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 perishes, and no man lays it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
2 Kas savu taisno ceļu gājuši, nāk pie miera un dus savos kambaros.
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
3 Bet jūs, nākat šurp, zīlnieces bērni, laulības pārkāpēja un maucinieces dzimums.
But draw near here, all of you sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
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 all of you sport yourselves? against whom make all of you a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are all of you 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.
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying 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 stream is your portion; they, they are your lot: even to them have you poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7 Tu taisīji savu gultu lielā un augstā kalnā, ir tur tu uzkāpi, upurus upurēt.
Upon a lofty and high mountain have you set your bed: even thither went you up 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.
Behind the doors also and the posts have you set up your remembrance: for you have discovered yourself to another than me, and are gone up; you have enlarged your bed, and made you a covenant with them; you loved their bed where you 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 you went to the king with ointment, and did increase your perfumes, and did send your messengers far off, and did debase yourself even unto hell. (Sheol h7585)
10 Tu nopūlējies savā garā ceļā un nesacīji: velti! Tu atradi jaunu spēku, tāpēc tu nenoguri.
You are wearied in the greatness of your way; yet said you not, There is no hope: you have found the life of your hand; therefore you were not grieved.
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 you been afraid or feared, that you have lied, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and you fear me not?
12 Es darīšu zināmu tavu taisnību un tavus darbus, ka tie tev nepalīdzēs.
I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not profit you.
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 you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that puts his trust 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 shall say, Cast all of you up, cast all of you 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 that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
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 for ever, neither will I be always angry: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which 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 was I angry, and stroke him: I hid me, and was angry, and he went on perversely 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 unto 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 that is far off, and to him that is near, says the LORD; 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, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Bezdievīgiem nav miera, saka mans Dievs.
There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.
