Jesajas 45
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs uz savu svaidīto, Kiru: Es to satveru pie viņa labās rokas, ka Es tautas viņa priekšā metu pie zemes, un atraisu ķēniņu jostas, un atdaru priekš viņa durvis, un vārti nepaliek aizslēgti.
This is what the Lord says to Cyrus, the one he has anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to direct him to defeat nations and to make kings weak, to open doors before him and gates that will not be shut.
2 Es iešu tavā priekšā un darīšu līdzenus nelīdzenos ceļus, es salauzīšu vara durvis un sadauzīšu dzelzs aizšaujamos.
I will go ahead of you and level the mountains. I will break down bronze gates and cut through iron bars.
3 Un Es tev došu mantas, kas tumsā, un apslēpto bagātību, lai tu atzīsti, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas tevi sauc pie vārda, tas Israēla Dievs,
I will give you hidden treasure, treasure concealed in secret places, so that you can know for sure that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
4 Jēkaba, Mana kalpa dēļ, un Israēla, Mana izredzētā, dēļ. Un Es tevi saucu pie tava vārda, Es tevi mīlīgi uzrunāju, kad tu Mani vēl nepazini.
I call you by name and I have given you a title of honor, for the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel the one I chose, even though you don't know me.
5 Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens, dieva nav, kā Es vien. Es tevi esmu apjozis, jebšu tu Mani nepazini,
I am the Lord, there is no God apart from me. Apart from me there is no God. I will make you strong, even though you don't know me,
6 Lai zināms top no saules uzlēkšanas un noiešanas, ka neviena nav bez Manis: Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens.
so that everyone, from the east to the west, will know that there is no God apart from me, that I am the Lord, and there is none apart from me.
7 Es ceļu gaismu un radu tumsu, Es daru mieru un radu ļaunumu. Es Tas Kungs daru to visu.
I create light, and I make darkness, I bring peace and I bring about disaster. I am the Lord and I do all this.
8 Piliet, debesis, no augšienes, un padebeši lai izlej taisnību; lai zeme atveras un izdod pestīšanu, un taisnība lai līdz izaug: Es Tas Kungs to esmu radījis.
Let the rain fall from the sky above, let goodness fall from the clouds, let the earth open up to receive goodness and salvation so they can grow together. I, the Lord, created them.
9 Vai tam, kas pretī runā savam radītājam, poda gabals starp poda gabaliem no zemes! Vai gan māls saka uz savu taisītāju: ko tu dari? Jeb vai tavs darbs sacīs: viņam nav rokas?
What trouble people face when they fight with their Creator—they're just pots among all the other pots on earth! Does the clay tell the potter who is shaping it, “What are you doing?” or “What you're making is so bad it's like you have no hands!”
10 Ak vai, tam, kas saka uz tēvu: kam tu dzemdini? Un uz māti: kam tu dzemdē?
How bad it would be if you said to your father, “Why did you have me?” or to your mother, “Why was I ever born?”!
11 Tā saka Tas Kungs, tas Svētais iekš Israēla un viņa Radītājs: Vaicājiet no Manis nākamas lietas; Manus bērnus un Manas rokas darbu pavēliet Man.
This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel, your Creator: You can ask me about things to come. But are you going to lecture me about my children and what I do?
12 Es esmu darījis zemi un radījis cilvēku zemes virsū. Es tas esmu, Manas rokas izplātījušas debesis, un Es pavēlu visam viņu spēkam.
I'm the one who made the earth, and I created human beings to live there. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I ordered all the stars to come into being.
13 Es viņu esmu uzmodinājis taisnībā un darīšu visus viņa ceļus līdzenus. Viņš uzcels Manu pilsētu un atlaidīs Manus cietumniekus, ne par maksu un ne par dāvanām, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.
Because I do what's right, I will encourage him and smooth out all the roads he takes. He will rebuild my city and will set my exiles free without being paid or bribed to do so, says the Lord Almighty.
14 Tā saka Tas Kungs: ēģiptiešu padoms, Moru ļaužu manta un Zabieši, vīri garu augumu, nāks pie tevis un tev piederēs, un staigās tev pakaļ; saistīti tie atnāks un klanīsies priekš tevis, tie tevi pielūgs: Patiesi, Dievs ir ar tevi, un nav cita Dieva.
This is what the Lord says: “The productive Egyptians and the Ethiopian traders, as well as the tall Sabean people, will come over to you and will belong to you. They will walk behind you in chains and bow down to you, pleading with you, saying, ‘God is certainly with you, and there is no other God besides him.’”
15 Patiesi, Tu esi apslēpts Dievs, Israēla Dievs, Pestītājs.
Yet you are a God who hides himself, God of Israel, Savior.
16 Tie taps kaunā un par apsmieklu visi; tie aizies kopā ar kaunu, kas taisa elka dievus.
Everyone who makes idols are ashamed and humiliated, all of them are disgraced.
17 Bet Israēls top atpestīts caur To Kungu ar mūžīgu pestīšanu; jūs netapsiet kaunā nedz par apsmieklu mūžīgi mūžam.
But Israel will be saved by the Lord with a salvation that lasts forever. You will never be ashamed or disgraced for all eternity.
18 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs, kas debesis radījis, tas Dievs, kas zemi iztaisījis un darījis; Viņš to ir cēlis, Viņš to nav radījis, ka būtu tukša, bet Viņš to taisījis, lai tur dzīvo: Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens.
For this is what the Lord says, the God who created the heavens, who formed and made the earth, he founded it. He didn't make it to be left empty, but formed it to be inhabited. He is the one who says, I am the Lord, and there is no God apart from me.
19 Es neesmu slepeni runājis kādā tumšā zemes vietā. Es uz Jēkaba dzimumu neesmu sacījis: meklējiet Mani velti! Es esmu Tas Kungs, kas runā taisnību un sludina patiesību.
I haven't been talking in secret in an obscure place. I didn't tell the descendants of Jacob: Look for me in a place where no one can be found. I, the Lord, tell the truth—I say what's right.
20 Sapulcējaties un nāciet, tuvojaties visi līdz, kas izglābti no pagāniem! Tie nezin nenieka, kas apkārt nēsā savus izgrieztos koka tēlus, un pielūdz dievu, kas nevar izpestīt.
Gather yourselves together, and come, come close, you refugees of the nations. Aren't they stupid, these people who carry around their wooden idols, and who pray to a god that can't save them?
21 Sludiniet un nāciet klāt, sarunājaties kopā. Kas to ir darījis zināmu no veciem laikiem, kas to sen stāstījis? Vai ne Es, Tas Kungs? Un cita Dieva nav, kā Es vien, taisna Dieva un Pestītāja neviena nav, kā Es vien.
Discuss this together, and then speak up, present your case. Who predicted this long ago? Who said what would happen in the future back in the past? Wasn't that me, the Lord? There is no other God except me, no other God who does what is right, and who saves. There is no God apart from me.
22 Griežaties pie Manis, tad jūs tapsiet pestīti, visas pasaules gali, jo Es esmu Dievs, un cits neviens.
Everyone on earth, come to me and be saved, for I am God and there is no God apart from me.
23 Es esmu zvērējis pie Sevis paša, taisnība no Manas mutes izgājusi, vārds, kas nav pārgrozāms: tiešām, visi ceļi Manā priekšā locīsies, visas mēles Man zvērēs.
I have sworn by my own self, I have spoken what is right, and I won't ever go back on it. Everyone shall bow before me; everyone shall acknowledge me.
24 Par Mani sacīs: tiešām, iekš Tā Kunga ir taisnības darbi un stiprums. Pie Viņa ies. Bet kas Viņam turas pretī, paliks kaunā.
They will say about me, “Salvation and strength can only be found in the Lord.” Everyone who has fought against him will come to him and will be ashamed.
25 Iekš Tā Kunga taps taisnoti un lielīsies visi, kas no Israēla dzimuma.
But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel will be made right, and they will glory in him.
