Jesajas 46
1 Bels grūst, Nebus krīt, viņu tēlus uzliek kustoņiem un lopiem; ko jūs nesat, ir nesama nasta piekusušiem (lopiem).
Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth; their idols are upon the beasts, and upon the cattle; the things that ye carried about are made a load, a burden to the weary beast.
2 Tie visi kopā klūp un krīt, tie nevar izglābt to nastu, bet iet paši cietumā.
They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden; and themselves are gone 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, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, that are borne by Me from the birth, that are carried from the 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 old age I am the same, and even to hoar hairs will I carry you; I have made, and I will bear; yea, I will carry, and will deliver.
5 Kam jūs Mani līdzināsiet un turēsiet līdzīgu? Ar ko Mani salīdzināsiet, ka būtu vienādi?
To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be 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.
Ye that lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance; ye that hire a goldsmith, that he make it a god, to fall down thereto, yea, to 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.
He is borne upon the shoulder, he is carried, and set in his place, and he standeth, from his place he doth not remove; yea, though one cry unto him, he cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
8 Pieminiet to un turaties stipri, jūs pārkāpēji, ņemiet to pie sirds.
Remember this, and stand fast; bring it to mind, O ye transgressors.
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 things of old: that I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like 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.
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying: 'My counsel shall stand, and all My pleasure will I do';
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.
Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of My counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass, I have purposed, I will also do it.
12 Klausāties uz Mani, cietsirdīgie, kas esat tālu no taisnības.
Hearken unto Me, ye stout-hearted, that are far from righteousness:
13 Es Savu taisnību tuvu esmu atnesis, tā nebūs tālu, un Mana pestīšana nekavēsies, jo Es došu pestīšanu Ciānā, iekš Israēla Savu godību.
I bring near My righteousness, it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry; and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
