< Jesajas 42 >
1 Redzi, Tas ir Mans kalps, kam Es palīdzu, Manis izredzēts, pie kā Manai dvēselei labs prāts. Es savu Garu esmu licis uz Viņu, tautām iznest tiesu.
Behold, my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights. I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.
2 Viņš nebrēks nedz pacels Savu balsi, un Viņa balsi nedzirdēs pa ielām.
He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 Ielūzušu niedri Viņš nesalauzīs un kvēlošu dakti Viņš neizdzēsīs, Viņš tiesu nesīs ar patiesību.
A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench, but he will bring forth justice in truth.
4 Viņš nenogurs un nesalūzīs, kamēr iecels tiesu virs zemes, un jūras salas cerēs uz Viņa bauslību.
He will not fail nor be discouraged till he has set justice in the earth. And in his name Gentiles will hope.
5 Tā saka Dievs, Tas Kungs, kas debesis radījis un izplāta, kas zemi izklājis ar viņas augļiem, kas dvašu dod tiem ļaudīm, kas tur mīt, un garu tiem, kas virs tās staigā.
Thus says God, Jehovah, he who created the heavens, and stretched them forth, he who spread abroad the earth and that which comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people upon it, and spirit to those who walk in it,
6 “Es Tas Kungs Tevi esmu aicinājis iekš taisnības un Tevi satveru pie Tavas rokas un Tevi pasargāju un Tevi ieceļu par derību ļaudīm, par gaišumu pagāniem,
I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,
7 Atvērt akliem acis un saistītos izvest no cietuma un no cietuma nama tos, kas sēž tumsībā.
to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and those who sit in darkness out of the prison-house.
8 Es esmu Tas Kungs, tas ir Mans vārds, un Savu godu Es citam nedošu, nedz Savu slavu elkiem.
I am Jehovah. That is my name, and I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven images.
9 Redzi, kas papriekš sludināts, tas ir noticis, un jaunu Es stāstu; pirms tas izplaukst, Es jums to dodu dzirdēt.”
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and I declare new things. Before they spring forth I tell you of them.
10 Dziediet Tam Kungam jaunu dziesmu, Viņa slavu no zemes galiem; jūras braucēji ar viņas pilnumu, salas ar saviem iedzīvotājiem.
Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Tuksnesis un viņa pilsētas lai paceļ balsi, un ciemi, kur Ķedars dzīvo; lai gavilē, kas dzīvo klints kalnos, lai tie sauc no kalnu galiem.
Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing. Let them shout from the top of the mountains.
12 Lai Tam Kungam dod godu un lai pasludina Viņa slavu salās.
Let them give glory to Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.
13 Tas Kungs iziet kā varonis, kā karavīrs Viņš iekarsis dusmās; Viņš sauc, Viņš kliedz, Saviem ienaidniekiem Viņš rādās varens.
Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man. He will stir up his zeal like a man of war. He will cry, yea, he will shout aloud. He will do mightily against his enemies.
14 Sen laiku Es esmu klusu cietis, esmu klusu bijis un savaldījies. Bet nu Es brēkšu, kā sieva, kas dzemdē, elzdams un pūzdams ar varu.
I have for a long time held my peace. I have been still, and refrained myself. Now I will cry out like a travailing woman. I will gasp and pant together.
15 Es postīšu kalnus un pakalnus un likšu sakalst visam viņu zaļumam un darīšu upes par salām, un izžāvēšu ezerus.
I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs. And I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.
16 Un Es vadīšu aklus pa ceļu, ko tie nav zinājuši, Es tiem likšu staigāt pa tekām, ko tie nav pazinuši, Es darīšu tumsību priekš viņu acīm par gaismu un nelīdzenumu par līdzenumu. Tā Es darīšu un tos neatstāšu.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they know not. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
17 Bet atpakaļ būs griezties un palikt visiem kaunā, kas paļaujas uz elkiem un saka uz lietām bildēm: Jūs esat mūsu dievi.
They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, Ye are our gods.
18 Klausāties, kurlie, un skatāties, aklie, un redziet.
Hear, ye deaf, and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
19 Kas ir tik akls kā Mans kalps un tik kurls kā Mans vēstnesis, ko Es sūtu? Kas ir tik akls kā Tas mīļais, un tik akls kā Tā Kunga kalps?
Who is blind, but my servant, or deaf, as my messenger that I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?
20 Tu esi daudz redzējis, bet neesi ievērojis, ausis atdarījis, bet viņš nedzird.
Thou see many things, but thou do not observe. His ears are open, but he does not hear.
21 Tam Kungam bija labs prāts Savas taisnības dēļ, dot lielu un augstu bauslību.
It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.
22 Bet tie ir postīti un aplaupīti ļaudis, visi saistīti alās un apslēpti cietuma namos, tie ir palikuši par laupījumu, un nav neviena, kas tos izglābj, par postījumu, un nav neviena, kas saka: Atdod atpakaļ.
But this is a people robbed and plundered. They are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses. They are for a prey, and none delivers, for a spoil, and none says, Restore.
23 Kas jūsu starpā to liek vērā, kas uzmana un klausās, kas pēc būs?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will hearken and hear for the time to come?
24 Kas Jēkabu nodeva uz postu un Israēli laupītājiem? Vai ne Tas Kungs, pret ko esam grēkojuši? - Jo tie negribēja staigāt Viņa ceļos un neklausīja Viņa bauslībai.
Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, nor were they obedient to his law.
25 Tāpēc Viņš pār tiem ir izgāzis Savas dusmības bardzību un kara briesmas, ka visapkārt dega; bet tie to neatzina, - un Viņš tos iededzināja, bet tie to neņēma pie sirds.
Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle. And it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not. And it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
