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
THUS saith the Lord, Where is the bill of your mother’s divorcement, whom I have put away? or which of my creditors is it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away.
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.
Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 Es apģērbju debesis ar krēslību un daru maisu viņām par apsegu.
I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.
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 hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
5 Tas Kungs Dievs man ausi ir atdarījis, un es neesmu bijis stūrgalvīgs un neesmu atkāpies atpakaļ.
The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back.
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 gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame 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.
For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
8 Viņš ir tuvu, kas mani taisno, kas gan ar mani tiesāsies? Saiesim kopā! Kas ir mans pretinieks tiesā? Lai nāk klāt pie manis!
He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
9 Redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs man palīdz; kas mani pazudinās? Redzi, tie visi sadils kā drēbe, kodes tos ēdīs.
Behold, the Lord God will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
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 is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his 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.
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
