Jesajas 5
1 Nu tad, es dziedāšu savam mīļam, sava drauga dziesmu par Viņa vīna dārzu: manam mīļam bija vīna dārzs taukā pakalnā.
[Now] I will sing a song about my dear friend, and about his vineyard. The vineyard was on a very fertile hillside.
2 Un Viņš to aptaisīja ar sētu un tīrija no akmeņiem un tur stādīja labus vīna kokus un uztaisīja torni vidū un raka vīna spaidu iekšā un gaidīja, ka tas nesīs labus ogu ķekarus, bet tas nesa sūrus ķekarus.
My friend plowed the ground and cleared away the stones. Then he planted very good grapevines on that ground. In the middle of the vineyard, he built a watchtower, and he dug a (winepress/pit for squeezing the grapes). Then he waited [each year] to harvest some good grapes, but the vines produced [only] sour grapes.
3 Nu tad, Jeruzālemes iedzīvotāji un Jūda vīri, tiesājat jel starp Mani un Manu vīna dārzu.
Now [this is what Yahweh says]: “You people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, I [am like the friend, and you are like] my vineyard; [so] you judge which of us [has done what is right].
4 Ko tad vēl vairāk bija darīt pie Mana vīna dārza, nekā Es esmu darījis? Kāpēc Es esmu gaidījis, ka tas labus ogu ķekarus nestu, un viņš nesis sūrus ķekarus?
What more could I have done for you than what I have already done? I expected you to be doing good deeds [MET], so it is disgusting that [RHQ] you were [doing only evil things] like the vineyard that produced only sour grapes!
5 Nu tad, Es jums teikšu, ko Es ar Savu vīna dārzu darīšu. Es atņemšu viņa sētu, ka viņš top noganīts, Es noārdīšu viņa mūri, ka viņš top samīts.
[So], I will now tell you what I will do to [Judah, the place that is like] my vineyard. I will cut down the hedges, and they will be destroyed. I will tear down the walls [of the cities] and allow [wild animals] to trample the land.
6 Un Es viņu darīšu par postažu: viņš netaps apgraizīts nedz apkapāts, bet dadži un ērkšķi tur uzdīgs, un Es pavēlēšu padebešiem, ka uz to nebūs līt lietum.
I will cause it to become a wasteland where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed. It will be a place where briers and thorns [DOU] grow. And I will command that no rain will fall on it.”
7 Tiešām, Tā Kunga Cebaot vīna dārzs ir Israēla nams, un Jūda vīri ir Viņa līksmības stādi. Viņš gaida uz tiesu, un redzi, asins plūdi, uz taisnību, un redzi, vaidi!
The nation of Israel is [like] [MET] the vineyard of the Commander of the armies of angels. The people of Judah are [like] the garden that was pleasing to him. He expected you to be doing what is just/fair, but instead, [what he saw was people] murdering [MTY] others. [He expected that you would be doing] righteous deeds, but instead, he heard cries from people who were being [attacked] violently.
8 Ak vai, tiem, kas rauj namu pie nama, krāj tīrumu pie tīruma, kamēr vietas vairs neatliek, un ka jūs paliekat tie vienīgie iedzīvotāji zemē!
Terrible things will happen to you who continually [illegally] acquire houses and fields. You force one family after another to leave their homes until you are the only ones [HYP] [still] living in the land.
9 Tas Kungs Cebaot saka manās ausīs: tiešām, daudz namu būs postā, lieli un skaisti bez iedzīvotāja.
[But] I heard the Commander of the armies of angels solemnly declare this: “[Some day], many of those huge houses will be empty/deserted; no one will be living in those beautiful mansions.
10 Tiešām, desmit vīna dārza birzumi nesīs vienu vienīgu batu, un viens gomers sēklas nesīs vienu ēfu.
The vines on ten acres of land will not produce enough grapes to make (six gallons/22 liters) [of juice/wine], and ten baskets of seed will produce only one basket [of grain].”
11 Ak vai, tiem, kas agri cēlušies skrien pēc stipra dzēriena, un kavējās līdz tumsai, kamēr vīns tos sakarsē!
Terrible things will happen to those who get up early [each] morning to begin drinking alcoholic drinks, and who stay awake until late at night [drinking a lot of wine] until they are completely drunk.
12 Un tur ir kokles un soma stabules, bungas un stabules un vīns viņu dzīrēs; bet Tā Kunga darbu tie neuzlūko, uz Viņa roku darbu tie nerauga.
They have [big parties and provide lots of] wine. At their parties, there are [people playing] harps and lyres and tambourines and flutes, but they never think about what Yahweh does or appreciate what he has created.
13 Tādēļ Mani ļaudis cietumā taps aizvesti no nejauši, un viņu cienīgie cietīs badu, un viņu dzīrenieki iztvīks no slāpēm.
So, my people will be (exiled/taken to other countries) [far away] because they do not know [about me]. Those who are [now very important and] honored will starve, and the other people will die from thirst.
14 Tādēļ elle atpletusi savu rīkli un atdarījusi savu muti bez mēra, ka nogrimst (Jeruzālemes) greznums un viņas ļaužu drūzma, un viņas troksnis, un kas tur līksmojās. (Sheol h7585)
[It is as though] [PRS] the place where the dead people are is eagerly looking for more Israeli people, opening its mouth to swallow them, and a huge number of people will be thrown into that place, including their leaders as well as a noisy crowd of people who enjoy living in Jerusalem. (Sheol h7585)
15 Tad ļaudis taps locīti un vīri pazemoti, un lepno acis taps pazemotas.
[Yahweh] will get rid of a huge number of people; and he will humble [many more] people who [now] are proud/arrogant.
16 Bet Tas Kungs Cebaot parādīsies augsts tiesā, un Dievs, tas svētais, parādīsies svēts taisnībā.
But the Commander of the armies of angels will be exalted/praised because of his acting justly. God will show that he is holy by doing righteous/just deeds.
17 Tad jēri (tur) barosies kā savās ganībās, un svešinieki noēdīs bagāto izpostītās vietas.
Then lambs and fat sheep will [be able to] find good grass to eat, [even] among the ruins [of the houses of rich people].
18 Ak vai, tiem, kas netaisnību velk ar nelietības valgiem, un grēku kā ar ratu virvēm!
Some people constantly tell lies, and [it is as though] they are dragging behind them the wrong things that they have done. Terrible things will happen to them!
19 Kas saka: Lai Viņš steidzās, lai Viņš drīz dara Savu darbu, ka mēs to redzam, un lai tuvojās un nāk tas padoms, kas Israēla Svētajam, ka mēs to manam.
They [make fun of God and] say [to him, ] “Go ahead, do something [to punish us]! We want to see what you will do. You, the Holy One of Israel, should do what you are planning to do, because we want to know what it is.”
20 Ak vai, tiem, kas ļaunu saka labu esam un labu esam ļaunu, kas tumsību dara par gaismu un gaismu par tumsību, kas rūgtu dara par saldu un saldu par rūgtu!
Terrible things will happen to those who say that evil is good, and that good is evil, that darkness is light and that light is darkness, that what is bitter is sweet and what is sweet is bitter.
21 Ak vai, tiem, kas gudri savās acīs un prātīgi pēc pašu prāta!
Terrible things will happen to those who think that they are wise and that they (are very clever/know everything).
22 Ak vai, tiem, kas varoņi uz vīna dzeršanu un spēka vīri uz stipru dzērienu.
Terrible things will happen to those who [think that] [IRO] they are great/heroes because they are able to drink [lots of] wine, and boast about being able to mix good alcoholic drinks.
23 Kas dāvanu dēļ bezdievīgo attaisno un taisniem atrauj taisnību!
If people offer them bribes in order that they will enable wicked people not to be punished, they accept those bribes, and they cause people who are innocent to be punished.
24 Tādēļ tā kā uguns liesma aprij rugājus un kā svelmē siens sagrūst, tāpat būs viņu sakne kā prauli, un viņu ataugas izputēs kā putekļi, tādēļ ka tie atmet Tā Kunga Cebaot bauslību un nicina Israēla Svētaja vārdus.
Therefore, just like [SIM] fires burn up stubble and dry grass shrivels up and quickly burns in flames, [it will be as though] those people have roots that will rot and have flowers that will wither. [That will happen] because they rejected the laws of the Commander of the armies of angels; they have despised the messages of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Tādēļ Tā Kunga dusmība iedegās pret Viņa ļaudīm, un Viņš izstiepj Savu roku pret tiem un tos sit, ka kalni dreb, un viņu miroņi ir kā dubļi ielas vidū. Ar visu to Viņa dusmība nenovēršas, un Viņa roka vēl ir izstiepta.
That is why Yahweh is [extremely] angry [with his people]; [it is as though] his hand is raised [and he is ready to smash them]. [When he does that], the mountains will shake, and the corpses of people will be scattered in the streets like [SIM] manure. But even when that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry; he will be ready to punish his people [MET] again.
26 Un Viņš paceļ karogu tiem pagāniem, kas tālu, un pasvilps kādam no zemes gala. Un redzi, ātri un steigšus tas nāk.
Yahweh will send a signal to summon [armies of] nations far away; [it is as though] he will whistle [to summon those soldiers who are] in very remote places on the earth. They will come very swiftly [DOU] [to Jerusalem].
27 Neviens nepiekūst un neklūp viņu starpā, neviens nesnauž nedz guļ, nedz viņa gurnu josta ir atraisīta, nedz viņa kurpju siksna sarauta.
They will not get tired or stumble. They will not [stop to] rest or to sleep. None of their belts will be loose, and none of them will have sandals with broken straps, [so they will all be ready to fight in battles].
28 Viņa bultas ir asas un visi viņa stopi uzvilkti, viņa zirgu nagi tik cieti kā akmens, un viņu rati kā viesulis.
Their arrows will be sharp, and their bows will be ready [to shoot those arrows in a battle]. [Because their horses pull the chariots fast], sparks will shoot out from their hooves, and the wheels of the chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
29 Viņu rūkšana ir kā briesmīgām lauvām, un tie rūc kā jauni lauvas un tas kauc un satver laupījumu un aiznes, un glābēja nav.
They will roar like [very strong] lions [DOU] that growl and [then] pounce on the animals they want to kill and carry them off, and no one is able to rescue them.
30 Un tas kauc pret viņiem tai diena, kā jūra kauc; kad zemi uzlūko, redzi, tā ir tumša, rīb un zib, tumši pār tiem arī debesis.
[Similarly, your enemies] will roar when they see the people they are about to kill, like [SIM] the sea roars. [On that day], if someone looks across the land, he will see [only people who are in] darkness and distressed; [it will be as though] even the sunlight is hidden by dark clouds.
