Jesajas 50
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: Kur ir jūsu mātes šķiršanās grāmata, ar ko Es viņu būtu atstādinājis, un kur ir Mans parādu dzinējs, kam Es jūs būtu pārdevis? Redzi, jūs savu noziegumu dēļ esat pārdoti, un jūsu pārkāpumu dēļ jūsu māte ir atstādināta
This is what the Lord says: Where's your mother's divorce certificate I gave her when I sent her away? Which of my creditors did I sell you to? Now look! You were sold because of your sins, and your mother was sent away because of your wrongdoing.
2 Kāpēc Es nācu, un neviena tur nebija? Kāpēc Es saucu, un neviens neatbildēja? Vai tad Mana roka īsin paīsināta, ka tā nevar atpestīt? Jeb vai Man spēka nav izglābt? Redzi, ar Saviem draudiem Es jūru daru sausu, pārvēršu straumes par tuksnesi, ka viņu zivis smird, jo ūdens nav, un tās mirst aiz slāpēm.
When I came, why wasn't anyone there? When I called, why didn't anyone answer? Is it because I don't have the strength to save you, or the power to rescue you? Can't you see that if I order it, the sea will dry up? I can turn rivers into a desert. Their fish stink because they've died of thirst since there's no water.
3 Es apģērbju debesis ar krēslību un daru maisu viņām par apsegu.
I can make the heavens go dark, covering them with sackcloth like they're in mourning.
4 Tas Kungs Dievs man ir devis mācītu mēli, ka es zinu ar vārdiem stiprināt nogurušus. Viņš uzmodina ik rītu, Viņš uzmodina manu ausi, klausīties kā tie, kas mācās.
The Lord God has given me the ability to teach others, to know how to encourage those who are exhausted with a word. He wakes me up every morning; he helps me listen as a disciple.
5 Tas Kungs Dievs man ausi ir atdarījis, un es neesmu bijis stūrgalvīgs un neesmu atkāpies atpakaļ.
The Lord God has instructed me, and I haven't been rebellious and I haven't turned away.
6 Es savu muguru devu tiem, kas mani sita, un savu vaigu tiem, kas mani plūca; es neapslēpu savu vaigu no nievāšanas un spļaudalām.
I offered my back for people to beat me and my cheeks for people to pull my beard. I didn't hide my face from their mocking and spitting.
7 Jo Tas Kungs Dievs man palīdz, tādēļ es nepaliku kaunā. Tāpēc es savu vaigu esmu darījis kā kramu, jo es zinu, ka nepalikšu kaunā.
The Lord God helps me, so I haven't been disgraced. That's why I'm so determined, setting my face hard as stone, knowing I won't be humiliated.
8 Viņš ir tuvu, kas mani taisno, kas gan ar mani tiesāsies? Saiesim kopā! Kas ir mans pretinieks tiesā? Lai nāk klāt pie manis!
The one who vindicates me is close by, so who will bring charges against me? Let's stand to oppose one another! Come on, anyone who wants to accuse me!
9 Redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs man palīdz; kas mani pazudinās? Redzi, tie visi sadils kā drēbe, kodes tos ēdīs.
The Lord God defends me. Who is going to declare me guilty? Look! Those who try will fall apart like old clothing, eaten up by moths.
10 Kurš jūsu starpā bīstas To Kungu, un klausa Viņa kalpa balsi? Kas tumsībā staigā, kur gaismas nav, tas lai paļaujas uz Tā Kunga vārdu un cerē uz savu Dievu.
Who among you respects the Lord and obeys what his servant says? Who among you walks in darkness and doesn't have light? Let them trust in the Lord and put their confidence in God.
11 Redzi, jūs visi, kas uguni sakurat un sataisāt ugunīgas bultas, ejat paši savās uguns liesmās un tais bultās, ko esat iededzinājuši! Tas jums notiek no Manas rokas, sāpēs jums jāguļ.
Beware all you who start a fire, who pick up blazing torches! Go ahead, walk in the light of your own fire and of the torches you yourselves have set alight! This is what you will receive from me: You are going to lie down in a place of suffering.
