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.
[You people who live in the] holy city of Jerusalem [APO], wake up! Be strong again! Show that [MTY] your city is beautiful and glorious; foreigners who do not believe in God will not enter your city again [to attack you].
2 Nokrati pīšļus, celies, apsēdies, Jeruzāleme! Atraisi sava kakla saites, apcietinātā Ciānas meita!
People of Jerusalem, get up from [humbly] sitting in the dust and sit in places where people are honored! You people who have returned from being exiled, take off from your neck the chains which were fastened around you [as slaves in Babylonia],
3 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs: jūs esat par velti pārdoti, jūs arī bez naudas tapsiet atpirkti.
because this is what Yahweh says: “[When you were taken to Babylonia], no one paid me for doing that. So now I will bring you back without [being required to] pay for you!”
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs: vecos laikos Mani ļaudis nogāja uz Ēģipti, tur piemist, un Asurs tos bez vainas apbēdinājis.
Yahweh [our] Lord [also] says this: “Long ago, my people went to Egypt to live there. [Later] they were being (oppressed/treated cruelly) by [the soldiers of] Assyria.
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.
But now think about what is happening: My people are being forced to be slaves again, this time by the [people of Babylonia]. And [those who have conquered them this time have also] paid me nothing, and they despise me [MTY] continually [DOU].
6 Tādēļ Mani ļaudis Manu Vārdu pazīs tai dienā, ka Es tas esmu, kas saka: še Es esmu.
But my people will then have a close relationship with [MTY] me, and when that happens, they will know that I am the one who predicted/promised [that it would happen]. It is I, [Yahweh, who will do it].”
7 Cik jaukas ir uz kalniem prieka vēstnešu kājas, kas sludina mieru, sola labumu, sludina pestīšanu un uz Ciānu saka: tavs Dievs ir ķēniņš!
It is a wonderful thing when messengers [MTY] arrive on the mountains/hills, bringing good news, the news about [God giving us] peace and saving us, the news that the God to whom we [Israeli people] belong is now ruling/king!
8 Klau, tavu sargu balss! Tie paceļ balsi un gavilē visi, jo tie acīm redz, ka Tas Kungs Ciānu atkal ved atpakaļ.
The watchmen [who are guarding the city] will shout and sing joyfully, because while they are watching they will see Yahweh returning to Jerusalem.
9 Sauciet, gavilējiet, visas Jeruzālemes mūru drupas, jo Tas Kungs Savus ļaudis ir iepriecinājis, Viņš Jeruzālemi atpestījis.
Jerusalem has been ruined, but the people who are there now should start to sing joyfully, because Yahweh will encourage his people; he will set his people free and bring them back to Jerusalem.
10 Tas Kungs ir atsedzis Savu svēto elkoni priekš visu pagānu acīm, un visas zemes gali redzēs mūsu Dieva pestīšanu.
Yahweh will show all the nations that he is holy and powerful. People in the most remote/distant places on earth will know that he has rescued his people.
11 Ārā, ārā, izejiet no turienes ārā, neaizskariet nešķīstu, ejat ārā no viņu vidus, šķīstaties, kas Tā Kunga rīkus nesat.
So, leave [the places where you were taken to when you were captured], where [everything is] unacceptable to God. You men who carry the items used for the worship of Yahweh, leave there [and return to Jerusalem], and purify yourselves [in order to be acceptable to worship God].
12 Neizejat steigšus un neejat projām bēgšus, jo Tas Kungs ies jūsu priekšā, un jums pakaļ ies Israēla Dievs.
But it will not [be necessary] for you to leave suddenly, to flee in panic, because Yahweh will (go in front of/lead) you; and he will [also] protect you [from being attacked] at the rear [while you travel].
13 Redzi, Mans kalps darīs prātīgi, viņš būs paaugstināts un augsti celts un ļoti augsti turēts.
[Yahweh says], “Listen carefully! My servant will act wisely (OR, do the right things to accomplish what he wants to), and I will highly exalt him.”
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 people will be appalled when they see what has happened to him. [Because of his being beaten very badly], his appearance will be changed; people will hardly recognize that he is a 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.
But he will cause [people of] many nations to be surprised; [even] kings will be silent when they stand in front of him, because they will see someone that no one had told them about [previously], and they will understand things that they had not heard about [before].
