Jesajas 56
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: turiet tiesu un dariet taisnību; jo Mana pestīšana ir tuvu nākusi, un Mana taisnība parādīsies.
Thus hath said the Lord, Keep ye justice, and do equity; for near is my salvation to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Svētīgs tas cilvēks, kas to dara, un tas cilvēka bērns, kas stipri pie tā turas, kas svētdienu svēti un to nesagāna, un sargā savu roku, ka nedara ļauna.
Happy is the mortal that ever doth this, and the son of man that ever layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Un tas svešinieks, kas Tam Kungam pieķeras, lai nerunā un nesaka: Tas Kungs mani patiesi atšķirs no saviem ļaudīm; un, kas rāmits(kastrēts), lai nesaka: redzi, es esmu sakaltis koks.
And let not say the son of the stranger, that joineth himself unto the Lord, saying, Surely the Lord will exclude me from his people; nor let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 Jo tā saka Tas Kungs uz tiem rāmitiem: kas svētī Manas svētdienas un to pieņem, kas Man patīk, un stipri tura Manu derību,
For thus hath said the Lord concerning the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and make choice of what pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant.
5 Tiem Es došu vietu Savā namā un Savos mūros, un vārdu, kas labāks nekā dēli un meitas, mūžīgu vārdu Es tiem došu, kas netaps izdeldēts:
I will indeed give unto them in my house and within my walls a place and a name, better than sons and daughters: an everlasting name will I give them, that shall not be cut off.
6 Un tos svešiniekus, kas Tam Kungam pieķeras, Viņam kalpot un Tā Kunga vārdu mīlēt, Viņam būt par kalpiem, - visus, kas svētdienu svētī un to nesagāna, un kas stipri turas pie Manas derības,
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be unto him as servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath by not violating it, and those who take hold of my covenant:
7 Tos Es nesīšu uz Savu svēto kalnu un tos iepriecināšu Savā lūgšanas namā; viņu dedzināmie un viņu kaujamie upuri būs patīkami uz Mana altāra. Jo Mans nams taps nosaukts lūgšanas nams visām tautām.
Even these will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.
8 Tas Kungs Dievs, kas sapulcina Israēla izdzītos, saka: Es pie viņa vēl vairāk sapulcināšu pār tiem, kas jau ir sapulcināti.
Thus saith the Lord Eternal who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, I will yet gather [others] to him, beside his own gathered [outcasts].
9 Visi lauka zvēri, nāciet ēst, arī visi meža zvēri.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, [yea, ] all ye beasts in the forest.
10 Visi viņu sargi ir akli, tie nezin nekā, tie visi ir mēmi suņi, kas nemāk riet, sapņodami tie guļ, iemīl miegu.
His watchmen are all of them blind, they know nothing; they all are dumb dogs, they cannot bark; dreamers, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 Un šie suņi ir plēsīgi un nepieēdināmi. Un šie ir gani, kam pašiem nav saprašanas, tie visi līdz beidzamam iet ikviens pa savu ceļu, pēc savas peļņas.
But the dogs are of a greedy disposition, they know not how to be satisfied; and those are shepherds that know how to understand: they all turn to their own way, every one after his gain, from all quarters.
12 Nāciet šurp, (tie saka) es dabūšu vīnu, un dzersim stipru dzērienu un rītā lai ir kā šodien, papilnam, jo vairāk jo labāk.
Come ye, I will fetch wine, and let us swallow abundantly of strong drink; and like this day shall it be tomorrow, excellent and in very great abundance.
