< 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, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you will no longer 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 flour. Remove your veil, lift up your skirt, uncover your legs, and wade through the rivers.
3 Tavs kailums taps atsegts, un tavs kaunums būs redzams, Es atriebšos un nežēlošu neviena.
Your nakedness will be uncovered. Yes, your shame will be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no one.”
4 Mūsu Pestītāja vārds ir Kungs Cebaot, tas Svētais iekš Israēla.
Our Redeemer, the LORD of Armies is his name, is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Sēdi klusu un lien tumsā, Kaldeju meita, jo tevi vairs nesauks par valstu valdnieci.
“Sit in silence, and go into darkness, daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no longer 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 your hand. You showed them no mercy. You laid a very heavy yoke on the aged.
7 Un sacīji: Es būšu mūžīgi valdniece; tā ka tu šīs lietas neesi pie sirds ņēmusi, tu neesi apdomājusi galu.
You said, ‘I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.
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.
“Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will 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 will come to you in a moment in one day: the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your 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 you have trusted in your wickedness. You have said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge has perverted you. You have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one 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 disaster will come on you. You won’t know when it dawns. Mischief will fall on you. You won’t be able to put it away. Desolation will come on you suddenly, which you don’t understand.
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 your enchantments and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have laboured from your youth, as if you might profit, as if you might 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.
You are wearied in the multitude of your counsels. Now let the astrologers, the stargazers, and the monthly prognosticators stand up and save you from the things that will happen to you.
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 are like stubble. The fire will burn them. They won’t deliver themselves from the power of the flame. It won’t be a coal to warm at or a 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.
The things that you laboured in will be like this: those who have trafficked with you from your youth will each wander in his own way. There will be no one to save you.
