< 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 Yahweh says to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I hold, in order to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, and to open the doors before him, so that gates remain open:
2 Es iešu tavā priekšā un darīšu līdzenus nelīdzenos ceļus, es salauzīšu vara durvis un sadauzīšu dzelzs aizšaujamos.
“I will go before you and level the mountains; I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut in pieces their 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,
and I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden away, that you may know that it is I, Yahweh, who call you by your name, I, the God of Israel.
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.
For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called you by your name, giving you a title of honor, though you have not known me.
5 Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens, dieva nav, kā Es vien. Es tevi esmu apjozis, jebšu tu Mani nepazini,
I am Yahweh, and there is no other; there is no God but me. I will arm you for battle, though you have not known me;
6 Lai zināms top no saules uzlēkšanas un noiešanas, ka neviena nav bez Manis: Es esmu Tas Kungs, un cits neviens.
that people may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is no god but me: I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
7 Es ceļu gaismu un radu tumsu, Es daru mieru un radu ļaunumu. Es Tas Kungs daru to visu.
I form the light and create darkness; I bring peace and create disaster; I am Yahweh, who does all these things.
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.
You heavens, rain down from above! Let the skies rain down righteousness. Let the earth absorb it, that salvation may sprout up, and righteousness spring up together with it. I, Yahweh, have created them both.
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?
Woe to anyone who argues with the one who formed him, to him who is like any other earthen pot among all the earthen pots in the ground! Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles on it'?
10 Ak vai, tam, kas saka uz tēvu: kam tu dzemdini? Un uz māti: kam tu dzemdē?
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you fathering?' or to a woman, 'What are you giving birth to?'
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 Yahweh says, the Holy One of Israel, his Maker: 'Why do you ask questions about what I will do for my children? Do you tell me what to do concerning the work of my hands?'
12 Es esmu darījis zemi un radījis cilvēku zemes virsū. Es tas esmu, Manas rokas izplātījušas debesis, un Es pavēlu visam viņu spēkam.
'I made the earth and created man on it. It was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all the stars to appear.
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.
I stirred Cyrus up in righteousness, and I will smooth out all his paths. He will build my city; he will let my exiled people go home, and not for price nor bribe,'” says Yahweh of hosts.
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 Yahweh says, “The earnings of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush with the Sabeans, men of tall stature, will be brought to you. They will be yours. They will follow after you, coming in chains. They will bow down to you and plead with you saying, 'Surely God is with you, and there is no other except him.'”
15 Patiesi, Tu esi apslēpts Dievs, Israēla Dievs, Pestītājs.
Truly you are a God who hides yourself, God of Israel, Savior.
16 Tie taps kaunā un par apsmieklu visi; tie aizies kopā ar kaunu, kas taisa elka dievus.
They will all be ashamed and disgraced together; those who carve idols will walk in humiliation.
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 Yahweh with an everlasting salvation; you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
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.
This is what Yahweh says, who created the heavens, the true God who created the earth and made it, who established it. He created it, not as a waste, but designed it to be inhabited: “I am Yahweh, and there is no other.
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 have not spoken in private, in some hidden place; I did not say to Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain!' I am Yahweh, who speaks sincerely; I declare the things that are 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.
Assemble yourselves and come! Gather together, you refugees from among the nations! They have no knowledge, those who carry carved images and pray to gods that cannot save.
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.
Come close and declare it to me, bring the evidence! Let them conspire together. Who has shown this from long ago? Who announced it? Was it not I, Yahweh? There is no God except me, a just God and a Savior; there is no one besides me.
22 Griežaties pie Manis, tad jūs tapsiet pestīti, visas pasaules gali, jo Es esmu Dievs, un cits neviens.
Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.
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.
By myself I swear, speaking my just decree, and it will not turn back: 'To me every knee will bend, every tongue will swear.
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 of me, “In Yahweh alone are salvation and strength.”'” They will all be ashamed who are angry at him.
25 Iekš Tā Kunga taps taisnoti un lielīsies visi, kas no Israēla dzimuma.
In Yahweh all the descendants of Israel will be justified; they will take pride in him.
