Jesajas 59
1 Redzi, Tā Kunga roka nav paīsināta, palīdzēt, un Viņa auss nav bieza, dzirdēt.
Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:
2 Bet jūsu noziegumi jūs atšķir no jūsu Dieva, un jūsu grēki apslēpj Viņa vaigu no jums, ka Viņš neklausa.
But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.
3 Jo jūsu rokas ir sagānītas ar asinīm un jūsu pirksti ar netaisnību, jūsu lūpas runā viltību, un jūsu mēle izdomā nepatiesību.
For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.
4 Neviena nav, kas taisnību sludina, un neviena, kas uzticīgi tiesā; tie paļaujas uz tukšiem niekiem un runā viltu, tie nesās ar nelietību un dzemdē postu.
No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.
5 Tie perē čūsku pautus(olas) un auž zirnekļa tīklus. Kas no viņu pautiem ēd, tam jāmirst, un kad vienu samin, tad odze izlec.
They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.
6 Viņu audumi neder drēbēm, un ar viņu darījumiem nevar apsegties, viņu darbi ir nelietīgi darbi, un varmācība ir viņu rokās.
Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.
7 Viņu kājas skrien uz ļaunumu un steidzās izliet nenoziedzīgas asinis, viņu domas ir nelietīgas domas, posts un nelaime ir uz viņu ceļiem.
Their feet go quickly to evil, and they take delight in the death of the upright; their thoughts are thoughts of sin; wasting and destruction are in their ways.
8 Miera ceļu tie nezin, un tiesa nav viņu gājumos, tie groza savus ceļus; neviens, kas pa tiem staigā, nezin mieru.
They have no knowledge of the way of peace, and there is no sense of what is right in their behaviour: they have made for themselves ways which are not straight; whoever goes in them has no knowledge of peace.
9 Tādēļ tiesa ir tālu no mums, un taisnība mūs nepanāk, mēs gaidām uz gaismu, bet redzi, te ir tumsa, - uz spožumu, bet mēs staigājam krēslā.
For this cause our right is far from us, and righteousness does not overtake us: we are looking for light, but there is only the dark; for the shining of the sun, but our way is in the night.
10 Mēs grābstāmies gar sienām, kā akli, un kā kam acu nav, tā mēs grābstāmies; mēs piedauzamies dienas vidū tā kā krēslā, pašā zaļā dzīvībā esam kā miruši.
We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.
11 Mēs rūcam visi kā lāči, vaidam kā baloži, gaidām uz tiesu bet nav, uz pestīšanu, bet tā no mums tālu.
We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 Jo mūsu pārkāpumu ir daudz Tavā priekšā, un mūsu grēki dod pret mums liecību. Jo mūsu pārkāpumi ir mūsu priekšā, un mēs zinām savus noziegumus,
For our evil doings are increased before you, and our sins give witness against us: for our evil doings are with us, and we have knowledge of our sins:
13 Mēs esam atkāpušies un To Kungu aizlieguši, nogriezušies no sava Dieva, runājam varmācību un bezdievību, sadomājam un izgāžam no sirds melu valodu.
We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.
14 Tiesa ir atstumta nost, un taisnība stāv no tālienes, jo patiesība klūp uz ielas, un skaidrība netiek iekšā.
And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.
15 Tiešām, patiesība palikusi reta, un kas no ļauna atkāpjas, paliek par laupījumu. Tas Kungs to redzēja, un tas viņam nepatika, ka taisnības nav.
Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.
16 Un Viņš redzēja, ka neviena nav, un brīnījās, ka aizstāvētāja nav. Un Viņam palīdzēja Viņa elkonis, un Viņa taisnība Viņu turēja.
And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.
17 Un Viņš apvilka taisnību kā krūšu bruņas un lika galvā pestīšanas bruņu cepuri, un Viņš apvilka par apģērbu atriebšanas drēbes un apņēma karstu dusmību kā mēteli.
Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.
18 Tā kā pelnījuši, tā Viņš atmaksās, bardzību Saviem pretiniekiem, atmaksu Saviem ienaidniekiem, salām Viņš atlīdzinās, kā pelnījušas.
He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.
19 Tad bīsies Tā Kunga vārdu no vakara puses un no saules uzlēkšanas Viņa godību; jo Viņš nāks kā uzplūdusi upe, ko Tā Kunga dvaša dzen.
So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.
20 Un Pestītājs nāks Ciānai un tiem, kas iekš Jēkaba atgriežas no pārkāpšanas, saka Tas Kungs.
And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.
21 “Šī ir Mana derība ar tiem,” saka Tas Kungs: “Mans Gars, kas uz tevi, un mani vārdi, ko esmu licis tavā mutē, tie neatstāsies no tavas mutes, nedz no tava dzimuma mutes, nedz no tavu bērnu bērnu mutes,” saka Tas Kungs, “no šī laika mūžīgi mūžam.
And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.
