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.
[Yahweh says, “I want you people to know about] my servant, whom I encourage. I have chosen him, and I am pleased with him. I have given him my Spirit, and he will make certain that all the people-groups do what is right/just.
2 Viņš nebrēks nedz pacels Savu balsi, un Viņa balsi nedzirdēs pa ielām.
He will not [show his power by] shouting [DOU] or by talking very loudly.
3 Ielūzušu niedri Viņš nesalauzīs un kvēlošu dakti Viņš neizdzēsīs, Viņš tiesu nesīs ar patiesību.
He will not get rid of [anyone who is weak like] [MET] a smashed reed, and he will not [end the life of anyone who is helpless like] [MET] someone would extinguish a dimly burning wick [of an oil lamp]. He will faithfully/continually make sure that judges decide cases justly.
4 Viņš nenogurs un nesalūzīs, kamēr iecels tiesu virs zemes, un jūras salas cerēs uz Viņa bauslību.
He will not become exhausted or discouraged all during the time that he is causing things to be done justly throughout the earth. Even [people living on the islands in] [MTY] the oceans will confidently wait for [him to teach them] his laws.”
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.
Yahweh our God created the sky and spread it out. He also created the earth and everything on it. He gives breath to all the people on the earth; he causes them to live [DOU]. [And he is the one who says to his special servant],
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, Yahweh, have chosen you to show people that I always act righteously/fairly. I will grasp your hand and protect you, and I will present you to [my Israeli] people to be the one who will put into effect my agreement with them. [You will be like] a light to the [other] nations.
7 Atvērt akliem acis un saistītos izvest no cietuma un no cietuma nama tos, kas sēž tumsībā.
You will enable blind [IDM] people to see, you will free those who are in prison (OR, who are bound [by the guilt of their sins]) [MET] and release those who are in dark dungeons.
8 Es esmu Tas Kungs, tas ir Mans vārds, un Savu godu Es citam nedošu, nedz Savu slavu elkiem.
I am Yahweh; that is my name. I will not allow anyone else to receive the honor that only I deserve. And I will not allow idols to be praised like only I should be praised.
9 Redzi, kas papriekš sludināts, tas ir noticis, un jaunu Es stāstu; pirms tas izplaukst, Es jums to dodu dzirdēt.”
Everything that I have prophesied has happened, and now I will tell about other things that will happen. I will tell you things that will happen before they happen.”
10 Dziediet Tam Kungam jaunu dziesmu, Viņa slavu no zemes galiem; jūras braucēji ar viņas pilnumu, salas ar saviem iedzīvotājiem.
Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to praise him throughout the world! All you people who sail across the oceans, and all you creatures that live in the oceans, and all you people who live on islands far away, sing!
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.
You people who live in towns in the desert, sing loudly! You people who live in the Kedar [area in the north of Arabia], you rejoice also! You people in Sela [city in Edom], you also should sing joyfully; shout [to praise him] from the tops of your mountains!
12 Lai Tam Kungam dod godu un lai pasludina Viņa slavu salās.
Even people who live on distant islands should honor Yahweh and sing to praise him.
13 Tas Kungs iziet kā varonis, kā karavīrs Viņš iekarsis dusmās; Viņš sauc, Viņš kliedz, Saviem ienaidniekiem Viņš rādās varens.
[It will be as though] Yahweh will march out like [SIM] a mighty soldier; he will show that he is very angry. He will shout a battle-cry, and [then] he will defeat all 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.
[He will say], “I have remained silent [DOU] for a long time; I have restrained myself [from doing what I need to do]. But now, like [SIM] a woman who is giving birth to a baby, I will cry out and gasp and pant.
15 Es postīšu kalnus un pakalnus un likšu sakalst visam viņu zaļumam un darīšu upes par salām, un izžāvēšu ezerus.
I will level off the hills and mountains, and I will cause all the plants and trees to dry up. I will cause the rivers to become small streams, and little islands will appear in them, and I will cause all the pools to become dry.
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.
[My people who have been taken to Babylonia are like] [MET] blind people, [but] I will lead them along a road on which they have not walked before, on a road that they have not seen before. They have felt [very helpless, as though] they were walking in the darkness, but I will take away that darkness and I will make smooth the road that is in front of them. Those are the things that I will do for them; I will not abandon them.
17 Bet atpakaļ būs griezties un palikt visiem kaunā, kas paļaujas uz elkiem un saka uz lietām bildēm: Jūs esat mūsu dievi.
But those who trust in carved idols, and say to images, ‘You are our gods,’ will be completely humiliated/disgraced.”
18 Klausāties, kurlie, un skatāties, aklie, un redziet.
You [Israeli people who have acted toward God like] deaf [people], listen [to what Yahweh says]! “You [who have been like] [MET] blind [people], look!
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?
No people are [RHQ] as blind as my people, who [should have been] serving me. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] deaf people as [the Israelis, who should have been] my messengers. No people are [RHQ] as much like [MET] blind people as those whom I chose to serve me.
20 Tu esi daudz redzējis, bet neesi ievērojis, ausis atdarījis, bet viņš nedzird.
You see and know what are the right things to do, but you do not do them. You hear [what I say to you], but you do not pay attention.”
21 Tam Kungam bija labs prāts Savas taisnības dēļ, dot lielu un augstu bauslību.
Because Yahweh is righteous, he has honored his glorious laws.
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 [the armies of Babylon have destroyed Jerusalem] and have completely (plundered/taken away) [DOU] all the valuable things, and they have captured Yahweh’s people and taken them away and put them in prison. They have been captured easily, because there was no one to protect them; there was no one to say that they should be allowed to return home.
23 Kas jūsu starpā to liek vērā, kas uzmana un klausās, kas pēc būs?
Who among you will listen carefully to these things? Who will pay attention from now on?
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 allowed the valuable possessions of the people of Israel to be stolen [RHQ, DOU]? It was Yahweh, because he is he one against whom we had sinned; we did not conduct our lives like he wanted us to, and we did not obey his laws.
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 was extremely angry with us, and he caused our soldiers to be destroyed in battles. [It was as though] [MET] he lit a fire around us, but we did not understand [what he was trying to tell us]. [His being angry with us was like] a fire that would burn us up, but we did not pay attention [IDM].
