Jesajas 46
1 Bels grūst, Nebus krīt, viņu tēlus uzliek kustoņiem un lopiem; ko jūs nesat, ir nesama nasta piekusušiem (lopiem).
Bel is broken, Nebo is destroyed: their idols are put upon beasts and cattle, your burdens of heavy weight even unto weariness.
2 Tie visi kopā klūp un krīt, tie nevar izglābt to nastu, bet iet paši cietumā.
They are consumed, and are broken together: they could not save him that carried them, and they themselves shall go into captivity.
3 Klausies uz Mani, Jēkaba nams, un visi atlikušie no Israēla nama, ko esmu nesis no mātes miesām un uzņēmis no mātes klēpja.
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried by my bowels, are borne up by my womb.
4 Un līdz pašam vecumam Es būšu tas pats, kamēr jūs topat sirmi, Es nesīšu. Es to esmu darījis, un Es jūs uzņemšu, un Es nesīšu un izglābšu.
Even to your old age I am the same, and to your grey hairs I will carry you: I have made you, and I will bear: I will carry and will save.
5 Kam jūs Mani līdzināsiet un turēsiet līdzīgu? Ar ko Mani salīdzināsiet, ka būtu vienādi?
To whom have you likened me, and made me equal, and compared me, and made me like?
6 Tie izber zeltu no maka un sver sudrabu ar svaru, tie sader sudraba kalēju, un tas to iztaisa par dievekli, tie metās ceļos un to pielūdz.
You that contribute gold out of the bag, and weigh out silver in the scales: and hire a goldsmith to make a god: and they fall down and worship.
7 Tie to ceļ uz pleciem, to nes, un to noliek savā vietā. Tur viņš stāv un neatstājās no savas vietas; viņu arī piesauc, bet tas neatbild un neviena neizglābj no bēdām.
They bear him on their shoulders and carry him, and set him in his piece, and he shall stand, and shall not stir out of his place. Yea, when they shall cry also unto him, he shall not hear: he shall not save them from tribulation.
8 Pieminiet to un turaties stipri, jūs pārkāpēji, ņemiet to pie sirds.
Remember this, and be ashamed: return, ye transgressors, to the heart.
9 Pieminiet pagājušās lietas no vecu veciem laikiem; jo Es esmu Dievs, un cits neviens, Es esmu Dievs, un nav neviena kā Es,
Remember the former age, for I am God, and there is no God beside, neither is there the like to me:
10 Kas no iesākuma galu dara zināmu, un no senlaikiem to, kas vēl nav noticis, kas saka: Mans padoms pastāvēs, un Es darīšu visu, kas Man patīk.
Who shew from the beginning the things that shall be at last, and from ancient times the things that as yet are not done, saying: My counsel shall stand, and all my will shall be done:
11 Es aicināju ērgli no rīta puses un vīru pēc Sava padoma no tālas zemes. Es to esmu runājis un tam likšu nākt, Es to esmu apņēmies, Es to arī izdarīšu.
Who call a bird from the east, and from a far country the man of my own will, and I have spoken, and will bring it to pass: I have created, and I will do it.
12 Klausāties uz Mani, cietsirdīgie, kas esat tālu no taisnības.
Hear me, O ye hardhearted, who are far from justice.
13 Es Savu taisnību tuvu esmu atnesis, tā nebūs tālu, un Mana pestīšana nekavēsies, jo Es došu pestīšanu Ciānā, iekš Israēla Savu godību.
I have brought my justice near, it shall not be afar off: and my salvation shall not tarry. I will give salvation in Sion, and my glory in Israel.
