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: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
2 Ņem dzirnas un mal miltus, atklāj savu apsegu, atsedz kājas, atklāj ceļus, brien caur upēm.
Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
3 Tavs kailums taps atsegts, un tavs kaunums būs redzams, Es atriebšos un nežēlošu neviena.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yes, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
4 Mūsu Pestītāja vārds ir Kungs Cebaot, tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
[As for] our Redeemer, the LORD 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 silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady 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 wroth with my people, I have polluted my inheritance, and given them into thy hand: thou didst show them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
7 Un sacīji: Es būšu mūžīgi valdniece; tā ka tu šīs lietas neesi pie sirds ņēmusi, tu neesi apdomājusi galu.
And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
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.
Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thy heart, I [am], and none else besides me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
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.
But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection, for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for 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!
For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thy heart, I [am], and none else 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; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which] thou shalt not know.
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!
Stand now with thy enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, in which thou hast labored from thy youth; if thou shalt be able to profit, if thou mayest prevail.
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.
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the star-gazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from [these 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 as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
15 Tādi tev būs tie, ar ko esi darbojusies, tavi biedri no tavas jaunības; ikviens maldīsies pa savu ceļu, neviens tevi neizpestīs.
Thus shall they be to thee with whom thou hast labored, [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
