Jesajas 54
1 Dziedi priecīgi, neauglīgā, kas neesi dzemdējusi, līksmodamies slavē un gavilē, kam bērnu sāpes nav bijušas. Jo tai vientulei ir vairāk bērnu, nekā tai laulātai, saka Tas Kungs.
Yahweh says, “You [people of Jerusalem] [MET], start to sing! You [who are like] [MET] women who have never given birth to children, sing loudly and shout joyfully, because you, [who are like] [MET] childless women who have been abandoned [by their husbands], will [soon] have more children than women who have never had any children.
2 Paplēti savas telts vietu, un paplašini sava dzīvokļa aizkarus, nekavē, pagarini savas virves un stiprini savus telts mietus.
Make your tents larger; make them wider, and fasten them firmly with tent pegs.
3 Jo tu vairosies pa labo un pa kreiso roku, un tavs dzimums iemantos tautas un dzīvos postītās pilsētās.
[You will need to make your city much larger] because [soon] you and your descendants will spread all over the land. They will force the people of [other] nations [who now live in your cities] to leave, and you will live [again] in those cities [that were previously abandoned].
4 Nebīsties, jo tu netapsi kaunā, un nekaunies, jo tu netapsi apsmieklā, jo tu aizmirsīsi savas jumpravības kaunu un savas atraitnības negodu tu vairs nepieminēsi.
Do not be afraid; you will no [longer] be ashamed. Previously you were ashamed [because your enemies conquered you] and caused many of your women to become widows, but [soon] you will not even remember that.
5 Jo tavs Radītājs ir tavs vīrs, Kungs Cebaot ir Viņa vārds, un tas Svētais iekš Israēla ir tavs Pestītājs, - Viņš tiek saukts visas pasaules Dievs.
[I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the Holy one of Israel, who rules over the whole earth, the one who created you, will be [like] [MET] a husband to you.
6 Jo Tas Kungs tevi aicinājis kā atstātu un no sirds noskumušu sievu, un kā jaunības sievu, kas bija nicināta, saka tavs Dievs.
You were like a woman whose husband left her, and caused you to be very sad; you were like a young woman who got married when she was [very] young, and then her husband abandoned her.
7 Mazu acumirkli Es tevi biju atstājis, bet ar lielu žēlastību Es tevi gribu sapulcināt.
I abandoned you [people of Jerusalem] for a while, but [now] I am saying, ‘I will take you back.’
8 Dusmu brīdī Es Savu vaigu esmu apslēpis no tevis kādu acumirkli, bet ar mūžīgu žēlastību Es par tevi gribu apžēloties, saka Tas Kungs, tavs Pestītājs.
I was very angry with you for a while, and I turned away from you. But I will act mercifully toward you and I will faithfully love you forever. That is what [I], Yahweh, your protector, say to you.
9 Jo tas Man būs kā Noas ūdeņi, kur Es zvērēju, ka Noas ūdeņiem nebija vairs pārplūst zemi; tāpat Es esmu zvērējis, ka Es par tevi vairs negribu dusmoties, nedz tevi rāt.
During the time that Noah lived, I solemnly promised that I would never again allow a flood to cover the earth. So [now] I solemnly promise that I will not be angry with you again and (rebuke you/threaten to punish you).
10 Jo kalni atkāpsies un pakalni šaubīsies, bet Mana žēlastība no tevis neatkāpsies, un Mana miera derība nešaubīsies, saka Tas Kungs, tavs apžēlotājs.
Even if the mountains and hills shake and collapse, I will not stop faithfully loving you, and I will not cancel my agreement to cause things to go well for you. That is what [I], Yahweh, who act mercifully, say.
11 Tu apbēdinātā, vētrām šaubītā, tu neiepriecinātā, redzi, Es tavus akmeņus likšu skaistumā un tevi uztaisīšu uz safīriem.
You [people of Jerusalem] [APO], [your enemies acted very violently toward you]; [it was as though] your city was battered by a severe storm, and no one helped you. But [now] I will cause your city to be rebuilt with stones made of (turquoise/valuable stones), and I will cause the foundations of the city to be made of (sapphires/valuable blue stones).
12 Un tavus logus Es darīšu no kristāla un tavus vārtus no rubīna akmeņiem un visas tavas robežas no dārgiem akmeņiem.
I will cause the towers on the city wall to be made of (rubies/valuable red stones), and all the gates of the city will be made of [other] very valuable stones.
13 Un visi tavi bērni būs no Tā Kunga mācīti, un tavu bērnu miers būs liels.
I will be the one who will teach you people and cause things to go well with you.
14 Caur taisnību tu tapsi stiprināta. Tu būsi tālu no bēdām, jo tev nav ko bīties, un no briesmām, jo tās tev neuznāks.
Your [government] will be strong because of acting justly/fairly; no one will (oppress you/cause you to suffer); you will not be afraid, because there will be nothing [PRS] that will (terrorize you/cause you to become extremely afraid).
15 Redzi, pulcēt sapulcējās, bet tas nav no manis; kas vien pret tevi pulcējās, tas tevis pēc kritīs.
If any army attacks you, it will not be because I have incited them to do that, and you will defeat any group that attacks you.
16 Redzi, Es kalēju esmu radījis, kas ogles uzpūš ugunī un ieroci taisa pēc sava amata, arī to postītāju Es esmu radījis priekš postīšanas.
Think about this: (Blacksmiths/Men who make things from metal) fan the coals to make a very hot flame in order to produce weapons that can be used [in battles], but I am the one who has produced blacksmiths! And I am also the one who created people who destroy [other people and cities].
17 Nevienam ierocim, kas pret tevi taisīts, neizdosies, un tu notiesāsi katru mēli, kas ceļas tiesā pret tevi. Šī ir Tā Kunga kalpu daļa, un viņu taisnība ir no Manis, saka Tas Kungs.
[But I am promising you that I will] not allow you to be defeated/injured by soldiers using weapons that have been made to attack you, and when others try to accuse you, you will (refute them/show that they are wrong). That is the reward that I will give to the people who serve me; I will defend them; that is what [I], Yahweh, promise.”
