Jesajas 57
1 Taisnais iet bojā, un nav neviena, kas to ņem pie sirds, un dievbijīgie top aizrauti, un neviens to neliek vērā. Jo taisnais top aizrauts, pirms ļaunums nāk.
The righteous man perishes, and no man lays it to heart. And merciful men are taken away; none considering that the righteous man is taken away from the evil.
2 Kas savu taisno ceļu gājuši, nāk pie miera un dus savos kambaros.
He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.
3 Bet jūs, nākat šurp, zīlnieces bērni, laulības pārkāpēja un maucinieces dzimums.
But draw near here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
4 Par ko jūs smejaties? Pret ko jūs atplēšat savu muti un izstiepjat savu mēli? Vai jūs neesat pārkāpēju bērni un viltnieku dzimums?
Against whom do ye sport yourselves, against whom ye make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
5 Jūs esat sakarsuši uz dievekļiem apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un nokāvāt bērnus pie upēm apakš akmens kalnu stūriem.
ye who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree, who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Pie gludeniem upes akmeņiem bija tava daļa, tā bija tava tiesa, un tiem tu izlēji dzeramu upuri un upurēji ēdamu upuri; vai Man ar to bija mierā būt?
Among the smooth stones of the valley is thy portion. They, they are thy lot, even to them thou have poured a drink offering; thou have offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Tu taisīji savu gultu lielā un augstā kalnā, ir tur tu uzkāpi, upurus upurēt.
Upon a high and lofty mountain thou have set thy bed. Thou also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8 Un aiz durvīm un stenderēm tu liki savu piemiņas zīmi, jo atstādamies no manis tu atsedzi un kāpi un taisīji platu savu gultu un līki ar tiem.
And behind the doors and the posts thou have set up thy memorial. For thou have uncovered thyself to another than me, and have gone up. Thou have enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them. Thou loved their bed where thou saw it.
9 Tu iemīlēji viņu gultu un uzlūkoji to vietu. Tu gāji ar eļļu pie ķēniņa un nesi daudz smaržīgu zāļu, un tālu sūtīji savus vēstnešus un meties zemē līdz ellei. (Sheol h7585)
And thou went to the king with oil, and increased thy perfumes, and sent thine ambassadors far off, and debased thyself even to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Tu nopūlējies savā garā ceļā un nesacīji: velti! Tu atradi jaunu spēku, tāpēc tu nenoguri.
Thou were wearied with the length of thy way, yet thou did not say, It is in vain. Thou found a quickening of thy strength, therefore thou were not faint.
11 Bet no kā tev bija bail un ko tu bijies? Jo tu paliki par meli un Mani nepieminēji un neņēmi pie sirds. - Vai nav tā, kad Es sen dienām klusu cietis, tad tu Manis nebīsties?
And of whom have thou been afraid and in fear, that thou lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have I not held my peace even of long time, and thou do not fear me?
12 Es darīšu zināmu tavu taisnību un tavus darbus, ka tie tev nepalīdzēs.
I will declare thy righteousness. And as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.
13 Kad tu brēksi, tad lai tev palīdz tavs (dievekļu) pulks; bet vējš tos visus aiznesīs, un vēsma tos aizraus. Bet kas uz Mani paļaujas, tas iemantos zemi un Manu svēto kalnu.
When thou cry, let those whom thou have gathered deliver thee. But the wind shall take them; a breath shall carry them all away. But he who takes refuge in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
14 Un Viņš sacīs: līdziniet, līdziniet, sataisiet ceļu, atņemat šķēršļus no Manu ļaužu ceļa.
And he will say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way. Take up the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.
15 Jo tā saka tas Augstais un Varenais, kas dzīvo mūžīgi un kā vārds ir svēts: Es dzīvoju augstībā un svētā vietā un pie tā, kam sagrauzts un pazemīgs gars, ka dzīvu daru garu pazemīgiem un dzīvu daru sirdi sagrauztiem.
For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, also with him who is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
16 Jo Es nebāršos mūžīgi nedz dusmošos bez gala; jo priekš Mana vaiga nonīktu gars un tās dvēseles, ko esmu radījis.
For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry, for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls that I have made.
17 Es biju apskaities par viņu grēcīgo mantas kārību un tos situ un apslēpos un apskaitos, taču tie atkāpušies aizgāja pa savas sirds ceļu.
For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry, and smote him. I hid my face and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
18 Es ieraudzīju viņu ceļus, un tos dziedināšu, un Es tos vadīšu un došu prieku tiem, kas apbēdināti.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will lead him also, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
19 Es radīšu lūpu augļus: miers, miers lai ir tiem, kas tālu un kas tuvu, saka Tas Kungs, un Es tos dziedināšu.
I create the fruit of the lips. Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near, says Jehovah, and I will heal him.
20 Bet tie bezdievīgie ir kā aizkustināta jūra, kas nevar nostāties, un viņas viļņi izmet dūņas un dubļus.
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Bezdievīgiem nav miera, saka mans Dievs.
There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
