< 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.
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, you sons of the sorceress, offspring of an adulterer and a prostitute.
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 are you mocking? Against whom do you make a wide mouth, and stick out your tongue? Aren't you children of rebellion, offspring of liars,
5 Jūs esat sakarsuši uz dievekļiem apakš visiem zaļiem kokiem un nokāvāt bērnus pie upēm apakš akmens kalnu stūriem.
you 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 your portion; they, they are your lot; you have even poured a drink offering to them. You have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Tu taisīji savu gultu lielā un augstā kalnā, ir tur tu uzkāpi, upurus upurēt.
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed; there also you went 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 and the posts you have set up your memorial: for you have uncovered to someone besides me, and have 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 )
You went to the king with oil, and increased your perfumes, and sent your ambassadors far off, and debased yourself even to Sheol. (Sheol )
10 Tu nopūlējies savā garā ceļā un nesacīji: velti! Tu atradi jaunu spēku, tāpēc tu nenoguri.
You were wearied with the length of your way; yet you did not say, 'It is in vain.' You found a reviving of your strength; therefore you weren't 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?
"Of whom have you been afraid and in fear, that you lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart? Haven't I held my peace even of long time, and you do not fear me?
12 Es darīšu zināmu tavu taisnību un tavus darbus, ka tie tev nepalīdzēs.
I will declare your righteousness; and as for your works, 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 those who you have gathered deliver you; 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.
He will say, "Build up, build 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, with him also 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, neither will I be always angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls who 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 struck him; I hid myself 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 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; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.
21 Bezdievīgiem nav miera, saka mans Dievs.
"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
