortar, and as the potter treads 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 has declared it from the beginning, that we may know? And before, that we may say, 'He is right?' Surely, there is no one who declares. Surely, there is no one who shows. Surely, there is no one who hears your words.
27 Es tas pirmais saku uz Ciānu: Redzi, te tas ir! - un uz Jeruzālemi: Es došu prieka vēstnesi.
I am the first to say to Zion, 'Look, look at them;' and I will give one who brings good news to Jerusalem.
28 Un Es skatos, bet tur nav neviena, un viņu starpā tur nav padoma devēja, ka Es tos vaicātu un tie dotu atbildi.
When I look, there is no man; even among them there is no counselor who, when I ask of them, can answer a word.
29 Redzi, tie visi nav nekas, viņu darbi nav it nekas, viņu lietās bildes ir tukšs vējš.
Look, all of them, their works are vanity and nothing. Their molten images are wind and confusion.
