Jesajas 46
1 Bels grūst, Nebus krīt, viņu tēlus uzliek kustoņiem un lopiem; ko jūs nesat, ir nesama nasta piekusušiem (lopiem).
Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
2 Tie visi kopā klūp un krīt, tie nevar izglābt to nastu, bet iet paši cietumā.
They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
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 Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who 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] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
5 Kam jūs Mani līdzināsiet un turēsiet līdzīgu? Ar ko Mani salīdzināsiet, ka būtu vienādi?
To whom do ye liken Me, and make 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.
— They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
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 lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
8 Pieminiet to un turaties stipri, jūs pārkāpēji, ņemiet to pie sirds.
Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O 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 former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, 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 from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight 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 from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
12 Klausāties uz Mani, cietsirdīgie, kas esat tālu no taisnības.
Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who 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 have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
