< 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 said Jehovah: 'Where [is] this — the bill of your mother's divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Lo, for your iniquities ye have been sold, And for your transgressions Hath your mother been sent 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 have I come, and there is no one? I called, and there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst.
3 Es apģērbju debesis ar krēslību un daru maisu viņām par apsegu.
I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And sackcloth I make 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 Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.
5 Tas Kungs Dievs man ausi ir atdarījis, un es neesmu bijis stūrgalvīgs un neesmu atkāpies atpakaļ.
The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not — backward I moved not.
6 Es savu muguru devu tiem, kas mani sita, un savu vaigu tiem, kas mani plūca; es neapslēpu savu vaigu no nievāšanas un spļaudalām.
My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to those plucking out, My face I hid not 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.
And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And I know that I am not 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!
Near [is] He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who [is] mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.
9 Redzi, Tas Kungs Dievs man palīdz; kas mani pazudinās? Redzi, tie visi sadils kā drēbe, kodes tos ēdīs.
Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who [is] he that declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A moth doth eat them.
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, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah, And lean 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.
Lo, all ye kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk ye in the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused to burn, From my hand hath this been to you, In grief ye lie down!
