Jesajas 59
1 Redzi, Tā Kunga roka nav paīsināta, palīdzēt, un Viņa auss nav bieza, dzirdēt.
Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, Nor 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 separated you from your God, And your sins have hidden his face from you, that he doth 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 polluted with blood, And your fingers with iniquity; Your lips speak falsehood, And your tongue muttereth wickedness.
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 bringeth his suit with justice, And no one pleadeth with truth; They trust in vain words, and speak lies; They conceive mischief, and bring forth destruction.
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 hatch the eggs of the basilisk, And weave the web of the spider; He that eateth of their eggs dieth, And when one of them is crushed, a viper breaketh forth.
6 Viņu audumi neder drēbēm, un ar viņu darījumiem nevar apsegties, viņu darbi ir nelietīgi darbi, un varmācība ir viņu rokās.
Of their webs no garment is made, Nor can one cover himself with their work; Their works are works of iniquity, And the deed of violence 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; They make haste to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; Oppression and destruction are in their paths.
8 Miera ceļu tie nezin, un tiesa nav viņu gājumos, tie groza savus ceļus; neviens, kas pa tiem staigā, nezin mieru.
The way of peace they know not, Nor is there any justice in their steps; They have made for themselves crooked paths; Whoso goeth in them knoweth not 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 deliverance doth not overtake us. We look for light, and behold obscurity; For brightness, and we walk 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 grope for the wall, like the blind; We feel our way, like those that are deprived of sight; We stumble at noonday as in the night; In the midst of fertile fields we are like the dead.
11 Mēs rūcam visi kā lāči, vaidam kā baloži, gaidām uz tiesu bet nav, uz pestīšanu, bet tā no mums tālu.
We groan, all of us, like bears, And like doves we make a continued moan; We look for judgment, and it cometh not; 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 transgressions are multiplied before thee, And our sins testify against us! For our transgressions are not hidden from us, And our iniquities we know.
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 rebelled, and proved false to Jehovah; We have departed from our God; We have spoken violence and rebellion; Our hearts have conceived and brought forth words of falsehood.
14 Tiesa ir atstumta nost, un taisnība stāv no tālienes, jo patiesība klūp uz ielas, un skaidrība netiek iekšā.
And justice is turned back, And equity standeth afar off, For truth falleth in the gate, And rectitude cannot 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.
Truth is not to be found, And he that departeth from evil is plundered; And Jehovah saw it, And it displeased him that there was no justice.
16 Un Viņš redzēja, ka neviena nav, un brīnījās, ka aizstāvētāja nav. Un Viņam palīdzēja Viņa elkonis, un Viņa taisnība Viņu turēja.
He saw that there was none to help, And wondered that there was none to interpose; Then his own arm wrought salvation for him, And his righteousness it 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 righteousness as a breastplate, And the helmet of salvation upon his head; He put on garments of vengeance for his clothing, And clad himself with zeal, as with a mantle.
18 Tā kā pelnījuši, tā Viņš atmaksās, bardzību Saviem pretiniekiem, atmaksu Saviem ienaidniekiem, salām Viņš atlīdzinās, kā pelnījušas.
According to their deeds will he repay them, —Wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; To the distant coasts will he repay a recompense.
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.
They in the west shall fear the name of Jehovah, And they in the rising of the sun his glory, When he cometh like a river straitened in its course, Which a strong wind driveth along.
20 Un Pestītājs nāks Ciānai un tiem, kas iekš Jēkaba atgriežas no pārkāpšanas, saka Tas Kungs.
Yet shall a redeemer come to Zion, For them that turn from their transgressions in Jacob, saith Jehovah.
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 covenant with them, saith Jehovah: My spirit, which is upon thee, And my words, which I have put in thy mouth, They shall not depart from thy mouth, Nor from the mouth of thy sons, Nor from the mouth of thy sons' sons, saith Jehovah, From this time forth forever.
