Jesajas 47
1 Kāp zemē un sēdi pīšļos, jaunava, Bābeles meita; sēdies zemē, Kaldeju meita, goda krēsla nav! Jo tevi vairs nesauks par smalku un kāru(mīlīgu).
Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin, daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldaeans! For thou shalt no longer be called the tender and delicate!
2 Ņem dzirnas un mal miltus, atklāj savu apsegu, atsedz kājas, atklāj ceļus, brien caur upēm.
Take the mill-stones and grind meal; Raise thy veil, lift up thy train; Make bare the leg, wade through the streams!
3 Tavs kailums taps atsegts, un tavs kaunums būs redzams, Es atriebšos un nežēlošu neviena.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, And thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance; I will make peace with none.
4 Mūsu Pestītāja vārds ir Kungs Cebaot, tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
Our Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts is his name, The Holy One of Israel.
5 Sēdi klusu un lien tumsā, Kaldeju meita, jo tevi vairs nesauks par valstu valdnieci.
Sit thou in silence; go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldaeans! For thou shalt no more be called the mistress of kingdoms.
6 Es biju dusmīgs par Saviem ļaudīm, Es liku negodā Savu mantības tiesu, un tos nodevu tavā rokā. Bet tu viņiem neparādīji žēlastības, tiem veciem tu uzliki savu ļoti grūto jūgu,
I was angry with my people; I profaned my inheritance, And gave them into thy hand; Thou didst show them no mercy; Even upon the aged didst thou lay a very grievous yoke.
7 Un sacīji: Es būšu mūžīgi valdniece; tā ka tu šīs lietas neesi pie sirds ņēmusi, tu neesi apdomājusi galu.
Thou saidst, “I shall be mistress forever”; So that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, Nor consider what would be the end of them.
8 Tad nu, klausies šo, tu vēlīgā, kas bez bēdām sēdi un saki savā sirdī: es un cita neviena! Es nepalikšu par atraitni un nebūšu bez bērniem.
But hear thou this, thou that art given to pleasure! That sittest in security, And sayest in thy heart, “I am, and there is none besides me; I shall not be a widow, Nor see myself childless!”
9 Tomēr šīs divas lietas piepeši nāks pār tevi vienā dienā: bērnu nebūs, un atraitne būsi, ar pilnu mēru tas nāks pār tevi, ar visu tavu lielo buršanu un ar visu tavu varen lielo vārdošanu.
Behold, both these things shall come upon thee suddenly, in one day, Loss of children, and widowhood; In full measure shall they come upon thee, In spite of thy many sorceries, And the great abundance of thy enchantments.
10 Jo tu esi paļāvusies uz savu blēdību un sacījusi: neviens mani neredz. Tava gudrība un tava zināšana tevi pievīlusi, un tu esi sacījusi savā sirdī: es un cita neviena!
Thou didst trust in thy wickedness, and saidst, “No one seeth me”; Thy wisdom and thy knowledge have led thee astray; Thou saidst in thy heart, “I am, and there is none besides me”;
11 Tādēļ pār tevi nāks ļaunums ko tu nemācēsi atburt, un uz tevi kritīs posts, ko tu ar upuriem nevarēsi novērst, jo piepeši pār tevi nāks nelaime, ko tu neparedzi.
Therefore shall evil come upon thee, of which thou shalt not know the dawn; And mischief shall fall upon thee, which thou shalt not be able to expiate; Suddenly shall desolation come upon thee, when thou thinkest not of it.
12 Paliec jel pie savas vārdošanas un pie savas lielās buršanas, ar ko tu esi darbojusies no savas jaunības, varbūt varēsi izpestīties, varbūt ko izbiedēt!
Persevere now in thy enchantments; In the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth; Perhaps thou mayst be profited by them! Perhaps thou mayst make thyself feared!
13 Tu esi piekususi no savu padomu pulka. Lai jel nu ceļas un lai tevi glābj tie debess dalītāji un zvaigžņu skaitītāji, kas pēc mēnešiem ziņo to, kas pār tevi nāks.
Art thou wearied with thy many devices? Let them stand up, then, and save thee, The observers of the heavens, the star-gazers, They that prognosticate at every new moon The things that shall come upon thee!
14 Redzi, tie ir kā rugāji, uguns tos aprīs, tie savas dvēseles nevarēs izglābt no varenas liesmas. Tās nebūs ogles, kur sildīties, nedz uguns, pie ka atsēsties.
Behold, they shall be like stubble; the fire shall burn them up; They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; Not a coal shall be left of them to warm one, Nor a spark of fire to sit by.
15 Tādi tev būs tie, ar ko esi darbojusies, tavi biedri no tavas jaunības; ikviens maldīsies pa savu ceļu, neviens tevi neizpestīs.
Thus shall it be with them with whom thou hast labored; Thus with them with whom thou hast trafficked from thy youth; They shall go every one his own way; None shall help thee.
