Jesajas 52
1 Uzmosties, uzmosties! Apvelc savu stiprumu, Ciāna! Apvelc savas goda drēbes, svētā pilsēta Jeruzāleme! Jo neviens, kas neapgraizīts un nešķīsts, pie tevis vairs nenāks.
Wake up, wake up, Zion! Be strong! Put on your best clothes, Jerusalem, the holy city. Heathen foreigners won't ever enter you again.
2 Nokrati pīšļus, celies, apsēdies, Jeruzāleme! Atraisi sava kakla saites, apcietinātā Ciānas meita!
Shake yourself free from the dust and get up. Sit on your throne, Jerusalem. Throw off the chains around your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
3 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: jūs esat par velti pārdoti, jūs arī bez naudas tapsiet atpirkti.
This is what the Lord says: You were sold for nothing, and you will be bought back without money.
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vecos laikos Mani ļaudis nogāja uz Ēģipti, tur piemist, un Asurs tos bez vainas apbēdinājis.
This is what the Lord God says: First of all, my people went to live in Egypt, then Assyria conquered them for no reason.
5 Un nu, kas nu Man še? Saka Tas Kungs. Jo Mani ļaudis ir par velti atņemti, viņu pārvarētāji gavilē, saka Tas Kungs, un Mans Vārds top zaimots bez mitēšanās cauru dienu.
What do have I to do now? asks the Lord. My people have been taken into captivity for no reason. Those who rule them mock them, and I'm treated with contempt that whole time, says the Lord.
6 Tādēļ Mani ļaudis Manu Vārdu pazīs tai dienā, ka Es tas esmu, kas saka: še Es esmu.
So I'm going to make sure my people know me; at that time they will know that I am the one who means what he says. Yes, it's me!
7 Cik jaukas ir uz kalniem prieka vēstnešu kājas, kas sludina mieru, sola labumu, sludina pestīšanu un uz Ciānu saka: tavs Dievs ir ķēniņš!
What a wonderful sight in the mountains is the one running to bring good news, announcing peace and good news, announcing salvation, telling Zion, “Your God reigns!”
8 Klau, tavu sargu balss! Tie paceļ balsi un gavilē visi, jo tie acīm redz, ka Tas Kungs Ciānu atkal ved atpakaļ.
The city watchmen shout loudly and sing for joy together; they all see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.
9 Sauciet, gavilējiet, visas Jeruzālemes mūru drupas, jo Tas Kungs Savus ļaudis ir iepriecinājis, Viņš Jeruzālemi atpestījis.
Let Jerusalem's ruins all sing for joy for the Lord has come to care for his people; he has set Jerusalem free.
10 Tas Kungs ir atsedzis Savu svēto elkoni priekš visu pagānu acīm, un visas zemes gali redzēs mūsu Dieva pestīšanu.
The Lord has demonstrated his holy power to all the nations; the whole world will see our God's salvation.
11 Ārā, ārā, izejiet no turienes ārā, neaizskariet nešķīstu, ejat ārā no viņu vidus, šķīstaties, kas Tā Kunga rīkus nesat.
Leave, leave, get out of there! Don't bring anything pagan; come out and leave it all behind. Those of you who carry the Lord's sacred articles are to purify yourselves.
12 Neizejat steigšus un neejat projām bēgšus, jo Tas Kungs ies jūsu priekšā, un jums pakaļ ies Israēla Dievs.
But don't leave in a hurry, don't be in a rush as if you're running away, for the Lord will go ahead of you, and he will also protect those at the back.
13 Redzi, Mans kalps darīs prātīgi, viņš būs paaugstināts un augsti celts un ļoti augsti turēts.
Look: my servant will act wisely; he will be praised highly, he will be elevated in position, and seen as someone people look up to.
14 Kā daudz tevis dēļ ir iztrūkušies, - tik nejauks bija viņa vaigs un ne pēc cilvēka, un viņa ģīmis ne pēc cilvēka bērniem, -
But many were horrified by him, so disfigured in appearance, no longer looking like a man, so unlike anyone human.
15 Tā viņš iztrūcinās daudz tautas, un ķēniņi saturēs savu muti viņa priekšā. Jo kam par to nebija sludināts, tie to redzēs, un kas to nebija dzirdējuši, tie to samanīs.
He will surprise many nations, and kings will keep quiet because of him—for they'll see what they haven't been told, and they'll understand what they hadn't heard.
