Jesajas 59
1 Redzi, Tā Kunga roka nav paīsināta, palīdzēt, un Viņa auss nav bieza, dzirdēt.
Behold, the hand of the Lord has not been shortened, so that it cannot save, and his ear has not been blocked, so that it cannot hear.
2 Bet jūsu noziegumi jūs atšķir no jūsu Dieva, un jūsu grēki apslēpj Viņa vaigu no jums, ka Viņš neklausa.
But your iniquities have made a division between you and your God, and your sins have concealed his face from you, so that he would not hear.
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 have been polluted by blood, and your fingers by iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue utters iniquity.
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.
There is no one who calls for justice, and there is no one who judges truly. For they trust in nothing, and they speak emptiness. They have conceived hardship, and they have given birth to iniquity.
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 have ruptured the eggs of asps, and they have woven the webs of spiders. Whoever will eat of their eggs will die. For what has been incubated will hatch into a king snake.
6 Viņu audumi neder drēbēm, un ar viņu darījumiem nevar apsegties, viņu darbi ir nelietīgi darbi, un varmācība ir viņu rokās.
Their weavings will not be for clothing, nor will they cover themselves with their handiwork. Their works are useless things, and the work of iniquity is 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 run to evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are useless thoughts; devastation 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 not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps. Their paths have become crooked for them. Anyone who treads in them knows no 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.
Because of this, judgment is far from us, and justice will not take hold of us. We waited for light, and behold, darkness; we waited for brightness, and we walked in darkness.
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 groped for the wall, like one who is blind, and we felt our way, like one without eyes. We stumbled at midday, as if in darkness; and in darkness, as if in death.
11 Mēs rūcam visi kā lāči, vaidam kā baloži, gaidām uz tiesu bet nav, uz pestīšanu, bet tā no mums tālu.
We will all roar like bears, and we will sigh like despondent doves. We hoped for judgment, and there is none; for salvation, and 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 iniquities have been multiplied in your sight, and our sins have answered us. For our wickedness is with us, and we have acknowledged our iniquities:
13 Mēs esam atkāpušies un To Kungu aizlieguši, nogriezušies no sava Dieva, runājam varmācību un bezdievību, sadomājam un izgāžam no sirds melu valodu.
sinning and lying against the Lord. And we have turned away, not so as to go after our God, and so that we were speaking calumny and transgression. We have conceived, and spoken from the heart, words of falsehood.
14 Tiesa ir atstumta nost, un taisnība stāv no tālienes, jo patiesība klūp uz ielas, un skaidrība netiek iekšā.
And judgment has been turned backwards, and justice has stood far away. For truth has fallen down in the street, and fairness was not able to enter.
15 Tiešām, patiesība palikusi reta, un kas no ļauna atkāpjas, paliek par laupījumu. Tas Kungs to redzēja, un tas viņam nepatika, ka taisnības nav.
And the truth has gone into oblivion. And he who withdraws from evil endures plunder. And the Lord saw this, and it seemed evil in his eyes. For there is no judgment.
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 good man. And he was astonished that there was no one to meet him. And his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice strengthened him.
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.
He clothed himself with justice as with a breastplate, and with a helmet of salvation upon his head. He put on the vestments of vengeance, and he was covered with zeal as with a cloak.
18 Tā kā pelnījuši, tā Viņš atmaksās, bardzību Saviem pretiniekiem, atmaksu Saviem ienaidniekiem, salām Viņš atlīdzinās, kā pelnījušas.
This was for vindication, as a repayment of indignation to his adversaries, and as a sudden reversal for his enemies. He will repay the islands in their turn.
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.
And those from the west will fear the name of the Lord, and those from the rising of the sun will fear his glory, when he arrives like a violent river, which the Spirit of the Lord urges on.
20 Un Pestītājs nāks Ciānai un tiem, kas iekš Jēkaba atgriežas no pārkāpšanas, saka Tas Kungs.
And the Redeemer will arrive in Zion, and to those who return from the iniquity within 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.
This is my pact with them, says the Lord. My Spirit is within you, and my words, which I have put in your mouth, will not withdraw from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring, says the Lord, from this moment, and even forever.
