< Jesajas 56 >
1 Tā saka Tas Kungs: turiet tiesu un dariet taisnību; jo Mana pestīšana ir tuvu nākusi, un Mana taisnība parādīsies.
This is what Yahweh says, “Observe what is right, do what is just; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about 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.
Blessed is the man that does this, and who holds it tightly. He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps 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.
Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say, “Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people.” The eunuch should not say, “See, 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 this is what Yahweh says, “To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me, and hold fast 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:
to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters. I will give them an everlasting monument that will never 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 foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh— to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him, every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast 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.
—I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations,
8 Tas Kungs Dievs, kas sapulcina Israēla izdzītos, saka: Es pie viņa vēl vairāk sapulcināšu pār tiem, kas jau ir sapulcināti.
this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel— I will still gather others in addition to them.”
9 Visi lauka zvēri, nāciet ēst, arī visi meža zvēri.
All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour, all you 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.
All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand. They are all silent dogs who cannot bark. They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
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.
The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough; they are shepherds without discernment; they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
12 Nāciet šurp, (tie saka) es dabūšu vīnu, un dzersim stipru dzērienu un rītā lai ir kā šodien, papilnam, jo vairāk jo labāk.
“Come,” they say, “let us drink wine and liquor. Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure.”
