< Jesajas 59 >
1 Redzi, Tā Kunga roka nav paīsināta, palīdzēt, un Viņa auss nav bieza, dzirdēt.
Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy 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 divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should 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 are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth 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 none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth 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 broken the eggs of asps, and have woven the webs of spiders: he that shall eat of their eggs, shall die: and that which is brought out, shall be hatched into a basilisk.
6 Viņu audumi neder drēbēm, un ar viņu darījumiem nevar apsegties, viņu darbi ir nelietīgi darbi, un varmācība ir viņu rokās.
Their webs shall not be for clothing, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are unprofitable works, 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 make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: 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 not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth 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.
Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark.
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 have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
11 Mēs rūcam visi kā lāči, vaidam kā baloži, gaidām uz tiesu bet nav, uz pestīšanu, bet tā no mums tālu.
We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked 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 are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known 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.
In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered 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 is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth bath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in.
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 truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because 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 is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself: and his own arm brought salvation to him, and his own justice supported 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 put on justice as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head: he put on the garments of vengeance, and was clad with zeal as with a cloak.
18 Tā kā pelnījuši, tā Viņš atmaksās, bardzību Saviem pretiniekiem, atmaksu Saviem ienaidniekiem, salām Viņš atlīdzinās, kā pelnījušas.
As unto revenge, as it were to repay wrath to his adversaries, and a reward to his enemies: he will repay the like to the islands.
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 they from the west, shall fear the name of the Lord: and they from the rising of the sun, his glory: when he shall come as a violent stream, which the spirit of the Lord driveth on:
20 Un Pestītājs nāks Ciānai un tiem, kas iekš Jēkaba atgriežas no pārkāpšanas, saka Tas Kungs.
And there shall come a, redeemer to Sion, and to them that return from iniquity in Jacob, saith 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 covenant with them, saith the Lord: My spirit that is in thee, and my words that I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
